Pro Commentary
Pros and Cons
Pros
One of the strongest champions at level one with her built-in auto crit and damage from her W.
Farms easily with W and her passive extra gold from her E.
Can scout the map with Hawkshot.
One of the best initiations in the game that can also be used to help out other lanes globally with her ultimate.
Great burst level 1 if you can get your volley + auto attack crit off
Cons
Low movement speed and mobility, no escapes.
Low base stats which makes her very squishy.
No built in "steroid" ability to improve her auto attack DPS.
With gold masteries/runes, a maxed e, and a kage's and/or avarice blade, by 30 min, you'll end up having ~4000g. Just by doing nothing. Allows her to get the rest of her build up rather quickly. Just for info. Howver, it's best done with a good support. Thresh is a good one.
Buying all of that equipment will really screw you over early game. First of all, Kage's lucky pick is AP, so NO. Avarice Blade is fine though. Maxing E first? I don't think a good support is enough. You need a second AD carry just to keep your lane intact. In fact, maxing your E first makes you into the support. Sacrificing armor seals for gold seals will make you extremely squishy to anything that deals heavy physical damage, a category which includes every single AD carry, who also happen to be a lane opponent. As for gold quintessences, I can't really judge, but I would think gold quintessences are meant for supports not AD carries. Ashe already has early game issues, you don't need any more
With my Ashe build i like to go Doran's blade first if you duo quo with a good support that can heal you then go back and get avarice blade once i have enough to get it and if my lane is in a good position once i get that i start to my mid game build and so on. But if i and solo quo and my support has no heal i go boots of speed and 3 heal potions and so on. But for my skills i go W+E+Q+E+W+R then work on making my W and my E as i level up then at my q at the end.
I really think you should rush a Zeal early...because even if you don't have a vamp scep, with that extra AS and MS, you can continuously use your frost arrows to slow down any enemy chasing you, along with your volley, and since she has decent range with her volley, you can keep them in range with volley, and then catch up, and keep hitting them with frost arrows, its perfect for getting away, AND chasing.
You have an escape in the form of a global stun/AOE slow (this is one of the few escapes that can successfully escape Karthus at low health provided you know his location) a second AOE slow, and slowing autoattacks. Because of ashe's range, you can keep some ranged champions at bay as effectively as you can melee champions
Yep that's pretty much what I said...minus the ult part, I agree that it is a very effective way of escape, though it had a 100 second cooldown, and I like to try and save it for chasing rather than escaping if I can, though its probably one of the most effective ways to escape with Ashe.
This is my build for Ashe and it works great Long Sword - x2 HPPots Vampyric Scepter - Boots BF Sword Berserkers Greaves Recurve Bow Bloodthirster x2 Daggers Runaan's Hurricane Build into Infinity Edge Phantom Dancer
Ok, I just have to ask this. Zephyr on Ashe for last item? It has everything she needs and i'm curious if it is any good on her.
-More AD
-More AS
-MS (She lacks an escape and is one of the best kiters in the game this would be REALLY nice)
-CDR (For her ult which means more initiates or chasing runners, and your hawk on lower CD)
-Tenacity (Being she lacks an escape yet again this seems like it would help if even a little)
Well those are the reasons that I ask, now correct me if I am wrong but those raw stats seem pretty good. Viable? In my mind yes at least. Thoughts as to why or why not?
