Is Infinity Edge worth it on Ashe?

I mean, I get that it gives crit chance for her passive, as well as 80 AD, but the main thing about it is the 250% damage on crits rather than 200%, and because Ashe doesn't crit anymore, is the 20% crit and the 80 AD still make the IE worth it over something like a Blood Thirster or a Statikk Shiv?

item 3031 is actually the most cost-efficient item on Ashe. The passive on it multiplies the bonus crit damage on her passive by 1.5.

lol please, watch riots recommended build. do there eve recommended is utterly trash. they always have right about adc cause you should always buy IE ph/shiv Lw Bt/botrk on all adc. some build triforce, some build ghost blade. but just build IE please will make your life so much easier. have you ever seen bt rush ez? man its worse then ad nami. zero damage

Now that I look at the math on wikia. Hmmm. critical strike is worst on ashe once she reach 100 AD. And she reach 100 AD alone at level 18 so...

And CS cost more gold then AD on low level so, CS on ashe seems like a trap to me now.

It is extremely worth it. What stat does it not have that she doesn't want? The bonus crit damage multiplies the crit damage bonus on her passive if that is why you were questioning it. But either way, you should still have a lifesteal item on her. May I see an example of what build you are using on her at the moment?

Ok, Let's say Ashe's passive and some build looks like this 110% + (110%). That means every one of her attacks after her first attack on a target deals 220% of her AD has physical damage before armor. The more AD you have, the more damage it equals. 220% is equivalent to multiplying Ashe's AD Value by 2.2. Let's say that Ashe has 300 attack damage. 2.2*300=660. The damage her crit deals essentially builds off of her crit chance and her AD.

Keep in mind that Ashe's damage on slowed targets still scales with critical strike chance and critical damage, so she still gets really good damage out of Infinity Edge.

I would argue that she spikes harder than any other ADC off of IE because she's the only one that can use its effect consistently. On other ADCs, the item isn't nearly as reliable because the chance to crit is random, but Ashe can reliably crit, so she would scale better off of it.
