Hi Everyone,
Not sure if this is a bug or an intentional change that was made. Since I couldn't see this listed on the patch notes, so thought I'd raise it anyways.
Back when Mirage was released and for earlier versions of the character, when using his ability two, Fire Scarabs. Once the projectile successfully hit a minion or enemy player, a scarab beetle model would appear and float around Mirage, each additional projectile that was successful would add another beetle until he had up until around 3 beetles. Which would dissipate once the effect ran out on each applied effect.
This provided a useful visual sign that not only was the ability being applied to Mirage and the enemy for team mates but to the opposite team as well.
Then, suddenly in one of the more recent patches, it was gone. Now Mirage sends out the flame projectile and that's about it, no floating beetle effect.
It doesn't seem to be just myself, checked some streams and recent footage and the beetles aren't there.
If it was intentionally removed, it would be good for them to reintroduce a new visual indicator of the ability being active.
Having that visual element of the beetles was also great, since otherwise, outside of his ability 1. His ability 3 and 4 don't really have much in terms of unique visuals.
For refence, at 2:24 minutes into this original showcase video, you can see the effect I mean.
Gracias y bendito!
