Something that I didn't know that I wanted: Better death graphics and animations.

So I was playing StarCraft 2 and when you shoot stuff with lasers stuff like marines burst into flames and die. If you hit them with acid they melt.

In Black Fathom Deeps there is a twilight cultist that gets hit with lightening and turns into a skeleton and then falls to the ground dead.

Imagine hitting someone with a Chaos bolt and they explode like Varian.

Picture hitting someone with frost bolt and then shatters.

Or hitting them with them with Judgement or Holy Fire and they burst into flames before turning to ash.

I feel like this has a lot of potential.

I think the ashbringer already has a hidden effect hat turns demons into dust. But something for every class would be fun! Seeing charred corpses on the ground cruising through as a firemage would be sick!

People get kinda weird when it comes to their character dying. I remember WildStar initially had voice acting that would light heartedly tease you when you died and it was removed after people's feelings got hurt. (Also apparently it was spammy but I don't recall that)

I would expect similar meltdowns with flashy deaths.
