Ashe is classified as a marksman/support. Try to adapt but your build will often turn out nearly the same as some items work better for certain champions, for instance I always build Locket on Taric because of the mr aura. The meta shifts based largely off of balance changes in the game. For example, when tanks are nerfed, assassins tend to come into power. The AD zhonyas has been thrown around, but unlike mages, which trade survivability for damage, AD casters are mostly melee and have ways of surviving. ADCs should have peel from their teams or QSS.
