Suggestions about the visual effect on Xerath's ultimate.

Hello summoners! I know it has been quite a long time since Riot did a visual update on Xerath's Xerath skill kit and lore, but I hope it is not too late for me to bring some humble suggestions out of my chest.

First I want to thank Riot for doing a lore update on Legend of Shurima, even though most of the people don't care about the story behind each champion. The new lore certainly added vividness to spice more than one champion, giving all the Shurima related heros a theme of epicness. So good job Riot.

But here are my thoughts : Azir , as Xerath 's biggest rival, has a skill kit and voice acting which is very well designed. All of his skills and voice lines reflect his unique personality, which is confident and majestic. After being revived and ascended, he has the ability to control the sand soliders to fight for him and at the same time carrying the dream of rebuild his glorious empire.

His great confidence can be found in these voice lines:

"The world is a desert. I am the oasis." "None know the will of the desert better than I." "No dragon can defeat us."

The reason that I say Azir is "confident" of his power is because that it seems he can control his power perfectly, with a feeling of elegance. But Xerath on the other hand, seems to make every magic he performs as an explosion (as a result of the magic chains holds his power back but he tries to break it?), which reflects the conceited part in his personality. In my opinion, his Q,W and E fits his theme perfectly but his ultimate looks (The damge is certainly not weak, I'm talking about the looks) just too weak - it is like shooting out three water drops. As a mage who in his ultimate state "ascends to his true form", I think he deserves a little visual update on his ultimate. My idea is to make it a magic strike which dropping from sky (It will kind of looks like when you smite people) instead of making Xerath shooting the energy bullets by himself.

Thanks and please have a wonderful day :)
