Riot should add a VFX to show when Ahri & Zed have Ultimate

>**TL DR; Add a VFX that lets us know if an enemy Ahri or Zed has their ult. **

Ahri and Zed are high powered mid lane assassins known for their safety in lane as well as their mobility late game. When trading them in lane or fighting them I actually enjoy trying to outsmart them; however, what frustrates me is that I never know the opportunity to press an advantage has they have an insane amount of both offensive/defensive due to the mobility/ properties granted by their their ultimate.

More importantly, this correlates to a ridiculous amount of hidden power. When trading them you have to guess "is their ult up?" "is this worth flash?" heck as a jungle I second guess ganking unless they're extremely pushed.

Ahri and Zed need Visual Effects that show when their ultimates are up. Trades should be more about outplaying rather dictated by the *possibility * of Ahri or Zed having ultimate. Such a change I think could help immobile champions fight back. This is unnecessary power that could be cut without touching their kits.

that's why you have to time it... they're both low CD so just assume it's up if you don't know.

giving this to them...you'd have to give it to champs like Amumu Annie ..hell basically everyone because "hidden power".

this knowledge shit just part of the game..

You're not very smart are you?

If you're going to add effects to some champions when their ults are up, you have to do it to all of them.

Your ability to keep a count on enemy's ult cds is what separates the good from the bad. You always assume they have their ults unless you see them blow it or your allies call it out. Then you make a rough estimate on when it'll be back up. When in doubt, assume it's up.

no. no. no. It already sucks for Shyvana to have everyone knowing if her ults up or not. (though she's kinda OP still, but that's just cuz devourer's is broken.)

Wow haha I'm surprised at how much hate this idea is getting. I'm curious what you guys thinking about Ekko's Ult and TF's "Pick a Card". How might they be different if you didn't have visuals to communicate their intent? I just thought this idea should be extended to two VERY DOMINANT , VERY MOBILE Champs! Either way cheers!
