'cause I am a sucker for flavor.

Well, there's that and the fact that most cone-like abilities have short ranges for a reason. Without really fast missle speeds they can be exceptionally inaccurate at longer ranges. Since this is a cone-ability on a champion that's supposed to excel at longer ranges I had to make due. Furthermore, it's an ability that rewards you for attacking 'just' the right range (a bit like Razor's (from Dota) or Nidalee's Q).

So that was my thought process on the matter.
