Cool [ICON] Anti-Mage Blink


Its A Simple Change since Anti-Mage Blink Cosmetic has been changed few Maps ago i kindly request that instead of using the old fashion blink icon which is used by QoP to use the icon that was originally used for the Demon Hunter as for evasion skill to make the Blink icon for anti-mage since now the icon Properly fits the cosmetic

Current icon


Proposed Icon


Old Icon Set


New Icon Set


Pros:
- Fits Antimage Blink Ability.
- No MSI.
- Better than the old Blink icon.
- Fits the Iconset.

Cons:
- Used by Gondar.
- Anything Else ?!!

I know it fits, but where is the action of Magina blinking?

But, nevertheless, i T-up. It really fits him.

^^^ After Anti-Mage got the change to his Blink animation, I feel that this icon fits with the idea that he is "splitting" his position to warp to a new spot.

Anyway, good idea, but what about the Queen of Pain's Blink? I feel that either Anti-Mage or QoP should have their moves changed to a different name for the sake of mixing things up. Queen of Pain's Blink is a bit different from Anti-Mage's.

I disapprove, if anti-mage's blink was anything special then sure but it's not. It's just blink.

It's a nice idea, but everyone knows the current icon as Blink.

And everyone knows the icon you're proposing as Evasion.

Yes... everyone even who do not play DotA knows that first icon is blink and second icon is evasion. It will be confusing if changed it to new DotA players.

thanks all for commenting..to the reivewers who are against this suggestion.. blinking is the same of teleportation.. or the movement of the hero.. and this icon represent the movement from point a to point b be for the same model of Anti-mage.. so why not to be implemented[COLOR="Silver"]

I like the icon, but it will cause misuderstandings and confusion to new players, and to 90% of pub players which will say: OMG, Now I have evasion!!!11!! I are imbaaa.

Evasion doesn't look like a Demon Hunter moving IMO. I mean it does look that way, here, but In-game, its different
T-Down, I don't think it fits really well.

PROPOSED ICON:
1. The icon shows Antimage. Fits with his color theme.
2. It shows his hair flying, indicating the exteme speed of teleporting. His arm is also 'lagged' behind him.

CURRENT ICON:
1. WTF is it? Is it energy? Is it some sort of blade? Is it a flash of light? It has NOTHING to do with teleporting or a really quick dash. OK, there seems to be a wisp breaking the sound barrier to me.
2. The only way you would know it was blink is if you played melee. Dota is not melee. By that logic I could say Skeleton could use the tauren reincarnation because 'people know it from melee'. Clockwerk's ultimate is an upgrade fo archer damage? WTF?

The ladder Blink icon symbolizes Mortreds/Ladder Wardens face from the side. The glow is over the eye, showing the 'blink' (fast closing of the eye). You can see the lips under the glowing and the arc is her helm...

To the topic. It perfetly fits to him. He doesn't even teleport, he only moves faster than light, we all know that if we read his story. It fits his color scheme perfectly. I wonder why it doesn't gets implented...
