Idea: Sound cue for Destro Staff ulti

A lot of people are complaining in-game and on the forum, the damage of the destro ulti is indeed insane and getting caught in a destro staff ulti (especially an emp one) does suck. I see some players jokingly refer to it as 'Eye of Shame'.

On the other hand the PVE crowd loves the ulti, and it makes destro staffs shine a little in a world of dual wielders.

What if the destro staff ultis were cued by a magnificent thundering boom that made the sound cue of Meteor fade in comparison?

I think the PVE'ers would love the ulti even more, and PVP'ers would have a heads-up - in PVP there are so many AOE's that you are (I am, at least) easily taken by surprise by destro ulti + cc and it only takes a few seconds until I'm a pile of vampiric ashes. For me, the lack of a cue to match the badass-factor of the ulti is part of the problem. I'm not asking for the same level of warning as Meteor, but just enough time for a fast-responding player to hear the sound and know to roll-dodge for his or her life. It wouldn't make players invulnerable to CC either, so there's still a pretty big chance that they'll burn even if warned by a sound.

I like the ulti for its zerg-breaking ability, but you rarely get any sort of warning if it is deployed by a coordinated group or skilled individual. Maybe an impossible-to-miss sound cue would make it seem more "fair" when you die to it, because you will know that at least if you'd been on your toes, you might have survived.

Again, not asking for Meteor-level pre-warning, just a badass sound cue, which would just make it cooler in PVE even.

What do you guys think? If the idea has already been discussed, please ignore (and point me to the right thread, thank you) :)
