Morgana Shield Sfx

Okay, so I am loving Morgana's update. Super cool all round. Better than Kayle (Kayle's splash arts are amazing, but what is that base skin?). Anyway, I was just a bit thrown off by her shield sound. I think it's just not what I was expecting for a shield sound. I understand her magic is dark and it sounds "heavy" so that's cool, but does it compare to the sounds of other shields. It sounds similar to Pyke going underwater without the water sounds, yeah? Compare it to Sivir, Nocturn and old Morgana spell shields it has much less high-frequency action but also compare other supports since it does give some temporary health but as magic. Kassadins shield is dark sounding, but he is also throwing a dark orb out at the same time so I think the sound works for him. Anyway, was just wondering if others thought the same, or if any sound designers had any comment on why they decided to make it sound this way.

It sounds cool, but does it sound like it Means.. if that makes sense. I just feel like the sound says something heavy or threatening is happening (although cosmic, the bell is cool), but it's neither of those things imo.

I also can see that it's important to make this spell shield stand out from other shields in the game so the sound has to be unique, and fitting and can be a difficult job to keep the clarity.
