Hi ,

Some random crazy question from me :) , so , is Ashe viable in jungle? I tried her in jungle last 10 days(only bot games) and i must say , i cant clear my side of a jungle in 1 run , i must back after red , krug start is best because of stun , your q proc stun quickly. Also basic kite mechanics cause ashe have passive slow , after item 3931 completed , my health is constantly full.

Now , back to cons:

There is maybe many cons and bad things about Ashe jungle , starting with :

  • immobile as hell ( summoner 4 summoner 4 summoner 4 summoner 4 ) !
  • no strong cc Leona :) pre 6 (only slow)
  • low dps in low lvl,s
  • item item 3931 dependent !
  • squishy
  • mana problems without blue
  • can`t do early dragon
  • slow clear time!
  • vulnerable to counter ganks

etc , etc...

Ok , it is not all black.

Some pros by my opinion:

  • I LIKE THE CONCEPT OF MARKSMAN JUNGLE
  • Ashe third best aa range 600 units , Caitlyn 650 , and special case Tristana 669 at "LVL 18"
  • perma slow with red (aka easy enemy flash on any gank)
  • possibility of R 3.5 seconds stun( this is gamble doo , it is skillshot)
  • late game it is not possible to get away from Ashe , even without red !
  • duo adc team Draven Draven , sometimes it is instawin
  • pray for no Yasuo in enemy team
  • everyone thinks that you troll , wait , is this a pros?
  • i am out of pros , but let it be hawkshot , cause you can see anywhere on the map

TL,DR pls don`t flame me , flame him Brand

You COULD play Ashe jungle, but there's no real reason to. If you wanted an Ashe, she's better in bot lane; if you want an ADC jungler, Graves, Kindred, or Quinn would serve you better, and if you want a high damage Devourer with strong slows, Kayle is a safer option. Essentially, everything Ashe offers as a jungler (global stun and vision control), she also offers as an ADC, giving her nothing to really patch up her weak ganks and early game.

The problem is, everything (literally everything and everyone) can walk into your jungle and kill you, they can sit in front of you, taking your camps and you can't do anything about it because if you get close they kill you.

i never thought about ashe but i have played Caitlyn and Vayne jungle for the item 3931 synergy with their passives(headshot/silverbolts) and Twitch /Kalista for their strong ganks who also have stack passives that would benefit from item 3931

Ashe without her gap closure or moment speed will be a farm only jg. While she is farming, lanes might lose out and counter jungled. Without monsters or CS to farm she'll fall behind. Chances of she falling behind are pretty high, not to mention all the toxicity she'll receive from teammates for trolling.

As a jg item 1412 is your option

    • which cannot be sated. Sated item 3931 and item 3124 will work twice as slow as compared to melee. These two are not worth as Q is still counted as 1 hit and W as 0 hit. 60AD with no AS. As ADC - item 3031 is first item - 60AD, 20% crit +passives. You are losing first item slot and barely getting anything in return. For her Q lifesteal to work she needs more physical damage another good reason to get AD than AP item.
  2. R stun is <1 second in jg as you'll be standing ~600 units from monster before slaying it.
  3. R will not work on Drag ( not sure of rift and baron) and never tried on other monsters.
  4. Lack of sustenance with heal or shields.
  5. Monsters won't chase you endlessly so if you move out of their range they'll heal full health and get back. You'll lose health, at later levels as well but your lifesteal will kick in so it's different argument. ( At later levels all player can kill monsters so never a pro or a conn) 6 Her R has a long CD, so not really a gank feature, If E (hawkeye) is used your location can be known it's not an ability you wanne use in jg.

Pros .. may be kite monsters and get kills.

  1. If Q+W abilities used a lot then jg clear is faster.
  2. All the AP power is useful for R ( just her ult)
  3. She can solo a drag at lvl 8-9 with an AD item - I did in bot game. ( of course get ready to be countered by enemy)
  4. If late game reaches, there are multiple adcs. ( and you were allowed to farm itself means enemy team deserves to lose)
