I would opt for something a bit more subtle than icons, like
- Edge blur on screen for speed boost (e.g. the screen effects you get in L4D2 when taking Adrenaline),
- Red glow on weapons when damage boosted,
- Blue tint on screen when defense boosted.
- full Acid trip, stuff that is stronger than bers's parry to fully indicate that you are a true killing machine until the drug wears off and you end up shivering on the ground in your puke.
Tbh i do like the red glow thing on the gun... But it would be difficult to represent with the neon skins... Or just in general.
- Unless you add a radiating effect with a stronger stage to indicate the boost level.
(think of tf2 unusual gun effects)
Not hot on an tint, I don't want to experience battlefield 3 again.
What if a blue vignette with a shield graphic all over it, something like in crysis when you use your suit's shield ability.
Speed idk chief, its the least needed boost that needs to be indicated. You already feel its effect.
Adding sharpness and the blur imo will make it distracting and hella annoying for the sole reason that it will be frequent...
(it works for l4d because its occasional, not a frequent shot of adrenalin every 5 seconds.)
+ will be pain in the ass for streamers or anyone recording the game.
