Karthus Visual Update -- Range Indicator

So, with the new Karthus update (which looks really amazing, by the way) I couldn't help but wonder if his Q is going to receive a range indicator. I feel like that should be something worth considering. As it stands right now, it's a little hard to tell where the Skittle lands (if it's under a unit) or how big the blast radius will be. I'm kind of new to the Champion himself, but to me it seems like one of those abilities that deserves a range indicator to show what the distance is, where it's being put, and how wide the blast is going to be -- sort of like Syndra's Dark Spheres. I understand that the abilities are activated differently, but for people who play with Quick Casting on (which I know is a lot of people) it'd function similar to how Syndra's Q works, and feel less...awkward, I think, to cast Karthus' Q if a range indicator was added.

Since the VU is only on the PBE as of yet, there's still time to see if it works. If Riot reads this, I hope it's something they roll out with the VU when it goes live. :)

If you look on the video, the Lay Waste ability that he uses is much larger than that of the original model, and has a distinct partial circle that shows the range of the explosion.
