My last Ashe game was one where my opponents kept going "fuck laning" and would keep roaming as a kill pack and simply ignoring creeps for kills. Objectives? Screw that, they just kept going for kills.
Are these kinds of matches hated by Riot? You never see them in pro-play, even if one team is built to work well around it.

Shonjl1 votesI dont see that as being effective at all. If they roam, moreso at level1. They have no way to earn xp other than getting kills which at level1 isnt happening. Even if 5 people tower dive at 1 against 1 person. Its safe to say the tower will kill 1+ of them in the process, which when its a 5v1 and losing 2 people or more is very poor.
All the other team that is laning would have to do is safely farm and would outlevel and be able to kill the kill pack with ease. It wouldn't be hard to pentakill them at lvl6 is they are like 2-3 and you have one of the better ults in the game.
darkdill1 votesWell, their Vayne still got a healthy amount of CS, while I got camped a lot because they would not stop rotating.
They basically wanted a game that lasted less than 20 minutes, and their comp meant safety was impossible. You can't really be that safe when Zed and Shen dive you at the same time, or when Blitzcrank is the one doing the sieging/zoning.
50000000000000001 votesIt's really a cheese strat. If everyone plays safe, your team gets both farm and some kills, while the enemy team only gets kills and assists (maybe).
Unless their team is built around early level roaming (something like Rammus, Bard, Evelynn, Lee Sin, Pantheon, Karma, etc.; high out-of-combat mobility and/or early gank potential), I don't see this becoming effective.
It's frustrating to play against, but not difficult.
darkdill1 votesCan't really play safe when it's Shen, Zed, and Blitz coming at you. Turrets do jack shit.
50000000000000001 votesAre they zoning you from farm? Then let them zone you while your other lanes push hard. Are they diving you? You will probably die, but if you take one of them with you, it'll be an even trade.
