What happened to multi-colored talent icons? (Artanis & Morales)

Hey guys, I just noticed...

The addition of multi-colored talent icons was a great quality of life change that we were able to experience thanks to Morales' awesome design, making guides and hotslogs stats easier to read, and talent choices faster to make during games.

Sadly, Artanis doesn't have this benefit, even when 4 of his talent choices (lvl 1, 4, 7 and 16) have the problem of multiple talents improving the same skill.

I have already sent Dustin Browder two tweets about this, but haven't got any response yet.

Comparison:

Morales' talent choices look like this.

I think every hero deserves the Morales' treatment regarding talent icons, what about you guys?

EDIT: Thanks everyone, for making this reach the frontpage! Visibility is key to getting things like this changed!

    It was really well done with Medic talents.

    I think it was a test case, and from what I can tell, it was very well received. Reddit liked it, and I think there was a blue post saying they'd do more of that in the future.

    But, it's really important to have the game in a stable state for BlizzCon. They don't want to risk screwing shit up for their big splashy event. That means no big content changes between Medic release and BlizzCon.

    I fully expect other heroes to start getting the talent coloring treatment in the first content/balance patch after BlizzCon.

    Just like with the medic our intention is to differentiate the icons in the talent selection menu. What you're seeing is a bug. Will fix in a future patch!
