[Visuals] Slayer's Laguna Blade

Kape Puro · 11-23-2009, 02:57 AM

Currently the skill set looks like this.

1. Dragon slave is way off because it shows the searing arrow icon. (not to mention the model is a phoenix) Although I have some ideas on what icons to suggest I'm sure somebody else suggested an icon for this so I won't try and conflict with him. I'm merely suggesting that we change the already over used icon for dragon slave.

2. Laguna Blade doesn't even look like a blade to begin with. The current skill description says, "Fires a bolt of lightning at a single target, dealing critical damage." Although using lightning for a fire themed hero is plausible I think this icon would suffice.

It would fit the color scheme better and looks more like a blade. But then again it would cause issues with the skill animation and description. So I suggest a second icon.

It's the original Laguna blade Icon that has been tinted to fit in the color scheme. And to make it more plausible we should also tint the lightning animation in the same fiery color. This has been done with Rasta's forked lightning(which is now Ether Shock) so it would be a no brainer to do it with lina's laguna blade as well.

Current icon set:

Suggested icon set:

Suggestion summary:
1. Replace Dragonslave icon with a more fitting one.
2. Replace Laguna Blade icon and animation color.
3. If you managed to drop by and don't feel like comenting just give it a bump or a t-up if you liked it. That would really help alot.

1st icon looks cool but doesn't fit.

2nd icon looks bad to me...

doomsheep · 11-23-2009, 07:55 AM

so now they arent even satisfied suggesting all the icons to be of the same color. they want to recolor the spells too.

How bout changing her ulti visual to something like a slim horizontal Purification (to make it look sharp), that can pierce through the target's body. This would fit the name Laguna Blade and the 1st icon but maybe we should chg the description like:

The Slayer fires a concentrated burst of fire, dealing critical damage to the target

This is what I was thinking about the first Icon. As for the 2nd Icon it's just a flimsy 2 min photoshop of the old one. The guy who re-colored Rasta's first skill can do this way better and its an a no brainer suggestion.

Rhasta's skill was not recolored. It was based of spirit link with the lightning sound.

I like the idea of a sideways purification but make it black cause Lina is based of the anime character.

Need new icon for 1st spell!

Kape Puro · 12-01-2009, 09:06 AM

Bumping All my suggestions after 3 days of absence.

ResQ · 12-01-2009, 09:44 AM

The icon color scheme is great as it is at the moment (red/orange, red/orange, red/orange, blue), it fits great.

No need to change something in lina's ultimate, since you had to change the skill animation ingame too (it's a blue lightning/ lazer)

Yet you do get custom tint add ons, like a black lightning thing i spotted. T-up to the second set, but I'd rather have black lightning.

Arcade24 · 12-01-2009, 09:34 PM

How about this? I know...it's a inverted colour icon...but the idea is that Laguna Blade should be a black wave....or energy sword! I know mine is blue but someone could recolour it to a orange'ish theme with the core black!!
T-UP on your icon. Fits well

Rubn · 12-01-2009, 09:38 PM

T-down. Your suggested icons make the iconset very boring. Its fine as it is Laguna Blade should have an other color.

Subway · 12-01-2009, 10:14 PM

YES!! EVERYTHING SHOULD BE RED AND HAVE ZERO FLAAAAAAVOR!! Z0MG INSTA-IMPLEMENT.

p.s. t-d.

CrYn00b · 12-01-2009, 10:25 PM

Recolored icons are simply not worth the MSI. Then you should make a custom one.

It's boring because it's been like that since the day she was born.

Icefrog will never change Laguna Blade, Lina is hero made out of anime char in "The Slayers" Laguna Blade is one of her spells in cartoon, and spell is lighting. I think Ice wanna keep Lina as close as he can to anime Lina
