I like them much better.
Especially the Kroxigor... |

The visual confusion between catcher and lineman is also frustrating. |

I've noticed the side view of at least one of the new catchers includes a colored blob in the top forward corner of the icon that doesn't appear to belong.
Otherwise, I love the new icon set. Much more distinctive than the original. |

I agree. Actual icons are really confusing. |

I think the new ones look better for the most part. The catchers need to be more distinct though as I mix them up with linemen a lot. I'd just give them back their goggles since those were pretty funny. |

Also, the old icons were much more congruent with the overall icon aesthetics of the rest of the teams. |

I like the new Kroxigor, looking like a giant toad with prehensile tongue, while I find the new catchers confusing. |

I'm with the OP. No harm to anyone that has worked hard on icons, but one day, we'll be able to choose... |

Really? Did they release a THIRD version of Slann today or something?
Maybe 2 or 3 sentences of explanation would help. I do not even understand what the OP prefers. He just says he finds 'them' better. And Purplegoo agrees.
I had to push very hard to get someone to take care of fixing the 'old' catchers.
It would be a recurring nightmaire if someone went and ignored this very important fix and did undo all the work now again. |

I consider using abstract icons when I play vs Slann, that's how confusing I find the new players. Luckily they all break easy so I don't really need to tell them apart. |

I don't even know what is going on.
Anyways, Whatballs catchers are great. Whatball thank you very very much for doing new catchers. Thanks.
I quit Slann over the icons and it's only thanks to you that I can use this race again. |

The topic is about old slann icons then the OP says he likes them better. I thought it was very clear. |

Or.. he may have invented the new icons and asked whether the community liked it.
Can you really tell the difference from the post?
Ah, you mean the headline rather than the poll. Fair enough, I guess.
As you can see what is mostly confusing to me is that there were so many versions, there is no one using Slann right now except for Rat Salat and he doesn't use Catchers. So I can't even see what the icons look like. (Or rather the one important one.)
So this all just forces me to go in full on speculation mode over everything and the little detail of the headline I probably just overlooked in all the chaos.
It also makes me wonder if all the people who have voted here did see all the different icons and did understand the question correctly.
I really doubt it. Same for the next 10-20 people who are going to vote on it . |
