I really enjoy playing Ashe,

She is not a beginner's champion, that is a trap. Don't be fooled.

She's got an important learning curve, which is learning how to kite.

Newbies don't know how to do that yet.

She's kind of difficult to play effectively, and as she does not have any hard cc apart from her ult, nor any forms of mobility or speed ups, mistakes on Ashe mean death.

Her ult's stun isn't too effective when it comes to peeling off a Kha'Zix either, since they'll already be too close, and the stun duration won't last long enough. So she is not a safe or forgiving champion. Hence why you pair her with a Thresh or something with a lot of peel, like a Rakan too.

Her early game laning phase sucks as W doesn't have that much damage yet, her autos are very slow, and the constant switch of empowered damage and normal damage can throw off farm.

Q is also difficult to work with as you need 4 autos to ramp it up, and it's worse early game.

But once you got your Runaan's? Machine gun Ashe, amazing outplay, I just stood there and auto'd a Vayne to death.

W is a fun one, very simple ability. Just gotta pay attention to positioning,

Early game isn't too good spamming it, as it costs a lot of mana and just doesn't have the amazing damage poke yet.

There's also the fact that her ability to farm ain't the greatest as it's possible for one minion to face-tank the entire volley meant for the backline.

Getting pushed in ain't a good idea, as it leaves you exposed under tower for anything like a Lux Q to hit. And as we all know, only death cancels a Lux ult.

So when to return aggression with Q is important.

Trust me, the 115% damage increase is stupidly good for trading. Especially when you're not being focused. This will force your laner to back, and you can keep the wave back in the middle.
