I like the Ashe changes, but the Q...
EDIT: I've better explained myself in a response to RiotRepertoir. I apologize if my initial thoughts in the following post were jumbled, please look below to my response for more logically laid out statements. <3
First and foremost, I like Ashe. A lot. Well not a lot, anymore, after all the thematic/back story changes she became less and less appealing to me, but damn I still love a good Ashe game. Since I've started playing in S2, I have played what has got to be over 6000 games with just Ashe (over 2 accounts, not in ranked SORRY). She is still what I consider my best champion and play her when I know I won't get kicked/dodged on for picking her.
I like the changes, a lot! But i have a few concerns. First and foremost, her passive. The auto attacks always slow? And what's more, it applies extra damage based on how much she's raised her crit chance? Doesn't this just sound like Draven all over again? I get mechanically it is different, but it is going to cause the same issues as Draven's old passive until it is nerfed into the ground or changed...wont it?
Secondly, her Q. It's cool. It is shiny. It shoots lots of things. But I do feel like the skill needs some polishing. What is it for in regards to her kit? What about this whole stacking thing? The stacking mini game for extra effect seems kind of frivolous, and I can already see it getting nerfed into uselessness until we repeat with another rework on her Q.
I like the changes on E, however I liked the ability to sit back and farm until I ended up a few items ahead for being able to play safe and avoid aggression. I guess what we're saying here is that we're taking away from her own power and giving it to her team (which should come back around to her anyway).
The R is unchanged. Still cool. I still like to pretend I'm Jinx. Pew.
Lastly, and slightly unrelated, can we please -still- change back Ashe's voice to the recording prior to the most recent? I get the changes you were trying to make to her thematically, but I can't keep doing this annoying, immature, teenage girl thing. She is a Queen, not a brat. If not, someone explain to me how to replace the file on my own ]:

PS: this is just my two cents/initial feedback. I don't usually do this kind of post, or any kind of post, but I felt like I needed to say something about my favorite champion, even if it was short and unimportant. <3
