Range indicator for Death Lotus

I think Death Lotus should get an indicator on how wide the range is. Katarina gets a lot of kills solely because the sheer lack of a range indicator makes positioning a guessing game. I think a lot of people wouldn’t need to panic flash out of it if they could see that the range and their actual position could suffice to walk out of it or they could see that they are in a position to attack her from afar. "But bruh! Remembuh duh range!" Did you want to remember how off Morgana's Q hitbox was? No because it is just tedious. If the lack of jungle timers is considered a lack of game clarity for Riot then a simple standard range indicator shouldn't hurt.

A strength based on a lack of clarity of the game shouldn’t exist. Kennen, Fiddle, Galio etc. also have an indicator to give clarity of their ults after all so why doesn't Katarina? It's worse enough that it looks almost the same as her Sinister Steel and the fact that its ridiculously fast killing rate exceeds the reaction time and the animation time of almost any CC that is required to interrupt it especially while trying to find a distinction between both spells.

the range is long enough for it to kill me before i can walk out of it, thats for sure I have better luck standing in it and kill kat than I do trying to escape -. -

I like this idea. But I would just hope that it wouldn't be an eyesore. If you did this with Kat, you would have to do the same with Swain for equality's sake. I think a big thing that is preventing this though is the eyesore that it might have. Although, if you made an indicator on Kat's ult, we could finally have a DDR Katarina that would have a lightup dancefloor in the area of effect her ult would be ( it would also play "Sandstorm" while channeling).
