Yea, thats a decent damage buff, but the ult cost sucks because half the time when you hit 6 you dont have the mana for volley + ult, so you lose the lvl 6 engages anyways! I end up putting 9 in utility when I ashe, which feels a bit silly >_>
I end up with 11, though I tend to play Ashe passively in lane. The ability to come into lane with 9% lifesteal (with quints) just feels very strong to me

Zero threat? You are completely fine because of your ult. Yes you dont have the same damage, but you're 800 gold behind? Is that really back breaking in a lane where you're main focus is farming? Dorans>Avarice>BF is completely viable and barely puts you behind if you play passive.

what are you guys's thoughts on swift boots atm?

Sorry I try to play differently and try and make shortcuts. It works and mathematically puts you ahead if you manage to keep even in cs. It's fine if you don't try it or anything. I'll just play my way.

Garen is so good at this. Midgame, an ADCs barely scratch garen, but he kills them in like 4 seconds. Hate that guy. His W is getting nerfed though, so i guess that will help. I've decided to just go stright bortk omen whenever I see garen in games. not too much longer until bortk gives as too for a good 1 item power curve. Gotta try that. Anyone knows when the botrk change is supposed to go live? The 5% change is live now. It's fully buffed atm. He's refering to the 30%as that bortk has on the pbe right now and should be going in the next patch on the 28th when maintinence was annouced today. Not sure on the change as patch notes arnt out yet ofc. Adcs now have a really weak mid game for a strong early and late game. So champs are being picked up that have a super charged mid game to throw off the adc. Garen vi hec j4 still can't touch a 6 item adc tho.
Nasus on the other hand makes a 6 item AD worthless. Wither make them move so slow, do no damages.
Just manage to get your team to stall till 40 minute mark you win erry game. Be a 5k HP 200/200 resistances freak who makes their AD useless and has a Q that does like +800 damage. In addition, gets AoE 5% per second Hp burn (which also gives him increased AD) on his ult. Nasus R so strong in League of Warmogs, even if you just sticking to one tank for one second you prolly going to hit the max AD bonus from his R, if you running at their AD you probably going to get like +500 AD with everyone trying to peel you.
You can win 45 minute games where other team like 10-15k gold ahead.

How you going to stop a Taric, Thresh, Alistar, Lulu, Lux, Nautilus, Blitz, Sona, Leona or Zyra from just poking your balls off / just hard engaging on you? You can't use arrow every trade...
Its not like you can expect your jungler to pressure bottom that hard either because bottom ridiculously hard to gank always 2+ wards down there unless one just expire.
I don't buy it, think you just get totally crushed by any competent bot lane if you rush Avarice while having no trading ability. Only Support I could see not just totally zoning you is like Soraka, but no one plays Soraka anymore.

Actually Cash Ashe is very good and thus far I've had a 100% win rate with it in every game, me being upper diamond 2 low diamond 1 currently. I also fielded it at a LAN. Ashe is assumed by the general community to have a weak laning phase. But the more I play her the more I feel that is false. Pair her win sona or zyra and you have a very strong lane with a devastating level 6. Every game I have gone WEWEWRWEWQEQQQ etc, doran's first, shove real hard level 1-3, abusing your LVL 1 dominance, and with that early shove shop fast at 800 gold. This doesn't put you behind lane trade wise because they either are still in lane or are backing too cuz you shoved fast. Q is unneeded due to double cc ults for optimum gank support. The average bonus gold I get is 900-1200 by 18-20 minutes without a TF on my team, it's about 1200-1600 with a TF. If you manage a kill or two you're astronomically ahead of the enemy adc.
People doubt cash Ashe but I've beaten folks like maplestreet and others in lane and just farmed hard and had a whole item up on the enemy adc even though they had more kills or towers, early E max and early avarice is broke as fuck on Ashe.
Also in regards to her trading ability, the most they'd have up on you during that avarice buy I'd a longsword or boots, which are both minimal. With sona or zyra cash Ashe is amazingly broken, and is only susceptible to heavy all in lanes, which then become free lanes when you both hit 6 and get free kills with jungler on command whenever you desire cuz all in lanes have to overextend to maintain lane control. To do this you also have to understand ashes power curves and how to appropriately abuse her range and auto W counter initiate harass.

Swiftness boots + ancient golem makes nasus basically unkiteable. Love it.
Also on ashe vs actually good players, you maxing hawkshot ends up with you getting +a little gold on that 1-2 creeps you might get per wave because you do no damage and can't actually do anything in lane ever. Good players punish you for that. Good players don't care that you're playing passive. Good players get their j4 buddy to shove his 6 foot spear so far up your tiny frosted hole that you cough out popsicles, even if you're sitting at your tower going "look at the extra 5 gold i'm getting from the single creep!"
Edit: granted, ggod, you had a cait that somehow seriously lost lane hard, so I wouldn't consider all the people you play with as good ;p Although you do play super fricken safe. From your ahri game just how safe you played on someone with 3 blinks built in was mind boggling lol. Also tour scenario, minus the 0 q lvls, isn't as bad as what the other guy was proposing (from the looks of it). Maxing e second is different than e max first, you still have max w so you can trade and wave clear just like a normal ashe build. The only think you're sacrificing is small percentage changes in q's slow.

I wish. why wish when you can? Seriously rushing Avarice blade on her is so retarded when you max e first. If you skip Shiv for PD and you get 180-200 CS at the 25-28 minute mark. You end up with an extra 2k+ gold which pays for the blade and gives you extra for another BF or starting your LW. And it doesnt matter if you lose lane early, you come back so fast because of the passive gold it's like you werent behind in the first place. The math is +7 gold per minion with full E and avarice. That a 1/3 ranged creep every CS. That's not even including the fact you might have a TF on your team.
If I faced this, ashe would end up looking sad and zoned as the lane is frozen and shes too weak to stop me from freezing it.

Given the amount of gap closers there isn't that much of an impetus for taking q over e. considering that Ashe will buy shiv anyway because of the advantageous crit interaction buying avarice and playing safe will not put you significantly behind compared to other starts. In addition volley is strong in keeping waves off the tower so Ashe while typically thought of having a weak laning phase actually does a lot better than most people expect in the early push wars that usually occur.
I mean do you ever get into lane as Ashe and just say "I want to fight them"? Unless you're laning against vayne/soraka probably not. This means that being a bit weaker early probably isn't that big of a deal you were t going to engage anyway so losing a bit of strength does not prevent you from making plays. You were always going to try to disengage against an enemy fight so having a bit less damage doesn't really stop you from doing that and since you're weak in and extended fight every enemy wants to fight you so you're not making it so you can be engaged upon

Seriously though, the nerfs for pretty much all OP champs atm that are on PBE don't seem harsh enough. I main jungle Vi and I don't think 8 AD will do enough, same with xin/kayle q etc. Nerfs need to be harsher imo.
I also don't really agree with all the people whining about how ADC is useless now but o well.
