And just now, that on day two TSM was destroyed by 3 perfect arrows in a row, it starts getting hilarious IMO. It seems like even people at the very top level of play have completely forgotten about how to deal with Ashe's ultimate - wtf is going on? From my experience, a gamechanging arrow must be well aimed but requires a little luck in addition to be truly devastating. Inb4 Ashe becoming fotm. | ||

can she just not trade at all? i was up 40 cs and a kill on an enemy draven (ashe soraka v draven taric) and was still getting demolished in trades, nearly instantly bursted. is draven that strong, is taric that strong, or was i doing something wrong? should i just arrow other lanes and try to get my teammates fed or save arrow for jungle gank? i feel dominant some games and pathetic other games. the only thing that's really consistent is i always out-cs the enemy champ, but that's cause my elo is so low now that my girlfriend could out-cs them. how can i tell when i'm going to win a trade? do i all-in when i manage a crit? basically i just want an update on ashe because arrow is the best skill in the game and i want to master it/her | ||

ashe is particularly strong at 1 (with volley and free crit) and then only again at 6 so that 2-5 is rather awkward | ||

Laning is pretty much just volleying them whenever you have a clear shot and otherwise playing passive against an aggressive lane like draven taric or any aggressive lane in general. | ||

When you transition into the mid-late game is your time to shine. | ||

If you're saying that you are up on CS, then perfect, just keep at it. When you transition into the mid-late game is your time to shine. Depends on how well you can initiate ganks with arrow tbh. A good tip if you're on voice communication with mid, is to hit an arrow when you recall, because it will be alot harder for the enemy to notice (and it's easier to hit because it's a straight line), and most mid's should be able to utilize a proper arrow with a kill. | ||

It looks really fun if you're just planning to be a permaslow until you catch your IE. He was doing it vs. Curse NA. He did it 2 games in a row, one when they were a little behind, the other they were a little ahead. The magic damage proc did decent damage i guess. | ||

Edit: Black Cleaver is awesome. Rushing it, switching PD for Stinger (only for attack speed), then going for Last Whisper, another Black Cleaver and then a Phanton Dancer. Adding in survivability as needed. Gone from under 5 kills per game to 10+ consistently for 3 games. Sticking with this | ||

Also you need to do this kind of stuff in soloq becuase then ppl trust you to hit arrow at the right times and they will dive in if you shoot it. this is old news but it had to be said. You pretty much summed it up and I'm pretty sure that any half decent player knows about this. Lategame Ashe turns around whole games like she always did. The problem is that she doesn't really fit well into the current (professional gaming) metagame where tier one towers are falling at the 5th - 10th minute mark. Even if she is picked for her ultimate and permaslow, she still needs to be doing at least some DPS and these can only come from IE + PD eventually. With no inherent burst, she is not of much use compared to a 20 minute BT, DB, Boots2 Graves/Ezreal. In addition,she is naturally weak vs. all these popular divers (Noc, Khazix, Wukong) and unstoppable carry hunters (Irelia / Olaf) and thus became a niche pick in competitive play. She's still fine like she always was, but that's not what's needed right now. Only thing I can imagine is her surprise effect to wreck unprepared opponents. Her ultimate can really punish the current super aggressive playstyle, especially since I'm sure that not many teams are used to play against her (I guess friday's EU S3 qualifiers had one team [was it GIANTS?] successfully run her where her arrows just won three teamfights in a row by simply hitting someone out of position; you could observe really well that the caught players didn't resepect her arrow what lost them the game in the end). | ||

Ashe vs. KhaZix is too risky for me. | ||
