[POLL] Should Ashe's passive work on minions or not?

I REALLY hate it when I fully charge Focus right before last-hitting a minion, and then all that wind-up time is lost. Or when I have it fully charged and don't want to use it on a minion, forcing me to NOT LAST-HIT. That is straight-up frustrating, and your opponent can capitalize on it.

I suggest this:

Keep Focus the same as it is on live EXCEPT for one thing: You cannot crit minions with it. Attacking them still delays the charge-up, but you don't waste it if you shoot a minion when fully-charged.

This would make the passive MUCH better, IMO. I mean, why would you ever want to blow that crit on a minion? Better last-hitting? Learn to do it normally. Killing a cannon minion? That is not worth it to give your opponent more advantage on engaging you.

Please, Riot? Just do this and Ashe will be dandy. Otherwise, give me one good reason why she should crit a minion instead of a lane opponent.

You remember how before Annie support was a thing her passive's zoning power was balanced by how she needed to use disintegrate to last hit creeps?

Remember how much zoning power she instantly got when she didn't want to last hit anymore?

While a crit isn't as valuable as a stun, this would change Ashe's playstyle from "my goal is simply not to lose" to "get out of my lane" and we have plenty of that second one.

How would her burst be worse than a Lucian?

It's not that she would be worse, it's that she would lose a significant part of what she is right now.

Ashe's passive currently means she wants to let her opponent push in the lane phase, this change would give her an additional tool to zone when she is defined around a larger but weaker zone than most marksmen.

Ashe's kit is very defensive, this change is rather aggressive and thus takes away from a defining weakness. Any nerfs made to compensate for this change would take away from the things that make Ashe Ashe.

It would obviously make her stronger if it wasnt wasted on a creep but every so often I want to crit a minion with shiv to hit the other laner from a safe range.

It isnt really that hard to play around
