Buying IE or ER is something that has to do more with play style. IE -> auto attack based (extra damage from passive) and ER -> ability/ultimate dependent (extra cooldown reduction). Both are fine.

However, you cannot get crit from runes. My question is what is wrong with my rune choices because that was the topic in the first place.

What do you mean with CS? If you mean that she needs to farm, then I can say that you get almost as much attack speed from the current rune system (18% attack speed bonus) as in the old system (13.5% quintessences + ~3% glypghs (optional) + 4% masteries = ~20.5%).

The thing is you shouldn't 1 vs. 1 the other adc most of the time because you should focus more on objectives or team fights. Ashe excels at team fighting, where the extra 12% damage from all resources () benefit a team fight, while her dueling is more average. If you want to duel other champs, I recommend Vayne as she has much more tools to outwit the enemy.

For the choice of keystone, I prefer more damage on her because she has already an attack speed steroid but she cannot crit. I try to balance the champions weaknesses and strengths with my builds. For example, the example build/core has a lot of attack speed but my runes more damage and defensive stuff if you noticed. Furthermore, the other keystone is also fine. In my rune section (it's still pretty much WIP), I said that you have generally two choices per slot. Additionally, it's all very early to determine the best rune yet.

If you need some clarifications or I missed something, feel free to comment again.

So I have to say I really love this guide. This is the first of yours I have seen and I bookmarked it immediately. I normally look at Vapora's guides but this feels just like one and even easier to work out for the Dirt V players like myself. I do have one question though with an item. I see you have Runnan's, which I always build, but you have left out Stattik Shiv. Is it not viable to use on Ashe, or are PD and RF more suitable for the current meta? Thanks for your time and keep up the great work<3

Thanks for the kind words :) I haven't played in a long time unfortunately, so I cannot judge the meta properly. I prefer PD and Runnan's over Shiv because they enhance her strengths (team fighting, (pseudo) AoE slow) and cover up her weaknesses (squishy, slow ms), and I don't see Shiv adding anything more than burst, which she hasn't much compared to other marksmen. Additionally, I always build Runnan's, so I have already enough wave clear. Like somebody said about Shiv: "Everyone figured out that wave clear and pushing is broken." That's why you see, for example, Tristana a lot more than before. However, Ashe doesn't really need it unless the opponent has crazy wave clear. (I talked about this in the FAQ section but I don't know if it's outdated.)

Hey this build is perfect i used to get rekt as ashe but since i saw this i have been playing well got a quadra kill thanks to the armour pen and life steal and everyone on the other team was scared of me a adc in 2k17 hahahahaha. Thank you

adc in 2k17 xd

So, with the reworked doran's shield doing 5 bonus damage towards minions, and the new passive, would you recommend starting with doran's shield or always doran's blade?

(33) |

I would still take doran's blade over doran's shield. Doran's blade has 8 AD which is helpful for last hitting and trading with enemies. Generally, AD and life steal are stats that are always useful on marksmen. Moreover, has a pretty long range and is a lane bully which is why she wouldn't need the defenses unlike short ranged champions like . Doran's shield is good against low poke lanes ( and ) but really bad against burst champions or lots of poke (e.g. ). A weak laner could benefit from the changes but Ashe doesn't need it as much. The only situation I could think of is if bot lane is forced to play farm simulator.
However, the item itself looks overtuned since you get a second pot, health regen and more health regen. Still, I wouldn't recommend it.

I used to love playing Ashe but then I started playing more as Soraka as I felt she fitted my play style more, however after I saw this guide I tried it out and found that it was increadibly fun to play and have started to play more as Ashe. So I just wanted to say thank you jokersprank for letting me play one of my favourite champions again.

Woah nice guide, it is obvious that you have put a lot of effort into this. I love your runes and items section at your guide! Keep your work up, I enjoy playing again (she was my first champ) :P
