Ez's new in-game icon

Hey Riot, just a quick thing: could you recolor Ez's in-game portrait a bit? Right now, he has approximately the same skin tone as Orianna. It's kind of weird. It makes sense in his full splash art, but without that context it just looks like a poorly-lighted selfie.

Comparison:

I can tell them apart.

It's not that they're impossible to tell apart, it's that he shouldn't look that pale in a portrait.

Ezreal doesn't look pale. It's the glow from his ultimate your seeing on his face. It's more of a blue tone.

You're missing the point. It's odd that we don't get his natural hues in a portrait, which is supposed to be an easily interpreted icon. I understand the want for an action pose or a cool moment, but if it sacrifices clarity in the way the character's portrayed, it should be adjusted. This isn't really a problem for players who know the game, but for newer ones it could be confusing.

I'm more concerned about the bug on Ezreal's icon for the minimap

I can't stop thinking of this http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3inyoX2of1r2qwhy.png when I see Ezreal's new splash.

Yeah, it's not immediately obvious it's Ez, especially when you're only glancing at the minimap from the corner of your eye and not fully looking at it. A friend and I mistook him for Singed one game then realised our mistake when he ulted ...

Yeah they should remove the blue glow, it looks like some weird mushroom.

Agreed. The blue glow makes it hard to tell it's Ezreal.
