RedHydra Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 The minimap Hero icon isn't very clear, but it gives you a decent idea of who it is. Currently, it is better than seeing a big red block. iatebambi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustBooomBina Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I assume that this happens, because the game has been recently updated. I remember before when a new patch was released there were a lot of drops in the beginning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumtook Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 In fact I love big red box, sometime when you have got the chance to wth mini map with only blink of an eye. At least the red one is your opponent and I respond faster . Or I bavent used to it yet? Ironsights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taznkid Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I prefer previous icons...once u got used to colors u could just glimpse map for position. Now, everyone's icon looks too similar. Ironsights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sora Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 that why i said make it bigger and have an option to change it back like flip screen :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTHER Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I too prefer the previous icons. Even though I could not make out who was who, it caught by attention faster. Also the new ones look a bit messy tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGrim Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Minimap icons should be an option imo those who like keep those who dont change back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EterNity Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 As a league and DotA player, I like these icons. They may take time to get used to as an AoS only player but, once you get used to it, you will like it. Apocalyptic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may take time to get used to as an AoS only player but, once you get used to it, you will like it. Â just like the flipped UI, right? oh yeah, they added an option because a lot of folks DIDNT like it. then new icons are -not- helpful and I seriously doubt I am goign to change my mind on that one, given the current set of icons. Â the big red block can be improved, i suppose, but what we have now is NOT better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogwarts Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Icons are better, its just new once you get used to them you will be like wtf i cant believed i liked those silly blocks. EterNity and Apocalyptic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Probably its only matter to get used to it, as it was in many different changes which many players disliked at the beginning. For example life bars. Now I can't even imagine how hard would be to play when every hero would have life bar with the same colour EterNity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANARCHY Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 ok considering we now have portraits we dont need individual colours for each player on the minimap thats just stupid make the enemy team have a RED ring around their portrait and your allies have a blue or green ring Doom and Ironsights 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarXX Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) i think its even better..... if you got a 27" monitor. Â i think this was implemented to distinguish mega creeps from heros.... Â me, im all for it. something about those icons that just stand out way more than a "larger" red dot. Â and with a large enough monitor i think it changes game dynamics in the sense that u will know who is exactly where.....

If possible get rid of that and it'll be great :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalyptic Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 then new icons are -not- helpful  You've got to be kidding me. Before this change one of the first things I did every game was memorize which heroes on the enemy team were which color so I couild glance at the minimap and know who was where. This makes it so much easier. There is no downside to the new icons except that they aren't what you are used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarXX Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 hmmmmm id make the icons a tad bit larger just for those using laptops.... i mean the next larger setting will do fine.... or maybe im just blind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EterNity Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 When 4.0 comes up, people complaining about the new buy menu being too complicated that the 3.0 one was better. Â When 6.0 comes up, people complaining about the new buy menu being too complicated that the 4.0 one was better. Â When the new HP bar UI comes up in, people complaining that the old one is better because they are used to have them in ladder game. Â I think I notice a pattern here... iatebambi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U kidding me? :D Why not simple change that color mode and see all enemies as red and all allies as yellow? U could do this whenever u want with one button near minimap. When u see gank coming towards u there is no time to check out player colors. ZERATUL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EterNity Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 If replacing the red dot with an picture with 5x5 pixels makes your computer lags, you probably want to upgrade your potato. Spooky and Moo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
