It feels real good to kick ass with Ashe.

Maybe it's just because of the fact that I have the highest mastery score of any champion on Ashe, but, in my opinion, Ashe is the most satisfying ADC when you are the one carrying your team. When you are kicking ass with her, you know that YOU are kicking everyone's ass, and the champion itself is not somewhat carrying you.

This is only amplified by the fact that Ashe doesn't feel bad to play. She's nothing like Jhin, where every auto and ability is so damn satisfying to the point of being orgasmic, but she's also not Kalista, where you honestly feel the hindering mechanics in her kit. There's just enough there to keep you coming back (not to mention, her PROJECT skin makes this all that much better.....everything is just so smooth on that skin).

I've always said that in order to get good with Ashe, you have to learn how to dance with her. Once you're able to do that, you'll have some of the most satisfying wins you could have.

Takin' names, and kickin' Ashe

Probaby has something to do with the fact that she isn't stuffed to the brim and overflowing with paragraphs and paragraphs of text on each ability like every new champion with free escapes and insane burst damage. Winning as a 'properly balanced' champion actually gives a sense of achievement, as you said, you carried, not your champion.

Neeko would like to have a word with you.

Yeah, her burst damage is pretty insane (that ult damage), but her abilities are quite simple and straightforward (her passive is the most complicated thing about her), and she is, by no means mobile (having no more than a small movement speed boost).

Yeah until you realise she's only good because item 3153 was made cheaper so her build path is set in stone.

I just wish her build had more variety than item 3153 item 3085 item 3031. I remember when she was in a state where you could go for utility with BotRK or the standard B.F Sword into crit.

Now that route is just so expensive compared to the BotRK route so I just feel like she was made so 2D by the changes to her items.

Kind wish all ADCs were like her, can be popped easy no mobility outside of her slowing the enemy but if played right can kite people to death. I recently spammed her in Nexus Blitz for an S (I got it) and had fun while doing it. Shame she feels dependent on BoRK at the moment.

What would you recommend as builds? Should it always be BorK into Hurricane? or would a Zeal into IE then crit items be better? (Ignoring the fun Lethality builds for some Nexus/ARAM games).

Like BigBrainSuppMain said, her build is pretty much set in stone with BoRK, Hurricane, IE. You could still go Black Cleaver if the enemy team is tanky enough, and apparently some people like to build Essence Reaver on her (in my opinion, ER is one of the worst buys you could get for her, IE is simply infinitely better......no pun intended).

If all adcs were like Ashe they would be even more homogeneus as a class and there would be less reason to pick one instead of other that just has better numbers.

And I love Ashe, she's my third highest mastery, that's why I dont want all adcs to be like her.

This . Ashe is really a good adc , and even a strong one , She feels good to play against all classes " except assassins " Provides good utility , her Ult is really useful , her slows are good , Fun to play and fun to play against Truly the most well-designed champion.

Yeah.....a Zed can make you just not want to play League. I'm ok with every other assassin, but when it comes to Zed, I feel completely hopeless.

Wukong can also make you hate League.

Noor Sakata1 votes

Yeah when I said assassins , I meant Zed but hitting R feels good

DuskDaUmbreon3 votes

Let's be fair - Wukong is an assassin.

Yeah technically he's a bruiser but the only people who build him like that are trolling, in denial, or time travelers from like s5 or some shit like that. I can't think of a single time his best build wasn't an assassin build.

When I was much worse at the game back long ago I once CSd unusually well and got like 100+cs by 15min and was really satisfied, my support also commented favorably on that. Then we went back to fountain. This was back when Ashe could get up to +5 gold for every cs.

yeah and playing against ashe is not fun. you either one shot her or you get slowed to death.

saltran1 votes

Yeah she's such a unfun champ to play against, she is hated so much that ppl ban her 0.3%

Project Ashe is the most smooth skin in the game dont @ me

Electro5221 votes

I actually can't bring myself to play Ashe on any other skin because of PROJECT Ashe. Don't get me wrong, things like Cosmic Queen and Championship are down right gorgeous......but they use her base animations which are just awful compared to PROJECT Ashe.

saltran1 votes

Same happens for me not only with Ashe aswell but also for Pulsefire Caitlyn vs default/other Caitlyn skins.
