Me, too, just for full disclosure. But I used the icons for a while. I think it helped begin classifying villains when I started out.

Now, I have color-coded HUD stats that turn green when I can attack and red when I need to think twice. And of course I inspect more closely for any difficult situations.

But I did use the autorate rules I linked to at the beginning.
