Ashe appreciation post

Ashe is awesome.

I just wanted to take a moment to point out that Ashe is, and has been, the most balanced hero release this game has seen. Period.

Love this hero, great design, fun to play, B.O.B. , and she has remained a fairly agreeable hero for her lifetime.

Hoping to get more “Ashes” in the future.

Ashe without bob is like whip no nae nae. Peanut butter no jelly. Calvin no hobbes. He deserves a post all to himself.

True. Bob is awesome. I remember when everyone was hoping that he would just be a tank hero when they first saw him.

But I think having him in this format is more endearing. Bob’s great.

You probably knew this but you can even wave to him and he’ll wave back

Probably the best thing they’ve added to Overwatch right there, lol.

I find it fun to use the “Fetch my butler” voice line before popping my ult too.

I play Ashe on occasion when I’m on DPS, and I think I’ve at least graduated past Trashe tier by now. I have since removed the “just taking out the trash” voiceline from my wheel, as I no longer need to warn my team about it :v:

I don’t even play Ashe and I’ve had Bob as my profile for a long time now.

She’s been my go-to dps for YEARS and always have a fun time. Exploding that dynamite on people is second only to hitting a God sleep in terms of most satisfying abilities in the game.

Still mad Blizzard deleted 150 hours of my playtime on her in the merge from OW1 to OW2 though. :rage: #NeverForgetNeverForgive

As 4.5 k hours Ashe main, ex otp with 4371 SR peak I look at this post and think “He doesn’t know”

If it wasn’t for Mercy making her a one-hit wonder for the first few months, yes.

Fun to play, fun to play against.

Evidence! EVIDENCE!

I am foaming at the mouth.

Bob is a national treasure for being able to put up with Ashe in the lore and carrying her players in-game.

funny that you should type this atm. been playing ashe this last hour and yea it hurts sometimes. it seems like a bunch of healers rather dps more than usual or they hard focus on the tank and even overheal him and just ignore me as ashe.

have to spam for heals sometimes and i had 10 deaths in a couple of games. i mean i have my good games with her but its usually when the tank is MAKING A LOT OF SPACE and i dont really need heals heh

just had a junker town flashpoint map and i just couldnt take it when doom killed me fast the first two times. just switched sombra and turned the game around but i still felt like i lost even tho i winned and i made his life a bit terrible in some cases when he wanted to engage since i just hack denied him heh… still i rather bully him then him bully me as ashe

In the mental battle he may still feel like he won.

Getting people to swap is a big ego boost on players who one trick or heavily play a favored hero.

I know I feel that way on my Ball.

Not me. Once I dominate their Hog and they swap, I shed a tear because that once free and effortless win became another loss. Like, seriously, I am not even joking. Ha ha ha… Very funny Buddha! But no. I can only win against people dumb enough to play Hog.

You know…in that Doonfist’s eyes he may even be looking at that one scenario as “I have prevented another player from becoming a sniper. My work here is done.”

I wish I could give all my bans for all these references.

Back to the topic,

Love Ashe. Not sure she’s always been the most balanced character of all time… I’m going to go with Zarya on this one. She’s a release hero who basically hasn’t changed besides number changes… and she shifts in and out of metas.

true heh but it wasnt only him that got me to switch. doomfist, tracer, genji and lucio on the same team would do that to you or any full dive. as ashe your gonna be in for a rough day so its better to switch to something that has a easier time living.

i love ashe but yea sombra is shifty and elusive
