Ashe Needs A Buff

As of recently, I've really started to notice how weak is after playing other champions. I've come up with a good way to buff this champion without making her OP, but on board with with other adc's in the game. As of right now, is arguably the worst adc in the game and one of the worst champions in general. What I have in mind would effectively make her fit in the meta and appear in tournaments again. The two abilities that I'm adding a text to for what they should be buffed to do that need very necessary buffs as well as her passive.

Make it so her passive only activates on enemy champions.

Frost Shot TOGGLE: enchants her basic attacks with ice, slowing her targets for 2 seconds. (Buff: Frost Shot also grants Ashe 5 or 10 attack damage when toggled.

Hawk Shot PASSIVE: gains 3 bonus gold each time she kills a unit or destroys a structure. ACTIVE: Ashe animates a hawk to scout for her, granting sight for 2 seconds as it flies towards a target location. Hawkshot grants a 1000-radius area of sight for 5 seconds when it reaches its destination. The sight extends into brushes. (Buff: Hawk Shot travels to its designated location causes explosion damage, or blows up on the nearest enemy champion in the radius of the explosion. Hawk Shot also applies a slowing affect if there is at least one point in Frost Shot.)

(Note: Exposing the map and finding potential ganks is useful, but if an enemy is going to try these tactics against . If she of fortunate enough to find something the enemy should be punished for doing so in some way. Just because you see the gank coming, doesn't mean much if the gank is someone like and is overpowered. This also adds to the chase power that people argue this ability has, even though is a terrible chaser these days.)

Buff isn't really needed. Given the current state of league of leaps, positioning is a huge thing for Ashe, if you can't position well, you can't play Ashe. Peroid. She's still a strong champion, great late game, great kiting power. She can really wreck a teamfight and help keep distances if you've got a poke oriented comp.(with Volley+Frost shot) Just with the popularity of assassins and all-in(kill lane) bot lanes she's become very hard to play in the current Meta, but still very worthwhile if you play her well.

Edit:Also, hawk shot isn't used to see oncoming ganks, you use it to scout a bush so you don't have to face check it, or say while chasing them into the bush so you don't give them the MD advantage that can destroy an adc easily. There's also the situation of We saw the jungler\mid pass a ward by mid lane heading bot... and using hawk shot to give a specific position of them so your jungler\mid can counter gank better.

Ashe is not weak for 4 reasons:

1.- She outfarms everyone always unless you miss cs HARD, by midgame if you farm well you'll be 1 or 2 items above your enemy (given both have similar K/D/A and CS)

2.- Best ult if you know how to land it. Not only it's a powerful stun but it's almost a guaranteed assist, meaning you'll be gaining gold for kills on other lanes if you manage to hit it which works for Ezreal, Draven and Jinx as well, though, they cannot initiate with theirs.

3.- Kite, many champions are weak to kiting and with the recent removal of Frozen mallet, Ashe became singlehandedly the best kiter in the game.

4.- Range, only 50 points bellow Cait.

She's vulnerable to dashes of course but almost every champ has a weakness and it's not like with proper play (and bloodthirster's new shield) she couldn't be played, the thing about LCS is that they go for safe picks, Ashe is not really safe but she's a massive powerhouse when played right.

I like how people would possibly support that awful Caitlyn rework that gained post of the day, but not a buff for a character that actually needs it.

Honestly all Ashe needs is a useful passive.
