Idea for Ashe's E replacement. Please check it out!! Not a bad idea

You hear it non-stop that Ashe is the only ADC that has no steroids (catalyst) or whatever. I have said it before and I'll say it again, I love Ashe and I think she is perfectly viable in all levels of ranked game play! I have also stated multiple times, that despite my love for her and her viability, her E is useless. Simple as that. How about we brain storm some random ideas for her E? I think my idea is pretty cool and little broken but Riot can scale it down to fit the game because I don't know every champions stats and therefore can't scale it properly but here is my idea.

E - Frozen Soul Very important that it is ice related. A Hawk is ridiculous

After Ashe kills an enemy champion, their soul is frozen as it leaves their bodies. If Ashe stands on this soul, she draws energy from the soul and deals an extra 5/10/15/20/25% bonus physical damage to enemy champions. The soul disappears 2 seconds before the enemy champion respawns.

So naturally the ability name fits her ice playstyle. The idea of a soul being frozen is just absolutely perfect for Ashe! Some may think this is OP but look at it this way : Early game the death timers are like 6 seconds meaning she would get 4 seconds in the soul, if she could even get to it in time. Late game in team fights, if she kills an enemy, she would have to compromise her position AND stand still in the buff area to get the effect. The % bonus damage could be toned down if necessary are Riot have the mathematicians that could balance it.

TL;DR So all in all. Ashe gets a damage steroid/buff. She would have to stand still, as an ADC to get advantage of it. Useless in the early game just like her current E but would be more effective late game than her current E. Would not change much about Ashe players, myself included, I would find this very useful and balanced. Fits her ice theme.

What do you think? Would massively appreciate an upvote and/or a bump if you guys/girls like this.

Would love to hear other suggestions to if you have them.

EDIT This could be a replacement for her passive instead also if you would prefer a passive change instead of an E change.

I thought souls were more of a Thresh thing.

This seems better for a champion with a more malevolent design. Also I really like her e because it can help your team not have to face check baron/dragon and can let you back one wave sooner than the other adc for a bf sword. Imo her only shortcoming in power is that she can't trigger her passive more than once a fight. I'd like to see riot make her passive work more like static shiv

Honestly, just rework Ashe. She has too many flaws.

Sounds like something Neith from SMITE would have

Well, one of Ashe's themes is that she's the 'Frost' archer, and she has very potent slows and CC. Maybe her E could give her basic attacks a small blast radius? So anyone near the target within a small area takes damage - and gets Frost Shot applied. This would let her slow entire teams for a short time and improve her CC capability.

I don't think her E is the problem with her. It's her passive. I love the idea of her passive and its great for lane phase but since you have to not be attacking its useless for anything past lane phase. I think at the very least they need to remove the timer on it so that you can at least gain stacks in between attacks.
