Shyvana's Spell Effects...

So, don't get me wrong here, I appreciate Shyvana getting a visual effects update. I really do! I understand this took hours of paid labor, and was done with the best of intentions and eye to quality. I'm not saying this as a dis to the graphic designers who put these new spell effects together.

But I hate them.

Why? Shyvana doesn't look like she's casting 'fire' anymore. It looks like swirly orange wind. In fact, it reminded me of Yasuo's spell effects almost immediately.

Yes, I get that they are definitely CLEARER. I can clearly define the edge of Shyvana's burn out, the range of her blast, and the dragon form's EYES look GREAT.

But burn out doesn't look like FIRE, it looks like a disco show.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

I hate them Burnout doesn't just look stupid it keeps fading so you can't tell if it's up or not,

Burnout is a fire-including wind so they should've been like that.

Yeah, I agree, Shyvana's Shyvana Burnout looks a lot like an orange hurricane; I don't see actual flames straying back and forth. I main Shyvana as a Jungler, and for the may times I have played her, not once was I ever happy about how her Burnout animation looked; it just isn't realistic because it doesn't appear as fire.

I hope Riot actually makes her animations a lot more realistic, otherwise there would be questions behind the Animation Department.
