Pretty decent, except

a) Don't carry revive (Wait, can you even choose in tutorial maps?)

b) Squishy carries like Ashe only really need 1 defensive item unless it's extremely dire.

>Don't carry revive; A carry usually takes Heal/Flash.
>Your first big item should be an item that upgrades from a BF Sword, Ashe's first big BF item is usual Infinity Edge since it works well with her passive.
>Your defensive item if you need one should be Guardian Angel. Thornmail is uber situational and not that great for that matter.

Otherwise, you've done great. As always, practice practice practice?

I have no idea what gear goes well with what. I just sort of took the suggested gear for the most part. I got the thornmail first because I was getting killed easily, and in the last 5 minutes I had close to 3k gold so I just bought the guardian armor thing so I would stop being so squishy.

Does anybody have a guide for the skill building tree thing? Is it subject to specific champions?

Skill build depends on the champion, what position you're playing and sometimes who you're laning against.

It is worth noting that putting points into your masteries is not set in stone. You can always undo something or everything, and rebuild your masteries again and again and again.

Same deal with runes, although you have to buy the runes in the first place to use them. Runes do not get destroyed for any reason, unless you use the rune combiner.

Go to the solomid guide website raizoo posted. Look for your champion + recent updated ones or by any of these people

Probably some other names i'm missing. I know chaox has an ashe guide so follow that. Each AD carry builds differently but more or less they're the same (like 90-95% overlap/similarity). As for squishyness, you can't really get rid of that trait. AD carry can be thought of as a glass cannon. At early game (so first 20min usually), you are not usually aggressive. You just farm minions for gold (last hit). During mid and late game, you get incredibly strong but you're squishy. You hide behind tanks and do all the damage from behind them. They can take all the hits while you focus on the enemy. It's best to play passively until you learn more things.

If you don't like being squishy, then you can play a bruiser (maplestory equivalent is a hero) or a tank (maplestory equivalent is a paladin). A lot of tanks have tons and tons of HP and def and skills that help replenish their HP or give them more def. Your damage is almost always crap though but you're just supposed to take damage and provide support so your AD carries (DPS) can kill everyone. Even though you're tanky, you can still take a lot of damage from AD carrys as in late game they'll start building items with armor penetration or %hp damage (maplestory equivalent is ignore def)

It just takes a lot of practice. You'll start to learn what is a good idea and what is a bad idea.

Edit: Here's the ashe guide: http://solomid.net/guides.php?g=17118

Ignore the runes
Just get heal + ghost until you're level 12 and unlock flash
Add the offense mastery tree. Like kajita above me said, you can adjust that at any time so don't worry
Follow the skill point build and learn how they work

When you get really comfortable with ashe and you get more knowledge about the game, then try some new champs/roles. Again, play with friends/SP people as it'll help you immensely and you'll have a lot more fun.

Also remember that you just need to learn every item and what situation they're good for. Don't be completely reliant on guides!

Basic's on learning how to do champions:
http://solomid.net/guides.php

I'm gonna go ahead and leave you with a heads up. If it's over two weeks old, I don't recommend looking at it. Mostly because the game patches every other week and sometimes that champions build could be minor changed or majorly changed. But it doesn't hurt to look. Just think about the dates of posting and it's updates before you look at it.

Talk to Kajiti;
He's probably going to give you the most help here, period imo. He's also in the LoL School to help newbies which is something you should probably ask him about.

Watch Livestreams: It will help you learn. http://solomid.net/streams.php (Featured streams if possible).

I imagine Zelkova is like WHAT THE HELLLLLL SO MUCH INFORMATION right now.

You can survive for now by just using the recommended items, I suppose.
