Dear Rito,

I'd like to talk about visual indicators for debuffing aura items, specifically Abyssal Scepter.

Recently, you added a snowflake particle over the head of any champion who is affected by a Frozen Heart (-15% attack speed debuff).

I'm not a graphics designer or a UI designer. I'm an engineer and an analyst, and part of my job is designing and testing clear visual indicators for aircraft pilots. I love visual clarity and consistency, just so you know where I'm coming from.

Would it be possible to add a similar particle for the Abyssal Scepter on enemy champions? I don't know about visual clutter or where that would appear, but it would be nice. I know that there's an indicator for the carrier, but it doesn't do a great job of indicating the range.

It'd be even nicer if the Aegis/Locket aura indicator would also show up on allies--I don't think that it does, just on the carrier, but that's a discussion for another thread.

TL;DR Frozen Heart draws a snowflake over affected enemy champions. Can Abyssal get a similar particle? Rito pls?

do you think an AoE particle projected from the champion with the aura would do the trick?

Like Amumu's E or Morgana's R when activated.
