User blog comment:Contractas1/Ashe - The most ignored concept of a carry?/@comment-24124171-20140108032252

I think Ashe is incredible, but I don't agree that utilizing her as a freefarming late game carry is the right way to go. I like to rush Bloodthirster for lane dominance and it boosts her Volley poke the most. I think Ashe can have a strong lane as long as you use your Volley and 600 Range right. With a good support you can easily start zoning the enemy carry with solid harass. Basically sort of play her like a Caitlyn. Obviously against someone like Draven this is riskier but Jinx and Sivir should generally have a hard time against Ashe's range. If you can get ahead in lane, it means you can hit 6 first and go for a kill with Arrow (Jinx is my favorite target because she has no way of dodging it). People underestimate just how much raw damage Ashe's ult puts out and it gives her a huge powerspike relative to other AD carries at six. Her ult outdamages alot of AP mid ults and it gives a great stun that allows you to chain cc with your support and get a kill. With Bloodthirster and Statikk Shiv Ashe is ready to carry into the mid game with good burst with Focus and Volley and by setting up picks with Arrow you can get objectives easily. Hawkshot is amazing for objective control as well. After the BT+SS powerspike Ashe's damage starts to go down if she does not snowball but Ashe is one of the best mid game carries for objective control and her teamfighting/cleanup is solid. "All the world on one arrow" is a very good quote that pretty much sums up the reason why Ashe is good.
