Ashe vs Ezreal

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Ezreal's last-hit attempts outside minion cover with slows and autos.
Ashe wins short trades by zoning with (W) slows and extended trades if (R) or support can convert picks.
Keep the wave near midline to deny Ezreal safe (Q) poke angles and force him to use (E) defensively.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and (W) Ezreal during his last-hit animations on melee or cannon minions if support threat is low.
Avoid trading when (E) is available, as he can dodge slows and reposition for counterpoke.
Use (W) to slow Ezreal before he can use (E), then follow with autos to maximize damage and kite potential.

Danger windows

Ezreal is most dangerous when (E) is up, allowing him to dodge slows and reposition for poke or escape.
Avoid stepping forward when enemy support controls brush or zone, as Ezreal can combo (Q) poke with support follow-up.
Be cautious during Ezreal's item spikes when his repeated (Q) poke can soften you before all-ins.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold the wave just outside Ezreal's tower range, limiting his safe farm.
Punish Ezreal's caster minion last hits when he steps up, only if enemy support can't immediately retaliate.
Position with support beside or slightly ahead to chain slows and threaten (R) picks at level 6.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling Ashe to start fights with long-range picks if support or jungle can follow.
First completed marksman item boosts Ashe's sustained slow pressure, allowing safer extended trades.
Two-item power spike strengthens utility DPS, making it harder for Ezreal to engage without risk.

Win conditions

Convert slowed autos and (W) poke into CS leads by punishing Ezreal's exposed last-hit attempts.
Use (R) pick threat to force Ezreal under tower and secure plates or dragon vision with support.
Maintain lane control to reach item spikes safely and leverage Ashe's utility DPS in front-to-back teamfights.
