I only go to bar hop and sleep with college students
sell it
$30 is tempting... I'll have to think about it and maybe just reserve it for now and cancel if I can find a decent hotel room.

Also going, but fuck 6 days. Ya'll can have it. I'll do 3. 3 was exhausting @ TI3 with all the lines and standing around. Not to mention watching 12 hours of doto matches per day is exhausting as hell.
you, sir, are insane. GOLD is the best color.
bring your ass.

omg the watermarks
I played it with the Intel HD Graphics 4000 on my CPU when I RMA'd my GPU.
Low settings but playable.
How did you get in low priority man? I thought you were an upstanding citizen
Well, it will be the first time you can get burning iron, but the other two sets are out and fairly cheap.DAC LAN final prices and some new old hats
$150 for VIP line priority hats and Extreme shopping spree

We have bounty, which gives us Orange for TI6. After that, I guess we can just cycle around again.

After Bounty we start using hero themes. 2019: Year of the Pheonix
Or just make new runes every year.

i mean there isnt a super hard counter to her necessarily by heroes
you have to play wisely in your initiations and item choices
thats why pubs are bad at dealing with her
just pick nuke and kill her over and over before she gets her bkb which in greedy pubs gives you a big window
Bristleback. Troll. PL. I'm sure a few others do fine.
At this point its like ur not even trying

You guys know that feeling when your team lost mid pretty bad, lost all your towers and half your rax while the enemy still has T2's, are being shit-talked for the last 30 minutes by the enemy rat about how good he is and bad we are, are trying to deal with a SF that had a butterfly @ 30 minutes and have to turtle and try to keep everyone's spirits up...
...and you and your WR carry that shit like you were born to do it? Then get to ask the shit-talker why he's so quiet?
That feel is the best feel.
Never give up boys.

I'm surprised at the amount of Not Drow games you have, DV. Also as a Known Frost Archer Lover do you feel the same way about Ashe as you do Drow?

Doom also. Doom counters everything, and she's not a natural Linken's buyer. If you want to put a PA out of a fight, just Doom her. That said, there aren't many that can stand against her effectively once she gets BKB.
I also like Axe a lot against her. Since his most important abilities all go through BKB.
AM is pretty good if you can get to 30 minutes and not be behind her in items (and go basher --> abyssal, since that also goes through BKB).
Basically you want heroes whose skills work well against BKB (Axe, Mag, Bane, Jugg) who or buy items that go through BKB (Bashers and Abyssals).
Sniper isn't bad either IF you can get yourself into a safe position away from her line of sight. That attack speed slow does fucking WORK.
No. I find her extremely boring to play. Since there's really no orb walking or anything like that in League, all you really do is stand there and autoattack. I find it pretty awful. Her ult is the shit, however. And AOE slow is nice if you have some tanks up front to keep people off your ass.
he thought his shit didn't stink. but up 20k, up 6 towers, and up 2 sets of rax, I suppose he had room to feeling himself. But they forgot to finish. Not that they didn't try. They went and got Rosh at least twice when all we had was our mid tower and rax, then pushed. They just got shit on by good RP's, good shackles, and a whoooole lot of right-click from WR and I.
They aren't going to do yellow after Gold. Come on Shira

why would you go level 1 Q over E? seems like something that might be better for level 3 unless you plan on ganking level 1

I know a guy who tried to play a few games of Dota and got fed up since Drow can't kite people in the same way as Ashe does (I played League from Rumble > Thresh so I get the mechanics and stuff).
I honestly think I prefer Ashe since she just does more things (competitive/"pub meta" viability aside) and Drow's last hitting before 6 is a pain in the fucking ass.

You get used to the last hitting. And yea Drow doesn't have a get out of jail free ability like Ashe does (who has 2, really)...but I think you're overstating Ashe's ability to kite anything. Flash distorts the truth, which is that she's easy to catch and generally slow as shit. If she misses the AoE slow in a 1v1 scenario, she's dead.
If you want to kite people with Drow, max out your frost arrows first and buy Phase boots. If you can't kite them then, you need to practice your orb walking. Nobody is catching up to Drow with a 60% slow on them and phase boots active. Hit, move back, hit, move back until you see them turning to escape, then chase them with more arrows. Easy money. But you have to orb walk that shit.
Once you realize the value of Gust and how it changes team fights, you'll change your opinion. Between the two characters, Gust is the single most impacting ability of all. Multi-hero gusts can single-handedly win team fights.
Imagine if Ashe could press a button and silence 3 or 4 enemy champions for 6 seconds each. Sheeeeeeyit.
He's very strong right now. I did wreck one earlier, though.

I found that both PA and Clinkz deal with him quite well. Mostly because the most popular build right now skips BKB entirely. Thus, he is very prone to being blown the fuck up by items like Orchids and other types of silences.

Ashe is pretty fun as far as League carries go. Not as fun as twitch or Ezreal, but pretty fun. Drow is pretty comparable in my mind. Both of them basically just right click and then use a crazy cool teamfight spell.
Still prefer more slippery carries like Clinkz or Weaver (or the aforementioned Twitch/Ezreal in League)
