[OVERHAUL] Fiery Soul

[Terresquall]

Introduction

Lina currently has a pair of huge fireballs attached to her hands by default. When she casts spells to activate Fiery Soul, she gets similar effects to Troll's Battle Trance on her hands in addition to the fireballs. There are two problems here:

• The fireball models leave a trail of black smoke about 150 range behind Lina, even when she's stationary. Not very noticable, but not very nice either.
• Why would Lina get Troll's barbaric red hands on casting Fiery Soul? It just doesn't ring right.

The New Fireballs

She gets a cool pair.

The left image shows her default fire hands, while the right effect shows her fiery soul lighting up. The new effects don't leave that permanent black smoke smudge behind her, but leaves a small trail of fire behind her when she moves. With Fiery Soul on, the fire trails become naturally larger.

Here are the effects that need to be replaced with the current ones:

• Replace the default fireballs on her hands with Environment\SmallBuildingFire\SmallBuildingFire2.m dl.
• Replace that red ribbon effect currently used as the buff for Fiery Soul with Environment\LargeBuildingFire\LargeBuildingFire2.m dl (on both hands, of course).

Nice to see you're back in cosmetics . Unfortunately, I don't think removing the Phoenix missile is a good call. But T-Up for replacing her default fireballs. The black spot is so annoying.

[Schremba]

T-up one both. The smoke is annoying (I also noticed it) and the Phoenix missile is used wy too often.

What a weirdo...
I don't like the fireballs things at all, but she would probably look too weak without it.
So if it has to stay, T-Up for your suggestion.

[B.M.K.]

I hate current fireballs, but I strongly dislike this fire, T-down.

[DreamKnight]

t-up.

[The Clown]

Looks much more natural. T-Up

[JudasCow]

You should put the trail on her head to fit her DotA 2 look. lmao.
Anyways, it looks perfect. I hate the current fireballs. You should put up a screenshot of the old ones for comparison.

Thumbs up.

[ParaDise.-]

If Black.Lotus thumb down a thread its for sure that is gonna be implemented
T-Up!

[Linism]

I hate that black smoke thing too... it doesn't even align with her hands... T-Up as always.

Die in a Lina induced fire.

On topic, I've been thinking over a similar idea myself, so obviously I'll go with it.

That's not a bad idea actually. Though it would be hard to place it properly, I think the end result would look good. Definitely worth trying out.

Lina currently has a pair of huge fireballs
Fuck yeah.

When there's smoke, there's fire. I actually like the current visuals but it's just my own perception of how it is supposed to look. Nevertheless, if that smoke would be reduced to a more considerable amount, then t-up.

[God_ii]

t-up.

[supaplecs]

A small improvement
