Lux (DEMACIAAAAAA *closes in autoattack and dies*)

What? Her autoattack range is one of the longest in the game. So ashe dies every time she autoattacks? That's some logic.

If you went for Trinity Force you wouldn't be building glass cannon. -_-

Not to mention that Ashe standing still doing nothing is the #1 most obvious sign that she's about to arrow.

How is 550 range "one of the longest in the game"? It's the usual amount for ranged champions.

Ashe's AA range is 600--only 4 champs in the game naturally have 600+ range (with 2 more that have it conditionally).

Not even a comparable analogy, because in an FPS, you always have yourself as the baseline point for the origin of the shot, so it takes no effort to know the straight line direction through which your shot is going to travel.

With Ashe arrows you're either just roughly guessing the direction which your shot is coming from (why you'd accept being imprecise with a 1 min CD, I don't know), or you're glancing at the minimap and estimating based on where your icon is--at which point the time it takes to glance at the minimap and interpret the direction from which your Arrow is coming from takes longer than just pressing R and clicking. You're no longer saving time, so what's the point of smartcasting?


How are you 'guessing' the direction you're coming from? You know it EXACTLY

If for some reason you don't know where you are the map you still have to find out, indicator or not, because then you don't know the travel time

I just don't see the gain in smart-casting Ashe arrows. Even if you're not using the skill-shot indicator, ECA just isn't a spell you want to split-second cast. You're going to take time to aim it, so where's the need to do it in 1 keypress instead of 2?

You click to move to a spot, say, from base to behind your first tower. While your champ is moving you look elsewhere and aim your arrow, then fire. Yes, you stop for a second to fire, that doesn't mean you weren't moving beforehand while aiming it.

You know where you are on the map, but you are watching a spot 3 screens away from your current location. You are moving. You have to get the timing right, you have to get the angle as good as you can, you have to predict the enemy's movement, you try to land the stun in a place and at a time where it is meaningful.
To get all of this right you should really take your time aiming anyways. In which case smartcasting doesn't even make you faster. NOT using smartcast however lets you eliminate one of the variables.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Well the discussion was about who's the worst trinity force user, and I definitely disagree about Lux being one because her passive synergizes with it and she has a lot of range and a snare and a slow.

Right click on tower, die, respawn, repeat? Obviously your enemies have to react quickly to get a hit off before the tower solo kills him, but I figure they might manage that once every 2-3 runs by an accidental Alpha Strike or Dark Matter hit.

lol people are like that. Don't take the game too seriously. I look at the hilarious stuff (generally it's just poor play, but I find it funny still) and make jokes about it.

For example, when my friend was first learning and I played Kayle, he would run at the enemy and tank 2 turret hits lvl 1 then die to like a few attacks. All I'd do is joke and go "Dude, I'm kayle, I can't heal for 600 at lvl 1." We both kind of just laugh about that now, because it's funny when you look back at such things.
