Hey guys so I've been playing close to 3 weeks now and hit level 15 and was immediately in love with Ashe and kinda worked this ADC build out. Care to give some thoughts and feedback on it?

Start: Warding Totem, Boots of Speed.

Built in Order: Berserkers Greaves, Vampiric Sceptre, Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, Last Whisper, The Bloodthirster, Maw of Malmortius.

Spells are Flash for those get aways and chases, and Clarity since I like to forget to turn off my Q sometimes =p

I may switch around Last Whisper and Bloodthirster depending on given situations, but yeah thats basically how it goes.

Last PVP I played with this set up I went 14-1-13, so I figure I cant be doing to bad.

Thanks guys and happy gaming!

Start d-blade, pot and totem ward.

I'D remove the Maw form your build and add a better defensive item such as Guardina angel or a banshee's veil.

Drop clarity and get barrier.

Learn good positioning and have decent map awareness. Only turn on your Q when chasing or kitting.

I've been playing a lot of Ashe and I think you are on the right track. It's fun to figure out champions and what they are capable of but I have a few tips for your build.

Warding Totem is a must so right on! Boots and Pots are the recommended start on Ashe but there are always trade offs. With boots you can dodge skill shots more easily and you have 4 potions if you end up taking a lot of harass. However you lose out on damage and sustain that Doran's Blade gives you. Dorans blade will help you kill minions and when attacking your enemy and it also increases your W damage.

My recommended start: item 3340 item 1055 item 2003

You get less healing from potions but Doran's blade will gives you more life, some heal every attack and damage. Switching from boots to this will make Ashe feel slooooow but you will get used to it.

I like to stay in lane farming until I have 1550 and go back and get B.F. Sword item 1038 . Boots of speed + BF Sword + 1 or 2 pots will make you super dangerous in lane. Ashe's passive when up gives her an auto critical attack. So, if you use that on an enemy champion and immediately follow with W you will have done over 300 damage in less than 1 second. Yay!

My ideal first time back to base my inventory looks like this: item 1001 item 1038 item 2003

After you are back in lane, killing everything with your BF sword head back and get: item 3006 . I prefer item 3031 over item 3072 so I either start buying items to make that and/or item 3086 . After I finish Infinity Edge I finish item 3046 and then start building Blood Thirster.

Like others have said, dump Maw and spend the money on Gaurdian Angel, it gives you both armor and magic resist and lets you not be afraid of being melted instantly by mages!

Good luck out there!

I agree Ashe should be nerfed but only in 1 way! her frozen arrow ability, its almost like Teemo's darts but WORSE first of all it slows and does allot of damage early on which allot of champions can't handle but it doesn't cost nearly enough many so she has like a endless slow all the time witch is WAY op
