So I noticed something today. IRL I'm a type-designer, so I know a thing or two about typography.

Kerning. The kerning on the champion names in the loading screen is awful. See the screenshot.

You'll notice that the space between the two e glyphs (letters) of 'Teemo' is almost twice that of any of the other letters in the name. This is bad kerning. Usually when the kerning is bad, it's due to the font.

In contrast, take a look at my name on the loading screen. You'll see that the kerning is appropriate, and that all of the glyphs (letters) are evenly spaced.

It's a small fix. But if you can't get it to kern properly, I'd advice changing the font. Besides, you really should be using a proper webkit font on the loading screen and not the horrible one you're using now.

Kthx.
