[CLIENT] Chat and HUD scale are linked, creating an unplayable situation

I had to re-install League because I couldn't connect to any games, but that's not the issue here - after I re-installed, of course my HUD scale and other settings were set to default. Well, you guys linked HUD scale and Chat scale (the HUD scale "controls" the chat scale), meaning I have two choices now. I can either have a GIANT HUD, but I'm able to read chat, or I can set the HUD where I like it, but be unable to read chat even when the Chat scale is set at 100.

I'm assuming this is a bug, and I'm disappointed that it made it to the live client. It makes the game incredibly difficult and uncomfortable to play.
