Ashe is great at playing the range game very early. She's no Cait, but she's still very strong at it. Throw some MS on her very early, the points in tier-1 utility masteries as well as a couple quints, really help ease the difficulty of playing this game. A great thing to couple with this is a rather high damage support, her ult is a huge spike in her lane presence, and it makes her one of the very few carries that can initiate on her own.

I know I'm the odd man out here, but my Ashe build is generally BotRK, IE, Triforce, LW, boots, defensive item. I know it sounds weird, but I mainly play Ashe for kiting potential, not outright damage. I generally only play her when I know the damage I'm missing is being made up for in another role, like support Annie or jungle Pantheon.

Tip: Ashe is one of the few champions that can quick-cancel a casting animation by issuing a move or attack command right after using W.
