Ascension you have it now learn to play it....
ModWulf Helhammer43 votesThe more people capturing a relic, the faster you capture it. That's why it's a good idea to get more then just one person on it if you can
kile1472 votesYes so if you need it fast that works, but generally because of how easy it is to interrupt the capture you are better off using one person to cap it while others run interference.
RocketRelm11 votesEeeh. That depends on the type of interference. In particular Jhin nut-checking you from half the map away with W, if you've got 2 people capturing, it barely slows you down. Asshat Shaco needs to actively run up and auto somebody, not just toss a shiv and fuck off with his Q, leaving him (kinda) open to counterattack.
Unpaladin27 votesAscension is a fun game mode.
Goddammit Skar22 votesThere sadly aren't many people who enjoy this gamemode, and despite the fact that I frequently get stomped due to the simple fact that I'm bad, I enjoy it quite a lot, just having a bloody brawl in the middle of an island
But of course, some people prefer otherwise.
Earthlord Jazz3 votesI enjoy playing Ascension (especially with my friends that are new to League) simply because the gold is ALWAYS the same, meaning there's less snowball when we make a mistake (which we do because we're new). The only person you can blame is yourself when you die 15 minutes into the game due to your lack of judgment rather than just pure stat differentiation

That's why I've been going Tear, RoA on my Karthus. If you can't get an advantage in gold or XP, get the best scaling items.
The reason I use Karthus in particular is because of his team fighting. He's really good at harrying the objectives. You can even come back to life from your passive if you secure ascension.
Dr Poro1 votesSince you get a lot of mana regen in this gamemode + health spots that refill your mana, these mana items aren't really that strong. They're still good because they scale, but far from OP.
Hello I am Bird1 votesAnd infinite mana when ascended is really nice imo
kaltenashes1 votesis this a bug, using those 'zombies' passive to kill xerath and revive?
i had a game where we aced enemy team (while fighting xerath at the same time) and 
with his passive killed our last survivor and xerath, he revived from killing xerath

This happened the last time I played Ascension. (Back when Azir was released.) And Kog'maw at that time could do the same.
I'm pretty certain those death passive revives are working as intended. (not to mention, what would happen to the ascension buff if that wasn't the case?)
kaltenashes1 votesyeah, guess you're right, i managed to get it with sion passive lol
The Bearded Bard11 votesThe biggest thing I can think of is capping is worth more than killing. So many times I lose the game because team is more focused on killing than capping.

earlier. I was a titan of death.
Whut Thuh 3 votestwitch is so much fun. first game on ascension with him i stole xerath 3 times and then ran away like "cya nerds" and then i ulted turned around and blasted the living hell out of their whole team
Nyxceris4 votesWouldn't the global vision on the ascended make your sneaky sneaky invalid?
Mhihnj7 votesnot many people seem to realize this. I saw an ascended lux trying to ambush me from a brush. I was like ummm...
Leetri1 votesI had an Ascended Teemo on my team who had put like 20 mushrooms in the same bush he was sitting in. Like, Teemo's mushrooms don't even stack! If someone walks in there it's like he was hit by 1 mushroom, and on top of that everyone can see you just sitting there. He almost cost us the game, because all he ever did in that game was sit in that one bush and try to steal the Ascension.
Amorenkaire6 votesHeofShadow2 votesThis is legitimate if your team is ok. Donger is my favourite on Ascension, his single point presence is insane if the enemy can't clear turrets like they're Aurelion, I've straight up 1 shot several Leblancs and Teemos that walked by botlane for the relic, and proceeded to go for it myself. If you set up all your turrets on their side so that their range covers the choke point to the left or right of the relic, it covers the entire area and you're safe to cap, people have to go through turrets or skillshot you to interrupt. The bonus pen and ap is REALLY strong on the dongs when he has time to set up turrets, the beams do like 800+ damage and the normal attacks shred people. And ult rockets Redbar literally anyone that hasn't stacked FULL mr, it's ridiculous. Veigar is also great, Q passive is free scaling from all the assists. I have yet to get Ascended with him too, and he's OP without it. You can have an all AD team other than you, and singehandedly force the enemy to stack MR or die.
charcharmunro2 votesI ran into a Heimerdinger trying that. I was Galio. I was just like "Thanks for the heals, man."
1000angrybees5 votesThis is one of the only modes that feels fun even when you lose. Unlike Summoner's Rift.

Athenes Lulu3 votesAscension is a lot like the games on SR right now, so it's not surprising that many people hated it.
I'm a huge fan of actual tactics and playing "carefully" and that Ascension is quite the opposite of that, yet I'm actually having a lot of fun in that mode. In the end, it's just a game mode designed just for shits and giggles. 3/14 as Sona with a D? Pfffffffft that was a fun share of feeding.
GaleWinUnleashed2 votesHaving multiple people on a relic or not is kinda based on the particular situation. Sometimes it's better to try to get it faster so it can be done before you get interrupted. Other times it's better to have one person go out and actively prevent an interruption.
JayHog19922 votesAlso, just because some champions like 
don't have minions to farm, doesn't mean they're useless. In the right hands, they can still turn the tide of the game with their CC and AoE damages.
invisiblecat11 votesHe still gets a little bonus AP, but he is only really good against other ap champions since that bonus damage mades up for it
JayHog19921 votesHis stun cage helps lock down an entire team if well placed. Won a game as him because of that.
WolfBV2 votes
is a great champion to ascend.
AP 
is a great champion to have heal up everyone.
Matty Llama2 votesAscended 
becomes a giant wheel of death... Not gonna lie I may have been laughing maniacally at every Ascended 'boop'
kaltenashes1 votesin a game we had a big fight near xerath (and i triggered him of course =D) we aced the enemy and only one of us was alive, until the enemy got a kill with his passive on our last survivor and he also dealt the killing blow on xerath, kog maw revived from killing xerath LOL bug report
Forn ala creme1 votesNope, it's supposed to happen
kaltenashes1 votessomeone said that 
can revive also
Forn ala creme1 votesYes, as long as you get the kill you revive.
Stand Alone Wolf2 votesI've never been more frustrated playing this game till this game-mode came out. Seriously, everyone is focused on just killing, and leaves others to die. I felt like I was playing by myself trying to stop what seemed like the only enemy on their team to be capturing the crystals, while my team-mates just ran around looking for kills, and care packages. Then end-game the enemies literally said: "Report Janna she didn't even help us she just left us." She was the reason they won the match. She locked down on nearly all the crystals, and healed them when she could. she'd ult us away from Xerath when we were going to secure the kill, and knock us away so her team could get the buff. even won matches felt terrible! Seriously team-work feels like it's at an all time low in this game mode, and I don't think I'll miss it when it gets rotated out.
Sahn Uzal1 votesGive the kills to the Ascended player...
Wait am I missing something, why does that matter?
I mean, he has to die and lose his ascension to spend the gold he got...
Julanus3 votesKills made by non-Ascended players give 1 point. An Ace/Pentakill by non-Ascended players will earn your team 5 points. Kills made by the Ascended player give 2 points. An Ace/Pentakill by the Ascended player will earn your team 10 points.
paisy1 votesThe reason I don't like it is because I don't know if I should screen lock or not
Zerana1 votesI play differently, I just spam heimer and hog a point in one place, and assuming your team has enough lock down and aoe and does not die too much, it can be better than fighting. I got 84 points one game just doing that. A good team for this specific idea would be
You want to hold down the enemy team as much as possible.
If you can stop a point capture do it, bonus points for running away and coming back in time to poke.
Anyone with sufficient damage and tank stats should try to become ascended bonus points if you're also fast.
You basically want a back capper for that last unguarded point and teemo is the best at trapping and running away and then coming back for the point. Alternatively you can just shroom the opposite side and help team fight, but that's not what you should be focusing on unless the enemy is too mobile.
And of course take 
to guard the point and take it when it comes up. When the point is down help your team take the Xerath.

Ascension you have it now learn to play it.... 2) It only take one person to win a crystal. Don't lock on if another player already has. Move forward to play defense and allow the crystal to get captured.
Multiple people reduces the capture time immensely.
