Ryze's new VFX

I like the direction it's going with all the runes, but the colors are so bland and don't stand out at all! I want to feel like Ryze is burning those runes into reality.

Especially rune prison looks so weak now. It used to look so intense and made you feel trapped. Now it just looks more like a 'rune inconvenience' - really low impact.

I thought abilities were supposed to be top priority in the visual hierarchy, but it seems like a lot of the vfx are actually being toned down nowadays (morgana anyone?)
