Dark Star Orianna Feedback

Hi, I would like to share my thoughts about Dark Star Orianna and see how far you agree or not. It's still early so things can / might be changed later on so: Best time for feedback, right?

  • The first point is the missing voice filter to make her fall in line with the other DS skins. Ori already has a robotic sounding voice, so I dont know how much audio distortion you can add to that.

  • I have a bit of a concern with the colors of her Orb. Its' entirely golden and even has orange blobs on it and while there are golden elements on the other DS skins as well, they're not as dominant as in this case. Maybe desaturating the construct can fix this. The golden parts are also very shiny. The other DS skins seem to be rather dull when in comes to material. I am missing that flair here. Or to put it this way: This would be a great Orb for a Cosmic Orianna skin.

  • Talking about her Orb: I am unsure if that's a dark hole in there or something else. Thresh's lantern had a very different look, which of course helps to tell the two apart, but also makes the connection harder. This one seems more like a sphere with stardust inside.

  • I've read comments mentioning that her Ult could use a bit more "Oomph". While I kind of agree, I am not sure about the reasons for that feeling. Maybe it could use more effects although the animation looks fine to me. I miss the gravitational warping from the original Ult. Maybe that could help ? Or it is in the sound design. A darker tone for the effect maybe ? Something I have noticed is the shockwave from the Orb while pulling people in. Kinda going the wrong direction there?

Overall I like the skin and where it is going, but I just wanted to share my initial thoughts and feelings. Please tell me what you think.

Alirght folks, it seems they're working on the effects, so that's great news. How about that gold ? I did two real quick paintovers.
