Tilting, taking red buff, not helping.

Just thought I'd share this little story.

I'm playing ADC on this FlexQ game, and I have a Graves jungle. Quite frankly, he was doing real hot, he had a nice score and overall, the game was even.

But then, he just tilted. He tilted because: 1) Our Support was feeding. 2) I had a 3/5 score 3) and because overall, there was a string of unfortunate events that led us to a slight disadvantage.

I can understand that frustrates you. Doing so good but being unable to accurately press your advantage because you lack the skills, but check this out: He took every red buff from me through the whole game and made sure I got none of them, ever. He would drop everything he was doing just to take it from me.

His reason? ''You are 3/5, I'm not giving you red buff if you are not fed, its a waste''

Now see, I don't mind that. Its just flex Q, I'm not shook, but just in case anyone is agreeing with the guy, I just wanted to put this out on the table:

Red buff does not increase damage, it only applies a burn damage on hit, which does not scale with the champion using it. (on top of grievious wound)

I had Runnans, I can apply the buff to 3 enemies during fights in the best cases. So taking the buff from me was literally just handicaping your own team's potential to win fights. Its griefing, in a way... But I did not blame him, he probably did not know.

Aight, cya!

red buff doesnt apply grievious wounds

This unit's physical attacks apply a debuff that slows the target's movement speed by 10 / 15 / 25% (halved to 5 / 7.5 / 12.5% for ranged champions) for 3 seconds and a DoT that deals 4 - 38 (based on level) bonus true damage three times (refreshed on-hit). Also heals buff holder by 1 / 3 / 9% of their maximum health per 5 seconds out of champion or epic monster combat. If the buff holder is slain, this buff is transferred to the killer.

Also, due to graves AAs, he could also apply it to multiple enemies at once.

Being a Utility ADC, kills don't matter much on Ashe. What was your assist score?

Wait, you were playing ASHE?? And wanted red buff? Ashe has a perma slow, having Graves using the Red gives your team 2 sources of perma slows instead of just one. Specially since slows haven't stacked for a long time. The stronger just takes priority over the weaker.
