How should I say this, most of them aren't WC3 enough except for the 4th icon.

I'm not sure but this icon might have been suggested before at allstars forums. I think that Meat Hook should always have had this icon. I can't find any cons for this icon

The other icons are artworks of their ownkind but aren't "wcish" enough.

And please, for the future, post only one icon in one topic so we can focus better on them.

That would totally not fit Abaddon... T-down on this, and the rest of suggested icons.
They don't need changes.

It's not to look better! It's to differentiate from others Same/Equal icons. What do you think on the word OVERUSED?! õ.o

Yes it pretty needed buddy.. Overused icons are good? Ok what about all heroes with same icons for all skills?.. Some icons are used in 4 different heroes.

-Axe: T-Up
I'm not sure if the icon will look good in-game, considering all the details it has, but it sure looks way better.

-Pudge: T-D
Suggested way too many times before, and I still dislike it. It just looks bad...

-Necrolyte: T-Up
Great icon which fits the skill perfectly. Best icon on this thread.

-Nevermore: T-D
Ugly, un-warcraft-ish, and blurry.

-Ezalor: Null
Meh, I guess it's better, but I don't really like it...

-Rylai: Null
Sames as above.

-Anub'arak: T-D
There's gotta be something better than that out there...

T-Down for all, they either got no WC3-style or I just don't like them.

All of those looks warcraft-ish or is 10X better than the ones suggested above. And they might not look warcraft-ish for you, but it still looks 10X better than the ones suggested above. They're not warcraft-ish, but they attained the qualifications to be used in dota which is 1: Have a better icon the the first and 2: represent the skill better than the first or if the first had already represented the skill before, go back to rule no. 1
