Should Ashe E (Hawkshot) have charges or bounce off of objects?

I think that the 40 second cooldown is quite long for that kind of ability. Even quinn's which reveals a much larger area has a lower cooldown. I think to rework it, it should either hold charges, or bounce off of objects.

charges: Stores up to 4 charges, 5 second cooldown, new charge is stored every 15 seconds.

OR..

bounce: Lasts for a duration of 5 seconds, any wall it hits it ricochets off of. It can ricochet off of walls, buildings and structures, pets, minions, and champions. If it hits a champion, it should do 1 true damage to stop people from backing at a far range.

Why would hawkshot bounce off of walls? The entire point is to fire it over walls to get vision!

I was already wishing it did 1 damage, and was a pass through skill shot to stop people from backing.

Adding to that I think that holding charges would be a great addition. I think max of 2 charges with the same cool down as now would be great.

IMO it's fine. You compare it to Quinn's abilities, but hers can't be shot 3 screen away. And for closer bush checking her W does the trick very well.

Her kit is fine. With the right team she's a very powerful ADC. If you start buffing her because she's weak in SoloQ, she'll see heavy play in 5's/lcs. Then she'll be nerfed somewhere else.

Her E is fine where it is, I don't think it needs any changes. Charges couldn't stack over 2 the range on her e is what makes it good. You can scout drag from bot lane. And I don't understand your bouncing idea, making it stop backs would be a bm add to her kite she already got a stun and slows which is a lot of cc for a ADC.

Ashe needs something at least. She suffers from being an adc and is outclassed.
