Can we add a visual effect when Baleful Strike hits someone?

Right now it just kinda... passes through people. Makes it hard to see who you're hitting unless you're really watching the health bar. Doesn't really help that it's just a lobbed marble that doesn't really stand out too much.

It's a problem I have when not using Final Boss which.. kind of? alleviates the problem, but only if you kill something, and it wasn't an issue when it was point and click, because.. well, it was point and click.

Realistically, I think Veigar just needs new ability effects entirely, but something that could "pop" when I land a Q in a busy teamfight might make me a little more attuned to how he plays now.

Its hitbox is also kind of weird. The whole visual effects of the ability needs to be redone.

Yeah, it doesn't work very well as a skill-shot and I swear it's missed in times where I thought it'd hit and vice versa

Kinda bums me out that they didn't think to do it, but I hope it'll happen at some point.

With how much attention he is receiving, both good and bad, I have my hopes that his position on the list of champions to be updated has increased in priority. New spell effects would do him a world of good for clarity's sake.

I would like to see a tiny "splash / explosion" animation play when it hits someone.

What if they had it so it applied a debuff with a visual indicator if it hit and if you used e on top of a person with this debuff, the e would instantly cast?

I think that'd be a little excessive. Putting more synergy in his kit is never bad in his current state, but this thread is only about adding clarity to Q.
