Help Unusual effect planning

Hi. I’ve always wanted to create something in the workshop and maybe get something published inside of the game. I was sketching some ideas and I thought about the idea of a unusual effect that changes depending on the kills you have, kinda like prof. killstreaks etc. Just small things, like color changing a bit or displaying the number of kills during current life?

Haven’t been in touch with the community in a while, so I’m not sure if this idea has been thrown out there yet, but would like some feedback. Also, could unusual effects make sound or does that ruin the whole game?

while generally all unusuals don't have any special effects, there is currently a community run contest for creating new halloween spell ideas.

your idea for sound effects and killstreaks may be right at home in that ecosystem, they have a discord for it somewhere

however don't let that stop you; I think killstreaks and sounds would be interesting for an unusual. If your able to put together a visual/audio example I think people may be more likely to consider your ideas
