They flipped the Pin kill icon in the kill feed

I was watching some symm buffs videos and noticed that when Reinhardt gets a kill with charge, the icon seemed weird. I think it got flipped.

On the PTR, it’s aimed to the right. On live, it’s to the left.
As I am a console player, I have a question. If the enemy rein got a kill with charge is the icon still to the right or to the left?

How did you do this? I can only link the album

I went into the album and linked each image. Takes more work, but is much easier for others.

I do a lot of source work for other on this forums

EDIT: Should clarify.
I’m on a Mac, when I double click an image, one of the options that appears is “copy image address”. I click that then just paste it into here.

Ahh, Thank you!!

Seeing as you’re a console player, the icon would appear as going towards the left.

It may change when the PTR patch is released for consoles.

Wow good eye,
So the original artwork for the charge icon was pointed to the left (you can see that on the abilities slide for the hero)

I think they switched it because it makes more sense for the direction of the pin to have gone towards the eliminated character. It’s a bit more intuitive to read

That’s what I thought too, it makes much more sense now

I would agree with this explanation. It’s just a QoL feature.

I’m loving this patch more and more

Can someone let me know if they also flipped it on the abilities page and HUD or did they just change it for the killfeed?
