I will take a note on this and try it sometimes.

I think it might be OK.

The 4 seconds W is definitely not the limiting factor. TF has such a clusterfuck of different stats that very few champions can use all of them (except maybe Corki). It really depends on what Ashe needs, not TF's efficiency in absolute terms.

OK is probably the appropriate amount of enthusiasm. You don't love all the raw stats like Corki does, and you don't get to take advantage of the on-hit like Ezreal does. But you're essentially rushing a defensive item that happens to give you reasonably good offensive stats in the process.

On Ashe you should be going double dorans -> avarice -> (BF/Zerks/Zeal) -> (finish IE/Shiv) -> (BotRK/LW) pretty much always. Triforce as a last item over BT/GB/PD/GA is debatable but I'd pretty much always want BT/GB/PD for offense over it and for defense I'd rather have BT/GA/Banshee's. I just can't see situations where I'd want a Triforce over anything in the build except MAYBE a Phantom Dancer, but IE/PD synergy is just too strong imo.

His kit sounds cool as fuck. Also I really like his overall design.

Hard CC? Check!

Scales on CDR? Check!

Hard Zone? Check

Really coll stuff, love that sand theme.

But
"With these weaknesses in place, we could make the soldiers very strong indeed; imagine if I told you that, given the right setup, your basic attack has 1200 range and hits units in an AOE."

Sounds like fun (no it doesn't)

This guy is going to be really hard to balance, I'm not looking forward to it.

He is like Orianna with a dash and more than one ball.

I'm curious as whether the images can crit or apply onhits, because that changes how you'd build him.

They say it's a autoattack based mage. Also cdr gives him/his soldiers aspd. I guess Nashor would be good?

Also I wonder how he will interact with lichbane...

Gonna be a lot of weird stuff going on with that guy. And don't get me started on Runaan's hurricane lol

Wow Valve, can you think of any original hero concepts? Earth Spirit is an exact copy of Azir.

Eeeeh. On one hand, I love that they're command with radically different stuff. That's one of the things they'd been missing for awhile.
On the other hand, why you keep defensive kits over hard initiation when the game's shown it sorely misses it? ;_;
I wonder what the implications of his passive mean for pushing (he can already do it very safely and reliably through his W as it seems), apparently if he just walks up to a destroyed turret and make his wave meet the enemy wave there, it's efficient auto-pushing and he can just run away and rejoin his team.

Obesechicken, that's not even some effort. Try harder.

So he spawns melee turrets and ganks like a Jarvan. Sounds like a top lane bully who will get nerfed and still be a very strong jungler. It looks like his soldiers will replace his auto attack and don't actually attack on their own.
