User blog comment:Zeowolf0/Champion Appreciation Week - Ashe/@comment-9713132-20121127100027

Among my friends there is some sort of 'nooby' hatred towards Ashe. Why?

She's a 260 RP / 450 IP champion, she's a 'Recommended' champion, she's the character used in the Tutorial as well as one of the three champions for Battle Training.

Honestly though, she is actually hard to master. For some it's a simple method of spamming W and R when it comes off cooldown. For others the angle of W, where to use E, when to apply Q and even if you use R at all in most engagements - really, Ashe is the most balanced, yet most underrated champion in this game.
