Madred's is good when the enemy team stacks armor and you may not be doing as much damage anymore. It is very rare for the game to prolong long enough to actually build GA or Madred's anyway. GA may be a requirement lategame when you don't really need more damage but more of a second life, it all depends. I've experimented with both masteries, 21/0/9 and 15/0/15, and I find with 21/0/9 I really need boots of swiftness, it's just a personal preference. Chaox also builds like this, this guide was actually based off of chaox's build.

I see your points though.

Guardians Angel doesn't seeem like a bad choice, but it's not really the best choice. Neither is Madreds for Ashe. Your looking for those higher crits and lifesteal works wonders for any Ad carry in a 1v1 situation(not that there should be any). I recommend a bloodthirster instead of madreds.

EDIT: Your masteries would be better off as 21/0/9 standard. The 4% damage boost and the 10% crit damage is alot better than extra ms(phantom dancer n boots) and the reduced cooldown on flash(really...)

Yeah I almost never get Guardian Angel unless the game prolongs itself for a VERY long time, it is usually an end-game item (the last item in my slot after selling my Doran's blades'). Getting a phantom dancer early can be good depending on the situation, if you're dying easily early then you should probably get the banshee's veil first as it will help with survivability.

I tested this build but i skipped over banshees veil...It is nothing to Guardian angel.
I suggest you to take Phanton dancer rather then banshees veil.

Hey guys, thanks for the tips, I updated my guide so that I could show icons and I added a few minor details too. About the movement speed, Ashe has slow movement speed in general, that's why going 15/0/15 helps her movement speed a lot, going boots of swiftness isn't a bad choice but I just prefer berserker's greaves by a lot, with this build it makes Ashe less of a support/carry and more of a real carry who is able to deal more damage in less time.

The thing is, with these masteries and build, her movement speed isn't actually bad because zeal, boots 2 and phantom dancer all make her much faster. She also has so many slows that she is good at kiting, and can still chase and kill anyone like a boss. If you have good positioning, map awareness and game sense, then you really don't need to use flash/ghost that much.

Just try the build out :) I just played a game and had well over 400 move speed by the end of the match

lol man 345 of movement speed? remember u are ashe a carry champion u need mora than 345 of movement speed. my ashe build have more than 400 and nevertheless i need flash and ghost so dont give me a answer saying that ghost and flash solve the problem.

Having icons instead of links would make reading the guide easier. That said, it's a good set up. +1

pretty nice guide all and all i really did not see much wrong besides the item planner links witch i thought was neat so i give a nice +1 i play with a guide like all the time but i use swiftness boots
