Display Click Power Activity in the Power Tray

[Enamel_32]

One of my favorite smaller updates is the option to show the remaining recharge time of a power, displayed over the power icon. So here I am, asking for more!

 

What: My suggestion is to add another UI option to display whether a click power is currently active, like the status window and its icons (which depending on your settings may blink when they're nearly expired), but overlaid on the power itself in the power tray.

 

Why: It's easy to lose track of active effects, especially at higher levels and on large teams/leagues where you might end up with several shifting rows of icons. It's still possible to check for the power I'm after, but hard to do quickly in the midst of other things. For some powers like Moment of Glory, that's important information to have in the heat of battle. Instead, I could look at the power sitting there in the tray - something I do all the time to see if it's ready to use - in a fixed position. Much easier, right?

 

How: I think there are a lot of possible solutions, like adding a power highlight ring, changing the tint or opacity of the icon, or even putting that blue spinning indicator around it like with toggles. I'm sure the dev team can figure out some cool design variations of their own. As long as it conveys that a power is active I'm happy, and if it also conveys when it's close to ending, even better.
