with ashe, how do you effectively use e? I find it to be useless because i rarely spot people. what is a good kill combo? I always have a mindset to save my ult because it takes a long time to cooldown. when should i use it? a lot of people get the bf sword to essence reaver. Can I just get ruaans huraccaine and then come back to the reaver? There are many builds for ashe. what should i use? should i go resolve path for mastery or cunning
just find what works for you you'll get the hang of it sooner or later
I think the current build is BORK as with many of the adcs.
With the e, you are mainly using it for vision. Is your jungle going for an invade? Throw an E and give vision. Your later missing and no idea enemy jg? E the drake pit. Liner's being more aggressive than usual and no ward in river? E up the river to check for gank.
Ult. Whenever you want to hard engage. If you have a cc support, either follow up their cc with the ultimate or vice versa. Think you can predict enemy presence? Ultimate to help the other lane engage. (Shameless plug) Two examples.
Also, never get down on yourself for missing a long shot ultimate. Only reason one of the two in the video hit was thanks to Lee Sin. Pros will miss far shots too. They even occasionally miss a point blank. Just try your best, experiment, and practice.
I don't save my ult, a lot of the time it makes for the lane to be a lot easier when you stun em so that your supp can keep them there. especially since it doesn't do much damage. as far as w goes I just shoot it down river ever once in a while to see if we are going to get ganked. as far as combos i r and the auto and when the stun ends i use volley so I can chase them easier with my e. or you could volley first then attack and save the ult if you really need it. (I don't fully remember what move is what, I'm assuming w is the vision and e is the auto Q being volley)
Holy shit e is so useful lol. When pushed up a lane you can send a hawkshot towards the enemy jungle to see if you can spot out the jungler, if you didnt see him that's fine , it lets you know that the jungler isn't there so you can continue to push/be aggresive/etc. Want to check on Baron and Drag? use your e. Too scared to facecheck a bush? use your e. Your e allows you to gain so much vision control its insane lol. A good kill combo is to set up your passive stacks for q and ult whoever, w then start wailing on them with your q. I forget if her q takes 4 or 5 autos to triggger q but you can always suprise your enemy by having one below the required amount to q then do the combo stated above and that gaurantees the q activation because you get the last auto while they are briefly stunned, smarter players will keep track of your q passive and back off when you have all of them ready. Later in the game when you have more attack speed you can have two less autos than required and ult and be able to hit two times in the brief stun. Note: Ashe is a great teamfighter, not the best duelist, highly dependent on ult for duels. Also this combo is for close range only as you probably know . Ashe's ult is a great engage and catch tool but don't over emphasize it, sometimes you will have to make less effective ults in order to peel for yourself, save an ally, across the map epic monster steals, finish a low health target,etc. Not even the best ashe players can make engage and catch ults the whole game, its too unrealistic. Another thing to add, Ashe's cooldown is actually quite nice as it is a shorter cd for an ult than you might think. However if it concerns you that much you can build an essence reaver to reduce the cd of it as this was what she used to buy first earlier in the meta so she could spam arrows. The current Ashe meta build is bork into runanns, but you won't be considered trolling if you go the old bf sword into runanns route, like stated before if you care that much about your ult cd you can go for essence reaver but if you feel you need more damage and/or are confident you don't need the cd reduction/mana restoration go for ie.
Go for the cunning route for multiple reasons:
Hope this helps! -Former Ashe main, Semi-Lucian main, D5 trash
rip clairvoyance lol use her E to locate enemy jungler, like if you see that enemy jungler ganked a lane then disappeared and you know may have an assumption as to which buff they have try to find them at other buff, also try using it on the blue buff/red buff for junglers first round it usually leads to a kill lol
If you dont spot someone, thats good because it means they arent there and youre safe.
Kill combo is to get maximum Q stacks off a minion, then W someone. Then activate Q and auto them twice. Use ult after that, then auto them till they're dead.
