Super random, but thanks to Riot

The new Shaco icons look super beautiful and fitting. I don't know how to get the person who made the art to read this, but lots and lots and LOTS of thumbs up and applause. It's friggin amazing. Makes me want to main Shaco despite not using him outside one or two rifts and lots of aram draws.

Related note- can you do Eve's icons? With how much you captured the terror clown with the icon art, I think you could get the essence of Eve as well :D.

Glad you like them! I'll pass that one to the artist.

New Cho'Gath ones should be in the next PBE cycle!

Do you know if Evelynn will get new icons by chance? They look very...non-shaco level of fitting.Evelynn Shaco

She could get some in the future. We are beginning work on some new icons for some of the Mages that are getting updated. Once we get through those we can discuss, depending on bandwidth, if there are some other champs we would want to get too.

A bit off-topic but I saw that Fiddlesticks model update concept a week ago, and wanted to ask if the visuals of fiddle are in the works.

I just love fiddlesticks but he looks soooo outdated and not one percent scary ^^ the spells and balancing is perfect, he is just feeling old...

RiotReav33 votes

Sadly there is no Fiddle VU in progress. He might get some small gameplay tweaks for the mage roster update but that's all that is currently planned for fiddle.

He's not getting updated, but maybe Kennen? He is after all getting a new skin and he could use some love :P

A vfx for cho would be necessary. His hitboxes for the abilitys can also be missleading in comparison to his visual effects

How much work goes into making these newer ability icons (time wise)? They're very pretty, but obviously not in the same work category as a splash art.

Also, when making NEW icons, what guidelines are you guys following that you didn't in the past. I noticed, for instance, you guys tend to really stick to one primary color when making these new icons. For instance, kayle's old outdated icons used to look pretty bad and mismatched, and unclear. her new ones all use red/orange/warm colors.

While it's true that it takes much more art time to make a splash, the icons can go through several rounds of design feedback to make sure they are conveying the ability correctly.

I guess Gragas E was made by a random guy/girl and totally out of the game?

YES I approve, now my Full AP Cho will have icons that match the strength of the abilities!! >:D [Insert evil but gentlemanly laugh here]

Hey Reav3, any chance Quinn will be getting new ability icons in the future? :>

RiotReav31 votes

She doesn't have any currently in development but any champions with low quality icons are on the table to get updated ones some day.

DwarvenGiant1 votes

Huh. I wonder, do you really consider Quinn's ability icons "low quality"? They seem to fit today's standards.

Valor Bot1 votes

They're not really as colorful and detailed as the newer ones, like Lux's and Gangplank's.

DwarvenGiant1 votes

I don't think that icons need to necessarily be very colorful/flashy.

Valor Bot1 votes

They don't, but icons that vary wildly in style and detail aren't going to help much in establishing a visual and artistic consistency for League.

If Cho icons in next PBE, VU probably in 2019? 2020? Chogath item 3070
