Ashe is outdated
So she is one of the oldest champions in the game and definitely outdated. She is an AD carry with 3 passives, two active combat abilities and no steroids or escapes. Those three passives are not really that great either: She has to stay out of combat to build up crit chance, her slow on Q is only decent at max rank, and her gold per cs doesn't even help her that much. Her W is an okay spell, with some okay damage; the slow on it is nice but it doesn't last long for a spell.
I'll talk about her passive first. Like I said before she has to stay out of combat to build up crit chance. In lane phase it isn't that useful because anyone who knows how to play the game knows to stay away from her until she has used her passive on cs. As Ashe you can't go all out just to get one good hit with that crit, and you can't wait for them to get closer. Otherwise, you would end up losing creep score. Now let's fast forward a bit to mid/late game. By that time she should have IE and have Statik Shiv done or almost done; assuming that she hasn't completely lost her lane to the popular spell ADs or the faster harder hitting AA ADs who tend to also have escapes. She should be around 60% crit chance like most ADs in the game, which is more than enough to crit the majority of auto attacks. This basically renders her 100% crit chance passive obsolete. The biggest problem is that you only have that 100% crit chance in the beginning of fights. It is not combat oriented. Once you use it on the tank, because they are probably the closest to you, it's gone until the next team fight. It should continue to stack in combat, or perhaps for every auto attack that doesn't crit you get bonus % crit chance until you crit. Another idea would be that she starts out with 10% crit chance at level 1. This would make her laning phase unique and a unique champion in general. This crit chance would increase as she increases levels and by 18 she could have 20% crit chance. Giving her about 80% crit chance at late game, but like I said before 60% is enough for most ADs. She could maybe just have a completely new passive.
Her Q, Frost Shot, seems to be her only useful passive ability, but it is still lacking. First off, it is not noticeable until max rank. This is when permaslow really kicks in with the combination of Q and her W, Volley. However, Ashe must level up W first for the damage. Her Q won't be max rank until level 13. Secondly, most champions in this game have some sort of dash to close in on Ashe, rendering this slow useless because they can catch her anyways, or to escape her permaslow. She has an entire ability used just as a passive slow that isn't even up to par with the rest of the game. I think this ability could have another passive while it's active: some sort of bonus damage. I'm thinking bonus flat magic damage that scales with ad.
Her E, Hawkshot, is another lame spell. It has a long cooldown to reveal an area of the map for a few seconds. The passive is obsolete as well. The bonus gold doesn't help much and compared to Draven's bonus gold, it's nothing. We have all seen the Draven with over 250, maybe 400 stacks on his passive. When he get's a kill he can get as much as 800 gold with this passive. It can happen multiple times in a game. By the end of the game most ADs have 200-300 cs. This would mean that Ashe would have about 600-900 gold. This doesn't sound too bad, but keep in mind that this at the END of the game. Like all champions in this game, she is item dependent, but I think she is more dependent on items due to her lack of abilities; both damage and escape. She needs items to keep up with most other champions. Somehow this bonus gold needs to have more instant gratification like Draven's. A lot of champions now have a utility escape spell on their E, but Ashe is not one of them. I feel like her Hawkshot reveal should somehow help her with that. I'm thinking something like bonus movement speed in the area revealed. Perhaps a dash or teleport towards that direction. The range on Hawkshot would obviously be lower. I'm still not sure if this would be enough because she is squishier than a lot of other champions and everyone has a leap or two in their kit, not including flash (Vi).
Her ultimate is the most reliable ability she has and really defines her and makes her a unique champion. There are no other ADs that can initiate and this is what makes her relevant in the game if at all. It doesn't require much change. Her W could use a little tweaking as of now, but maybe with some changes that I mentioned above it might now. I definitely feel like she is the worst AD champion in the game, but I do like her. She requires a really good team with a lot of peel to keep her alive. By late game her team fight isn't that strong because she herself gets zoned out by fighers and tanks, and her kit and items are not capable of fighting them off; only staying alive if they can't use their dashes to catch her. I've had some good games and some bad games with her, but those good games could have been a lot easier if she had an up to date kit.
Sorry if you saw this thread on the Skins and Champion Concepts board. I didn't realize they would take it down and they told me it was in the wrong board. I'm pretty sure this is the right one.
and of course
delete her kill potential.
All shes worth is her ultimate.
Imo they should REMOVE the double crit on yasuo and give it to her,also make her E a short ranged jump that can cross walls. Ashe is now bannable. ok maybe not the gap closer,but that E is sorta useless.
Riot rework pleeeeeeeeeeeease.

NO REFLEXES
Core concepts:
-She slows things. Blah blah Iceborn blah blah Fraiyljhourde, As such:
-She cannot, under any circumstance, have a personal movement speed buff or repositioning ability, unless it has severe repercussions.
-She, unlike Twitch for example, is all about accuracy.
-She is Queen of the Freljord. This is a harsh, sparse land, but royalty has its perks. (That being said, they may not be monetary given the region.)
-She is, because of this, a leader, and all about unity and working together. She's a support-type ADC, a very rare breed perhaps all her own.
-She is seemingly blessed in some way by Avarosa.
-She DOES have a hawk in her lore. I think it's stupid, considering Quinn exists; we'll see if that matters.
