Why would building a Tear on Ashe seem like a good idea in ranked to anyone anymore?

Peel Your ADC··1 votes·586 views

With about 7 people in the same game as you telling you that you REALLY shouldn't sit on it and an avarice blade for 10 minutes (The enemy team felt compassion for us and insulted that matchmaking thought she'd be a good matchup for them), it's probably an option to consider ditching that particular item.

But god forbid you try and explain how you can sell items back, despite "I don't wanna waste the gold :(" being the main response. Combine that with some bronze tier positioning and a 32 minute Infinity edge, it was really confusing to see what makes the decisions for people like this.

Well, I haven't seen it before, but I suppose it would be for the sole purpose of allowing her to keep her Q on longer for permaslows, and to build into item 3004 item 3042 from what I can tell, it's 45 attack damage with 30 extra damage as long as there's mana per autoattack.

It seems... odd, but I can see why people would do it (in theory).

item 3508 is better for keeping her Q on and it gives you more damage (not counting the active) and CDR.

yah, I've seen it. It's okay, but really not a typical build. It could be useful when you need extra mana in lane.

You could manage your mana to not need the tear in the first place.

Pretty useful for abusing autos and a volley every once in a while

The only time tear is good is if you're going for a CDR Ashe build that spams Volley; that of which should never be used in a serious match.

the 6 tear build is usually my way of expressing sadness

I may not be a good ADC, but I wouldn't build that item on Ashe. I think EZ and Urgot can use it, but those are the only two.
