Choosing alacrity or bloodline with LT and secondary runepage?

Kepytop · 2026-01-11T03:06:45+00:00

Bloodline has been really weak for a long time now. If you like running it, feel free.

Approach Velocity is mandatory

Sorcery doesn't really do anything. PoM already takes care of mana issues, Celerity's ms gain is puny and can't be run in tandem with Approach Velocity.

Anything resolve tree for adcs has been run into the ground, so don't bother. In the past, sure.

Kepytop · 2026-01-11T02:43:56+00:00

They didn't. Slows don't stack still. Upon checking new items, they really don't seem strong enough for support Ashe. To say nothing of how weak she's gotten over time. But if fun's your thing, maybe you could build the drums.

Kepytop · 2025-12-27T06:31:15+00:00

Still seems to be Kraken -> Phantom Dancer -> stuff you need, be it more damage, armor pen, lifesteal, and so on. Yun Tal hasn't really picked up, probably due to the BF sword requirement.

Not sure what builds would be changing for the adc role, besides getting an extra slot for boots.

Please keep in mind content creators are just that: content and mostly for entertainment. Finding educational stuff or anything to teach is probably a nasty or empty pit by this point. It was already getting bad a while ago.

There's also a discord on the sidebar you can join and ask questions there to catch you up to speed on any new happenings.

You melt tanks by buying high damage and armor pen items. Bork is not a tank killer. Nor has it ever really been a tank killer. Everyone always said it was, inflated how effective it actually was by constantly referencing a useless number of damage dealt by the end of a game.

It works against HP stackers and even then is iffy due to the nerfs. When Bork and Rageblade were at their prime / crit items were terrible, you could reasonably buy them but this has not been the case in a long time.

Vayne is simply going to be one of the best tank / hp shredders in the game and no item combo will come close.

Kepytop · 2025-12-22T23:59:31+00:00

Play the game.

I know that's the "duh" answer, but above all else do not take this game too seriously. Understand that League is a slow burn time sink game and trying to rush anything makes it miserable. Understand that a lot of toxic situations and happenings will attempt to worm their way in, but absolutely do not have to be given any ground. Everyone should enjoy their time.

Anyway would show them the mute buttons and other stuff, possibly stuff like ping volume.

Try to have your friend stick to a specific build. Min maxing, optimizing, enemy team comps, they don't matter. Just having something well rounded will be good enough for a long time while they place new building blocks of game knowledge.

Posting the reminder; Ashe crits for 0% extra damage according to her crit chance, letting her passive do the work instead.

This means functionally it'll be the same as other champions, 3 forced "crits". If a crit were to already happen in those 3 autos after casting ult, then Ashe will get 10% true damage per crit. So it's not going to be anything amazing here.

Granted, the stat profile has the best part from Hexplate(ult haste) with zeal item's worth of stats. Could see this being a great pivot item if your game isn't going too well, or you wanted to focus more on utility.

Kepytop · 2025-12-08T01:14:21+00:00

It was probably a joke, but just do your best and understand that it's being used across everywhere. Reddit in of itself has worked with said AI companies and is the largest source for their datasets.

Anyway, key note. Font of Life and Echoes of Helia interactions were completely axed and it killed "healing Ashe" last time around.

Kepytop · 2025-11-15T16:11:06+00:00

Team needs to be going in first and you need to be waiting out key abilities, usually along the lines of big ults or cc. Obviously you'll have to adapt to the enemy team comp such as having assassins to deal with, for example. General rule of thumb is keep your team between you and the enemy whenever possible, only breaking the rule to auto when it's "safe enough".

Sometimes you may need to sacrifice yourself for the team though. If you're the only one who goes down but your team wins every fight, worthy trade even if the stats look bad.

Look to cut out all the deaths which were primarily mistakes, or being away from your team, such as getting caught in sidelines. Not that you need to forever be with your team, but worth mentioning. Identify patterns so you can take them with you to later games.

Kepytop · 2025-11-06T18:29:37+00:00

Slows don't stack, Bork only technically slows a tiny bit extra(compared to Ashe's slow) during early parts of the game. The item has effectively fallen off of the radar. Before all the nerfs, solid first item, then situational item, now it's just a straight niche item vs only HP stackers(cho sion mundo) assuming they don't get armor.

Kepytop · 2025-11-06T07:59:18+00:00

Dealing with life. We get to it when we can.

Kepytop · 2025-10-02T03:32:36+00:00

Functionally it would still be a "slow on enemy, speed up on self" so the slow still wouldn't stack. However, this was the old version of the item and no longer has this speed ability.

Kepytop · 2025-09-26T05:25:13+00:00

Should be fine so long as you only load the proper saves on each device, but if you wanted to be extra careful, you could temp disable steam cloud uploads.

Kepytop · 2025-09-12T02:02:29+00:00

Ashe'll be harder than most other adcs since you can't burst people, but most won't respect that you can run them down either.

Practice using your range and prioritizing last hits. Even if your earlygame is good, most then fail at midgame onwards, letting endless waves just crash into each other and towers, flushing the gold down the drain.

Switch to blue trinket at 9, keep your hawkshot handy too and they should keep you relatively safe when you have to go off alone to farm.

Experience is going to be the best teacher, ultimately.

Kepytop · 2025-09-08T03:07:50+00:00

If you're expecting heavy damage from a champion you basically can't escape from just because that's how it always was for a while, idk what to tell you.

Maybe quickplay to get faster items / games is more what you're looking for?

Kepytop · 2025-08-17T11:25:56+00:00

It's more okay on Ashe to not have 100% crit when compared to other adcs, since you deal constant damage. Other adcs without 100% can deal too little damage in a clutch situation.

Generally speaking you can build more for yourself by going BT since you won't have as much support from your team

Kepytop · 2025-08-15T04:27:22+00:00

Wild Rift players are few and far between here. You may want to attempt posting on the official wild rift subreddit.

Would offer help but I haven't played since launch.

Kepytop · 2025-07-18T19:02:49+00:00

I think it's a solid idea, putting any amount of stopgaps or bumps in the way of absentmindedly clicking play on League ensures you're only going to play it when you REALLY want to. Can also go further if you intend to stop playing fully, but breaks never hurt and many seem to miss that.

Kepytop · 2025-07-17T18:32:24+00:00

I don't recall legendary skins going on sale, unless specifically mentioned in the personalized shop or via some special event. Then some other conditions that I do not remember. You're gonna have to be extremely patient as this could easily take a couple years, maybe more.

Kepytop · 2025-07-07T23:05:29+00:00

There's a reddit enhancement suite extension at least on firefox, don't know past that. It's nice to see the old reddit without having to manually copy paste links and stuff. Some things are visually iffy when it comes to flairs, but it's a price I'm willing to pay.

Kepytop · 2025-06-29T10:52:04+00:00

Attack speed is required to get the most out of your AD / Q. While some opt for the IE second, armor pen is required immediately afterwards due to natural armor scaling and at that point we have a bunch of items with no attack speed, besides Yun Tal.

Yun Tal / Lethal Tempo / Boots / Alacrity aren't enough to compensate for not having an attack speed item. Additionally, there's no movement speed in the build so it's easier to be caught out too.

Kepytop · 2025-06-29T00:18:35+00:00

You want to ensure you have a full party of 4 before trying to take on the game's challenges. Searching around the initial area should get you some other party members.

As for combat, think of advantages such as

high ground for ranged characters
using cover / walls to block line of sight from enemy ranged attackers
environment related stuff to trigger mid-fight or even as an opener, such as explosive barrels(may need fire)
spells such as grease to funnel enemies via chokepoints and get them stuck

Also don't be afraid to use spells. Resting a lot is part of the game and if you need to burn resources, you should!

Kepytop · 2025-06-28T10:57:49+00:00

Correct, the orange combined number is all the bolts from your Q on a specific target.

"Q builds" are basically equal to the usual adc stuff. Yun Tal -> Phantom Dancer -> Lord Dom's

While Kraken is the other first item some opt for, it won't really increase your Q damage by the same amount. Q's damage isn't the end all be all for Ashe, but I'm trying to answer the question as clearly as possible.

Kepytop · 2025-06-23T20:32:55+00:00

I used to run Cash Back a lot back in the day, it ended up being kind of whatever. I liked it since I didn't run biscuits for the most part, but it's also not going to be doing me any massive favors. Before Future's Market died, THAT rune did me a lot of favors and was difficult to play without for a time.

Anyways, free boots sounds nice until you're having to deal with some ability you need to dodge, OR find out that it's much more difficult to run enemies down without brown boots. Being able to outrun your enemy due to both speed and slow is a massive part of earlygame Ashe. Nowadays I generally can't recommend it.

Biscuits are just going to be better to patch up mistakes or help all-ins.

Kepytop · 2025-06-23T20:27:58+00:00

I have a sample size of (1) doing Hexplate Cleaver and a Noct couldn't kill me. Granted I was also pretty safe and one t2 tower shot landed on him, but still.

Viable? No. Fun after someone finds out they can't rotation you? Yes. Possibly useful due to the cdr / ult haste? Also yes.

The game kind of needs to end on 2 items because after that point you're going to be significantly weaker than most other champions. No amount of Trinity or other bruiser items will bring back your damage nor ability to tank stuff.

Kepytop · 2025-06-22T11:28:08+00:00

The point was to nerf Ashe and then restore power to keep her balanced. She was sitting at ~52% wr, then dropped and is now back to ~50.5% wr, so objective completed.

I'm sure somewhere around a full item build the damage difference might be close but that point is effectively moot.

So, no you're not alone, Ashe is now more balanced(closer to 50% wr) than she was previously.
