And I could do a bit of harassment on my own without getting cut down too much. All thanks to the +8 armor, +200 HP, and additional HP regen every 5 seconds.

modular Wrote:i never said that. i said i use them as a replacement for ghost when my opponents attempt an early gank, and do not take ghost because of that. in fact, i said i often have trouble escaping when a team fight goes sour. i normally dont have anything but boots2 for move speed and flash has a long cooldown.

WillDaSnail Wrote:I hate to be an ass here, but lern2beaware of your surroundings. Even if your own teammates are not calling out MIAs, you also have the responsibility of knowing when its not OK to extend your neck too far. There's no excuses here.

Unleashing Wrote:And i'd love to know how you get ganked earlygame. Do you play without wards? If so nevermind this discussion. When i lane in a serious game we ALWAYS have a ward up, i don't care if i solo queu and have to buy it myself, i spam wards everywhere. If you use wards getting ganked becomes 99% harder and you'll need to overextend to the max in order to die.
And ashe has no freacking escape options, that's why you play her with ghost flash, ghost>flash for her tbh.

modular Wrote:actually, my point is that i DONT get ganked early. apparently, i am bad at communicating.

Early game is gonna suck just a little more for mana users x.x

>Pineapple' Wrote:Doesn't that discourage starting with boots even further?

modular Wrote:no not really, one of the advantages of boots is using your super early speed advantage to lure in a gank and be able to escape from it. it wastes your opponents time and allows your allies just that much more freedom.

im not saying i dont make early pushes and only farm, because i do push sometimes. but when their jungler starts running towards you, what do you do? flash, ghost, run. boots mean you dont need that ghost and can take another spell in its place. i prefer tele for its different purposes. and i already have a slow that nets me the same speed advantage as ghost in late game.

oh god, mana regen runes MAKE the type of champs i play
