I like this & am glad someone is trying to make things match better. That being said, I also kinda liked the shadowy mystery of the OG AoV; nice & spoopy.
On that note, I'm glad I'm not the only one who totally doesn't get the frickin' icon for this ability... Green flames?? What are we, Fel? We all know they had a purple one for the Beta, why not keep that color scheme? (I kinda get why though, on the other hand: a e s t h e t i c s. AoV being purple might've made the 1 green icon (Shadow Strike) stand out; now it's more like 2/2 for purple/green (well, with Hide))
