Really Good Ashe Rework

Stonington·May 22, 2015·10 votes·619 views

The Ashe rework is really good. She's definitely stronger in lane now and does more DPS while playing almost exactly the same as she did before. Riot's done a really good job with her. She might actually be a bit too strong in lane. With all the hate some champions get when they're reworked I figured I'd post a positive thread for once.

The only thing I don't like is the nerf to Ashe support. It's basically unplayable. The passive crit and the W lane harass is much, much worse. But, she's really not supposed to be a support anyway.

I wouldn't say she is too strong in lane, if she is allowed to W>autospam then someone is doing something wrong. She should be the standard to which all other champs are held. Feels perfect.

I haven't played her new kit yet but having played against her quite a bit since release, I already kind of miss the slow being a mana-draining toggle. It's up all the damn time now and it's becoming annoying. >_<

I agree with Stratberrycocoa on this one. The perma-slow and her volley range makes it very hard to trade with her with most adcs/supports. I understand every champ has its counter, but shouldn't there be some cost to slowing enemies so that opponents aren't under constant cc? Caitlyn's passive is only up every 6 aa, lucian's only after abilities, jinx only after champ/turret kills. Where's the balance?

Now you realize how the Miss Fortune mains have felt for years! Her passive disappears completely whenever someone sneezes in her general direction. :-(
