Could Sion´s health stacking get a little visual effect?

If Veigar gets a stack, he has a visual effect, Thresh obviously too, but can Sion have one too? I mean, the stacking just feels so...weak and bland. You just lasthit sth and thats it. Nothing tells you "There happened something". You just lasthit and thats it. You can look at the W to see the stacks and you are like Aha. But what if, just maybe, when he last hits sth, there is a little stream of "blood" (Look at the particles of the w for example) would be absorbed by his red glowing belly Thing (whatever that is tho). You lasthit a minionwave with q and you would see a part of your fallen foe´s life force get absorbed by you, making you feel like you are growing stronger with every slain enemy. Would be really cool if something like that would be possible, even when such an effect will only be made for his Legendary Skin. So what are your thoughts about it? Would a small little visual effect be nice, or completely unnecessary?

If this goes through, I'd like to see the same effect for Trundle's passive (he heals when enemy units die near him) yeah you can tell when its working because he heals, duh. But you could easily mistake this for just regular health regen,which imo makes the passive feel kinda dull when it really isn't, idk.

Many champions can use something like this.

Nasus Q - Give the weapon a nice glow when he reaches 200 stacks or something. Give it a nice aura.

Veigar passive - Same as nasus ^

etc etc.

They did just buff his W so yeah this would be super nice.

I think it would be cool if the soul furnace in his chest glowed and you heard a little scream.

This would be very nice, though it should fairly small so to not be too visually noisy when multiple things are killed simultaneously.

I find your suggestion pretty cool and nice. As long its not something too flashy, or that could be mistaken for some other ability or visual effect in the game.

´Course it ain´t supposed to be something flashy, or running in a huge minionwave would kill a potato PC. But something that seems like a thin, yet visible stream of blood that you absorb would be nice, as it would also help conveying the feel of a Monster that grows stronger with every fallen enemy as it keeps absorbing their energy ( or blood or Soul or whatever Sion absorbs).

Saddest Part is this won´t be seen by a Rioter, and even if, the answer would probably be "Nah, would require too much resources"...

Perhaps something similar to Grasp's effect instead it is red. For Mecha Zero Sion it can have the hexagonal effects all major Mecha skins have.

I don't particularly like this idea. I get how it isn't the most satisfying of all the stacking champions, but he gains hp every time he kills a minion/monster. (I think even wards too) Veigar gains it off of ability effects and what not while Basis gains it on his q every so often, Thresh from souls and Kindred from Stacks. All of these champions aren't stacking almost 24/7 and are essentially gated by cooldowns while Sion would be getting it off of everything.

Veigar doesn't have a visual effect for getting stacks.

He only has an effect on the skin Final Boss Veigar, and it is just a small symbol above his head.
