I don't completely agree on what toxic means: not that you are te best and only choice for a role, but that their game breaks the high-risk-high-reward (and vice-versa) rule. Not by just being OP strong, but also by being unaffected by gameplay. If I pick Morde there is no way I can fight a Nidalee (pre) or ashe. I can get some MS and slow (rilay, twin shadow), but I still cannot fight them. In that game they will look OP.

If I take some assassin-bruiser-with-gapcolser ecc, I can counter you so hard you won't even have fun playing. That is toxic. And permaslows are toxic. They are not a priority because they are UP in ranked and draft games, but in normal, where you don't counterpick, they can be hell.

Ashe's passive, on the other hand, is just too situational. Can get you FB or be useless the whole game... I would give Ashe a really small slow on-hit, that increases up to a snare after a few hits. Or even no slow at all before the snare. She could have that as her passive instead of Q and get her something like increased range/crit-chance/damage/MS/Vision/AS on a chosen target for a few seconds.
