Champion with 54% win rate 26% play rate. Everyone considers weak.

Meanwhile when Ryze had a 44% win rate in solo queue, he was still broken.

Either one of two things are going on here.

26% of the ADC player base has mastered Ashe to that high of a degree to where she is winning 54% of her games.

Or

Ashe is that easy to where she shouldn't have a 54% win rate.

Why is everything that League Balance Team does make thing require less and less skill.

Eventually we will get to the point where someone can click R and the champion will automatically jump to an enemy champion ignoring 50% of their resistance, while CCing them, and doing 5 auto attacks worth of damage.

Emphasis on SOLO Q

Ryze's strength had LITERALLY NOTHING to do with solo Q.

It's Ashe jungle being discovered thanks to Worlds that happened.

Nerfing Ashe jungle will most likely solve the problem.

Don't ask me why, but since World started, I keep seeing Ashe jungle and it works o_o''

Add the new skin and her probably her counters being nerfed probably, then bang, she becomes popular in bot lane and people discovers that she'S strong there too now. Pretty much what happened to Sylas : Off-role was surprisingly strong, popularity increased for off and main roles and boom win rate skyrockets because people take time to actually play the champ.

Probably would just make her W deal 80% damage to non-epic monsters.

so she spams W to clear jungle ?

Probably....? I have no actual idea, but I assume that her W is important to actually clearing jungle.

it has a fairly long cd and cost mana, i dont know why any one is letting ashe jungle work

i figure it would be Q cuz after she gets the stacks she hits Q and shreds through a jungle creep

Pretty sure it's because of raptors. The right angle could give 5 or even 6 hits on them from W.

Although I could be entirely wrong.

Ashe jungle?....seems like something that would get oppressed by nearly any meta jungler.

They buffed her to sell the skin, nothing more nothing less.

The champion wasn't weak at all.
