New Ashe "Was that Me" Icon question...

Trying to figure out the meaning on this one. I am guessing Ashe just ulted an her team lit up the enemy, and she is telling the enemy "Was that Me?" but they prob wont see her since she fired from off screen. OR she could be telling her team the same thing "'Was that me' that set up that kill?" Again, no one around to see it.

To me, the expression seems like something you would see on a supp lux face after she lasers 3 enemies that could have easily been the adcs. Idk. Just wondering on this early Sat morn.

edit: on a side note, the Lux "Nice Try." has a similar feeling for me. I get the point, but being the cheery, bubbly Lux and the big smile, it almost seems like she is telling her own team "Good work!". I use it for w/e, myself.

I thought it was more for when you are behind after feeding all game.

Someone's like "oh just that crappy ashe" and then get killed by her because of her ridiculous kite potential. The emote pops up as if to say "Was it me, the weak Ashe, that killed you". Get tilted.

Also although emote's have text behind them, the emotion that the facial expression invokes is the real purpose. She looks as if she is scoffing at you. I think that is the purpose of the emote.

Like the Lux emote, you could use it after a teammate heals you and it could convey "Thanks" because of the happy expression and the thumbs up. The crying Amumu could be used for when you get ganked or when you are denied a Penta.

Because you only get 5 emotes I'm sure they were mean't to have more depth than the associated text. The text I think is just a way to label the emotes without having to say "The one with Lux and the thumps up with the rainbow"
