Visual Clarity (or lack thereof) on Jhin

In Riot's recent post about whether the past few champions have hit the mark or not, they mentioned that they could've done better with visual clarity, which I 100% agree with (especially as someone who gets easily confused by lots of flashy particle effects for the sake of effects). But there's ONE BIG THING that would be super helpful:

Adding orange circles around enemy aoe.

Some champions have this (Cass, for example), which is awesome. However, if you have two Ekkos in a game or two Jhins, there's some confusion. Enemy Ekko has an orange slow, but not timewinder (Q). When you have an allied Ekko and an enemy one, knowing which one to dodge - heck, even which direction can be confusing in a clustered team fight since it moves slowly - can be difficult. Similarly, there's a lot of Jhin vs Jhin matchups in the bot lane, which is fine EXCEPT the enemy Jhin's traps are only orange when they're set. If a trap is exploded by minions, I as the squishy support would really like to know if I should dodge or not care, and while I could see if I'm slowed, the slow is such that I need to respond immediately in order to dodge the damage, so I don't have that half second to check. An orange boundary circle would really help. For comparison, Anivia's ultimate (roooooooughly the same size) has one, and it's super useful.

So please please PLEASE rito - visual clarity isn't just reducing sparkles (and curbing wolf's tail omg that thing is way too long), but also being consistent with helpful indicators. Please add an orange circle to Jhin's trap when it pops.
