[Visual]Gem of True Sight

[Kahno]

I would like to suggest a visual change to Gem of True Sight. Currently there is no visual representation that a hero is carrying a Gem. Sometimes (especially in pubs) this can lead to bad coordination, unnecessary purchase of Dust, etc. The change I am proposing has no downside and will not change the power level of Gem because it is
only visible to allies.

Gem currently doesn't have a visual effect

The proposed visual effect
(I chose the mark to match with the Truesight that towers have)

PROS:
- no MSI
- the hero carrying Gem is recognized easier

CONS:
none

There are many thing in Dota that are not needed but make the game better. This change, however, improves the game to some extent, so I don't see your point.

If by they you mean enemies, read again carefully

[SanTa ClaWs]

T-Up
Please put the "This visual is allies-only." note some place where it can be seen more easily and make it big letters and maybe recolored (red is the best color). cause some idiots can't figure this out themselves. No no i have a better idea. This effect is visible to both allies AND the team that originally bought the item (i'm not really sure if it's codeable though)- this way when they kill you and take the gem in the fog of war, you will know who currently has your gem and focus on him to get it back. Or maybe it's too much?

[NoThlnG]

Simply T-Up. It's sure helpful

[Vot1_Bear]

@sana claws: no, please make it allies-only. There's no point if enemies can see it just because they're the ones that bought it. Their gem, their risk. They lose it, their loss.

And definitely t-up on allies only.

[Captain Planet]

T-up from me.

[Cyclop91]

should be nice. t-up

[carzk1218]

T-up

[dotamagicpoker]

t-up me likey

[Fate Trap]

T-up

[LulzYeah Cdeqz]

It's in-game anyway, so T-up!

[igiwarcraft]

I say: T-up!

There is no disadvantage about the change, so therefore I believe this change will make a good addition to the clearness of the game, and so a good environment for newcomers. We could all agree, that it is sometimes hard for newbs to recognize the situation in the game fast enaugh.

Very good idea IMO.

Then again, I believe you always look in your mate's inventories at all the times, dont you? I mean in competative game, you wouldn't have such problems as you would talk to your mates and you'd knew if anyone had a gem, but if you are in pub, its just stupid to check mates' inventories since item builds are rather retarded most of the time.

Said this, I'd love your constructive critisism what is the DISADVANTAGE about the change? So far, I can only see that you dislike the graphics, which is kinda lame, should I say. For example even if hero is wielding Aghanim's, you might like it or not, but it has little to no effect except for the fact everyone knows you are wielding aghanim's.

This however is a change only people who need to know DO know and you aren't having the big "HIT ME" sign above your head.

PS: You should check the difference betwen a newb and a noob
