Here we have a picture of 3 buffs: Ultimate, Jugg, and Rally cry. Can you tell the difference?

The only way to really tell is by the order in which you’re using them. With everything going on in the game, it’s hard to keep an eye on which buff is which without getting confused.

I’ve made a mock-up of what i think should be changed with certain Buff icons. (i'm sure other classes have the same problem)

With this, you could easily tell which buff is active/ending without blindly guessing.

I’m guessing the only problem with this would be newer players being confused of having 2 Cds. The Skill itself, and its Buff.

Let me know your thoughts.

Redefine all the icons, in the settings when a person turns off 'Show Players buff' that includes CD of Gear. It should not. Meaning that item CD should persist.

Thanks for the mockup.

Unfortunately, the main issue is most of the buffs/debuffs are individual reusable components built up over a decade so it would be a lot of work to change/update.

However, I'll make a note of this for the skill revamp and we'll see what can be done.
