You've probably heard a lot of "(Zilean KogMaw Udyr Orianna Ezreal etc)'s minimap icon looks (awful, too dark, too bright, too similar, etc.)"

Here is what dota 2 has been doing and it solves pretty much every complaint. Each portrait is distinguishable, share a similar art style and orientation, and look good overall.

Am I crossing the line here? Is this not doable?

I'm sure this has been suggested before, but as far as I know, nobody has done a side-by-side comparison of the two.

It's just completely unnecessary. I still find some of the older splash arts confusable as well. It's not the fault of the system but the fault of the artists.
