Ashe is a ranged carry - you take her instead of Trist/etc. because of ECA. This game isn't a vacuum.

Who is he agreeing with though? 40% CDR sounds great if you pick her because of ECA, doesn't it?


If everyone has teleport/revive sure. You only need 1 ECA in a teamfight. That is why IE/LW is superior. You rarely even volley in a teamfight except for chasing since it removes auto attack animations.

It's not fotm it makes perfect sense.

450 hp carry w/ arpen quints, vs 700hp carry w/ hp quints and a dorans.

Both go back to base, 450hp guy saves for BF, 700hp gets another dorans, and now its 800hp carry vs 1.2k hp carry, you can be so much more aggressive and punishing if the other guy goes vampire scepter or some stupid shit if you get dorans.

yeah it's one of those FotM things that makes no sense


Twitch purchases 3 d blades
You are tristana with one d blade and boots, working towards your bf sword

twitch stays stealthed in mid entire time, not allowing you to last hit because you cant evenly trade with him


better to delay your items then not get them at all, basically...

Can someone explain to me the advantages of stacking D blades?

I keep reading about rushing to BF, but don't you just end up losing money on selling your D blades instead of just straight up farming for a BF?

Or is the tradeoff worth it from the potential extra farm you can get from 3 Dblades?

or... in a more realistic scenario, they both come to lane with 700 HP because everyone runs HP quints, they back and return, and now it's the 700 hp guy versus the 820 HP guy...

No one runs HP quints at high elo, it's pure armor pen madness.

Triple D-Blade is the one thing that prevents certain nukers/lane control heroes (Kass, Annie, etc.) from kicking carries out of lane.

Triple D-Blade also gives you the survivability and life steal to have staying power.

The idea is to get triple D-Blade and then a Fort pot - upon activation you've got like 2000 HP and over those 4 minutes you can go around ganking and such and save up for an IE (obv. when it runs out you'll prolly have at best a BF Sword). Not to mention you're significantly stronger during this "down time" as you save up for a BF Sword than a carry who might get the BF Sword earlier but is worthless during a forced dragon fight.

I get a second DShield on Kennen if the lane calls for it (Urgot, Teemo (lol) sometimes Ashe and MF.). The difference is makes is HUGE. Like that last ranked I played with you guitar when I was soloing that Urgot top. We were pretty even up until I backed for boots 1 and dshield, then I crushed him.

Stacking Dblades has a similar effect.

twitch buys a vision ward, kills your vision ward since he has lane dominance, then goes back into stealth and gets 25 gold to boot.

stinger sounds awful in this. Is the CDR really worth losing the ability to make a LW/Starks/BR if the game drags out?


When I saw this build I just facepalmed. I am surprised so many people are actually thinking it's not that bad.

Yeah, IE can be nice on Ashe, CDR can be nice on Ashe, Atma's can be nice on Ashe. But not if you just randomly throw some stuff together.
Stinger is rubbish in that build and probably didn't even get him to 40 CDR. Even then it would suck because 40 CDR only makes sense if you build towards Volley. Which means that you want lots of AD/APen. However then Phage makes no sense (it also isn't applied by Volley), and Zerkers even less.
Then let's assume he focuses on autoattack damage. Now Phage is retarded (once again). The synergy with Atmas is ignorable and you really want MRes, ideally a Veil instead of the HP. Phage, or even Mallet, doesn't give any crit or ASpd which is what you need once you have IE. Who is going to get away from Q + Red Buff (which you WILL hog as autoattacking Ashe)? Neither Bruta nor Stinger are good items in this case, but at least ok-ish except that LW is a much better choice for both ASpd and APen. And CDR is useless on DPS Ashe.

why you would do any build besides triple D blade into IE/LW on any ranged carry is beyond me, too strong to pass up. Hell people even build that on kog'maw.

3 dblade -> BR GB -> Malady B seems to be the proper kogmaw Ashe version. Dunno why you'd get IE/LW on kog Ashe. Makes you a bad version of trist.



except thats not the proper build lol, its your build. there is no proper build. and How that makes you a bad version of trist I have no idea, wasnt aware trist had an AOE slow that didnt require you to jump in the middle of a team and a long range poke and a percentage of damage to go along with her autoattack, man i sure am dumb.

Well, when you advocate getting crit and armor pen on a hero that's going to be dealing magic damage with his autoattacks and every skill he has, you kinda reduce the hero into a shitty version of the other long ranged dps carry.

Trist going IE/LW makes sense because the majority of her damage is physical and she has a steroid spell that accounts for attack speed. She has the range to sit fairly far from a fight and just chew people up with red. Going IE/LW on kog gives you really terrible crits at a super slow rate, then gives you mediocre crits at a somewhat slow rate, but at least you've got that red + super range thing going on, right?
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

no, you're missing the point completely. here's the point, high elo games revolve heavily around CC. most efficient ranged carries BLOW when it comes to CC. most carries with strong CC are inefficient damage dealers. Enter Ashe. Ok, fine, she doesn't have Rapid Fire. Ok, fine, she doesn't have gold card. But she does have an auto-crit, non-stop AoE AD Scaling poking + slow, reliable stun and perma slowing on her attack. She's just the best of both worlds. You can fill your ranged carry slot without compromising your teams CC suite.

having that ECA in 45 seconds instead of 75 or w/e doesn't matter at all. Teamfights don't happen more frequently than every 75 seconds. So it's up anyway. It's roughly 500 times more important for you to be able to deal enough damage to fucking kill something in a timely matter once you initiate.

right. in that situation it makes sense. you're behind (or even), you need something situational to give you the edge.

but lets say you were zoning the urgot and you even got a kill on him. you're not going to worry about him making some valiant comeback with his -2 level disadvantage and no farm. so why are you building a buffer? just get that *whatever kennen buys* instead and push your advantage.

i'm not saying triple d-blade is bad always. i think it's the right move when you're down or even. it's just when you're already ahead that i feel like you are pissing away an advantage by building a subpar build

i blow him away with my ult and kill his sight ward first. then i tell karthus to ult and shaco to gank and we win.

we're entering the realm of the purely hypothetical and irrelevant. we're both right and we're both wrong. thank you for your explanation, but i remain respectfully unconvinced. you are probably right but in my head i just can't follow this build \o/

I'm much more afraid of a hero with 3 D-Blades and a BF Sword than one with one D-Blade and an BF Sword and whichever other item they chose. It's pretty simple. One of them has 250ish more HP and 8% more lifesteal, making them less likely to show up with sub100% hp, the other one will do slightly more damage but explodes to nukers.

yea, this more or less makes infinity sense. Easy enough to just diversify your damage, so why the fuck not? lol. Like seriously, have you ever seen what a I.E. + BR Carry does? Well, Kog does that with just I.E. because he has a built in BR. Oh and now we can get that stupid armor pen even quicker. lol, goddamn that's so fucking simple I'm mad I never decided to just do that :p.
