    I introduced a couple of friends back to league these days and they were all amazed at how ugly the new summoner icons were.
    What do you guys think?
    I have to say that most of them look stylish and new. The new barrier and smite icon look so shiny.
    The only thing I can complain about is the flash icon which looks horrendous.

    I don't see the point in changing them. Yes they do look better in a way, but people were really used to the old ones and I haven't seen anyone complaining on the way the look...
    I also don't see the point in the constant changing of the normal skins(the way they are drawn) on some champions constantly either. I'd much rather have them spend more time on poping out new champions, items and mods more often :p

    I like them a lot better actually. I think it's just sort of a thing were people aren't used to it so it's a bit off putting. I think the art style is clearly much better now though, the old ones looked like a child drew them.

    I don't like them, and the old ones were fine in my opinion.
    But I'm already getting used to them, but not Ignite, that one is just awful.

    No idea why they changed them. Its like the old saying "If it's working dont fix it" I'm thinking on digging on the files and replacing the icons with the old ones if its even possible. The new icons are atrocious.

    Summoner icons don't really do anything in my opinion. They're just sort of there to add to the decoration to your profile. But for some reason, I really like collecting them because then I'd have more icons to choose from. I've collected a lot already, but I only really use just one and just keep it. I change my icon every year or so, or sometimes never.

    I think the new summoner icons are better looking, if anything. I think you friends may just be saying that because they are unfamiliar to it, a common reaction. Anyways, I believe that League of legends is constantly improving, and not the opposite. There are very little fixes for their new patches when they come out because it goes by the beta. I guess art is really subjective though.

    I've been using the same icon since pre-season 1 but I actually like the new summoner icons that have been released lately. I don't collect them or try to buy them, but I think they're pretty stylish and good looking. I've heard the opposite at times so I guess it is really subjective.

    I don't really like the old ones, but I don't mind the new ones.
    Like the role icons from Team Builder (e.g. Tank/Support/Assassin icons etc).
    Also some limited availability icons like the All Star one which I currently use.

    I like the new ones. Ghost and teleport look way better than the old ones and barrier actually looks like barrier. But I do prefer the old flash and smite icon in my opinion.

    I think the summoner icons are perfectly fine just the way they are, I really don't see a point in changing them. I didn't really care for them last season but this season, I don't mind them.

    They look fine for this season. There's no real point in updating the Summoner Spell icons unless they update a lot of the champion spell icons, in my opinion.

    I wish there was a feature to upload your own summoner icon. It would bring more uniqueness if you are able to have something your created or represents what you like.

    I really have no opinion regarding the other icons. The only icons I find cool are the ones that come with the ultimate skins. :D
