Riot, if you can somehow update Ashe's base animations, I will buy every skin for her.
See.....I love Ashe...she's my highest mastery champ, and likely will be for a very long time. Once PROJECT Ashe came out, it was an instant buy for me, because that skin is fricken fantastic.
However.....it is so good of a skin, that it has ruined every other Ashe skin for me. Don't get me wrong, Cosmic Queen and Championship Ashe are both gorgeous skins.....my problem with them is that they use Ashe's clunky, rigid, and just downright boring base animations.
PROJECT Ashe ruins every other Ashe skin because her specific animations make her feel like finely-tuned instrument of war......just like the PROJECT line is supposed to feel like. Whereas base Ashe feels like she's never picked up a bow before, and is trying her damndest to fire in a straight line.
What base Ashe needs is to feel as nimble, and quick on her feet as PROJECT Ashe does. Maybe when she runs, have her put her bow around her shoulder like every archer does. When she autos, make it to where she kneels a little bit, as if she's actually lining up her shot.
As for her abilities:
Her Q actually looks great.....don't change that.
I guess her W also looks ok, but could likely use some more arrows on her bow right before she casts it.
Make her actually throw her E, not just gently toss it in front of her.
And her ult is the biggest offender.....because it just uses her auto attack animation. She should kind of reel back at the impact of firing such a powerful arrow, not just gingerly launch it like any other arrow.
I love how some of these skins look on her. I mean, Championship and Cosmic Queen actually make her look like a Queen.....far more than the Queen skin does. I would love to buy them, but I know I would never use them, because I would always default to PROJECT Ashe.
I'm not asking for much......just a little tweaking here and there to make her feel more fluid and nimble.....just like an archer should feel.
). Her gameplay also as others have stated, still pretty ok so far. I think the crit item rework is the main issue right now, and that is already planned for changes.
