Talk:Ashe/@comment-25223119-20150523200254

All the talk about Reworked Ashe and Runaan's Hurricane got me extremely excited intially, but it left me rather disappointed at the end of one of my games yesterday. I've been playing for a substantial amount of games now, and post-rework, she's the only other ADC that I sort of put Runaan's on aside from Kalista.

I suppose for a traditional utility ADC, Ashe still requires AS/Crit item like Shiv or PD to carry well. But I like the idea of proc-ing multiple slows on enemy champions through Runaan's and the fact that it is multi-target centric, it means that Ashe will be damaging 3 people per attack instead of your usual one person. And since new Ashe gets more damage from higher crit chance, I suppose PD is even more important on her, but I never thought it would never go the point wherein one wrong itemization could impact her status as an AD carry.

Post rework, I've been trying out builds like..

IE

Berserker's Greaves

Runaan

Black Cleaver/Last Whisper

BT

Mercurial/PD

I realized despite all the talks about how BC may be viable on her too, Last Whisper seems to be the better choice for its upfront armor pen. BC might give her an edge in repositioning but since Ashe kites so well already, she probably needs more raw damage. I guess it's time for me to go back to getting PD as third item on Ashe. It sucks though, I like Runaan's so much more. She's allowed to clear things more efficiently without resorting to her W. I don't like Shiv and usually go for PD.

If only Runaan was allowed to be a bit better. Sad that the only AD champion that uses Runaan to full efficiency is Kalista. She has enough damage to forego crit for mid game and enough safety to deal incredibly high sustained AD.
