Not illegal, but people want to actually WIN in ranked for some weird reason.

Considering the only AP scaling she gets is from her ultimate, I'd say you're going to do little more than feed.

why would you want to do that?

The fact that you have to ask that question should say alot

Illegal, no. Viable, heck no.

The only reason to build AP Ashe is to nuke people with your ult.

Better to go AP Varus or AP MF, they have decent AP numbers on their kits.

but why does people wish cancer and report then? I think it's kinda strange how mad people playing this game is... I mean in other games people are usually really nice with eatchother.

In ranked people tend to be very strict about going meta in order to have the best chance of winning. (Your best hope of going against meta is to pick a hard counter, which most will accept.)

AP Ashe is really just something for normals or team builder, but ask people before you just lock in, make sure they are okay with just messing around that game. Many people play normals or team builder to better their skills and may not like going into a situation that isn't really viable in ranked.

Because you're wasting their time with something that is incredibly subpar. People want to win and it doesn't matter how good you are at AP ashe - it starts off with a severe numerical disadvantage. Most people would be upset if it seemed like you were going intentionally waste their time.

Should they be calling you names? No. But you shouldn't be doing things to deliberately upset them.

If you must play an ap 'marksman' go with either varus, kog or ezrael

btw, is it illegal to play ap ashe support with smite? I usually use smite to take blu at level 1 and then carry the game

No, it is not "illegal" to play AP Ashe in ranked... However - there is no point in doing that.

She scales rather poorly with AP, and the only skill that scales have long cooldown.

Also, the only spell that scales well with AP also have high base, so it's pretty strong regardless of your AP.

Anyway, there is not a single reason to play AP Ashe, or at least I fail to see one.

Actually, I wonder how big of an improvement might exist if certain items were disabled on certain champions.

It depends on your intent. If you are going AP Ashe because you genuinely believe that it is good, you shouldn't be punished. But if you are doing it in order to upset people, or to be funny, or to get attention, that will probably result in a ban.

Feigned innocence is usually not going to protect you from punishment though.

If you genuinely believe that it is good, you should be punished - that punishment is your rank.

It is most certainly not illegal to do, but in League, especially ranked, people want to know that their team is reasonable and strong, AP ashe and other Out of Meta picks are more of a normals thing.
