Should Ferrofluid's animation be changed?

it has no effect on the difficulty of the fight and it should make everyone's lives a lot easier.

... Umm, didn't you just contradict yourself? Besides, looking around for whoever you're tagged onto is part of the challenge in the mechanic, and from the way it acts right now, it was most likely designed this way for the player to look for the other player tagged onto him.

Yeah, I probably could've worded that last part better.

I'm not talking about making it easier to see which player you're tethered to, my gripe is that you can't see what kind of tether it is if something obscures the overhead symbol.

It's not a problem in Normal since only two people get hit with Ferrofluid and you see it in the status list, but in Savage everyone gets hit, and if you can't see the name and charge symbol your tether-buddy have because something blocks it (like the other players' names and symbols), then it becomes a 50%-chance guessing game. That's neither challenging nor a mechanic, that's just fake difficulty.

That's why I want to see the tethers change colors with the charge symbols; you'll still need to find your tether-buddy for trajectory purposes (so you don't fly into a Cascade pool or something), but at least you'll know what direction to run.
