While Volley makes sense it's also not a huge fact in her damage, especially since each arrow can only hit the same target once, but multiple can strike the same target. Ranger's Focus I feel is the right way to go for the cooldown, hampering Ashe's uptime a bit on it.

To explain why this is actually a decent nerf: Using the following build (Which is pretty good for most situations):

Items: Berserker's Greaves, Runaan's Hurricane, Phantom Dancer, Infinity Edge, Essence Reaver, Mercurial Scimitar.

Runes: Flat AD Marks, Flat Armor Seals, Scaling MR Glyphs, Attack Speed Quints.

Masteries: 18/12/0, using Double Edged Sword, Vampirism, Oppressor, and Fervor of Battle on Offense.

With this full build Ashe at level 18 has:

214 Bonus AD (70+70+65+8.5),

194.1% Bonus attack speed (45+40+17.5+35+56.6). Note: THis is 234.1% with Ranger's Focus

100% crit (20+20+30+30)

50% critical hit modifier (IE passive)

With these bonuses, Ashe has:

309 AD,

1.935 AS (2.198 with Ranger's Focus)

100% Crit

50% Crit modifier.

With these kind's of stats, it would take Ashe 2 seconds to charge her Focus to use Ranger's Focus. From there a single flurry from her will deal (309*1.35) + 10 = 427 Damage in a single shot, 114 to secondary targets from Hurricane. This is not counting the 14-112 bonus damage from Fervor or a slow. With Slows, Ashe will hammer out a bonus 160% AD, dealing 1085 Physical damage per auto (271 to nearby slowed targets) to slowed targets before mitigations. Over the course of 5 seconds, Ashe would be able to auto about 10-11 times (2.198*5 = 10.99). Assuming the right conditions Ashe would be able to deal well over 8k damage in the course of one Ranger's Focus, which again as stated will only have a 2 second downtime in a fight. A second getting shaved off for Ashe will drop the number of shots she can do to 8 with this kind of build, and 10 max with max attack speed.

I personally don't see this nerf effecting Ashe too much. Her passive requirements for Ranger's Focus make a duration debuff of 1 second almost trivial. If they imposed a hard CD on her where she couldn't generate focus after using Ranger's Focus, then you'd have a much much more substantial nerf to her, but until then, this is not going to do much imho.
