Ashe

Ashe is an AD carry in the adc, and on patch 16.17 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 52.4% win rate, 6.3% pick rate, 74,081 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Ashe is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.

How Ashe wins: landing engage and starting fights on Ashe's terms, and grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Ashe tips the fight. The kit grades 7/10 engage, 7/10 teamfighting, 7/10 siege. Ashe's soft spots are roaming and mobility (2/10, 1/10) — avoid fights that hinge on them.

The most-played core build is Hexoptics C44, Phantom Dancer, Infinity Edge, which holds a 58.5% win rate across 9,507 games this patch. The build above re-optimizes once you lock in the enemy composition.

The matchup to respect is Aurelion Sol, where Ashe sits at just 44.5%, the lane swings the other way into Mel (60.7%), and on the team side, Ashe gains the most from a Teemo (+7.7% pair win rate).
