Ash is popular for the Bladestorm alone? lol. Maybe in the noob circles. But the word says it itself, noobs. They likely play in an annoying manner no matter which frame they get their hands on.

Ash afer 1000+ hrs is my main. And not for bladestorm. As a matter of fact, normal players use bladestorm as least as possible because it really gets in the way of the fun while you wait for the animation to finish. Even using it once here and there becomes a little lengthy (sometimes).

Ash is hardly popular for the BS. He is popular because he is awesome. Simple.

I love my Melee only build with him.

Smoke Screen to stun enemies and stealth around (I like my stealth missions too)

Shuriken for cameras, drones, quick hard to hit with melee kills.

And teleport all day long. Best utility skill ever for a melee character. I am vanishing manually back and forth in the field taking down enemies with melee combat closing my distance each time with a new teleport.

Hardly a noob way to play. Meanwhile, there is hardly any other Frame that gives you this kind of gameplay in the entire game. And that is why for many of us Ash is popular.
