This could be compressed a litlte more. I'd suggest having just one section with BF sword, pickaxe, and doran's blade, instead of this first back #1/2 thing.

MMMM not necessarily. Expand on EXACTLY when you want to use your potions - It can be important.

I disagree with the statikk shiv rush to be honest. I think you lose any remaining lane pressure that you have, without much benefit tbh.

Well, this isn't TECHNICALLY right ;) To be honest though, after infinity edge, it's the attack speed that really matters more than the crit chance.

If you start building LW by the time you can't kill their tanks, you're building it too late. You want to start building LW right when you see your opponents' tanks REALLY start stacking armor (you can shrug off something like a cloth armor; when they start building stuff like warden's mail, that's a red flag)

I don't see this paragraph contributing a whole lot. Yes, it does give your following chapters some sense of continuity, but IMO this part can be taken out altogether. The only think that really matters in this paragraph right here is that last sentence.

Really spell it out for your readers. You want your readers to basically contantly be autoattacking minions, so as to get to level 2 as fast as possible. This is especially important when playing agianst champions that can cheese you like leona.

Exactly when do you juggle frost shots? When is REALLY that beneficial to split focus on a target like that?

It probably isn't good to chase your opponent past his cannon minion wave though - you're making that sound like that's always a good option

I'd like you to explain the converse - When one of your opponents minions is low in HP, he has the opportunity to scratch damage you; How do you position yourself to minimize the risk of this happening, while still gettiing the minion?

In general, at exactly what game time do you frequently see the first jungler gank attempt from your opponents?At what game time do you hit level 3?

This seems like it's a little too vague. You tlak about the importance of zone control, but you don't directly say what steps you take to establish zone control (even though it's pretty obvious that all the things you've written so far contribute to zone control.) I'd like you to better organize what factors play into your degree of zone control, and how to regain lost zone control (support had to leave lane to ward e.g.)

How much do you need to respect your opponents if they hit level 6 before you? With ashe being so vulnerable, it's especially important that you show your readers how much respect (spacing) you give your opponents, depending on the matchup. I'd also like you to go into detail about how you aim your ashe arrow. Try youtubing rumiah's ashe arrow video, as I think that that gives a very scientific approach to landing ashe arrows.

As a jungler, I will NEVER gank losing lanes - I'll gank gankable lanes. If you have your arrow up, there's no reason for your jungler to just help your lane when you're losing. For instance, ashe can facilitate tower dives well by arrowing under their tower, walking out of tower range to get the jungler taking tower aggro, and then slow your opponent so that he can't escape/kite under his own tower.

Wolves? Raptors? I don't think you REALLY go that far away from lane unless you're like, rotating to your opponent's mid turret. Even then it's questionable

Good. I'd even go one step further and say that if you don't have vision of your opponents jungler, but you saw tha the ganked the top lane 30 seconds ago, it's quite possible for you to overextend for a little bit without without getting punished for doing so.

I don't like this right here. I think it'd be better for you to show off your thought process behind contesting objectives by doing a voice-over analysis of one of your games. If you analyze one of your replays and say something like, "Oh, I started a slowpushing minion wave near opponent's bottom lane tier 1 turret 30 seconds ago, so I'm going to co-ordinate with my support to deep ward my opponent's top side of the jungle. The slow pushing minion wave will hit my opponent's tier 2 tower in 2 minutes, and if left unanswered, will damage their tower for ~50% of it's health. If they go to clear that minion wave, and also try to defend their top turret, I will use my ECE to initiate a 5v4 in our favor."That will be inifinitely more helpful to your readers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Compositional awareness:Heavy AoE damage also means that you usually want to avoid fighting in choke points or in the jungle if at all possible.Can you explain to me the exact thing that you want to convey in this section? Becuase I don't know what message you want to send here.

I feel like you should put more emphasis on using ECE as catch potential instead of as an initiate to a team fight. I feel like using ECE as an initiate to a team fight is only good when already ahead; When you're behind, wouldn't you use ECE differently?If your team has strong flanks/high AoE damage (fiddlesticks/xerath, or ahri/zed/leblanc mid), you'd be incentivized to use ECE as an initiator whilst in an enclosed space like the jungle so as to funnel your opponents in a small area.

Ah - this is the positioning you are talkingabout. I ran out of room here, so i'll comment about this section towards the end
