*The choice to hold off on a point in Q in favor of Hawkshot at level 2:*

This is generally a higher-Elo thing, or against specific junglers. Your warding, map awareness, and wave control should be enough to get you through to Level 3-5 if you've felt out the enemy and can find and abuse your level spikes off your range. If you're in a rough matchup the enemy is actually executing on and can't get value out of your Q, you won't be shoved up far enough for the Hawkshot to matter for your own lane, anyway-- FWIW, Lolalytics Plat+ doesn't even display a 2nd point in Volley before Level 4 in either tab.

*As for a 2nd point in W before taking Q:*

Q is not "1% more damage on all of your autoattacks" as stated in the video at 5:28 .

The Attack reset on Q plus 5% bonus damage on the second and every subsequent auto is worth more than twice as much damage in just the first two autos as the difference between a rank 1 and 2 Volley landing on two targets (more than four times as much to a single target). And it costs 20 less mana than using just Volley. (All without factoring in the 20% attack speed on the 3rd+ auto, if a longer trade)
So if you're interested in shoving the wave towards Level 4 along with your trade (esp. versus a strong pushing lane), while not spending mana on both abilities, then a second point of Volley helps you do that, but if you're taking even a short trade with your Q stacked, the first rank of Q is more damage to champions than the rank-up on W, especially if one champion is hidden behind the other or the wave. Taking just the reset auto trade and then draining the rest of your Q into the wave also shoves it.

The cooldown incentive on W rank-up matters a lot less than it used to since the mana cost was nerfed hard.

So the missing part of that puzzle is the range, cooldowns, and sustain vs. your support (and/or biscuits) of your lane opponents. And whether the wave is in a state where you can stack Q and then look to poke/trade.
Versus Caitlyn/Jinx and Bard/Sona/Soraka/Zyra/Janna e.g., you probably want the second point in W. But versus anything shorter ranged or with less sustain, you can bully them with Q.

The more relevant question this leads to is to ask yourself:
Do you want a 2nd rank of Volley at level 3, putting Hawkshot off to Level 4.

Answering that involves:
1. Who is the enemy Jungler, and Where did they start?
2. Have we seen the jungler on wards or in a lane yet?
3. How hard can I bully my lane opponents with 4 points in combat abilities? Do I have that dominance? Can I afford that mana?
4. What happens to the wave, our reset timings, and Dragon priority if I go through with this?
5. What can my Jungler or even Mid-laner do if we spot exactly where the enemy jungler is and/or what camps they have up?

The answer is usually no, just have a point in all your abilities at Level 3.
But there have even been games where we already have the enemy jungler in vision so often, dominant posture in Bot lane, and control over bot-lane brush for that matter, that I've neglected Hawkshot until level 5

ASHE. The only ADC that supports her support. This is why I loved Ashe even back. Her kit is just complete aside from mobility. I m just worried thata nerf might be incoming

[deferdefer]

A guide for ashe adc just at the right moment, you guys are smart

[Crimson_Moon]

As an ashe main, this guide super freaking helpfull. thanks :D

[Arvensa]

1:00 -- Obviously the reset is still a good fundamental, and you should still do it, but here are the nitpicky reasons it's not quite as big of a deal as the video stresses:

1. Auto-attack Resets are actually less important the higher your attack speed is, not more.

2. The 20% Attack-speed steroid also affects the windup of an opening attack with Q on, so it's not 100% of an attack timer that you're missing if you don't use it as a reset.

3. According to the Wiki, each individual hit of Ashe's Q applies Frost Shot and calculates its bonus damage independently. So if you open with a Q-empowered attack rather than using it as an auto-reset, then you're only missing that extra first auto and the bonus damage of a single shard of Q (out of 5, and if this is the first Q of the fight, and if you didn't open with W).

It's a lot more important to thread your W, R, or even E between autos than to hit every reset off Q.
(Especially because it can even get a little finicky at max range and not hitting it at just the right time can bind up your auto commands and cost you autos and even forward movement depending on how you input everything)

Phreak mentions all of this in his Patch 9.19 Rundown, the patch that re-instated the full auto-reset on Ashe's Ranger's Focus.

thank you guys, I started at LOL about 4 months ago, and Ashe has been my main since then, I had tried several combinations and builds and the one here is one of the most effective builds I use on my matches, still Im Bronze but thats because Im a bad player in general, not that the build is incorrect, thank you for the tips, I hope one day be good enough.

[infantryplankton]

I also disagree on your Hawkshot. I do what I call Rivershotting where you full-map hawk shot down the river. It helps the team wayyyy more. Allows them to spot pinks, ganks, and gives better objective control. You still spot the jungler half of the time too.

[nickmontgomery]

The guy is allergic to hitting that last Braum passive 😆

How to Rank up with Ashe.
Point 1: buy 1 of her legendary skins.
Point 2: you are good to go.

[jeeves]

Before engaging a target, use W to apply your passive slow, so that the very first auto attack deals bonus damage.

*I loved this video!* I am an Ashe main and I was looking for any tiny edge I can find to be able to rank up.
I can do well with her, but I feel like I can't carry the game if all my other lanes feed. I have learned a little bit more on this video for sure that I'm going to be using.


The suggestion that I would like to add is:
I am going to be getting "Infinity Edge" *FIRST* instead of "Blade of the Ruined King", assuming of course that their team or their bot lane are very squishy with low health champions.

The fact that you get extra damage from her passive while having the crit damage from ie makes your earlier game wave clear much easier, especially if you manage to get the B.F. Sword on the first back. Being that you do not have the life steal early game, I would suggest to use "Triumph" instead of "Presence of Mind"

With not having the botrk movement steal, ie crit chance should be slowing them more often through her passive, **albeit - it is a 20-25% chance early on** - I feel it could improve both the kiting and chasing aspects of her kit, even later on if another crit item is implemented in lieu of botrk

In those games that botrk is not needed, the life steal from "Death's Dance" would be a must (likely as the third item still since "Runaan's Hurricane" is way too good on Ashe for a second item, especially to stack the crit to 50% at that point), and a "Phantom Dancer" or a "Guardian Angel" is good substitute for survivability later on.


*Let me know what you think about this suggestion* ^_^

*Have a wonderful day everyone!*

[CsarQcho]

Recently I've been playing manamune on ashe and it works perfectly! Thoughts?

[NeonBeansII]

After this guide, I went 8/1 in my game. It is very useful

[augustvctjuh]

hmm i already knew all of this besides to build death's dance
was expecting more info about matchups due to the title but i feel like that was skipped over

[biggideal]

Good video, but I wish you'd have a section on how to team fight, and how to position during team fights (your roles, and primary targets, etc)

[tesdelt]

Hey there, I disagree on several things on building and runes. 1st of all is the BOTRK. I feel that it’s useful mostly against tanky enemies and it works well,
but for squishy targets the raw dmg is much better. So instead of it, you can rush essence reaver. It gives you flat AD, Crit early on, Cooldown reduction which is very good for using her ult more often and lastly the mana regen. And here comes the rune change. You don’t need presence of mind, so you can take the overheal safely. You lack lifesteal? Take the bloodline instead of attack speed. And here comes the real deal. Why do you need to attack faster if the enemy is slowed anyway, it doesn’t give any benefit. Standard build would be then: ER, IE, Runaan’s (already 75% crit and 12% lifesteal if stacked). Then look for situational items like Lord dominik’s regard/Mortal reminder, GA or even Randuin’s omen against heavy AD or Wit’s end/Maw against AP whichever suits better. In late you can change Runaan’s for PD for extra safety. I’d not recommend DD after recent nerfs for ranged champs. If you are getting killed even with this build without it, then you should position yourself better.

[jemaripano]

ok that was way more advanced than i thought it would be. Lil bit too much for me with lvl 23 XD

[EagleEye_SGHQ]

You forgot to mention - getting a good support who knows what support role is - HELPS too... And not the support who takes adc's cs and steals your kills when it was possible to leave for adc to snowball....
In the video its shown a perfect conditions which will never happen bellow Platinum rank... Which is - a proper support who does leave the kills for adc even when he could very easily ks the kill, but instead leaves it; properly preventing enemy team from reaching Ashe, while in low elo supports would run away and leave adc behind and many other examples from the video footage etc.

[christiankitani]

Just try manamune ashe and you will not be disappointed.. its actually crazy
