Default [Visual Effect] - Pit Lord Ultimate


Looking for an aoe effect to make it clear to himself and his allies the area that he is teleporting units in.

I was actually thinking of the floating rocks from portal to be at the extent of the AoE of the teleport skill. Then it closes when you get teleported.

Here's how it'll look like



Purple - The floating portal rocks
Pink - Pinklord
Green - Alllies

I don't know if it's possible to remove the pink like circle portal thing and only leave the floating rocks but if it's possible, then it'll be cool.

Just tint them into Purple. I think the effect is some human magic?

Model is orb of slow projectile tinted violet. Is possible not the best solution but my first idea to handle the problem. Btw. Is it not more than visual? I mean when allies see how large the area is, it would mean a good buff to Pit's ulti.

I only want the circling orbs and the ghost thing passing through them. I want the red portal to be removed(which needs importing, i think)

(that took me alot of time to figure out how to tilt the portal)

I think asam3's suggestion is the best.
Ghost portal, cool!

Purple rocks, glitters, sparks, whatever, rolling around him, eventually being kind of sucked into Pit Lord or portal. At the moment these orbs clashes, the heroes disappear.

I thought a large Vampiric Aura would be useful, especially if you sized it to see who's going to be teleporting.

Get the pink shimmering portal and make it parallel to the ground, except have the portal a bit transparent. Also, have the portal slowly growing outward from the Pit Lord to show the AOE and when the duration ends, the portal quickly closes.

Should it only be viewed by you and your allies or to the enemies as well?

Those pink things rotate around to make it look like an orb/portal. Incase people are wondering what it is, its 3 big frost armors with a purple/transparent tint. It looks 20x better when the whole thing is being animated.

It could start small but grow as the channel time goes on, or vise-verse

Red portal tilted on the ground, yuck, it makes things look bad if you are in the middle of a battle.

Giant Purple Frost Armor, even worse, it doesn't even look good,. I like Virt's suggestion. I got a testmap, although it is not his suggestion (I made this spell long time ago and just edited the models).
