Default [ICON] Lifestealer Infest


Hey

I just wanted to resuggest one of my old suggestions:

I think the current infest icon is just not fitting to naix's ultimate.

Well,.. my suggestion: Just load and unload. It's simple and no MSI and i think it fits well.

The current iconset:

My suggested iconset:

Inside the creep:



Hope you like it.

While the icon gives a somewhat accurate representation of the effect of the spell, I feel for one there is way to much black space, in it aswell as it being to plain to fit the "ultimate feel"

T-down.

T-down, just doesn't have enough flare to it. Too boring and bland.

I only like this one

Infest is just too plain and boring.

A recolor of the current skull would do. T-down.

The Rage proposed one is fairly good, but the infest one, even though entirely accurate doesn't even look like an ultimate spell. It is too bland as others have pointed out. Perhaps if it was edited somehow I'd have given it a T-up, but this just doesn't really fit. T-down.

a pro is, that is is NOT edited and ingame.

the main t-down arguement was: it is not shiny enough for beeing an ultimate icon... well- I also can't see any special effects in his ultimate.

ofc.. it is possible to create a bloody splatter icon, which is 90% filled red... but i still think, that this -- very very simple and plain -- icon shows what happens when you use the ultimate...

On my opinion there are already enough over-glowing-shiny-ulti-icons...

thnx to all t-up-ers

I would prefer something like this:

or even better:

All ingame Icons. Since it has 2x2 icons with same color scheme, a fitting ulti icon (he rips from the inside through a body) and the passiv on the third slot I think it looks better.
Of course this would require a rename of his Open Wounds

As has been already said. The icon sure represents what the spell does and all but is bland beyond belief as well... I'd rather keep a unfitting icon that looks awesome rather than change it to fitting but bad-looking icon.

for those reasons you just have to t-up.

why?
you think the current overused icon looks awesome?
sorry,... but i disagree.

This icon is warcraftish, fits the color scheme, fits the spell and is ingame ... it is just bland.

Compare it to tiny's toss icon... it has the same style... i can't see any "change tiny's toss icon"-threads!
