[quote=Nighthawk]dat grammar number 1[/quote]

[quote=ExamplePrime]Yeah could you retype that please Xiron?[/quote]

[quote=StPirest]Some people think ashe is bad and that too easy to die. That true if the summoner cant keep distance and stand wrong position. I play ashe manytimes and i think ashe is not an easy champ, holding position and using her untill in the right way is never easy for summoners :D.[/quote]

[quote=Sutherland]My view on Ashe is that the nerf to her arrow was never really what affected her if the meta had remained the same at the time Ashe would still be used as much as Caitlyn or Graves and the like. However, the meta did not remain the same Riot now push the aggressive play style a lot harder and it has led to champions such as Shyvana and Fizz and Volibear and bla bla bla I could list loads, the bottom line is Ashe does not like Aggressive play towards her. She is no longer as safe as she once was there are lots of champions that are used all the time now that simply Ashe cant kite, this leads to her death more that say Caitlyn who has a jump away and a trap that will show danger early, Graves has his dash away and Kog'maw has a massive slow, Vayne has her roll and so on. Simply Ashe is just as viable when it comes to damage she is an AD carry and will always have damage but she doesn't have mobility and this simply plays against her in the current meta.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Ashe is selected for her utility. Utility nerfed = bad Ashe. Still viable, just outshined by others. SUPPORT ASHE NEW META !!![/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]My masteries are 21/0/9. For summoners I get smite for jungling and rally for that extra boost for my ultimate and volley. For my starting items, I get a dorans blade. Then I get a sheen and quickly build that into a trinity force to deal tons of damage. I max out hawkshot at level 8 so I can get that extra farm. Tons of money equals tons of items which equals tons of damage. I max out volley second so that I can land it, for it is a skill shot nuke that deals tons of damage. I max out frost arrow last and it slows people down so I can deal tons of damage to them with my triforce and volley spam. I put a point in enchanted crystal arrow so I can deal tons of damage by stunning them with a enchanted crystal arrow so that it gives me triforce proc so I can deal tons of damage. That concludes my ashe champion spotlight. Push the +rep button at the top of the post and subscribe to my blog at http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/blog/toshabi. So ashe, what did you want me to do with this apple again to get off a really shitty joke at the end of the video? Ashe- No really put that apple on your head. Duuhhhhhhh okay. *arrow being shot sound effect* You have been slain.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]I think a lot of the reason Ashe fell out of viability was due to power creep. I was only a low level when this happened, but I believe Ashe wasn't too popular during the "hyper carry" meta - that is, the meta where twitch, miss fortune, and kog'maw reigned supreme. Then they got nerfed. Then, it became that corki and ashe were the best AD carries. Both laners that were only okay. There wasn't much "super strong laner" opposition, because it was all nerfed to combat the hyper carry meta. Then, Vayne. Caitlyn got buffed. Kog'maw got buffed. People realized Tristana's virtues as a laner. Graves came out. Basically, the lane went from "passive farm" to "passive farm with a buttload of poke". Ashe just couldn't compare to these new hyper-carries, who can all out-perform her in lane and in damage late-game. She's still useful, but the role of carry has been redefined to be focused so heavily on damage that the CC that ashe offers isn't useful in as many team comps because CC from the off-tank, the mage, the jungler, and the support is basically required.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Caitlyn's buffs were a [i]long[/i] time before Dreamhack/her becoming popular, people just didn't notice how strong she was.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Well put Sutherland.[/quote]
