Default Add embellishments to stronger Sent Towers


Add "embellishments" to stronger Sent Towers.

Example to make this clearer:
Look at Tree of Life. No embellishments.
Look at Tree of Ages. Check out the green swirling energy (something like an aura)
Look at Tree of Eternity. Check out the yellow swirling energy.



So, give the yellow aura to the level 4 sent tower.
Maybe give a blue and green aura to the weaker level 2 and 3 sent tower.








Tower Size:
Also, to highlight the differences in power, maybe let the towers progress in size, since in size, Eternity>Ages>Life. Also notice that the hero Ancient Protector is about a head shorter than the level 1 tower. This will give you an idea of the sizing scale. Same idea for the Scourge (towers increasing in size).

unneeded imo because scourage wont have any effect + it would be hard to tell if glyph is on or not. t-down

Scourge ALREADY has an effect for their level 4 towers. Nerubian towers are blue. By the way, consider Heartstopper aura for the Spirit Towers.

Heartstopper aura for the Spirit Towers.

And we can change the color from yellow to not get confused when glyph is on.

T-Up. IMO, Sentinel towers needs some more effects as well. Also, moved to Visuals

Thought of adding some effects to the level 4 towers but couldn't find any suitable effects
I totally forgot about the Tree of Eternity's effect

Anyway, to make it even to the Scourge, only Tree of Eternity's effect for the level 4 tower

For Scourge, Spirit Tower => Spirit Tower + Heartstopper Aura effect => Skull of Guldan => Nerubian Tower.

If you CAN'T tell when Glyph is activated, then damn you need to get your eyes checked, it's so VERY Obvious and unmistakable that Glyph is activated.

And It'd just be a change of feel if they this should be implemented

TUp for idea, I'd need to see it in-game.
The yellow effect could be easily confused with glyph and such a visual shouldn't have an impact on the gameplay.

T-null for suggested effect, but T-up for the idea.
Scourge level 4 towers look different from other towers, so why wouldn't Sentinel level 4 towers look different?
Still, if I had to pick between those two effects, I would pick yellow one since it looks warm and would be a nice counterpart to freezing effect of level 4 Scourge towers.
T-down on other towers having any effect and tower size increase.
It is unnecessary and would be too much.

This x3 I think the position in lane of the towers are enough.

T-up. But the Scourge's tower shouldn't get Heart Stopper's aura effect.
