Yeah I dont see the point of it but then again having those people who wait for the last second to counter pick was annoying too.

One out of 10 games you get people who are willing to talk, but mostly its just people who wait to last pick AM against ax/undying and then bitch because they never get any farm.

I tought it was mildly confusing sometimes to see different icons but yeah I'm not for or against it. Whatever reddit bitches about gets done, maybe we should bitch more too! Make a weekly complaint thread!

I agree with it though, I mean why have 5 different skill icons for the same hero it's confusing just make it a universal thing.

I mean if you play dota for even half a year you wouldn't be confused by the icons, and it's not like the skills themselves look significantly different
I'd be more confused if they kept the icons and put the skills in different order

also on that note I agree that they should retain the original icons for items, that Axe blademail icon confused me for a bit when I clicked on an enemy hero with the new immortal skin.
at first glance I thought it was a crimson guard and I was wondering why he got it when our team was magic burst heavy.

It's not the skill icons. It's items and buffs.

that blademail icon sucks balls.

if anything this gives item makers more freedom bc they dont have to worry about creating icons that could potentially be confusing

sure but when the entire effect of a custom item icon can be replicated with mods then they become marginal selling points really

Don't all custom buffs/icons have associated custom animations anyway? Which would still be visible to everyone?

Dunno, the key complaint was that new axe blademail and i haven't seen the actual effect it produces.

I think technically the drow icon set doesn't change any effects to my knowledge but the various buff icons associated with it would be confusing to somebody who's never seen it

so no

You'll play, you'll suck and you'll get yelled at. Thats pretty much the dota you know and love.

Do we treat yango as one of ours or as one of theirs?
I'm so confused.
