[ICON] Slayer, Skillset

[-Yuuh™]

Laguna Blade Icon remains overused and in my opinion the icon fits better to Puck's Dream Coil or Storm Spirit's Electric Vortex. Here some suggestions to Lina Inverse Skillset:

Current:



Suggested:
[Fiery Soul icon suggested by lilaznelementz]
[Dragon Slave icon suggested by AbyssPetra]











By Kanashimi:

Pros:
[+] Icons Fitting the Skills
[+] Lina Icons No More Overused
[+] Awesome Skillset


Cons:
[-] MSI
[-] Anything More?

[Roger Black]

Now we gotta find a dragon looking icon for the 1st skill t-up

[Kanashimi]

Imho they should be in that way:



Perfect. Really worth the MSI and replacing 2 overused icons

[Ali Radicali]

I don't like this at all. The Beta Chain Lightning icon doesn't match the colour scheme at all and misrepresents Laguna Blade (whereas the current is still marginally fitting). The fiery soul icon is probably too adult, which is probably exactly why this icon will get flooded with t-ups T.T

[Baldoro]

I've already T-upped this icon in another thread because it totally fits Lina and looks so perfect.

The rest looks a bit bad, T-down for it.

Laguna Blade current Icon or any Icon suggested will never fit the colour scheme until they change Laguna Blade animation, Slayer is a Pyromancer(C. Scheme: Red/Orange/Yellow) and her ultimate is an Lighting Bolt(C. Scheme: Blue/White). The suggested LB Icon it's not to fit the colour scheme, it's to fit the skill animation. I saw a suggested icon for Laguna Blade bad colored red and white, it'll never fit the current animation and IMO skillsets with a single colour scheme sometimes are realy bad. Pudge for example, will you tint red the Rot and Flesh Heap skills to fit the Red colour scheme from blood of Hook and Dismember?

You obviously don't realise that a colour scheme doesn't necessarily mean every icon has to be the same colour. The current Icon fits the other icons A LOT BETTER since it's not as garish and saturated as the one you're proposing. Yours is a deep, saturated blue with bright white, whereas the current is a much more subtle grayish blue.

1 : 0 current icon

Current Icon matches the animation better too, since it's straight, not jagged and bendy like yours.
2 : 0 current icon.

Glad we agree. Now look at the Laguna Blade you're proposing and the current one and tell me which iconset looks more "whole".

Did I say "recolour all icons to be exactly the same colour"? Nooo. A set of icons can be cosmetically appealing even if it isn't recoloured to the point where every icon looks the same, however this Laguna Blade icon misepresents the skill and looks a lot worse next to the other skills than the current one.

You mean the current or the suggested?
If the suggested, You must be blind.

The suggested, of course. That looks too manga...

Yeah, ok, I must be blind... but, since when art became objective?

[gnaLor]

T-up for both new icons.
And

Now we gotta find a dragon looking icon for the 1st skill t-up

Obviously fits if it's there it's because fits, but it's overused and fits better to the other heroes abilities than Laguna Blade IMO.

Well, well, these are simple details that can be edited by an Graphic Designer, I can't edit 'cuz I'm without CS4, Bryce 5 and bla bla bla(G. Design Programs).

Well, since we're voting for this icon and not for what 4 hours of photoshop could turn this icon into, I feel my vote is perfectly justified.

Current icon looks better and fits better than the proposed icon, simple as that.

[ResQ]

I like all sets.

good job!

It's your opinion, I'll never change it, just saying that can be edited(4 hours of photoshop? LoL, not for a professional) to fit perfectly but you wont like even so, the fact is that you like the current one and prefer to change the other heroes Skill Icon(Correct me if I'm wrong). Every one has own opinions and I'll respect yours.

Too adult? It's the same as in World of Warcraft (only slightly edited to fit the set), and wow is, same as wc3, for 12+.

by the way, how's this (created by bananahunt) for dragon salve?

[FlamingFist]

the last one is the best.

[Ravs]

BEEEEWBS! But no.
