OW2 new visual effects

So… Some of the new visual effects are ugly. IMO.
Specially when compared to the original effects.
For example, look at Nano Boost. The original version shows this thunder and has this sound effect that REALLY makes you feel powerful. What is it now? A cloud. A freaking cloud.
And Mercy damage boost? Now it’s a bunch of pngs that don’t really fit there flying altogether all over your screen.
Idk. I highly dislike this new textures and hope they keep the old ones.
If someone has any screenshots for people to see the differences, I’d appreciate if they posted them.
Edit: Here’s some images for you to look at:

I see what you mean.

Live has distinct lightning bolts that arc from your character.

The OW2 gameplay showcase replaced the lightning with just shiny blue.

Thank you for sharing. I really dislike this new visual effects.

OW has a history of changing new hero visuals rapidly after their release (for better or worse), so I want to imagine this design isn’t final.

Lmao Reaper is in heaven with all the CC gone.

I suspect some of the more ‘fit and finish’ stuff is not complete - especially around anything that is new or reworked. I believe the sound effects around Bastion’s Ultimate are placeholders, for example.
