Overall summary, your concept could work, but not with those numbers. But let's get to my nitpicks.


 * 1) Your passive is too strong for how little you have to do to acquire it. But this is really depends on how long does the bonus critical chance last (without attacking anything) and how long does it take for the passive to stop stacking when leaving combat? But most likely, way too strong.


 * 1) You undervalue the CC and her utility by a large margin. Ashe is by far the weakest ADC in terms of damage, but she is also by far the strongest in terms of CC. This is my main issue about your rework. Ashe was never designed to be a high damage dealers (compared to ADC). She's gets picked for her utility, not damage. So even if she doesn't possess a lot of damage/steroids, she will be fine. Granted, a small buff in her damage doesn't hurt, but your remake is not a small buff in damage.


 * 1) What is the range of your enemy cast Hawkshot because right now, it's just free damage at semi-global range. Did I also mention it cost nothing to do the free poke. Also, way too much affect is on her E.


 * 1) Another large issue is the lack of any attempt to balance your remake. Believe it or not, Ashe is not a troll pick. She is still pretty strong, so she doesn't require tons of buff to make her viable. Just recently, she had been pick in the LCS so that's a sign that she still has her worth for the best of the best in LoL.

So, if you do plan on adding things to her kit or give her more free damage. Please, at least take some stuff away from her as well.

For example, if Hawkshot is going to get a new damage ability added on, at least remove the either the reveal or passive gold because having all three effect is so much. The same applies to Q and even to the ultimate.

If you are going to give Ashe some AD scaling to her Ultimate, at least nerf the base damage slightly.

So in another summary, you can't just leave her with all her utility and just add tons of damage on her. A lot has to give if you intend to give her a lot of damage.
