Does anyone currently like this spell’s effect?
I honestly enjoyed more the original one before the release came in. I only wish it had more vibrance. The lines were so dull out /transparent. Make the lines a bit more chaotic and demonic in color, Redish Purple tone with high hue /saturation. Lastly, improve the weight of the sound so it actually feels intense/strong. it would make it feel way more satisfying.
the current MR looks like a lame version of an imp firebolt that you can barely see. it simply has no weight to it and it’s not satisfying visually. =/

I do think the spell animation is kind of lacking, and that the old animation was a bit better.
Big agree on that improving its visuals and sounds would favor it a little bit more in terms of perception.

Almost all the previous spell animations were better. Remembering the old animations for demo/destro they are severely lacking in oomph look wise.
I remember hand of guldan used to be a lot bigger than the small tiny explosion we get currently or shadowbolt or the incinerate for destro.
I don’t do too much graphic design or color adjustments but something feels off from the current particles/effects to most of our spells. Wielding very chaotic magic but not feeling very chaotic when throwing it out.
Some of the particles seems to be missing some strange glow to them as well. I’d expect in 2022 that by now they use new graphics assets to current wow spell designs. I mean look at felguard with felstorm.
It isn’t terrible but with their budget all these caster spells should look pretty amazing.
Don’t get me started on robes designs.
Just feels off when you have players in reddit or other forums creating some pretty amazing ideas/designs just as a free time hobby because they love the game as oppose to it being in a working department.

The sound effect of MR is rather lame honestly. I like the idea and purpose of the spell, needs a new sound though. Something ‘‘affliction’’ sounding with a bigger effect on the mob of actual implosion of dots like a purple cloud/swirl bloodlike explosion, a small bolt toward a mob makes zero sense.

I agree with your feedback on this matter. I also like your suggestion on what could be done to improve the visual and audio experience of MR.
I think MR in itself as a spell is not bad, but the aesthetic and artistic interpretation of it is just poor. I really hope that they take some of our feedback into consideration for the new expac.
This spell is really lacking in visual and audio Effect.
As for older spells. I tend to have mixed feelings to be honest. Sometimes its not the visual that is the issue but more of the sound effect. But yeah there were some better interpretations done before, so not really sure why was it removed!
