Are you struggling and constantly losing against Ashe in League of Legends? Not to worry, this article will help you pick the best champions to play into Ashe.
Ashe is currently one of the strongest champions to play both at ADC and Support in the bottom lane in League of Legends right now. Ashe is very strong right now into some of the best champions in the game based on multiple tier lists. ESTNN is here to bring you the best Ashe counters in League of Legends. This article will also tell you the worst champions that can be picked into Ashe and also the best Support picks to combo with the Frost Archer.
Karthus
Karthus is a niche pick that should only be picked by players who are confident at using the champion. Little to no experience as the champion will ruin the game both for yourself and for your teammates. Karthus is a pick that scales heavily in the late game and shouldn’t be expected to win the lane early on without some components under his belt. With Ashe being such a low-mobility champion, Karthus will have a good time laning into Ashe as he scales in levels. If you are able to avoid poke early on, letting the lane push into you should allow for an easy kill onto Ashe, even with Flash and Ghost up. In the lower elo, most players do not play around Karthus ultimate, which should allow newer players to pick up some free kills in the process.
Senna
Senna is the ultimate Ashe counter right now in Patch 14.4. Senna should beat Ashe at all stages of the game and will out-sustain the Marksmen in the laning phase. Senna’s Q will keep both you and the support topped up while poking Ashe out of lane. Even if Ashe uses her ultimate on you, your ultimate will not be canceled during the ultimate CC, so players should use this to their advantage. Senna has a lot of ways to make life hell for Ashe. Her Q will slow Ashe down, a champion who already has low mobility to begin with.
Twitch
Although Twitch does not perform well into Ashe in the first couple of levels, the tide quickly turns the closer Twitch gets to 6. With Ashe’s range advantage, Twitch needs to rely on the support to do most of the heavy lifting with a clean engage, unless you are able to use your invisibility to catch Ashe off guard. If the enemy Ashe wants to sit back and farm, this is the prime opportunity for Twitch to cause chaos either in the jungle or in the mid-lane. So many players are caught off guard by Twitch magically appearing in their lane. Having a support with hard CC such as Leona or Nautilus should be more than enough to counter Ashe. From there, Ashe will be permanently behind Twitch as the mid-to-late game approaches.
Worst ADC’s To Pick Into Ashe In League of Legends
Aphelios is statistically the worst pick into Ashe in League of Legends. Outside of Calibrum, Ashe has the range advantage in this lane. This means all Ashe has to do is wait out Calibrum and avoid being poked out. Aphelios is a fairly easy champion to poke out of lane and when it comes to level 6, there is only one winner in that match-up. It is recommended to use Ashe’s ultimate onto Aphelios rather than the support. Even with cleanse, the follow up from your support should be more than enough lockdown for Aphelios. Playing against Aphelios is simply understanding when he is at his strongest, and that depends on his gun combination. Aphelios does have CC, so it is simply about paying attention and attacking when it best suits Ashe.
Caitlyn is the second-worst ADC to pick into Ashe right now in League of Legends patch 14.4. With Caitlyn being one of the strongest ADCs at range, Ashe has a kit that is safe enough to counter what Cait wants to achieve in the lane. The aim with Caitlyn is to gain early game control, which will happen against almost every ADC in the game right now, and to gain early tower plates to snowball her into the mid-game. Ashes W and range will help trade with Caitlyn from a safe distance. Once level 6, Ashe begins to turn the tables as Caitlyn does not have many ways of escaping hard crowd control, meaning Ashe should be able to chase her down with Ghost since Caitlyn should be pushed far enough up the lane. Even with that being said, a solid Caitlyn player will still be the aggressor in this lane, it is just about being patient and picking the correct moments to walk up, trade, and engage with Caitlyn.
Despite being a hyper carry, Kai’Sa struggles massively in the lane against Ashe, who is able to lock her down and keep her at bay. Kai’Sa is a very immobile champion when her E and ultimate are on cooldown. Ashe’s volley should be used at will to chip away at Kai’Sa’s health bar. Level six is the game-changer for this matchup. To win this match up hard, the support needs to have hard CC that can lock down Kai’Sa initially to either force Kai’Sa into using her ultimate, or cleanse if they are smart enough to pick the summoner spell. Once Cleanse or her ultimate has been blown, then Ashe is free to use her ultimate to secure the kill.
