Keg Explosion Graphics

Ok, first off I want to say I searched high and low for anything like this thread, and I couldn't find anything. I apologize if I copied another thread. Second, I want to inform those of you reading that this is not another keg nerf/balance/buff post, this is about how the keg looks when it goes off. Now, on to business.

As all of you know, kegs are a very big deal in the midst of battle. If one happens to go off, however, the most you'll probably notice is either the tower collapsing, or MAYBE a glimpse of the explosion of the keg itself, and it doesn't look very fancy for something so important.

My suggestion: Change the graphics of the keg's explosion. I suggest that you make the overall explosion LOOK a little more rounded, just slightly. Also, keeping the fire there for a little longer would be cool. As you know the keg is a barrel full of gunpowder. Everytime you see anything like that go off in a cartoon (or the like) what happens? Usually, there is a slight moment of silence before it goes off. I think this would be worth implementing, as long as it is short enough that it doesn't affect gameplay. As soon as that is over, the screen is covered in an explosion. This is obviously not something that could be introduced, for obvious reasons. At the same time as the explosion, however, something rather interesting usually happens. The screen seems to shake! If this were to happen, even slightly enough that it doesn't really affect anything, it would make kegs seem all the more powerful.

In conclusion, there are several things that I feel could be added to the keg's explosion to make it seem more powerful, and you may be asking yourself, "Oh, why can't I look as awesome as austinthus's avatar?" or, more importantly, "Why do we need to improve on something that random?" Well, my answer is a simple one: New Users. I often see new players (sometimes my teammates, sometimes not) either a) run from a keg coming, or b) use a keg as a defensive weapon. I feel that adding this animation would make kegs feel more powerful to these new players, inspiring them to go out and use them as an offensive weapon, or to try their dear mother hardest to stop them from destroying their base. Thank you for reading. Please give me any and all constructive criticism you see fit.
