So, anyone else loving Ashe's new Volley?

Probably my favorite part of the rework is how strong her W is now. The range is massive, and it's very easy to aim. For having such a low mana cost and cooldown, it does a lot of damage at a very safe range.

It provides great wave-clear as well, which makes it easy to farm at a distance or just murder waves with ease.

Hell the non-existent cooldown later makes her chasing ability pretty fantastic considering how hard it is to avoid.

Anyone else digging the changes?

I like that you can actually hide behind minions and not get hit by it now. It used to seem to always hit you.

I wasn't aware they buffed the range. I really dislike it compared to the old one TBH, but the rest of the rework feels so nice that I can overlook it.

I think W is actually a nerf to Ashe, but I think it's still reasonable. It can be blocked easily, but also it's pretty much impossible to dodge.

It mostly depends on where you are when you shoot it I've noticed. At farther ranges landing it on who you want to is fairly easy but as you get closer you lose the potential for finesse and it's easier to whiff it into targets you don't want to. Even if it is a nerf, the dynamic sniping with it adds is fun to play.

I agree that the changed version is better to the game. I sometimes miss how I could just volley into the minion wave and still hit the enemy though...

I have just been enjoying her Q and E much more.

My biggest issue with it is one unit can block multiple arrows with no extra damage so it's not as important to level as it was before. Basically you just need a point in it to get to 5 Q stacks ASAP. Other than that, it's pretty meh. It's not bad, but not better than before either.

The body blocking is real now, though. If there's anything even sort of close to you it will soak half the volley or more (and it doesn't even do extra damage in this situation like Graves).

But that will probably be less of a problem with practice.
