One of the many problems with Ashe is that her kit is so eclectic. Her passive (especially at lower levels) promotes very short trades. Her Q supports extended, moving fights (and also requires good amove skill to use effectively). Her W is just a general sort of poke (which, admittedly, becomes pretty strong at higher levels). Her E is, again, a general sort of utility skill with a couple nice benefits but not much synergy with anything else. Her ult, as frost said, is fucking broken but a) not really called for at the moment and b) not in line with the rest of her kit, as it's a mix of catch and all-in (and, amusingly, is designed in such a way that it's most effective either supporting someone in another part of the map or in Season 1 Ashe TP tactics).

I like Ashe, she was the first champion I ever played (and also the first I ever stomped with), but her kit is a mess of different playstyles which come together to be pretty meh.

Good luck with that, Season five starts today :P

bluuuh... i've been going through phases of being "Haha... this game is pretty fun." and "holy shit this game sucks dick i'm useless"
Anyone got any ideas on how to spice things up and make it fun even if I go 0/20/0?

Playing with friends, while drunk (if you're of age), or both, preferably with voice chat.

I rarely play without at least one other person unless I am just doing an ARAM for a quick win IP bonus.

Yeah, I usually play with friends but that makes me complain more about how I'm doing because I know I'm complaining to someone and not the air XD
I guess what I really meant was that if anyone had a fun build for a fun champ to just... ya know... have fun.

I may or may not have mentioned full AD Blitzcrank earlier. TONS OF DAMAGE! Plus everyone is conditioned to ignore him as a major source of damage, so its fun surprising them. Not viable at all, but still hilarious. Full AP Taric, before his scalings were removed, was pretty cool too.

IDK about anyone else, but my track records is playing worse when I'm with people I know. Mostly because the friends I have who don't rage and I don't care about doing badly with don't play League.

If you're already at the point of no return and your team refuses to surrender, focus on killing one (squishy) enemy at any cost. It's mildly amusing and annoys them quite often. More productively, splitpush forever and tell your team to pressure other lanes. Yes, even if you're AP Ezreal and take twenty seconds to kill a wave.

My lord I god damn hate AP Ezreal's pushing power. It's one of the funnest things to do in the game (play AP Ezreal, that is) but is clearing sucks aaaaaassss. Once you have a Lich Bane it's mildly better (but still unfathomably terrible.) The only champ I can think of that MIGHT have worse pushing is Poppy or a Rammus that isn't being focused by the minions.
Also, I wish they'd finally make his passive actually affect the AP build as well. I mean, it's called rising SPELL force and all it does is increase his attack speed.
Another change I'd like to see would be making his E either prioritize champions or be instantaneous like Flash and Shunpo. That would actually make him good at kiting. At the moment he's kind of slightly above average.
Seriously, make his E like flash. That way you could actually use it to dodge skillshots rather than just for jumping over walls.

Depends on the skillshot. I've lost a game because an Ez dodged my Anivia Q with his E at a particularly inauspicious time and proceeded to murderize our undefended nexus.

Actually, I'd swear your hitbox persists for a moment after you jump. I don't think you're in two places at once, but your hitbox doesn't transfer at the same time you visually do.

Isn't Anivia's Q one of the slowest skillshots in the game?

I reckon a fair few of them would require scripting if you wanted to have any hope of doing so. (That is, the Ez E activates at the same time their skillshot leaves their character.)
I mean, take Xerath's Q. That has a fair delay, but taking human reaction times into account, if you were actually reacting to the skillshot itself (and not just lucking out with when you press E) you'd get clipped by it.

Maybe. I love her anyways. And Xerath's Q, with boots, is perfectly dodgeable by walking out of the way. Its always hilarious dodging like a ninja from all your lane opponents damage.


I am 1-1 in ranked now. D:

Same. The game I WON, oddly enough, was a 4v5 with our Graves disconnected. Still carried as Lissandra. Who is my favourite champion right now. Good damage, high mobillity, excellent cc and is still a rare pick, which satisfies my inner hipster.

I really wanna give learning Anivia a shot, she seems quite fun.

Arvasti... T_T. The Point.

Your Head.

Either that or you'er just choosing not to recognise it.

I know you can dodge Xerath's Q by walking out of it. The point is that you probably can't do it with Ezreal's E because of that incredibly irritating channel time. I mean, sure, it's funny watching Blitz hooks fizzle, but it would be worth it missing out on that if it made Ezreal's E actually useful for dodging stuff.

Ez's E is broken enough as it is. No need for an instant cast time, thanks.

EDIT: I derp a un-double negative.

Yeah, Anivia is ridiculously powerful[Two basic abilities which effectively have 100% AP ratios, an AOE stun and slow, really good clear, a revive passive and one of the most powerful utility abilities in the game? AWESOME!], but is out of place amongst people who bounce/dash around and murder things quickly. We need more Anivias. Birds for the bird throne~!
