Role Selecting Icons: Top and ADC Bottom Icons look the same both being just a square...

I think the ADC Bottom Icon should be changed to show a picture of an arrow or a gun. Perhaps even a gun shooting an arrow.. That way people know what is supposed to be on the bottom lane...

The top lane should-remain a square as it is already because the top lane ultimately represents a sort of foundation that holds up the team..

I just recently noticed a NUNU playing adc bottom lane instead of playing top or jungle... This nunu won his lane, playing that position of bottom.. Ultimately if it works it works, there shouldn't be a restriction on the bottom lane but I do think the icons should be changed to show the primary purpose of what is typically supposed to be on the bottom lane... Nunu playing adc bottom isn't a regular thing...

Please change the look of the icons when selecting roles and on the profiles where it says what rank someone is in that certain position...

Note: the nunu in that example should-get credit for playing NUNU Bottom Lane, because that is what he did...

Please check out my post on how ranked games can be fixed.. A much needed update... I have a follow up post on how rank can be fixed located here: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/XAqMx0oA-a-suggestion-on-how-ranked-should-work-since-there-is-a-much-needed-update-best-discussion-post

No, you're looking at it wrong. The top shows the line tracing the left side and top of the square, mirroring how top lane looks on the map. The bot shows the line tracing the bottom and the right side, mirroring how the bottom lane looks on the map. That's why they look like they do.

Furthermore, bot lane is not a slot that's intended to be 100% ADC marksmen. In theory, Riot wants any carry, be it a mage carry or melee carry, to be able to be the bot laner. We saw some of this last year with Heimerdinger, Ziggs, and Swain operating as bot lane carries. This is why the gun/arrow won't work, because a carry =/= a marksman. All marksmen at current are carries, but not all carries are marksmen. Cassiopeia, Swain, Yasuo, Master Yi, Jax, and many others are also qualified as carries.

im not saying its 100% adc marksmen but its mostly adc marksmen for logical reasons.... I do know the map is a square... Regardless the top and bottom icons look the same... A new picture would look better...
