This precise situation was that i even had her by surprise (read: nailed her from a bush), with Merc Treads or Boots of Swiftness (i don't recall which one i picked). I also had Blade of The Ruined King.

But the thing is she just slowed me with her Frost Shot and it was k to kite me to her base when i tried to keep in her face and she could still stick to me when i ran away.

@Tinhboe: Which means what? That an Ashe who did literally just farm to not-even-mid-game has the right to beat a fed Voli (i was 5/0) without losing any life?

@Yordleportal: I was trying to jump on her and shut her down for the mid-game, like a last nail in the coffin. I even got her from the bush.

So what? Was it my "insta-scout cleanse" set? (Cleanse + Clairvoyance as Summoners, Scrying Orb as Trinket + Merc Treads / Boots of Swiftness as boots built first) Is it just the matchup (which would mean Marksmen as a class are just cheap)? Was it the fact that I didn't carry the Miracle Mallet? You don't have to set up this much when you gank Sona or anyone else, why should it be so for Ashe?
