I agree, Ashe does need to be reworked a bit. But only a little. I think most of her kit is great. A togglable slow from your auto-attacks? Great! An AoE with great range and decent damage? Spiffy! Bonus gold as an ability passive, with an active to scout large areas? Fantastic! A giant friggin' arrow with an ungodly amount of CC? AMAZING!

The reason her Volley is the only thing with an AD scaling is simple: it's one of two damage spells she has. Her Q is a slow, and that SHOULD NOT modify her AA in any other way. Her E is used to check for ganks or to get vision of objectives, plus the passive gold is great. If they added an AD ratio to her ult... It would have to be a really low ratio, since it is already a very strong spell.

I think the big issue I have with her is she basically has no passive. Completely useless mid-late game. Only thing it is good for is a single strong AA of poke if you were coming back from base or roaming between lanes. Maybe if she got a certain amount per AA landed, or a lower amount per second while in combat? I think her kit is fairly balanced as is, just needs to be touched up a bit.

Then again, I'm a Silver V who is too scared to play ranked. What do I know? :P
