Overwatch 2 - Ashe Hero Guide

gamespot.com:

Ashe is back in Overwatch 2 with hardly any alterations from her gunslinging, B.O.B. throwing self in Blizzard’s original FPS game. While she may be essentially the same Ashe as before, that’s not really a bad thing. Ashe is a strong ranged hero capable of keeping enemies at bay and harassing foes with her trusty robotic butler B.O.B., even if she may not be quite as strong as some DPS heroes.

Ashe is a long-range support DPS who wields a devastatingly powerful rifle and can hurl explosives at her foes or surprise them with a close-range blast to get away. Ashe works best at mid- and long-range, where her rifle blasts deal a respectable amount of damage on their own--and even more if you use her built-in scope. Reloading Ashe’s shotgun takes a few seconds, but you can create a cover blast using her dynamite ability to keep foes busy. Just make sure your allies aren’t nearby when it explodes, or it’ll set them on fire--not the best way to earn commendations.

Ashe lacks strong mobility skills, and that, combined with a slow rate of fire and reload times, means she suffers in close-range combat. Make sure to keep Ashe just behind the frontlines, where she can safely support your team’s main DPS or tank.

Ashe’s Viper fires 12 rounds, but slow reload times make aiming carefully more important than usual. The ideal way to use Viper is with its ADS feature activated, since each shot deals more damage and you have better control over where they land.

The problem is one of power.
