He can carry, but not as a pure AD carry, he's an on-hit carry.

Start with straight AD for good last-hitting, poking, and lifesteal (Blade of the Ruined King, Bloodthirster). While you farm souls. Then grab on-hit + attack speed instead of crit (malady, wit's end, hurricane).

With 150 souls, you will do ~400 magic+400physical DPS, compaired to ~1000 DPS on a fully built ashe. But you hit more targets, deal mixed damage, your first shot adds a good 450 extra damage. You get much better wave pushing, but much worse tower killing. All in all, it's a reasonable match up.

Just make sure you have allies to support you, as you'll be very squishy and your range is lower. Your own CC won't cut it.
