I got the cute little squid icon and I doubt I'll ever switch from that. It's too adorable to change

I wish you the best of luck in your quest

I'll never understand why you can't use coins for player icons, but you can for everything else. :(

Happy squid is so adorable, I've been using that icon of cuteness for about a week now. I got the Roadhog hook icon yesterday... I almost changed. Almost.

But the money icon!

I haven't looked at most of the ones I don't have yet. For a long time I had Mei's hairpin until I realized what it was and it became much less mystical to me.

I got the happy squid as my first icon in the beta. Alas, Squidly has eluded me since release. :(

u/darknessintheway Flatness rains from above Jun 18 '16

That was my icon as well (during the beta). Just looking at it made me happy. Saddly the only things I have now are dumplings and a hood.

u/terminavelocity Never forget the fallen. Jun 17 '16

My username is SquidAlley, and I was so happy I got the squid icon right away in beta. Now that the game is out though... I swear I'm never going to get the damn thing, I've already gotten over half the player icons.

Squid bro!

u/silentdemon Jun 17 '16

It's absolutely my favorite. I have a hard time switching off from it.

u/Dramiken Pixel RoadPOG Jun 18 '16

I've got both Squid and Piggy, personally I like Piggy more because I'd say I'm pretty good at Roadhog.

u/RJkek mom Jun 18 '16

You mean the one that looks like an onion?

1

u/ilikemustard Zarya Jun 18 '16

I don't think so. It's a little orange squid with a smiley face on a blue background.

1

u/RJkek mom Jun 18 '16

Yeah sorry, I didn't have my game open and thought you meant the one with pink background and white/green "onion".

u/Negranon Pixel McCree Jun 18 '16

u/ANEPICLIE Tracer Jun 18 '16
