Ironically when I am UP AGAINST Lucian he seems to be one of the easiest champs for me to consistently beat in a firefight?
So maybe that's coloring my perceptions in being a little hesitant to buy that. I'm shit, but I can usually beat Lucian; that kinda tells me Lucian's beatable by shit and thus more shitty.
Mobility and I don't get along in general. I like hitting fast and hitting from range, and Ashe/Caitlyn are pretty good in those two fields respectably.
According to the guide for Caitlyn which I lazily also use for Ashe even though technically speaking I know it's not the
most
optimal, Doran's Blade as an initial purchase for help in early firefights (I used to just use the 500 gold to as a bonus gold, but my girlfriend talked me into it), then rushing Infinity Edge via BF Sword+the other two, then going into The Bloodthirster (via a second BF Sword + two longswords + the upgrade for the longsword), then going into Berserker's Greaves (via Boots of Speed plus the dagger), then going into both Rapid Firecannon + Statikk Shiv (which use the same items, and accessed best via the dagger to upgraded dagger first to get the shock effect earlier rather than later for crowd control).
Granted that's just what I was read in a guide linked to me by my girlfriend (which I don't actually understand the order of perfectly, this being just my guess/interpretation of it), so.

Oh you mean that blue circle thing at the top of the game screen? Caps out at about 200. At most, 220. Never goes above that, actually. Sometimes drops as low as 180.
My internet has two speed settings:
"Stupidly slow as donkey's ass, shitty as to almost be dial-up speeds" and "Stellarly fast"; there's no middle ground between the two. If I'm the former, NOTHING using the internet (not even low-resource sites like forums such as mafiascum.net) will load yet alone a game; if I'm the latter, EVERYTHING using the internet will load incredibly fast.

I was pretty much advised to do exactly that--hide behind people and let them soak the damage first.
Get chastised all the time for being too far forward, honestly, tho that's something which isn't always my fault (and when it is, it's usually because I KNOW it's stupid, but I'm trying to make a power play anyway, e.g. trying to basically solo-destroy a tower).
In my experience, limited as it may be, yeah; I've had games where a team didn't have a jungler (albeit half the time assigning someone to the jungle ANYWAY, just clearly ill-suited for it) and the team without one/with a makeshift jungler lost each time.
