Ricochet indicates headshots but deals non-headshot damage

If you have ricochet and you headshot someone, the bounces will also indicate that they are dealing headshot damage, but the actual damage values are identical to non-headshot ricochets. Headshot bounces end up dealing only about 20% of the original damage, instead of 40%.

I would expect that either the ricochet damage would scale its damage with headshots, or that the indicator wouldn't show the headshot icon and highlight.

To add to this, headshots from Ricochet are inconsistent.

1. Shooting an enemy hero in the head with Crippling Headshot will cause Ricochets to also apply Crippling Headshot when it bounces to another enemy hero.
2. However, shooting a lane minion/creep in the head with Crippling Headshot will NOT apply Crippling Headshot when Ricochet bounces to an enemy hero
3. Shooting a lane minion/creep in the head with Headhunter will NOT cause the Ricochet to apply the Headhunter bonus when Ricochet hits an enemy hero. This is not due to the cooldown because Headhunter does not proc on minions/creeps.
