While I like many of the ideas you're saying, and agree that OP can stand for oppressive rather than overpowered, I have to disagree with the opinion of having a constant slow...the problem is that despite having a rocky lane phase, Ashe's permaslow makes it impossible if things go south....While I agree that it should be used to make people blow their flash/dash/windwall, the problem is it becomes too oppressive on those which DO NOT have such an escape....in fact, because the slow is for 2 secs, even by midgame, a flash may not be enough to get out of her zone, especially if the victim is a melee rather than ranged...

While I agree that Ashe needs something to make up for her lack of mobility, a permaslow isn't really it....I'd say probably the safest permaslow might be Olaf or Gnar, (The permslow part, not the character themelves...their power or viability is always up for debate) in that they have to pick up their axe/boomerang and consistently land it for the slow....one mistake on their part i.e. overthrow, miss one, you move in another direction from where the axe is, and it's gone....Even Skarner's was a little better since it was a melee and he had to stick to the target i.e. if the target decided to fight back, he was close enough for even a melee to start brawling....Ashe's slow, unfortunately, does not have such a problem...along with that, the fact that she is ranged while wielding a permaslow, presents a situation from which she can safely kite and harass anyone with no ranged or mobility capabilities....hence the permaslow needs to go, in my opinion....
