Depending on how the game is panning out i choose what Item Tree i use. If the game is going fast then i will choose one of the last two because its cheaper there for i will be able to get the items quicker.

If the game is going for a medium time i will choose the first Item Tree because its not heaps expensive and can completed over a medium amount of time.

To get the second Item Tree the game MUST be lasting a LONG amount of time (Witch i love).


-Strategy-


EARLY

All i do in the early part of the game is hit and run. I mainly target Minions for gold unless i see an enemy Champion vulnerable, then i attack, i also like to use Volley against enemy Champions to slowing get there health down. I always like to try and keep my health higher than my enemies. Thats pretty much all i do for the early game. So mainly i am trying to earn as much gold as possible.

HALF

Half way through the game i will try to get some kills against enemy Champions. I like to use Teleport, to teleport to one of my minions and hit a weak enemy Champion. So yeah, thats what i do when we are half way through the game.

END

For the end game whether i am defending or attacking i like to kill as much enemy Champions as i possibly can. I am not always successful though.. that is why i am asking for some help.



Well thats about it. Thanks to everyone who reads this and helps me figure out what changes i should make. Could i please ask that no one replies with comments like "You Noob!", "Your ****!" etc etc etc... Thanks.

best item/skills depends on your team team, enemy team, battle patterns, farming capability, gank capability, skill level, and much more.
start item = doran's shield + health potion. usually the best bet.

If I remember an old guide correctly...

Regrowth Pendant -> Stone
Boots -> Boots of Swiftness
BM Sword -> Black Cleaver

That's the basic. Now, after that, it's really your choice.

Personally...

Build up to Phantom
Build to Infinity
Banshee's.



Judging from the gameplay layout, you're doing fine.

Both your builds costs ridiculous amounts of money. I don't see how you can hope to build something like this in a game. Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer and TWO Black Cleavers? Basically all the most expensive damage items in the game... back to back... Instead you should get something like Last Whisper or Malady which is cheaper, but will have a more immediate effect on the game.

And also your other builds where you just stack attack speed or damage items... that is not a good idea. All that money used on a single item could be used to combined into a bigger item like Last Whisper or Infinity Edge with better and more effects. It's basically wasting money.

Do not recommend Trinity Force or Avarice Blade on Ashe. It used to be standard practice to have Avarice Blades on Ashe long, long ago in the beta, but not anymore. Tri Force is expensive and unnecessary when you could be building the most important item for Ashe: Infinity Edge.

Thanks for your help so far guys, i am currently trying out a few things that you have told me. Hopefully this will make the game even better for me!

I typically want to become as useful as possible as soon as possible, so I rush infinity edge and then get beserkers greaves. after that I typically get black cleaver and then start building either last whisper or phantom dancer. my first item is boots1 and a couple pots, but idk phil stone or chalice may be better. I just try to get powerful as fast as possible b/c ashe without items is terrible.

I hold off on attack speed items because typically Ashe plays a chase game. If your enemy is standing still, then get out of that elo.
