I posted a rework concept for Ashe on my blog (which you commented on), so I might be pretty biased in criticizing this Ashe rework, but basically my main goal was to make her laning phase more interactive and turn her Q permaslow, which we both agree is unhealthy, into something more concentrated and interactive.

I wouldn't really try making AP Ashe viable (there's not much of a difference between the two playstyles in either case, including in the rework you're proposing), but I would definitely implement more CC across her kit, at the cost of some of the other stuff you gave her. For example, instead of having the third Q shatter, you could instead have it root the first target hit, or apply Iceborn's Blessing's slow in a small AoE around the target (plus the target itself). I would also find ways to implement more immediate CC, since the crowd control you implemented takes a long time to activate. The true ice movement/turn rate slow looks really nice, and you could definitely keep it, but I'd scrap the whole on-hit damage passive, since Ashe isn't really about using steroids or passively dealing more damage.

The enemy-mark mechanic you gave her E is really cool, but I wouldn't make it give Ashe movement speed, since she's meant to always be really, really slow. One thing you could do to give it an extra bonus would be to have the hawk freeze a medium area around it upon exploding, applying the True Ice slow persistently over a kind of ice rink. An idea I had in my rework was to give Ashe the power to "shatter" chilled enemies with her autoattacks, dealing bonus damage. If you want Ashe to deal a bit more damage and/or have a viable AP playstyle, perhaps you could replace her E passive (which isn't very interesting) into an effect like that, instead of your current on-hit damage. With a slow on her E active, it would synergize with both itself and the rest of her kit (including her ult).
