I can't tell Malzahar's icon from Kennen's now.

Could you tweak the icons so that Malzahar and Kennen are a little more distinct?

All I can see are purple hoods which make them basically the same. If you could at least see a little more of Kennen's face to see the yordle, maybe...

How to tell the difference:

One is always banned, the other is not.

Jax Malzahar Kennen "Jax jg, Kennen top and Malz mid and everyone loses their minds when glance at the mini map."

I find Malzahar's icon to be especially distinct due to the intense lighting from his hood's void symbol.

Kennen's icon I find distinct due to how sharply geometrical or angular his hood is.

I still don't see what was wrong with Kennen's old icon and splash

Riot's new art in general has been pretty lackluster. Kennen look awful in his. I get that every single bit of art has to be "edgy" and "intense" and full of action-poses, drama and lens flare... but c'mon! How about it be readable from a distance when it's shrunken down in-game? And tone back the over-the-top crap. The new Dragon fist Lee Sin skin art is so edgy and extreme it punched my mother in the face and stole her heart pills. Is a rioter letting their teenage son decide what the splash arts will look like?

Let's not do to League what they tried to do to Looney Tunes... eh?

Made this same thread and got downvoted lol

I don't understand why they keep updating the splashes though. "Not up to the current standard" even though I really liked the old art style and am not a fan of this new one. I mean, no offense to the artists but this thing Rammus is hideous.

We need a mouseover name pop up for champ select, really. Icons change so often I sometimes have no idea who they are until the match loads.

I think more important is differentiating poppy and tristana. I've lost ranked games because of adc's panic picking tristana only to realize that they picked the definition of "one-and-done".

Just happened to me with tristana and poppy...

I like how a lot of kennen's skins are just recolonize of his old splash

Homestly, I always mistake Malzahars icon for a red caster minion

The hood is strong with these two. But their face is.. do they have one?

When the enemy team is: Jax Malzahar Kennen Khazix Lulu

And you can't tell who is who on the minimap from a glance.

Yeah I accidentally banned my team mates' Kennen when I was trying to ban Malzahar. Its a problem.

Sometimes when I look at the minimap, I see elise even though it's malz.

KnowledgeArmada5/9/2016, 11:08:55 PM1 votes

This. The first time I saw the enemy team pick malz I was like, "Who did they just first pick??? Is that Kennan, because I have no idea."

I don't see a problem myself, they are clearly two different shades.
