PBE Morgana VU

So I just saw the new update for Morgana and the visual effects changes. The tormented soil looks really nice, but I thought that the particles are rather sudden. Instead of having the cracks in the ground appear instantly, have the ground simply be black/darkened at first, then cracks will spread, open up, then start glowing. I guess it would require more animations, but would look much more fluent.

PS. On a separate note, did the ult lose one of the ground effects of becoming smaller as the duration held, and stunning when the ground effect was completely under the champion effected?

PPS. Haven't been to the new boards recently, but where exactly would this post go? (Can't post in general discussion, miscellaneous it is...)
