Spell/Ultimate Effects Update

I'm not sure if this was mentioned recently or not in other posts or where this would be posted, but I have been wondering something on the subject of the visual effects of some spells. I feel that a lot of spells (especially ultimates) should be updated to give a more 'I'm powerful/effective' feeling to those using it. It may not be the most important thing in the world, but games might be psychologically more fulfilling if you felt powerful/unique playing.

Here are some examples:

  1. If I'm Janna, I want my shields to look less like generic balls and more like whirlwinds that swirl around my allies. I want my ultimate to look more like a vertical twister, at least during the knockback portion. I want to 'feel' I'm summoning a powerful storm to toss people away.

  2. If I'm Anivia, I want to feel like I'm actually summoning a blizzard from the sky, and not some strange flat-looking ice patch with occasional snowflake effects.

  3. If I'm Kayle, I want my ultimate to feel less like just a shield ball and perhaps more like an angelic-shaped aura.

  4. If I'm Orianna, I want my shockwave to actually look less like a barely visible effect and more like a powerful vortex of inverted energy that's bright enough for people to actually see.

  5. If I'm Malphite, I want my ultimate to look less "I run into people and make them go zoom" and more "I leave a very visible earth disturbance/fissure/tremor/volcanic effect in the area to justify why they are flying into the air".

  6. If I am Ryze, I want desperate power to have an effect beyond a few electrical sparks floating around me. Maybe a more pronounced and brighter aura.

  7. If I am Sejuani, I want the entire area to light up with an icy aura/glacier effect when my ultimate hits so I can actually see the power behind my ultimate when people are either stunned/frozen or slowed.

  8. If I am Xerath, I want to feel powerful while lobbing balls at far distances, maybe the body glows with a very pronounced aura to match the emanation of power.

  9. A lot of other shield effects could be personalized beyond generic looks, and a lot of other ultimates could have aura/lighting effects that would make them more pronounced whether they be self buffs, charging up projectiles, channels, etc.

I know this is by far one of the least important things they could be maybe working on, but its just my two cents. Some of a Champion's charm in playing them is their look and visual effects on the battlefield sometimes.
