Recently today i had an ashe support, i told the ashe support to take heal or exaust instead of ignite because ashe and mf dont relaly have an escape plan or counter play. She ignored me. Then in game i told her to go to another lane. She ignored me. I ended up getting first blood without her doing anything and so i asked why did u go ashe support. Allot happened then she started arguing and said that everytime i die im gonna blame her. She never helped me in lane, always stood still and never told me about shaco ganks coming. Just watched me die. At this point am i aloud to tell her to go to another lane?

Ashe is labled as a ADC/Support....however if your gonna be stuck with a ashe support maybe you should give them a chance before you shit all over them. I dunno why your surprised at there reaction, sounds like your aggressive attitude toward her caused all the issues your complaining about.

While it can be frustrating to have someone play a "flavor of the month meta" support champ and not really do much in laning phase, it's not really any different than having someone play a traditional support champ and not do much in laning phase. Which happens all the time. From what you are describing, it sounds as if you did a lot of telling her what to do, without really asking, which can piss people off. You'll get much better results if you work with your support, instead of trying to boss them around, or simply telling them to go away because you don't agree with the way they are doing things. If they are arguing, /mute them and just play without talking to them.

It's not uncommon for a support champ to take ignite, and a champ like ashe with built in kiting can survive without heal/exhaust IF the player knows what they are doing. It's not necessarily the best, but it can work. And it's really up to the support player to decide which they feel most comfortable with.

Word on the street: You can't tell them to go anywhere. You can ask and hope they do.

BTW ROX plays MF support so you can't blame one of my favorite teams. <3

Yeah you really sound like the asshole here :/ Asking her to take heal or exh, that's fine. Then you ask her why she took ashe? Kind of passive aggressive. Then you ask her to go to a different lane? Yeah, you're an asshole lol. I guess you are allowed to ask, but it is a very passive aggressive question that I have a feeling you don't want a real answer for.

You're basically saying, you aren't helping me and I don't want you in my lane. So next time, instead of being all sneaky with your questions, which we all know what you really mean by them, just say it straight up.

Saying it straight up is kind of antagonizing and negative, so I'd say it is probably punishable. Depends on how ashe reacts to it and if anything else was said. It's all about context. If she asked why you want her to go to another lane, your response would determine whether it's "okay" (not punishable) or not.

Why couldn't you see the shaco ganks? That's not her fault dude that's yours, use your map awareness more.

I agree with the others in this situation you sound like the dick here
