What's so bad about Ashe going top?

I've seen people cry to me about going at top, but it's pretty handy dandy against most Top Laners like Teemo or something seeing as "Blindness sux" or melee fights. (cough Riven still smacks me) What's the big deal?

Vulnerable to ganks, easy to engage on, immobile, no sustain, etc. Also not the meta, so people whinge :P

All of this. Any jungler worth anything is going to camp you hard because Ashe is really weak to ganks as a solo. Having a support at least somewhat mitigates that.

A bad ashe is really weak to ganks as a solo.

Every Ashe is weak to ganks as solo. Good Ashe is less vulnerable, like all good players, but guess what - the better the player the better enemy junglers. Hawkshot every 1.5 minute won't save you from Lee camping your squishy butt.

Anything works in Bronze.

Probably that she's one of the worst ADCs to go top lane with

but, you know, keep trolling if that's what you want to do

Meh, in bronze anything works. It can work pretty well BUT ONLY IF YOU'VE PLAYED A LOT OF ASHE. Only if you understand your limitations, only if you ward well, only if you know how to use your E to scout for the jungler's location, only if you can kite well, only if you understand positioning. It can work out well since you set up ganks like a boss, have a permaslow AA, and have the range advantage most of the time. I wouldn't recommend blind picking it but it can work as a pocket counterpick.

Nothing wrong with ashe top. I am seeing adc in all lanes. It works if you do it right.

There's nothing wrong with going Ashe top. Just prepare your butt for all of the tanks that do more and take more damage than you do

Nothing wrong, because champions can't be forced into a lane.
