Q - Ranger's Focus The 5-stack flurry attack no longer triggers on attacks against turrets W - Volley Damage: 40/50/60/70/80 ⇒ 20/35/50/65/80 E - Hawkshot Vision radius while travelling: 1500 ⇒ 1000 Hawks update their vision more frequently as they travel

I was one of the people who was really happy to see Ashe on the LCS this split (except some players couldn't cope with her low mobility), but anyways it was really satisfying to see Ashe just on the Rift with the pros no matter how good or bad they played.

With the nerf on her Q, I think it brings back some of her old feeling back as I've felt like she is not that type of ADC that's supposed to machine-gun towers early game, which is more like how Tristana works. I.. I don't really like the W nerfs but I'll cope. :(

However, I feel like E nerfs/ tweaks weren't that necessary. The E is hard to use even with the 1500 radius, and kiting is the only lifesaver of this low mobility ADC. I don't see how the vision updating more frequently would make a difference. I mean, it would, but either way, even if the visions are updated less frequently, I believe we still see everything that the hawk goes over with the 1500 radius; therefore I think the only thing this tweak has done is it just narrows our vision a bit. But.. Why would you do that?

What are your opinions on her nerfs? Of course, Ashe is still a pretty strong ADC after her remake but imo these nerfs are just trying to shape her into the old, plain ADC she was.

Not much to it imo. Her early game is strong since she has a lot of reliable crit DMG. By the time she levels up w her damage will be back to usual.

I max W first, so these changes aren't really targeted towards me, it's meant to be more of a "stop doing damage without points in the spell" change. And she can still shred tanks really well with her q, gunning down towers is a minimal loss IMO.
