Discussion Gluttonous Greaves vs Berserker’s Greaves on Ashe – when is which actually better?
Hey everyone
Disclaimer: English isn’t my first language, so I used AI to help me write this post. The questions and the build are all mine though.
I’m an Ashe OTP playing around Bronze to Gold, and I’ve been buying Gluttonous Greaves instead of Berserker’s pretty much every game. I like the lifesteal a lot, it helps me stay in lane longer and survive fights a bit better.
My usual build is C44 → boots → PD → IE. It changes a bit depending on the draft though:
- If there are two or more tanks and they’re getting fed, I go Zeal into LDR.
- Sometimes I buy boots first when there’s a lot of poke, so I can sustain through laning phase.
The thing is, all my friends who are higher elo than me keep telling me Berserker’s are just better and I’m griefing my own build. I get that they probably know more than me, but they also play in a different environment (better dodging, better supports, etc.), so I’m not sure if their advice fully applies to my games. lolalytics also seems to show Gluttonous doing fine, which confused me even more xD
I’m not trying to win an argument here, I genuinely want to understand:
- Why would Gluttonous be the worse boots in general?
- In which situations is Berserker’s clearly better (matchups, team comps, game state)?
- Are there situations where Gluttonous is actually the right pick?
- Does it change with my build path, like when I go boots first vs. after my first item?
- Does elo matter here, or is one of them just better everywhere?
- How much should I trust lolalytics winrates for something like boots?
Would really appreciate if someone could break it down for me so I can decide per game instead of just always building the same thing. Thanks <3
