In this guide I'll try my hardest to explain everything I do and why I do it with Ashe, The Frost Queen

I prefer going 21/9/0 as opposed to some who might go 21/0/9, I do this to increase not only Ashe's excellent early game but I also take 9 points into defense to help since she doesn't have a very good way of escaping except for her ultimate and frost shot/volley, While it's true if your REALLY good at Kiting you CAN get away from most ganks, I find often that a REALLY good gank is impossible to get away from without some extra help

I try to increase her early game potential even more by taking 9 ArP marks 9 flat ad seals/glyphs and help her in all stages of theg ame with 3 Movement speed quint's, The movement speed isn't really all that needed in the laning phase unless your getting ganked or are coming back to the lane after going back to buy and/or heal and your trying to get back to lane fast so you don't miss a minion wave or two, It's main reason that I do it is to help mid to late game as it's an extra 1.5% movement speed and Ashe is really slow until you get a Phantom Dancer or two

While out of combat, Ashe's critical strike chance increases by 3/6/9/12/15/18% every 3 seconds, removed after next attack. Focus will now display a buff showing how much extra crit chance Ashe has

Fires a large arrow in a straight line. If it hits an enemy champion, it will stun that champion for up to 3.5 seconds, based on the distance the arrow traveled, and deal 250 / 425 / 600 (+100% of ability power) magic damage. Additionally, surrounding units take half the damage and are slowed for 3 seconds.

Cooldown 100/90/80 seconds
Cost 150 mana
Range 20000

For item's I try to get Berserker Greaves, Infinity Edge then Phantom Dancer and I try to get them ASAP, After that it's mostly situational, If the enemy team is focusing you a lot with a mixture of Magic and Physical Damage try getting a Warmogs, Atma's impailer and then Banshee's Veil, If your being focused by a lot of Magic Damage get Banshee's Veil, Force of Nature and maw of malmortius, If it's heavy Physical Damage then go for Warmogs, Atma's and Thornmail, If your not being focused at all[Which is unlikely] then go 2 more Phatom Dancers and a Blood Thirster

All in all Ashe is an extremely good AD Carry though it's easy to shut her down early game so be careful, However if she's allowed to free farm and/or get kills early then she tends to snowball very hard. Good counters to her are people like Vayne, Kog'Maw and Corki
