Ashe Mid and Late Game
What Ashe does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Ashe brings crowd control (percentile 90): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
Mistakes to avoid
- Ashe mitigates little damage (9/100): one bad position ends the fight, so stay behind your frontline.
Playing Ashe
- Try to fire Enchanted Crystal Arrow in the same direction enemies are moving, so it is more likely to hit.
- Volley arrows are blocked by the first enemy they hit, so keep your distance to avoid having them all absorbed by enemy frontliners.
- Hawkshot reveals units in brush. If a team fight is occuring in the jungle it can give you a significant advantage.
Playing Against Ashe
- Ashe has very few defensive options, and she's a good target to gank.
- Be wary of moving around the map alone if Ashe has not recently cast her Enchanted Crystal Arrow.
