@ ArtMaster7: Ashe is far different from your concept and, most importantly, her kit possess a clear identity, which distinguish her from other ADCs.

She's so far one of the only two utility-based ADCs in the game, with the second one be Kalista. She has far more gameplay around her kit than this concept --even if it's seen as few or doesn't involve great damage numbers, because that's the point of having far more utility than the average ADCs, along with Kalista -- rather than just focusing the entire kit on empowering a single ability.
