New Viktor's effects are ugly

Hi everyone, I just saw Viktor new effects in a video in youtube and let me say that I really hope Riot decide to change that effects before they release their reworked Viktor.

Really ugly effects. I prefer it's actual storm ulti before that.... I don't even know what it's supposed to be his new ulti effect. And they seem to maintain it's actual boomerang Q... I don't know what community thinks about this, but his Q is really out theme in a champion like Viktor (high-tech) to me.

To me this isn't a improvement neither clarity nor visually.

Here's the video.

Well his ulti is definitely more visualy clear. Though I do not like it either. But I can live with that.

And I also expted Q to change, but even with that I can live.

In the end visuals are not as important as the gameplay and with that I am OK.

Even if it's more clear, dont you prefer his Chaos storm look as... an storm? I do no doubt it's clearer now, but it does not look like a robot thing or like an storm. I though it fails thematically, but maybe is just me because I'm beign downvoted.

I just liked my old chaos storm looking like an storm. Visuals maybe aren't the point of skills in LoL, but they should reflect some aspects of the champions. I don't understand what is supposed to be the new VFX, to me it seems like somekind of big floating suppository, but I don't understand what it is. I really hope it is somekind of placeholder or a really unfinished VFX.

This is not a blame to Riot, but I think it's a step back in quality of their visuals. Even if it's much more clear to see.

As much as I liked the storm thing before, I can see where they were coming from.

Whenever I played against another Viktor I couldn't even see the darn thing in teamfights

As I said, I don't doubt about clarity wise change. Just I don't know what is that thing floating around. To me it really looks like a flying suppository XD

I repeat, this is not a blame, but maybe they has overstepped in clarity over cool visuals.

To be honest, I like the new Viktor. I just don't like the new augment on his E. This kinda forces you to pick fights in confined areas, so as to get the first laser hit along with the secondary ground based Vel'koz-like attack clone.

I used to stack the burn using Liandries, which was enough to lower healing for the rest of my combo to deal significant damage and letting Ignite, Liandries, and Augment: Death burn their life away if they lived. But other than that, new Viktor's going to be fun.
