this adc is so annoyed!

see this is what happened

we cheese'd em and then their jg came and we managed to get me two kills in a 2v3 (40 second tense over-gank ) and in that final fight that got me the two kills the support kited me down. thresh got a way.

then, when I get back the enemy support still there level 3 and 20% health - the trist level 1 - and thresh cleverly coming in from the side. but when the fight goes? I hit the support at first and he flees - and the thresh chases while I'm tanking the minion wave and trist. just peel and I get trist again and the huge wave of exp. the game is done if so. but nah i guess. but at this point? I'm just like, it's understandable mistake most people in my elo are not aware of the relevance of minion wave damage. nor of matchups, trist can out damage me if she is alowed to stack on her bomb. most supports never know this so I have to plan for it.

but then what really makes me start to wonder - the thresh after I return and the trist overstays, he has no health. he decides he wants to fight trist near tower, pings a few times and starts to fight her, I am close enough so I go well OK and fight. he starts it off right - lands hook, I use q and auto her - then he flays her into the bush. no ward. by the time she shows again she just walks under the turret. the thresh starts autoing her and so I do too -cause why not at this point it won't matter but it could force a b - but then the rakan, predictably, returns to lane at this point - so we both die. Again, it was a large minion wave - it literally would have been a winning move just to let it freeze and farm - because trist only got 2-3 waves so far, as much as I have, and this wave is 2-3 large. thresh was low. he should have let me get solo exp while he recalled, and we'd keep our lead. I admit tho, I should not have encouraged him. but idk, in my experience if you just don't help, that tilts people, and so following up on their bad calls leads to more game wins than just not helping. I'm at this point starting to get a little boggled.

Then hold on - while I'm in base, about 4 minutes later - I push and then, sol, 'cause the thresh makin a good roam (asumably - but he almost allows the leblanc to die to riven's combo, instead of throwing an easy hook he throws out a lantern and then sits there as she's comboing her - his hook finally comes out and saves leblanc. but, riven survives. leblanc doesn't chase with her 10 hp, despite riven's 10 hp) but anyway so I'm in base and he returns to lane with eve - they fight the enemy bot lane with me in base - and they dive the turret, sure they do succeed in killing the trist but both die to trist. she is now 5/2. to the thresh's playmaking. not to mine. but I say nothing and I know - it ain't obvious -

so when thresh continues to gank other lanes for the next 7 minutes I can't say anything. they disrespect me 'cause my enemy laner is fed - 5 kills to my only 2. (even tho the thresh is seriously heavy) and when I get a chance I watch the battles - the thresh continues to make poor plays. classical new-thresh ability decisions, idk how to explain it but if you've seen it you know what I mean. (I continue to say as little anything unless it is positve or strategic) I die a third time 'cause I'm solo bot lane meanwhile. nbd shit happens. The first mid game fight - I only have tier two boots, still pretty slow on move speed, relative to everyone's dashes. But, I pick up two kills in the fight - lots of damage with that IE/boots on ashe. the enemy spidergirl and birdmansupport are escaping pretty rapidly and I am obviously lagging behind the chase. with all lanes pushed in and with a mid sized wave each lane, I clear raptors since they're aggro'd - 5 second clear I think? w/e, fast. I clear mid too. and I beeline top to clear top. omw top they are in a good position for me to send my ult which came up while I was mid, and continue to the wave top. This is the right decision, no? there's no need to chase for 30 seconds like they are when all three lanes are at our turret, it's only 15 minutes in, and y'know if they really want something they could go drag or rift herald instead of chasing enemies that are slipping away from them for an entire minute straight. what logic!

but here they start spam pinging me. I ping my cull and chat, "I don't have enough move speed yet to follow such a chase"

then, for the next 5-7 minutes constantly one of the thresh, eve, and renektons are dead. 5 deaths total (or did both thresh/eve die one time?) I'm farming 'cause they're always - literally - I base, and no one's out, so I go to the most threatening wave lane. they spawn/recall/overstay, and go to the opposite side of the map from me. one of them dies, sometiems with me on my way to help. I get what I can with what's available cs/fight wise. recal to reset, and ... they do it again. four times. then it is at this point that they start harrassing me about "farming too much" and I'm getting quite irritated. literally, they go where I'm not. I either push the wave asap and beeline to them - or push asap and recal to buy and beeline to their location - remember, their location, which they chose, which was on the opposite side of the map from where I was before they went there!

at one point the enemy is leaving mid to do dragon, and eve is dead. it was unfortunate, she dc'd for 5 seconds and the game had her walk strait through the enemies. I actually managed to kill one tho, hehe! they go drag and me and thresh are sorta watch. I realize it's not gonna happen for us, so I give him two yellows and leave. I see the galio is push our turret and our top is without tp pushing bot lane - so I go clear/fight there. I make a mistake and take a ton - but heal it to 70% and realise the galio is likely going to see that and think he can kill me (he can't unless I f' up a second time) so I sit clearing and he sits. it goes for about a minute - the enemies base and return, and the eve and thresh are together - this time with at leblanc at least, but ren got picked after drag for overstaying his push and I'm still countering the top pushing galio. which I've been doing for over a minute. so anyway, they decide to 3v4. (ren did trade 1 for 1 good for him for that at least) and while they do that - I kill the galio. super easy, well I needed heal for my mistake a minute ago but galio is SO easy to outplay for me lol. (unless i f' up, but that's like everything when you're ashe. don't f' up) and so you know what happens? eve/thresh die. leblanc escapes 'cause she's tricky, glad we have a leblanc - she's low deaths lol! one less than me, even with ren. thresh and eve both have more than us tho at this point. but again, I say nothing. and... they continue their newest trend of trash talk the ash.. ugh.

anyway we get together for a mid fight for once - holy crap all 5 of us alive, and together for a fight? I'm so amazed! honest this is the time to shine. and we do! we get 4 of them - but lose eve so we can't take baron. mid inhib is lost so we gotta, well, clear waves. it's the name of this game I guess. seriously the eve/thresh clearly don't understand how good it is to clear waves. yes it ain't as good as taking baron or drag or turret but if you gotta clear waves - it's exp and farm. it is a short-run advantage over the dead enemies. it's good. so w'e. I clear a bunch, recal, and buy. And .. well.. the ren in river walking to mid gets in trouble, but he gets out quick. I yellow ping and start my recall, I have only 200 mana and like 2000 gold - maybe i overstayed? but I usually do this and usually my teamates are smart enough to wait 20 seconds before engaging. usually. maybe that was my mistake, not recognizing that these guys aren't the usual teamates. so in the 20 seconds it takes me to recal, buy, and leave base - they engage, lose 2. I am there to fight and do - I kite pretty well, flash the riv engage so her ult's wasted and trist wastes a flash too very good. I honestly don't remember much about this last fight otherwise. I think I got a kill or two? no only at most one. I ended with only 7 or 8 kills - such a shame. if eve/thresh were 10-20 secodns more patient ALL GAME over and over and over again, it was an easy gosh-darned win. I do my best to prevent their taking base - like if you're watching me kite all the skillshots while dishing out damage, holy wow! I even kill the spiderlady. but the other allies one died rip and the other is having a hard time too - they're zoned out from getting into the fight OR returning to base, over to the bot side of base area. zoned by riven maybe? or wait was she dead? I didn't really see - but it was not riven and not galio who were on my. I almost killed the trist too! but a super and minion waves kills the final goal just before she dead lol.

anyway. if you read this, haha thanks. writing it has made me feel a lot less tilted. thank you for allowing me to share a story of a tilted ashe.
