I suggest that Riot increase Ashe's place on their difficulty scale. While it's true that Ashe is good for beginners with her high range and extra gold from her E passive (which can make her very forgiving and rewarding when learning), her high utility-low damage skill set requires a high level of skill to utilize effectively. You must scout with E. You must try to both harass AND kill minions with every use of W during laning. You must play passive to store Focus and use it effectively when full. You must turn on Q when engaging an enemy champion and off when farming. You must decide whether to save your R for sniping or for initiation, and must be good/lucky with the shot or it will be wasted from long range, where it is most effective (but too far for Ashe to get much use out of other than the approach and a single AA). She must be well coordinated with her team or she gets taken advantage of early and falls steeply off late. I'm not asking you to change anything about her kit, just accept the fact that she is much harder to master than her being a beginner champ would suggest.
