User blog:NowItsAParty/Truly Ascended

Greetings Summoners,

For those who have played the newest temporary game mode, Ascension, you've probably found that champion balances are a bit off compared to summoners rift. In my experience so far, the deciding factor in most games has been controlling the Ascended buff. The champions who excel at this tend to be long ranged nuking mages (Lux, Xerath, etc.).

So, in a quest to find the champions who can truly be called Ascended, I give you the following starter questions:
 * What is the single most important task/objective to have in mind during Ascension?
 * What champions are best at completing/controlling these important tasks?
 * Are the any secondary objectives or strategies that often seem to be overlooked?
