Ashe is to weak

I have been playing much Ashe and I do find her way to weak to be really useful.
Her weakness are in general low health. She has only 200 while e.g. reaper has 250 and self healing.
Only 12 bullets in the magazine and very very slow reload speed.
Limited escape abilities , her only escape is the coach gun that doesn’t help much e.g. when it comes to Junk Rats tire or D.va ultimate.

She needs only simple buffs .
Health should be 250
Bullet magazine should have 20 bullets instead of 12.
Coach gun should knock you further away.

Reaper is one of the few dps to have 250hp because he has no range, just like Mei.

Ashe is a mechanically demanding character, if you think she’s weak it’s most likely due to the fact that you can’t play her.

She’s a sniper not a close range dps so just like Widowmaker she has one ability to save herself. If you die to junkrat’s tire of dva bomb, well, just hide.

I mean… it is good to give your opinion on something but, don’t you tink it is better to get to know the game fist?
Many dps can be considered weak, not ashe.

If you have nothing better to say than offending me with childish comments about that I don’t know how to play the hero please don’t comment on my thread.

Get over yourself please, I wasn’t trying to offend you.

No one with a decent aim will tell you that Ashe is weak, just go on twitch and ask streamers in top 500 if you don’t believe me.

I feel she’s strong, I really enjoy playing with her but I find her easier than Mcree, 76, Junkrat, quite a few heroes in terms of damage and eliminations.

Ultimate that takes care of it’s self, fire and forget.
Escape via coach gun
Close range damage tnt/coach
Area denial with tnt and BoB

What doesn’t have? 200 hp seems justified for all the positives.

She is so good and powerful in my opinion.

I have to agree with the above comment. I feel she is at a decent place already. She is more of a technical hero to play but once done right, she’s strong.

Don’t forget BoB. What a legend.

I have a way better proposal. How about not starting noob threads like this asking for buffs of heros you obviously can’t play?

Generally Ashe is pretty strong.

She is a high damage, mid-long ranged dps. You don’t really see more than 200hp on any other character with these qualities.

Her damage per shot can be very punishing for any1 being hit, especially if damage boosted by a mercy, in which case she can 1shot 200hp targets with a headshot. The 12 bullets and long reload is pretty much what makes sure it’s not overpowered.

TNT can deal up to 1050 damage (175 per target hit), which in turn puts a lot of pressure on the enemy healers and give you a ton of ult charge.

Coach gun is not just used to push you back from attackers, but also push them away, which can effectively double the distance put between you. On top of that you can use it simply as a mobility tool to take better positions.

Against junkrat tire, try to get in a position where you will see the tire before it can get close to you and shoot it. It’s very squishy and should be somewhat easily killable before it can reach you then.

Against D.Va bomb, if you die to this, you most likely had poor positioning. Generally you want to always be close to cover.

BOB is like having a 7th player on your team and you control the area you need him to contest. Usually placing him somewhere he will split the enemies attention has been working the best for me.

Also, Flank Ashe is sooo sooo strong. Possibly even to a point i would call it overpowered.

Hit a TNT from behind on their most vulnerable targets and quickly follow up with scoped shots. Even a single bodyshot is enough to finish any 200hp target.
Then just keep shooting them in the back until they turn for you, in which case your team is free to push in from the other side, while you coach gun to a safer position.
Usually at this point it’s just cleanup.

This is something I do all the time when playing Ashe and it keeps working like a charm. Also against GM-T500 players.
(Most important thing is usually to find the right timing for doing this)

Yet another example that endorsement level means nothing.

why would you expect otherwise? People (including me) endorse for XP.

I’m sorry, how is this relevant for the topic?

Why would probably the most powerful DPS at the moment need a buff?

She is already extremely powerful. Her ammo count is fine for mid/long range so is her HP…

Are you trying to play her at short range or something?

Most powerful ? Have you played her ?

Look up win rates and pick rates, Ashe has good stats for both, especially when you look at more skilled players with higher ranking.

Yes, she is extremely powerful.

A better question would be do you know how to play her?
From your comments the answer would appear to be no…

You don’t buff a hero is already top-tier in their category!

Ashe, too weak? LOL

Whatever you’re smoking, I want some.

She has 200hp but no real escape abilities or self healing. If you run out of amo in a combat you are dead.

thats called drawbacks of high damage medium range sniper. All heros have some.

No I don’t know how to play her. Can you teach me ?
