Hi guys, I'm SmokeyCannon and this is my guide on how to play Ashe. I currently have mastery level 5 on her, and I am not the most experienced with her, but she was my first main and I just wanted to make a guide on her for my friends. Here you will find out how to build her using items like Runaan's Hurricane, her combos, some of her strengths and weaknesses, and tips and tricks.

Pros:
- Volley is good for poking for draining health
- Frost Shot makes kitting and chasing easier, especially with Press the Attack
-Her Ranger's Focus can shred tanks.
-Her Enchanted Crystal Arrow is amazing during team fights.
-Using Enchanted Crystal Arrow it is possible to steal baron if the enemy that was hit was near it.
-Easy to play.

Ashe is probably the easiest AD carry to play right now. Simple mechanics, skill shots are simple, probably the perfect champion to play when you new to League of legends.

Cons:
-Lack of mobility
- Ranger's Focus requires being stacked.
- Enchanted Crystal Arrow can be dodged or blocked easily. ( Flash, Cleanse, Arcane Shift, Wind Wall, Featherstorm, and Spell Shield )
-Depends on teammates, abilities, and items like Infinity Edge by a lot.
-Low outplay potential
-Squishy.


Her lack of mobility really forces her to play behind the tanks. Her Enchanted Crystal Arrow requires skill. Either change the whole game with 1 arrow or use it in a stupid scenario and lose the game.

Flash is probably the most important Summoner Spell in the whole game. You can escape sticky situations or close gaps between you and your opponent.

Heal is mandatory on every single adc. Take it as your second summ spell at all times.

Exhaust should not be taken; ask your support dammit.

Ask your support. please.

Wha...Why would you take this anyways?

Very, very useful. It can save you from assassins with a bare health left, or even under tower as well.

Do:
-Play safe, but try to put some damage in as well.
-Kite.
-Build boots. Ashe isn't an assassin.
-Wait for that right moment for your Enchanted Crystal Arrow. Be patient.
Only use Enchanted Crystal Arrow when you are sure that you will hit the opponent.

Don't:
-Go all in.
-Buy Warmog's Armor. I've tried it. It's useless.
-Depend on your support. You need help from your support, but you don't depend on your support. Especially if your support doesn't have a healing ability. ( Thresh, Blitzcrank, Nunu & Willump, etc etc)

Tips and tricks
You can use your E to see where the opponent Jungler is.
use your E and check each lane if your opponent goes MIA. (Missing in action, or they aren't in lane)
Try to avoid CC. CC will insta-burst you. For example, Amumu's ult, Curse of the Sad Mummy
If you use your Volley and hit 5 different entities, you'll get your Ranger's Focus instantly.
The more crit you have, the more your arrows will slow the opponent due to your Frost Shot passive; which is why you rush Infinity Edge. This will help you kite.

The most common combo is probably the Auto Auto Auto Auto Auto Ranger's Focus then Volley to finish them off.

The combo I sometimes use is the Auto Auto Auto Auto Auto Enchanted Crystal Arrow, Ranger's Focus, then Volley to finish them off.

My suggestion is to use your Volley wisely. You can poke enemies with it, but save it up if your support is going all in. You can possibly use your Volley to finish both ADC and Support off.

Let's take a look at this image that I totally didn't take from Google. On our team we have a Teemo, Akali, Ryze, and someone with bad wifi. On their team they have a Nidalee, Nasus, Katarina, Zilean, and Cho'Gath. Both teams generally don't have much CC. We see that Akali is going against Katarina in the mid lane, which is an advantage to the Akali because Akali is Katarina's Counter. Ashe, or you are probably going against Zilean and Nidalee. We see that Ryze has Heal and Ghost as his Summoner Spells, which probably shows that he is new to the game. Since you, or Ashe is going against Zilean and Nidalee, it shows that you must know how to dodge Nidalee's Q, stay away from your support when Zilean's bomb lands on you, and play safely since Nidalee's ult can hurt. If Teemo is your support, then you may have an advantage since Nidalee is squishy early game, and Teemo's Q can hurt her.
