I'll Frost Arrow them IRL.

Seriously,no one asks me why i pick ashe when i have 16/2,the moment you get 0/1 , four of your team mates reveal themselves as pro league coaches and try to teach you how to play the damn game

Welcome to video games, where people will make fun of anything not top tier or meta, until you kick their teeth in.

Just enjoy the game on your own.

But why didn't you build death cap and rageblade... to amp the ap damage scaling of your ult? Or sunfire cape to get the "fire & ice" synergy going? You are clearly a boosted challenger lol.

Yeah... people dumb enough to say stuff like what I just wrote above and actually believe it... they couldn't even understand logic if you spell it out in simple baby-step detail. Just mute them and move on. I still don't get how any of such players get boosted above bronze 5... but... matchmaking op.

Too bad. Ashe is shit atm and you're actively hurting your team's chances of winning by picking her. If you went 16/2 on Ashe that just means you would have gotten 32/2 on Kaisa or Lucian.

Don't play a team game if you can't handle criticism.

criticism.

Because "don't pick X" is very constructive and helpful and whatnot.

She has around a 49.5% to 50% win rate. That is very far from "hurting your team".

According to na.op.gg, Caitlyn KogMaw Sivir Jinx Varus Twitch Kalista and Tristana are all weaker.

How about picking the strongest champs? Sounds like a good plan to me.

How about having fun or playing who you're good at?

Austin Covello1 votes

This. If you aren't good at Ez and Kai'Sa but you're good at a mid-tier champ, and play the former, you'll probably do more harm than good, anyway.

Practice helps. I have fun while trying to win. YMMV

I just carried a game with Ashe. There was a Sejuani and a Pyke on it. We saw to it that Sejuani didn't get one. single. kill. My lady love and I do things Kaisa could never do. I was worried about her with this patch, but she's better than she's been in some time.

Here's just how weak Ashe isn't.

Having said that, I wouldn't mind if her E revealed stealthed units and cammo'd champions at the third rank. It would give her some strategic diversity and make her viable as a support flex-pick, which is what she was supposed to be originally in addition to an ADC.

EDIT: But you know what? That's okay. Keep thinking Ashe is weak. It's always more satisfying when your prey thinks you're helpless.

Funny how all the negative comments so far are from Bronze & Silver while Gold+ players are telling them to follow their dreams and be the best damn Ashe they can be. Wonder if attitude has something to do with ability.

Not to say that there aren't Unranked-Silver players putting in positive comments, but that the negative comments are all from the lower 60% .

Good thing I am not your team mate: Why do you pick Ashe? She is so weak right now! :O

IDK, I was told when I picked the game up that Ashe has never been top tier, but she's always been solid. I just hated her at first because my old laptop is so bad I could literally not orb-walk due to input lag, and she needs to orb-walk to be successful. I haven't played her since, but I can tell you a good Ashe will wreck my best ADCs. (Again, I'm new, but whatever man, whatever.) And to paraphrase the advice I've gotten from MANY sources: the off-meta champ you're comfortable with is better than the OP champ of the week you've never played.

They removed her 'orb-walk' years ago in her rework and AFAIK the closest thing there are to real Warcraft 3 orbs in this game are the Unique Passives.

This is why I prefer Dota 2. People don't bitch about meta there.

Ashe can be very fun to play.

Not sure how the crit changes affected her but her kite potential mid-late is extremely good.

I played Ashe support not too long ago. You can have some MASSIVE impact in lane with the W harass, E vision into the enemy jungle, not to mention the Ults if you're effective with them.

Utility ADCs > all for me. People like Ashe, Varus and Sivir are my favourites. They still provide something for the team even if a bit behind.

Fellow Ashe lover here, how do you build her after the item changes? Surely she's been affected by them, but i'm not sure how much. What item do you like to build first? Did you somewhat change the way you play her?

Seriously interested, She's one of the adcs I like most.

Austin Covello2 votes

I do either item 3508 item 3085 item 3031 item 3153 item 3036 /item 3033 or item 1038 item 3085 item 3031 item 3046 item 3153 item 3036 /item 3033 /item 3508 , still. But I've also experimented with rushing BORK into two Zeal crits, too with some success. If you're feeling a bit cheese you can swap out item 3031 for item 3124 and go full speed goddess. You'd think that item 3095 would be good on her, but it doesn't seem to be that great. But then, I was using Lethal Tempo at the time. I've since switched to PTA, so maybe I should try revisiting it.

I didnt try building the new crit items on her as my first items,i felt like the build path and the prices are now just absurd when you can get similar results going the other way around. Also i realized that i should start playing the game the way i felt best,not the way my teammates or mobafire tells me to do. One of the biggest downsides for any ADC in my eyes is the pure shit feeling of being the squishiest on your team,getting oneshoted often or just chunked for 50% hp by a poke spell.

Thats why i loved the Korean Lucian item 3153 item 3071 item 3046 , Korean Ashe is similar item 3153 item 3071 item 3085 Now they changed BC since then quite a lot,it used to give more dmg and arpen and less hp,but its still a viable item now,it costs 700 less than an IE and only 100 more than the zeals while having much better build path.

So i've been going item 3153 item 3071 on her and then just crit,its a solid build,your Q gives 5 stacks of BC on the target in ONE shot,there's no one that can stack BC faster than her,you're gonna have easier time winning fights early because of lifesteal and more hp,the bonus MS coupled with your slow is amazing,if someone jumps on you you even have your botrk slow,and even though LDR is now good again,the difference between them is only 10% armorpen that works only for you,going Black Cleaver + PTA and you can make the enemy weaker for everyone on your team,not just you.

Personally its all about playstyle,if you want to trade some damage for some hp try this out,it maybe wont do the damage that IE Runan would,but it will come close,while being able to apply that damage more freely,not worrying about every spell one shotting you
