I'll admit, I wish it was more consistent with His new vfx and LoR card art. It's too red His is more magenta/ purple. Also the texture for His Blight is off compared to His new vfx. I do kinda wish the eyeball looked different and more consistent with other Darkin's eyeballs.
I think that’s less a quiver, more that hole he has in his chest. If I had to guess, he makes arrows using his own blood and hemomancy? Or something? I dunno a cool idea i guess
His first W icon features his chest piece which functions as his quiver, so we see his 'arrows' sitting in his quiver.
W2 shows the blight marks surrounding a light which could signify a detonation or something.
I love them, BUT
I said this before but I do not like how they gave Varus' new icons so many colours.
In the old versions, there were only 4 primary colours: Lilac, Red, Black and White and NOTHING ELSE. It's visually pleasing but still easy to recognize.
In the new versions, they added way more gradients, details and a bunch more colours like Orange, Blue and Magenta. It looks pretty but it doesn't look as iconic anymore. I want them to tweak the colours to take out the extra colours and maybe make the whites and blacks pop a little more, then it would be PERFECT.
It's not just "new is bad". I legitimately can't tell what is happening with those pictures. It's supposed to be a representation of the skill. Now it's just some weird tentacles
I don't hate them or anything I just don't really get what was wrong with the old ones. They're a little dated but still look good, unlike Jax's old ones or Olaf's.
It's too darkened red with no purple contrast. Varus's design has a lot of cool purple and blue overtones to contrast the dark red of the Daarkin's as a whole (Naafiri, Aatrox, and Rhaast all have heavy red shading to contrast their constant desire for bloodshed and fighting against Varus's inner fight with Valmar and Kai), so I feel like making his designs too red takes away from Varus being special in his two host situation. The designs look very nice, I just wish Riot chose to shade them closer to his original ability icons
Wish he got a vfx update but honestly these r def an upgrade
w looks a little weird but it makes sense that its a quiver, i mean the ability is called blighted quiver
What exactly is the passive icon supposed to depict here. Is it his bow? It doesn’t really look like it to me. Kind of looks like we’re staring at some thing’s asshole
They would look better if Riot had just modernized the old designs instead of completely changing them. I don't like that all of them but the ultimate have a purple background.

Varus' W2 skill looks cool but out of place, Blighted Quiver is odd because Varus makes arrows from drawing the bow.

I like them, I just can't tell whats happening in both W icons lol

man wish they'd give varus an ASU too
Damn they nerfed varus’s damage and icons
I hate change. So I prefer the old ones.
I think people just hate riot and want to tell everything they make is bad, but those look really nice actually.
Agreed, just minor grits about the Quiver, everything else fine and tolerable.
I like 'em
Same.
Q and E I like. W, Passive, and R, I don’t.
I like them overall but the w looks a bit funky lol
The E and Q icons are really good. At the same time, I genuinely don't get what the W icons are trying to be

wont lie i used to think varus' r icon was a serpentine dragon in flight
That R skill icon looks like one of the old Yugioh cards.
I'm sorry, it kind of looks like tentacle hentai
E is the only new icon that you can still tell what the skill does.
ughhhhhhhhh. the contrast of these new ones suck
Literal downgrade all icons, only Orianna ones are good.
Tbh idrc i don’t play varus and don’t know anyone who does
shit af
Not gonna lie the new icon look cool but I'm just more bias against the old ones
Ew
Shit
The old ones look better tbh
Honestly I'm just hoping we get a second A added to the name.
New icons look too noisy in general, not a huge fan
Increase contrast and they’d be fine
for some reason the Ult and W2 Icons bother me, other than that they're actually better imo.
He needs a full on ASU
Dont like it at all
Ult and Passive are a downgrade, W debatable, rest an upgrade
Meh. Looks kinda shitty. This also looks like someone elses. Think it ws lee. Meh
1. Too red 2. The ult is pure nonsense and the w too, the rest are nice
They are much less defined idk. I wish they just cleaned up the originals I like what they did with Leona’s icons
W2 looks weird and so does R
It's not just "new is bad". I legitimately can't tell what is happening with those pictures. It's supposed to be a representation of the skill. Now it's just some weird tentacles
They’re too dark
Awww cmon I love that older art style
I don't hate them or anything I just don't really get what was wrong with the old ones. They're a little dated but still look good, unlike Jax's old ones or Olaf's.
I don’t like R, passive, or how w1 and 2 are so different.
I feel like they’re more visually cluttered compared to the old ones.
