I had a quick look through and couldn't find this anywhere even though when i thought about it figured it was so obvious it had to be something other people would have picked up on, would it be viable to buy different colours for the Homecoming Stone animation in the store?

So instead of basic blue beam of light you could have a disco swirl/red and black pentagram death metal Rhapsody style/sparkly lights/anything really. I don't have any great ideas for the particular designs, just the concept of buying a custom animation, if anyone thinks of something feel free to post below and I can edit the popular one up here to the top.

The first issue I thought of was confusion to other players, not having that immediate recognition that someone is porting, however this issue exists with all Alt Avatars already and other than Moon Queens abilities/Valks Nuke nothing else in the game really involves pillars of light anyway

The more important issue is that when you're porting in to a tower thats under attack the light would give away which hero is coming in if you're the only one on the team with the custom which gives the other heroes unfair warning .ie. devo goes for a timed hook because he knows its fa not arma etc

To solve this you'd make the custom colour only apply to the exit beacon and not the entry one but that kills half of the fun =/

Any input would be great =)

Voting yes on the condition that they're unique and don't look too much like existing hero spell animations.

So does anyone have ideas for the animation styles so we can keep them looking unique?

Also could always make it a team toggle like the monkey, everyone on the team has the option to apply an animation they own, thereby making it uniform and not breaking the game.

I actually havent seen any arguments over courier skins since they were implemented which I really thought would happen

I voted no, because it would have something to do with balance, and balance shouldnt really be touched by something from the shop. Dont take it personal tho. :/

No I understand, thats why I put it in the original post.

Also I think the team colour change would probly put people off as well, changing your port would be a lot bigger deal than someone else changing your courier

Yes, I would definetly buy one! How about a one that places you in a rocket and after channeling it blasts into the sky, After that, It just crashes and takes you to the place you teleported to?

And you can just make a Merry Go Round that will turn(Turn extremly fast ofc), And after channeling you will be to the teleported position! There can be so many ideas!

So would it be not worth it if you didn't have a custom animation for the exit location?

Unless I'm going back to well the exit animation is usually the one I'm looking at so that would be more important I assume, but I really can't see how you could have it be custom without affecting gameplay =/
