Does Shen's sword really require a tether indicator?

I don't dislike his new mechanics, but visually it seems a little excessive for something you're really not micromanaging much. Looking at some clips of Shen at the moment, it feels like it detracts from his theme a bit. I think if the indicator was a little more reserved, and maybe the sword a bit smaller it wouldn't be so bad, but the current effects don't seem appealing at all.

It does because one of the key mechanics of his new Q Twilight Assault is drawing the blade to you, and if it passes through champions you effect of Q is enhanced. Without the tether you wouldn't have an easy way of knowing where the blade was going to go when it moved to you.
