Her matchups against Lissandra, Jayce, Elise, and Vayne are pretty brutal too

In which case shouldn't Kha6 be the true counter to Shyv?
I feel like the cool thing about this thread, and forum, is that its just as much about the people posting as it is the game itself.

Yes I mean it was the best raid in the expansion! Just they nerfed the modes prematurely(like a few weeks after release wtf?) It was my favorite expansion though.
Rag/Chogall/Nef were my favorite fights in the entire expansion though

Ashe has my best winrate I think (something like 70%)
I don't even know why. Whenever I pick her I fail in lane and go like 0-6-0 and buy brutalizer because fuck it I can't afford anything else and then somehow win the game later randomly.
I like to think it's because my lategame decision making / teamfighting is really good but it's probably just because I act like a global taunt so mid and top get lots of farm and then I just play support ashe throwing out arrows randomly (CDR => more arrows! brutalizer ashe op)
Edit: Khazix is clearly Bug/Dark

If there hadn't been the tangent on WoW the thread would have just been dead during that period of time, we didn't lose talk about LoL. I guess I just like when the forum is active. I agree completely. Never played wow. Only played pokemon casually, and haven't played MtG since 9th edition. But I still find the discussions rather interesting.

People forget the original GD thread for this subforum was called "General Discussion/Off-topic". The only reason the off-topic part was shaved off was because when we prepend the patch name/number it becomes hard to reasonably fit that into the title.
So off-topic discussion is fair game.

ashe is amazing in low-elo solo queue because arrow is like the game's great equalizer. you can count on the enemy 6-item carry to be farming in the middle of some pushed lane for no reason in like 90% of cases, so just arrowing down a lane will net your teammates kills -> you push for objectives. when i'm stuck on support and don't want to play rengar, i play a lot of ashe simply for this reason.
and yeah khazix is bug/dark (mecha khazix bug/steel) skarner rock/bug rengar dark riven fighting teemo poison shyvana fire/dragon seems right ashe ice

But we still have on topic discussions all the time. For example, we love to talk about whether one should run flat damage or penetration runes.

I apologize if people are angry around the off topic discussion. Let's just say I'm not slightly drunk and nostalgic about the good times. This community is the most open and welcoming around so felt like the place to get a bit off topic

So wait... you play support Rengar?
I feel like Rengar and Ashe would be Normal type as well.

I don't think win percentage on a champion is a very good metric until at least 30 games.
There are so many times I thought I had a good champion because I had 80%, but that was just 8-2 and it would then equalize itself very quickly.

Because I was doing so well I continued to play Ashe whenever I got stuck on ADC. I got so bored of her (and winning despite sucking) that I stopped. I had about 60 games on her.

Is it safe to call LifeSteal Quints the new meta on Marksmen? (there Riot I said it)
But what's the deal with half of the people running 4% and the other half running 6%. Am I missing something or is that extra 2.25 AD/2.56 Apen hitting a certain break point?

Never apologize for off topic in this thread. It's exactly how this thread should be. I find it more odd that someone complained about a few people enjoying some random non-LoL talk. As far as I can remember, off-topic is normal for this thread, and it should always be like this. Plus, how difficult it is for people to ignore a few posts. It's not as if the majority of people read full posts unless they are interested in the topic anyways.
