When you select an icon, display on the right a description of where it was obtained. That's it.

They've basically become collectors items for all intents and purposes, it's gotten to the point where I don't even remember where I've gotten some of them but there is a story behind them. Sometimes I've forgotten that story because all I have is the image to go off of and sometimes I'll have a friend who asks me "Hey where'd ya get that" And I have to search a wiki just to recall where I got an icon. I'd absolute lovely for this tiny touch up to something that doesn't get acknowledged a whole bunch but I'm certain we all enjoy.

sure some of them are cool enough that I would pay for them like the Mecha eye one

Well, that's how it's supposed to be. You buy the one you think is worth it. They aren't pokemon, you don't try to get every one you think is cool. Just one that you'll use the most and find worth the RP. They give out tons of free ones just for playing (or 1 IP for some events).

As for the in-game effects, they didn't want that in regular matches because it interferes with clarity. They said they would consider a compromise, and with the thing they did with the mastery emote if you use a Worlds team icon during Worlds, I can see them adding permanent ones next season.
