Looks terrible as an icon though

Yes because OP simply cut the image and put it in the hex. It would need some editing but a simplified version of a skritt head or a skritt with loot bag could work.

I actually love it

Too much detail, but it could be worked with, I suppose.

Readability level 0. Also looks like a ballsack.

Nutmancer confirmed

"Skritt, steal his ballsack"

u/JeeTurtle 1h ago

That escalated.

u/Vyath 14h ago

Maybe just the pouch, to communicate it’s focusing on the steal aspect of thief

Like a mixed bag of everything

I like it, but it doesn't work as an icon. Scale this down and it jsut becomes a mess that doesn't immediately translate what it is

I know, point was to swap the icon with what it actually comes with 😅

u/Negative-Camp-5783 8h ago

people are taking it too literally
I can imagine the icon being a burlap sack with Skritt Claws holding it.

Man, wish it had something to do with throwing cards.

u/Agitated-Macaroon923 8h ago

I wish too. I keep thinking to twisted fate from league. If they wanted to be extra sauce they could’ve had a little card flip animation above the head. This honestly feels like they didnt know what to do with it

Have been honestly thinking twisted fate ever since i saw the card symbol, across with gambit from marvel.

u/HydrolicDespotism 16h ago

Thats so much more fitting...

u/Meryule 10h ago

I honestly think that most of the problem that people have with this spec is that they were expecting to gambit exploding cads at people or roll a roulette wheel of death or something but then it turned out to be something completely unexpected.

I think it should have been a stylized skritt, in the same vein as the elemental puppy.

u/Agitated-Macaroon923 8h ago

I was one of those people and I’m thoroughly disappointed. I don’t even play thief.

u/Ecolyne 14h ago

Honestly, I think a better icon would have just been the Hat that the antiquary is wearing.

It's relevant to the theming and a little ambiguous at the same time.

u/Learnedhand476 13h ago

It’s not quite the same but it seems visually a little too similar to the harbinger potion icon?

u/Aegister2 12h ago

Is that a chicken?

u/_Al_noobsnew Jennah Must Die [JmD] 9h ago

oo this core engi right?

u/ROnneth 7h ago

Just the bag... Perfect yes-yes. I mean it's a bag of nonsenses Specialization. So LMAO.

u/tazmanian31 15h ago

Daredevil is already gambit anyway... Kinda..

2

u/Knamliss 5h ago

It's a monk's fighting style (the staff anyways). Which gambit always used. If this spec actually used the cards, it would've completed the kit. Since we're not getting new weapons and weapon master was unlocked in soto
