Actually picking Ashe is done almost exclusively for her crowd control, and 30% more volleys and Enchanted Crystal Arrows are definitely better than 'you do an extra 50% total AD damage on every aa after the first' because you have 4 other champions that are allowed to buy and deal a modicum of damage as well.

gimping your damage to slightly improve a support skill you won't be able to use more than once per teamfight anyway is not a winning strategy

Ashe Arrow is one of the strongest initiations in the game and being able to use it more is good

dota had a solo queue only mode before they added visible mmr queue and no one played it. now that there is visible mmr they have one rank for parties and one for solo, while both groups go into the same queue different numbers go up. i think riot will eventually do something like this.

the problem of "oh i got the troll 4man unlucky" still exists but in solo queue you can still get the 1 troll that can just as easily ruin the game for you so who cares. plus this makes group boosting or whatever idiot poo poo reddit was worried about not viable compared to the old "play on your account" boosting.

Also Ashe isn't a hyper-carry she is a utility ADC. The only hypercarries left are Vayne, Twitch and maaaaaybe Jinx.

you think ashe is a utility carry because you are deliberately buying items that reduce her damage output significantly

I'm starting to realize I just don't like ranked queue. In normals, I can expect things like:

1. A support that actually wards (a little) and doesn't steal farm.
2. Friendly teammates.
3. A jungler that ganks before L19.
4. Lane opponents that don't just shove you up under tower leaving you desperately pinging for a jungler who would rather come in after you and your support are dead, and make it a clean triple for the enemy ADC.
5. A trolls every 10 games, as opposed to every other game.

Rather than the gongshow of ranked.

i dunno, many of us don't like regular babies posting about how their anecdotal experiences prove whatever childish trappings of the mind led them to a conclusion such as "ranked is an overall worse experience than normals" when you literally just described any old game of low ranked league of legends (normals, by the way, actually have a matchmaking/ranking system, but it is invisible)


drat man, why are you throwing your duo partner to the wolves, that is entirely uncalled for! :mad:
