User blog comment:Contractas1/Ashe - The most ignored concept of a carry?/@comment-5514182-20140108030948

problem is that she doesn't have a point in a match when she's "strong". If she's maxing, she won't get the early damage boost from. However, she doesn't have the steroids/abilities to evolve into a Lategame carry either.

Say you're maxing  and you've accrued a hefty 300 cs by 30 minutes. +5 gold per cs would equate to 1500 gold. Your gold gain roughy matchs worth of gold. Ashe can't use that gold as effeciently as say, a, who's , , and all scale in damage with AD. Ashe only gains damage to her autoattacks.
