[COSMETIC] Elune's Arrow

Elune's Arrow Cosmetic Change Suggestion by APL

Right now, Elune's Arrow is a simple Arrow that in no way represents Elune at all.

What do we do? We add a modified version of Vengeance (Effect used on Lina's and Rylai's Aghanims) that has a longer trail, visible only to allies.

And when it hits a target, the missiles die and timer duration shows.

AND: This can only been seen by allies, add perma invis to the extra effects, and, stun duration will be shown, to allies again also.

Quote:

So... effects used:
Arrow
-------

Vengeance
Mana Void SFX's
Giant boom.

Screenshot:

Screenshot is bad. SO TEST IT! Don't touch anything, just test (unless you know what you are doing)

Import is only 5kb...

TESTMAP REQUIRES VERSION 1.24.

There's too much SFX IMO.
Remove the SFX on the arrow and use the Dragon Hawk Attack Missle. That would be cool.
Also, I do like the stun duration. The effects on the Target looks too own. Please use something simpler XD
T-Up though, its a cool cosmetics change

Woot, I liked the Elune's Arrow in this testmap, TWO-T-UP.

TweetY · 06-26-2009, 10:05 AM

I'll use my feet

4 T-up

NO,
this "cosmetic" suggestion is too flashy and too noticeable and will give an unwanted nerf to elune's arrow.

But the fact that Elune's Arrow need a better projectile cannot be changed. The current one looks crap.

Cp6uja · 06-26-2009, 11:08 AM

Yes, indeed it looks flashier but that is the downside. You can notice it double times easier, so it will be easier to avoid. Arrow is already risky nuke/stun , don't make it even more evadeable.

TraVeIIeR · 06-26-2009, 11:11 AM

the current one is ok (could use some slight glow maybe)
this is way overdone! looks like the apocalypse is unleashed - it's still a single target stun

Sometimes, Elune's Arrow comes pretty close to Apocalyse unleashed (5 second stun...) But it shouldn't come so close to it.
Maybe the special effects should get more visible the further the arrow moves. That's a rather pratical suggestion, no?

I have nothing agaist such cosmtical innovation.

Broodmother · 06-26-2009, 12:26 PM

lookk like wind! pressure

Zirath · 06-26-2009, 01:13 PM

Oh my good my eyes. Arrow too bright and colorful. Less SFX please.

kitchen · 06-26-2009, 02:07 PM

The red balls look terrible.

Nephratos · 06-26-2009, 02:16 PM

I think the best idea is to show the stun time. The rest, I think, is not needed, because, like others before me said, it is a nerf for "Elune's Arrow".

"Oh no. There is a flashy thing flying towards me. I have to evade..." Miss...

I think the arrow is just fine, how it is except for the stun duration

Zirath · 06-26-2009, 02:28 PM

Duration timer would be nice. Never know how long you stun for without it.

XaTrIxX · 06-26-2009, 02:28 PM

The only way i see this cosmetic change to be implemented is that these flashy effects can only be seen by the allied team, but not the enemies.

I don' think it has to be changed, it's OK the way it is. Maybe it is a standard arrow, but it deals damage and that's all that matters in the end.

CaLLizeR · 06-26-2009, 02:33 PM

Any flashy effect to Elune's Arrow will make it easy to be dodged.
The arrow was a light blue arrow back then, and it only could hit AFK players.
