Cassiopea poison icon needs Clarity...

Visual icon information onscreen is so important. It lets player know if they can proc' Braum's passive, use Yasuo ult, hit Fiora passive and ult and so on.

The problem I have with Cassiopea is that knowing if a target is poisoned is so vital to her kit/gameplay, yet the current icon she has does a poor job of letting players know that. Players who barely landed her Q by the edge are dependent on the delayed sound it makes afterwards. They can't depend on the poison Icon to tell immediately if the target is poisoned. It can also be hard to tell in a skirmish/team fight.

This can result in a delayed reaction because they have to wait to confirm target has been poisoned. That delayed reaction can cause bad decision making. For example, going all in when you actually missed your Q, or you landed your Q but you not quit sure so you back off missing a kill opportunity.

Why can't Cass have a clearly visible poison icon like Braum passive. Why can't the icon indicate how long the poison will last? Would it somehow make her op? I don't think its a lot of work code wise.

So why can't she have this riot?

You can see this in the new skin on the pbe. Every thing but the poison icon has been updated.

What I'm saying is that it can be hard to see in the middle of a team fight.

So you want a giant purple blob above their head and have it block the screen?

There are 3 purple bubbles that move, above a poisoned target's head. They're pretty large and hard to miss.

Compared to Braum passive icon, that thing can be hard to see in a skirmish.

In a skirmish, you're a single target nuker. You're not trying to poison and destroy everyone. You should be focused on one enemy champ, and if you're paying attention to your target, you can tell when they go in and out of poison.

You know if somebody is poisoned because it makes a LOUD NOISE and you gain a massive speed boost
