I'm going to be blunt here, but using numerical analysis only to justify certain claims or statements is a horrible oversight. There's more to the game than numbers only. I mean duh the difference in late game DPS between ADC Ahri and Caitlyn isn't that large, but there's much more to the game than that. You just can't claim that "Ahri is quite possibly a better ADC than Kalista right now".
As I said above, you're right, I was jokingly exaggerating. I am definitely not encouraging people to use Ahri as an ADC, and I personally have no intent to do it outside of normals with friends. My point is just that it shouldn't be that surprising that these builds don't totally tank: yes, you're at a disadvantage, but that disadvantage is small enough that if you're a little more competent than your opponent, you can still win.

Congrats DillButt64! I'm still working on getting Gold, so I know the struggle.
Nemesis Mode is the best game mode IMO. Happy to see it being released again.
Thanks to MissMaw for the sig!
Sticks and stones may break my bones, b*tch you can't phase me.

Instead I just did the whole computation for Ashe and yeah, if she attacks a slowed target with her Q active, she deals a lot more damage. I have to say, I never appreciated quite how powerful her passive is.
EDIT: Alright, I won't be lazy. A headshot on every 6th shot would give an extra 125% AD damage per 6 shots but can't crit. That comes out to an extra DPS of 102.
So if we include headshots, Caitlyn does come out on top (which is a relief tbh, I would be worried if she didn't...) but the difference isn't all that large. You can argue about their abilities' and ranges' relative utilities I suppose, but even so, I don't think the difference would be overwhelming. So yes, Caitlyn has better DPS, but the difference between late game Ashe and Caitlyn is much larger than the difference between Caitlyn and Ahri.
