Introduction
Hello guys, I'm MisterFirstBlood from EUW and today I'm gonna show you how to play Ashe. To be honest, shes my favourite ADC at the moment and a great choice when blind picking!
Pro's and con's
+ Very nice auto attack animation (in my opinion)
+ A lot of CC.
+ High Range abilities.
+ Global Ult that can either save or enable your teammates
+ You will be useful even when falling behind because of that R ability
+ A Vision Tool.
- No Mobility makes her very easy to gank.
- E doesn't deal any damage
- R scales with AP
- Needs some items to deal a lot of damage. there is no 1 item powerspike imo
- You need 4 stacks to activate Q, until then you only really have your W in a fight until level 6. That can be pretty weak compared to champions like ezreal with 3 damaging abilities. Try to avoid all ins if possible if you cant manage to stack your Q before level 6

Spells
Passive: Frost Shot
Ashe's attacks slow their target, causing her to deal increased damage to these targets. Ashe's critical strikes deal no bonus damage but apply an empowered slow to the target.
Q: Ranger's Focus
Ashe builds up Focus by attacking. At maximum Focus, Ashe can cast Ranger's Focus to consume all stacks of Focus, temporarily increasing her Attack Speed and transforming her basic attack into a powerful flurry attack for the duration.
W: Volley
Ashe fires arrows in a cone for increased damage. Also applies Frost Shot.
E: Hawkshot
Ashe sends her Hawk Spirit on a scouting mission anywhere on the map.
R: Enchanted Crystal Arrow
Ashe fires a missile of ice in a straight line. If the arrow collides with an enemy Champion, it deals damage and stuns the Champion, stunning for longer the farther arrow has traveled. In addition, surrounding enemy units take damage and are slowed.

Items
Attack speed is the stat that you need the most, while Crit Rate still offers a ton of value to your build.
Therefore a combination of Kraken Slayer Infinity Edge and Phantom Dancer will give you a super solid Damage core, well rounded stats (balanced AD, crit, and attack speed]] and Powerspikes whenever you have gold to spend. Blade of the Ruined King offers also a ton of synergy while it doesnt affect your crit rate what makes it hard to fit it in.
Afterwards you can finish your build with items that fit in your current situation either if its more AoE with Runaan's Hurricane, Raw Damage with Infinity Edge or utility like Mercurial Scimitar Guardian Angel or Wit's End.

Runes
The relevant Keystones in Precision tree are Press the Attack, Lethal Tempo and Fleet Footwork.
Press the Attack will apply a debuff to a enemy you attacked 3 times in a row, which increases every incoming damage for some seconds. Additionally it deals a little damage when you trigger it kinda like thunderlord
Lethal Tempo gives you tons of attack speed and allows you to break the 2.5 as cap after attacking a enemy.
Fleet Footwork is like the old warlords bloodlust and gives sustain and movement speed after generating 100 stacks. Sadly it got nerfed over and over again
So I would recommend you to play Lethal Tempo because you really benefit from attacking enemies very often with your slow and hurricane and get your Q up earlier then with Press the Attack.
The highest damage output is still Legend: Alacrity but i highly recommend Legend: Bloodline and Cut Down.
Presence of Mind is way too strong not to use in the current patch so go for it in any case.
My Personal preference for the second tree to go in is Inspiration.
Biscuit Delivery is especially good when you spam your W (it has pretty high mana cost) and Approach Velocity has by far the best synergy with ashes ult so that is definetely a must have!

Tips
- Attacking towers lets you keep your Q stacks ready.
- If you are in a 1v1 situation try to slow your enemy before using ult so it's easier to land. Also try to shoot it in close range so your enemy has less time to react.
- When laning try to combine lasthitting and poke with your W. Use that 1200 Range as your advantage.
- E has a reaaaally high range so when you use it aim for the maximal range to get more vision.
- After you got your essence reaver + first crit item your ult has not that much cooldown anymore so feel free to use it whenever a situation is given. That's the biggest advantage from having an ashe in your team and you should really make a use of it.
- Red buff additionally slows your enemies. When you get a lead your enemies will be in big trouble trying to escape from you.
- Lategame is yours. Don't expect to win a lane hard until minute 15-20. Ashe is very easy to kill and really needs time, so try to play safe, freeze and farm up.
- Do not forget to use your E. If you are part of a kill because your Vision you may get assists for that

Summary
Well as you can see there are a lot of good and bad things about ashe. If you want to learn ADC ashe might be not that bad because everything she really does is auto attacking and you can improve things like kiting, orbwalking and attack move with her. But when it comes to competitive play or high elo rankeds (diamond +) I wouldn't really recommend you to play her at the moment unless she receives a buff.
Thank You!
