Star Guardian Ahri telegraphs her ult (pay to lose?)

This is a great skin, but why does she stay in her "transform" mode during the ult?

This shows the enemy that you still have charges left, making it easier for them.

An easy way to fix this would be to just enable the "shimmer" when she dashes/casts her ult, rather than shimmering during its whole duration.

It's minor, but it's still a small competitive edge being lost.

They should put the shimmer in every skin then. So much better.

all skins have an effect to show r, the default one is just REALLY shitty.

Just like SG Lux ult having better visual indicator of its hitbox, this is something that should be on all Ahri skins honestly. There's no reason to add an artificial entry layer of difficulty to learning or reading things in a game about learning and reading your opponent.

As is, when Ahri ults, her info when left clicked upon already says how many charges she has; adding visual clarity should never be viewed as a bad thing.

People seem to miss the point completely and some getting curiously defensive:

  1. Yes, there is an indicator underneath, of some hard to notice lines... a lot different than the whole of Ahri being shimmering. In the heat of the moment of a big teamfight where tons of things are flashing all over the screen, clicking on ahri or looking on the ground at her feet for a few lines are a lot harder to do than just seeing that she's brightly shining in sailor moon mode.

  2. Yes, I think they could update the other skins to make it more apparent, making them more visually interesting, and making the ult easier to read.

If you find her ult hard to read you have a problem The indicator is fine. Stop trying to make the game easier for basically no reason.
