 * There are a few issues I take with this
 * Ashe's current playstyle does have a few problems (her Q permaslow, as you mentioned), but otherwise the way she plays is really fun. Her W poke is satisfying both in combat and when farming, and her ultimate is both extremely simple and incredibly fun when you make clutch stun plays. You basically gave Ashe a completely different kit, save for most of her E.
 * On top of this, there are a lot of things you're giving Ashe that she doesn't really need, to the detriment of features that are core to her: you're giving Ashe mobility on her E (even if it's difficult to obtain) and additional damage, neither of which she needs, but also severely reduced her crowd control by turning her on-hit and AoE slow into a one-time, single-target slow that can't be applied instantly and has a large per-target cooldown. You need to prioritize her CC and utility above all, even if it means keeping her current terrible mobility and damage output.
 * Some of the stuff you added looks a mite complicated, and for no real reason: why is her ult a steroid now? Why does she have to fire an Enchanted Crystal Arrow with her Q and not her ult? Why is her Q a single-target skillshot if it's just there to deal extra damage? Why does Ashe have or need an autoattack steroid?

While you have some good ideas (I like the idea of getting a reward for scouting targets with Hawkshot), you've turned Ashe into a completely different champion when most of her current kit is pretty healthy and fun, adding lots of features and mechanics that she doesn't need and that detract from her core playstyle as a CC/utility-heavy playmaker. I'd scrap most of her damage enhancers and conditional mobility, and focus on focusing as much of her power as you can on crowd control and utility while trying to remain as simple as you can: Ashe is meant to be a champion with very simple mechanics and whose difficulty comes from positioning properly and making the right plays with her abilities.
