Pretty small changes overall. So, you know, we're just going to turn her into a melee range, male tank that hits people with clubs made of ashen wood he holds in each hand. And he'll be from Shurima of course.

Bad jokes aside we're not looking to change the core of Ashe. Same slow on auto attacks, same global stun ult, same long attack range etc. Changes are focused primarily on making her passive and Q a bit more engaging, consistently relevant. In terms of scale think roughly along the lines of the recent Zilean changes or the Viktor changes from a few months back.

This is terrible. Ashe already has one of the highest win rates in the game in solo queue. If they buff her, she will end up getting nerfed.

Ashe has a rather decent win rate (currently at 50.51% in LoLKing as of 6:36 p.m.), but I don't think she'll be too broken. Not as bad as AoE Jinx crit-rockets (sorry I'm a Jinx-hater, its biased but true). She will still be countered by all-ins I assume. They're trying to make her more scarier to fight without consequence, compared to before.

Her win rate has been higher lately. Its hard to get an average, though.

So long as she doesn't end up with an ability with a vestigial bit of needless complexity dangling off of it like something in dire need of a meeting with a tissue (or toilet paper), I'm all for Ashe getting a Viktor-esque update.

Yes I'm talking about you, Power Transfer. You're a joke of an ability and your projectile does less damage than just right clicking the enemy.

Power-transfer is really good lol both in lane and out of lane. In lane it makes early trading expectionally easy due to the shield that blocks damage, and the auto-enchaner which makes it hard to follow back up because he will then out trade you. Outside of lane the speed buff is awesome and allows viktor to have some constant mobility with the speed up.

Yes but did you notice something: NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT IS IN THE ORIGINAL PROJECTILE.

And you can't use it out of lane for a speed boost BECAUSE YOU NEED A TARGET TO GET THE SPEED BOOST OFF OF, WHICH IS MY ENTIRE POINT.

The shield is on the original projectile and you need a target for all abilities or they are worthless or for at least most of then

You don't need a target for any other self shield.

You don't need a target for any other self speed boost.

You don't need a target for any other AA enchancement.

and no other shield gives a speed boost and an AA enhancement
