I like how hero glows are now built in to heroes, so that any model can be a hero. What I'd like to see is a similar versatility to icons. Specifically, it would be nice to have a setting (particularly in the ability editor) to make any given ability active, autocast, or passive.

Truth be told, I'm surprised Blizzard didn't just do it this way while remastering it—it seems unnecessary to have icons called "HealOn," "HealOff," and the buff icon "Heal," when there could just be a built in frame on the UI itself that would change the icon to have the autocast bars, a black surrounding area to show that it's passive, and so forth.
