How is my game idea, description, icon, and such?

Hi everybody, I am currently working on a game called Havoc and I want to get as much acquisition as possible. The game is a round - based game, where you are either a protector or destroyer, and the destroyers destroy the map (which goes without saying) and the protectors stop them. Each side uses their abilities that are given from the character they use, like the popular game Forsaken and i have distinct characters. I would like to know what you think of the idea, and whether or not the description - shown below - would pull in players. Also I’d like your opinion on the thumbnail and icon. Any constructive feedback is appreciated!
Thanks all!

Description:

The Ultimate game of:
Destroyers :bomb: vs Protectors :shield:

Pick your character for each team, then hop into a match, getting put in a random team.

Destroyers:
Fill up the Havoc bar, and destroy the map!!!

Protectors:
Stop the destroyers at all costs!

Both teams, use your abilities to aid your goal.
Good Luck!

Icon:

The thumbnail and icon took a while to make, and this is my first attempt, so ikk they’re quite bad lol.

if i were you i’d simplify the game icon into just a logo, and maybe stylize the logo itself

more in an image does not necessarily mean better

Honestly I’d recommend editing a real picture of the game, adding in one or two of the characters into the background, and then adding a logo.

Ok, sorry i took a picture of my irl drawings then edited them in photopea.

Ok, do you think the logo with a cartoony explosion in the background would look good?

Hi guys, i updated the icon a bit, do you think it looks better?

that looks much better, but I personally would try to make the text more defined

Ok i will remake it the same, but much sharper, what pixel res do you recommend?

I don’t think the arts themselves are bad, but something about it looks messy. How about using real character graphics instead of arts?

Do you think uploading a decal to studio of the explosion but more high res, then putting the in game chars in front might look better? I have done something like this before, and it worked quite well

Yeah, but decal explosion would be seen weird; use real explosion graphics.

How would i achieve this, as i usually just use Snipping Tool, how would you get these graphics?

Just use that Snipping Tool and put them in the image editor.

Yes, but how would i do the explosion, particle emitters??

Yeah, use video tools and capture the frame that has explosion particle.
