So, Press the Attack or Lethal Tempo after all?

I've been playing Ashe with both... she is RIDICULOUS with both... giant dmg... even if other ADCs do even more her perma slow and stun CC make her a god tier ADC this season... but I've been winning with both and I don't know which one is better... Lethal Tempo gives her Q an insane burst especially in teamfights along with a Bork as 3rd item and a Runaan's as 1st-2nd while Press the Attack makes her a bully in lane and her ult can help her break the Press the Attack passive so easy... I can't decide which is better though... both are insanely strong (Along with the Assassin keystones and Aftershock for tanks they are the most godlike keystones...)

So, not counting only Ashe.. there are some ADC's that Press the Attack is the only choice (Ezreal, Jhin, Draven, Lucian and even Corki if you even count him as ADC anymore)... but on the rest of the ADC's, this is what I think and tell me if I'm wrong...

Caitlyn ---> Press the Attack Ashe ---> I think Lethal Tempo but as I said not sure Jinx ---> Lethal Tempo Kalista ---> Press the Attack (for her E to do more) Kog Maw ---> Lethal Tempo MF ---> Press the Attack (kinda obvious) Sivir ---> Press the attack (since her range doesn't help her to do tons of AAs) Twitch ---> Just broken with Lethal Tempo in late game... but can do insanely well with press the attack in lane too because of stealth Tristana ---> So broken E with press the Attack... Lethal tempo can make her broken in late game teamfights but only if she's fed Varus ---> Obviously Press the Attack for easy ult kills Vayne ---> Now this is a tough one... I vote Lethal tempo though for late game insanity Xayah ---> maybe even none of them and go for Electrocute since her game play is much more assassin than ADC... but if you have to pick it's Press the Attack and nothing else...

Anyway, tell me your opinions...

PS. I love that Ashe is now a god tier ADC... I love her and how well thought she is as a character and skillset and I hated being flamed for even picking her because she is "weak" and "0 dmg ADC"... Ashe is now a god damn MONSTER... and I freakin love it... Ashe is gonna be Legen... wait for it... DARY!!! :D

PS2. I'm tired of hearing both teams at the same game saying "report bot" unless their ADC is like 12/2... if you have a normal score like a 4/3 and the enemy ADC kills ANYONE they all start crying out "report bot" and "my team sucks... nice feed bot"... if you don't want to die to ADC's don't walk straight into them and their supps... try to actually outplay them... seriously... it's a thing... try it...

Have you forgotten about fleet footwork? Press the attack feels kinda weak on sivir and trist

Press the attack for lane dominance, lethal tempo for lategame scaling, mostly on aa focused hypercarries like Kog.

MF electrocute is better as she does not play as a traditional adc, press the atack is good on xayah and lethal tempo is better than press the attack on cait.

and Ez kleptomancy, for vayne all 3 are good and viable, lethal tempo if you go rageblade build, press the attack if you go crit and the lifesteal one if you are against a hyperagressive lane or poke heavy lane like cait+sona.

I really appreciate this post, very well thought out.

I've been experimenting with Ashe builds myself and I think lethal tempo is just too good on Ashe if you're going the standard ER>Runaans>I.E. build.

I wonder if press the attack would be good on the Bork>Runaans>PD build. That's something I'm really wanting to test out.

I don't really agree with you on Xayah being more of an assassin but nonetheless it's still press the attack. With a Rakan by her side their early dmg is gonna be even better. I feel like the only ones benefitting more from lethal tempo are jinx and kog mow although press the attack might still be decent on Jinx, especially if the enemy team is rather tanky. I should try electrocute on xayah tho . :D
