You're wrong Try make more original and not so random and flat icon. Increase contrasts, add idea, shape and expression.

^...to come to 3D effect. Indeed, use object shading, and try to make the edges darker, because that's the Warcraft III style. Also, don't misplace icon position, I see that the whole icon got... moved towards upper left corner. Center it, shade it and try with high definitions of colors. Good luck!

I don't really know how to add the 3d effect,i'm new ,but i'll try to fix it...

3D effect is achieved... 3D is in Wight, Height and Depth, and one thing is enough to get it: proper shading. Try to Google some tutorials

or use the hive tutorials instead
i'd reccomend you this one, i hope you are using photoshop, it is easier for beginners.
Also, here is how to do the 3D feeling: ()
Hope to see better icons by you, and about this... it looks like smudge or filters... I'm not sure though
