[Suggestion] Ability Aoe Indicator

[Tyranness]

This is mainly just a suggestion that when you have a non aimed AoE ability selected (like Rhino Stomp), you have an indicator on the ground that shows you it's Area of Effect. This is mainly so you actually know if your move will hit and you don't waste 75 or 100 energy overestimating your abilities range. Something like a thin dotted circle around you for the ability selected

 

Really only suggest it for when selected so it doesn't stay in the way if you don't need to have it at the moment.

 

(Sorry if this is in the wrong place)

Don't have it show up for when the ability is selected otherwise people with 4 abilities equipped will always have an indicator. If it would show up if you're holding down the hotkey then that would be more helpful.

but to do something like this A.) you have ether have to have the skill highlighted the ENTIRE game and see a giant (or small depending on area it reaches) glowing circle around your warframe at all times

or make it B.) something like League of Legends where you have to click the ability then cast the ability which wouldd waste time and sometimes even get you killed

or maybe even C.) you would have it highlighted for a...ohhh...lets say a 2 sec time but then you wont see the ability circle unless its highlighted so before you do the ability you have to scroll wheel to the ability see the circle then cast it if its in range

or we could go out test it once or twice remember the range in the back of our heads and not add more time to that one sec where you need to cast that one ability RIGHT now or spend a revive kinda like we have now

and if you have it so everyone can see it and not just you thats just another thing that can cloud the screen in a fight and one more thing your computer has to process and bog you down with a circle glowing circle

If you're wondeirng what I mean when I say selected. I mean if you move the mouse wheel up or down you select different abilities for the middle mouse click. And it would only be you.

I like this idea, could even make it so say you hit 4 it shows the aoe circle for a couple seconds then in order to use/confirm the skill hit 4 again. But of course this would mean even more button mashing :p
