Sorry for the late reply!

Part 1:

I chose to only change the passive and Q because they were the most problematic part of Ashe's kit. If I changed the entire kit it wouldn't feel like Ashe at all.

Also W's CD 'identical' to the current one on live. Also how is a Q cooldown toxic compared to a 'constantly' available slow.

Also how is a 0.5 slow early-game going to prevent all ganks in the world. Morgana's have 3s root, which lategame is 'incredibly' strong and Morgana supports have this maxed 'first'. With this rework it's incredibly unlikely you'll max Q first due to its unreliable damage and the fact it gets interrupted. With this Ashe turns into even more of a midgame/lategame ADC since her Q gets interrupted so easy.

And sorry about that! It's 2 seconds, just like her frostshot on live.

Also you're ignoring the fact that permaslows are still incredibly toxic to gameplay regardless of the kit. That's why Riot are inclined to tweak or change GP's permaslow.

Part 2:

Also the problem with Ashe is that even if you do master her, she still brings so much less to games. If you aimed every single stun sure you'd do well but late-game you'd still get incredibly wrecked due to the sheer lack of damage she does. ><

Also no offense but Ashe is not 1v5 at all... try going to a 1v5 as Ashe and tell me the results please... Lowest DPS in the game, is countered horribly by the gank meta, has no escapes apart from her ultimate. Please tell me more.

Also there seems to be the problem of Ashe apparently helping ganks? Ashe has one of the best ranged initations in the game with her R. Her Q gets blocked by minions and has a 0.5 second snare early game and has only 600 range. I don't see how that's meant to help ganks. Ashe's permaslow helped ganks way more.

Also you gave the scenario of Ashe using her W -> Q -> R to prevent a gank. In that case kudos to the jungler! He removed Ashe's ultimate and got rid of 240 mana which Ashe is unlikely to ever get back in the laning phase.

Hopefully this answered some of your questions and didn't offend you. Thanks for reading this post!
