Sin'dorei300: Useful.

So it's just the hero armor icon enlarged on a normal icon size? That's not very original I'd say (also referring to the other icons). All get 2/5 from me

"Not original" but is very useful. Seriously, this is for the people who want the icons and the other beta icons. Really, you're going to vote 2/5 for something he didn't create. Of course it's not original, it's for usefulness.

I know it can be useful but for the concept itself, it's still 2/5
What was so hard in taking an icon already made by Blizzard and putting it in a normal icon size? That's what I mean plankingwolf

Re-sizing and pixel quality?

This is useful for who doesn't had ButtonManager or BLPLab. 2.5/5

People calm down, this is another variation of king helmet item. Since it was already in-game, it was without proper borders, it was too small. I extracted this from MPQ, resized it and added proper borders. This is' very useful if you ask me. Since these icons were created by Blizzard, but were never properly used. There is already purple helmet version of this as an item.

Because not all people don't know how to "make something into normal size"

I couldn't agree more.

Seriously I would suggest that you stay with map reviews!
Also as PlankingWolf said, not all have Button Manager or know how to use it.

Now now.
If people are not familiar with the button manager, they should.
I will agree that these icons are somewhat useful, but they really don't deserve any rating. For that they are simply too simple and too accessible to the public already.

I never said the icon isn't useful, I know it will be to many people. But I should agree with you, I prefer map reviewing, not icon/model reviewing. I just review them when I am bored :/

im sorry but .... this is highly redundant and i dont noe how it got approved. any person could make this in under a minute.

"not all have Button Manager or know how to use it"
the button manager is free. it is accessible. it is easy as fuck to learn and use. this is just the worst excuse. if genin32 wanted to be more useful, he'd upload a single tutorial on how to use it instead of spamming the icons section.

why dont i upload every single icon in the MPQ but with autocast borders because hey, not everyone has button manager right?

before anyone attacks me for this aggressive post, im only here to make a bloody obvious point that this shit doesn't deserve approval and anyone objectively judging the icon would realise this.

How about to calm down for a minute? I agree it is only resized blizzard icon, but still no need to unleash your rage upon this comment section nor uploader.

I personaly dont give a "banana" about this, it can be useful and sometimes it can save some of your time.

Because the borders and Button Manager are not the matter here and the quality lost in up-sizing is.

what the... firstly yes it is the only matter. you are literally the only person who gives a shit about the so called 'quality loss' - at least i've got solu9 and shadow fury sharing my opinion.

secondly, u didn't answer my question properly.

if any of you, moderator included, truly believes this should be approved because it 'can be useful and can save some of your time' (i also like the careful wording of 'can', because in 99/100 scenarios for 99/100 people it won't be useful and won't save time) then surely you wouldn't object to me uploading every icon with new borders?


but whatever i feel like im making a bigger deal of this than it shud be, and no one else cars as much so i'll drop it. to clarify i've not really got a problem with the icon itself, merely its potential to set a precedence of laziness whereby more users upload more effort-lacking icons under the excuse of 'usefulness'

I haven't rated it just because of that reason. Besides it's already approved, simple and lacking as it is right now.

it cant be rated simple and useful nor any rating. this icon is 5/5 because it already is made by blizz.

Is very useful thanks

Useful? 0.0 This can be done with Image Extractor II and BLPLab or Button Manager.

The image size in MPQ is 32x32, hence the quality suffers a lot. This one is from Alpha so it's 64x64.
