I think a lot of people do not understand why the MF "support" worked. It was because she outranged Zyra's poke and she could abuse her plants to bounce her Q. Also, she was only used with an ADC that can lockdown a target (ashe in this case), in order to combo someone to death at level 6.

Ashe is not a support. A support is someone who helps a champion by giving them heals, shields, boosts to their damage, or someone who can keep said champion safe by tanking hits or by peeling/applying crown control.

Playing a duo bot lane with the ADC and Ashe as the other one can sure be viable. Ashe is ranged, has slows on her autos, has poke with her W, vision with E and a good CC on her ult. It can work in lane, but I can't see how it can be reliable throughout all stages of the game. Apart from her ult and her slows, she doesn't have anything else to offer, except from insane damage based on her kit. If you go "support Ashe", then it means you aren't getting a lot of gold, which then mean you ain't getting a lot of items to do that damage, which is the champion's primary job.

Sure, you might win some games here and there, especially in bronze, where it doesn't really matter what you pick, but people will abuse you in higher elo.

If Ashe support was working, then Lee Sin can also work. GP can also work. Any champion can work as a support by that logic. It's just that they are sub optimal to the original supports, because the supports do the job better, and those champions are intended to do something else other than just babysitting an ADC.

I mean...she can work as poke support tbh. I think MF outranges her though when it comes to poke and MF support is really used only to outrange Zyra's poke in botlane. Ashe's W has decent damage on it, so maxed first can be used as nice poke tool for her - but CD is long, which is a problem. Her being utility ADC in a first place helps with her being support, since she is support-ish ADC anyway.

That being said, I don't think that's a thing, neither it will be a thing.

Lol. I just played it, ironic. But more out of desperation of wanting to play ashe and got stuck on supp after 4 draft dodges and a remake, so went blind pick. Anyways, it's ass. Never going to be close to mf support, which is kinda a cheese pick anyway. Anything can work though. Fun the most important thing lol. I went the little gold coin thing over ap item though. into just regular ashe build. guess cleaver helps your team more. would rush runnans though.

for ashe support i would get item 3508 for the cdr so your abilities are up more often and you still need the crit in your build

I think we might have seen the future and the future is ADC-Supports.

I too tried Miss Fortune Support after Worlds and it is quite ridiculous. If you buy no other Support item other than your Gold/Ward item, then build like a regular ADC you'll essentially end up mid-late game with two ADC on your team and just wreck face.

since u r support try going this build intstead of the dmg one item 3303 item 2045item 3158item 3190 item 3512 item 3222 this build provides a lot of utility (slow from frostquees, vision from ss, cdr on sums from lucidity,shield/mr from solari, creating pressure from zz rot and qss for team with mikaels)

now just peel for your team with your slows and ult :D ps: dont play this in ranked otherwise adc might run down midDraven
