@Riot consider adding a freeze visual effect to Ashe's Ultimate

Avious··38 votes·1,743 views

With all those texture and VFX updates I think it's time to give some love to our favourite Frost Archer. Her ult has so much visual potential and yet when it hits an enemy champ it just goes "PUFF" you're frozen for eternity. My suggestion is to give it a dynamic freeze effect and a subtle explosion around the first victim so that the AOE is clearer, similar to Lissandra 's and Sejuani 's ultimates. Imagine the terror you will feel when a huge ice arrow of doom hits you and you slowly become an icecube (1st cinematic much?). You could make it freeze you more the more the arrow has travelled. If this actually happens it would make the AOE clearer for new players, bring a bit of cohessiveness between the three Freljord queens' ultimates and would look way too cool to handle (pun intended. No? Ok, at least I tried...)

Finally, RIOT PLS!

I'll up this idea for aesthetics, 'freeze' looks cool with Sejuani ulti; however I think they will need to make it different for the flashy word of clarity.

Then make the arrow stuck in them like the entire ults lodged into the champ?

Both Sejuani and Lissandra have freeze effects on their ults, but they are completely different. If you think of it all three ultimates feature stuns combined with slows so it would be neat for them to have a striking similarity while still being unique. Am I right?

Ashe is supposedly getting a gameplay so she probably will not receive any visual changes until then

Really? I remember some Rioters talking about some changes a very long time ago, but I think they were scrapped and the balance team is perfectly happy with her ATM. Even if there aresome changes on the way will they include visuals as well?

Bro riot doesn't care about ashe anymore,shes even below the old sion. a VU for her ult would make sense,Something Like Sej's except outwards from the area of impact as opposed to upwards like if the ground froze you.

That's what I was thinking pretty much. Hope this is noticed by someone because Ashe really needs some attention both in visual quality as well as gameplay.
