Petition To Add An Indicator On Thresh's Lantern

Thresh is a wonderful champion with a great kit based off teamwork. A huge part of his kit, an ability that seems like one of the best in the game, is very underused. Thresh's lantern seems to be ignored in certain situations for reasons i can not comprehend. A tip during the loading screen states "Did you know that you can dash to Thresh by clicking on the lantern", makes me believe that some players might be unaware of the potential of Thresh's lantern past its shield. While it is arguable that people should understand what his ability does, it is unfair to make the assumption. So what i would like to put forward is the idea to add an indicator onto Thresh's lantern. What i am suggesting is an arrow like Soraka's passive when an ally is under 40% health. The arrow would point teammates towards the lantern making it easier for teammates to find the lantern, and let them know that it has been thrown. Many players get tunnel visioned during intense engages and disengages and they seem to forget that the lantern is an option to escape. They then path away from the lantern not noticing it and may end up getting caught out. Unless you are in some form of communcation i.e TS Skype Curse etc, it is sometimes hard to know that the lantern has been thrown. I believe that this indicator would help supports playing solo que and teammates better work together. I don't believe that this update would be "Op", it would help players utilize the champion to the best his abilities.

Thoughts?

EDIT: I am aware that there is already an indicator on his lantern much like Yasuo's ult. What im suggesting is making it more blatant like Sorakas.

There's already an indicator and making it bigger would just clutter the screen. My first game with a Thresh I was using the wrong click to try to click the lantern. In most of my games the more common problem is people that think they HAVE to take a ride on it to get the shield, which uses up the lantern so it can't sit out and keep collecting souls. So I would openly vote against a larger indicator.

Just thinking about a smaller arrow towards the feet of champions not a large indicator. I don't seem to run into this problem as often, then again i play aggro heavy and normally walk to souls. A cool idea may be a toggle? In the same area as DJ sonas music, but a toggle to turn on and off the indicator.

You could have multiple giant flourescent blinking "CLICK ME TO LIVE!" signs on that lantern and randoms will still not click the thing.
