ASHE HERO COUNTERS
Ashe punishes teams that stand in the open at mid-to-long range. The Viper scoped shots hit for 75 damage and Dynamite burns through grouped targets. Counter her by diving past Coach Gun range or by out-sniping her with Widowmaker, who wins the scope duel every time. B.O.B. is strong but killable. Treat him like a seventh player and focus him down or sleep him.
Ashe's top counters are Domina, Doomfist, and Kiriko.

DoomfistFAQ
Domina and Doomfist both dive Ashe before she can get value from range. Domina's Crystal Charge closes the gap through Coach Gun knockback, and barrier segments block Viper shots. Doomfist combos her in one slam sequence. Widowmaker out-duels her at every range because Widow one-shots where Ashe needs two hits.
Ashe sits at A Tier right now with a 50.6% win rate and 12.0% pick rate across all ranks. Strong meta pick. Expect to see Ashe in most matches.
Close the distance. Ashe's damage drops off dramatically up close because The Viper has slow fire rate at hip level. Force Coach Gun early and she's got no escape for 10 seconds. Flanking from behind is ideal since her ADS limits peripheral vision.
Slow unscoped fire rate and no real close-range answer once Coach Gun is on cooldown. Ashe also has 200 HP with no armor or shields, so any burst damage kills her before she can scope in. Dynamite can damage herself too if she's not careful with placement.
Domina walls off Ashe sightlines with Barrier Array and closes the gap with Crystal Charge. Doomfist Seismic Slam reaches her perch spots and his combo kills 200 HP targets clean. D.Va Defense Matrix eats scoped shots and Micro Missiles pressure her off high ground.
Widowmaker wins the sniper duel. Widow one-shots at 300 headshot damage versus Ashe's 150. Genji Deflect sends Viper shots back and Swift Strike closes on her position. Venture Burrow dodges Dynamite entirely and Drill Dash burst catches her off guard.
Kiriko Protection Suzu cleanses Dynamite burn on the whole team, removing Ashe's best source of area damage. Lucio Speed Boost lets your team close distance past Viper range quickly.
