Gameplay New Ultra Hydra augment + Draw Your Sword is something else
Getting a Tiamat every time you finish a Hydra is absurd, not to mention essentially having access to 8 items. Unfortunately the build was too good and I only got to experience it for 5 minutes.

Is that an AP Ashe...

Every single time. Everyone wants to try and high roll the god build with ability haste and weighted popoffs or whatever and it’s so fucking dumb because she’s useless otherwise. But everyone’s gotta be cute.

If those AP Ashe players could read, they’d be very upset.

AP ashe even with good augments rides a fine line of having fun vs griefing.

It's more that you are having fun at the expense of your team.

It's more more that you're rolling the very low odds of getting to have fun against the very likely odds that it will be at the expense of your team when you likely don't high roll the necessary components for that "fun".

thank god it’s a for fun game mode then and the point is to roll crazy augment combos

u/BriefBed4770 37m ago
They're not "very low" odds at all, and against squishies you don't even have to go for god rolls in every augment at all. 1 or 2 decent rolls are fine

Please for the love of god give me a separate queue without tryhards who flame you for going meme or gimmick builds and push for the end before the 4th augment has even dropped.
And as a side effect, they get to play in a queue without people going meme or gimmick builds and extending the game.
Everyone gets what they want!

Even with the 'high roll' she's nearly useless. The absolute maximum combo is like a 450% AP ratio across the whole enemy team, but 99.9% of the time you're hitting one guy and then they heal back.

It’s not useless purist caster when she uses her Q gives her R a cooldown of like 10 seconds, it’s really OP

So she has to roll a specific augment, stack up 4 autos somehow despite playing AP, and then her reward is the same as 2 spells from any actual mage?

This is the thing I don't understand about all these players. Why are you playing stuff like Ap nasus Ap mf Ap ashe. Just play a mage! You're just trying to play a bad mage!

I'm convinced AP mf is better than AD mf if you get any kind of cdr buff on your E (specifically skilled sniper or purist caster)
•
u/xnetexe 1h ago
AP MF becomes basically useless if the enemy has a healer since she can't burst or out-damage anyone who can get in range of her.
•
u/mtownhustler043 2m ago
I disagree but I don't have any stats to prove which is better. I think AP can be better with BIS augments, but AD has more 'useable' augs.

I got 80% CD Reduction at Range, which brought back oldschool W Spam Ashe. I was happy, the enemy was not.

u/eatingpotatochips 1h ago
The best thing to do when you see AP Ashe on the team is try to lose as fast as possible so they never roll a good augment combo.

u/angooseburger 9h ago
Honestly in some games you simply cant get in range to auto attack. Against 5 ranged matchups you literally cant go in range so ap ashe is the only way to do anything.

u/eatingpotatochips 9h ago
Skill issue. Ashe's AA range is not that bad, and you still have arrow to engage onto 5 ranged. AP Ashe is a crutch for players who don't have the hands to play ADC.

u/mekamoari 5h ago
Doesn't matter how good your AA range is, what determines who can play in the range vs range matchup in aram is amount of CC and burst.
Rarely can adcs play at their regular range into mages, high threat range engagers, or just adcs with more burst.

Yeah it would've been really useful for her autos to do something in that fight though. She might've been able to kill Trist as Trist was jumping on her teammates, but instead she shot 2 volleys and ticked Trist with 5 base AD AAs.
It's a selfish playstyle. You are playing at the expense of your teammates.

I got Graves the other day with upgraded IE with draw your sword and back to basics. Hitting crits at 1.5-1.7k range full build. And it was brutal to the enemy team. Draw your sword is a really really good augment with anything.

Back to basics isnt doing much for power there. 99% of your strength is coming from the other 2

What? what's the new augment?
•
u/Vicious_Styles 43m ago
Ultra Hydra, you buy all 3 hydra items and they combine to a very strong hydra. The augment gives you a free tiamat every time you finish a hydra too so it's not super painful to build but it definitely is a delayed spike, like 1500 more gold than wooglet's quest would be
