Here we see that red side team has baron indicator next to its name. http://imgur.com/JsaAH0c

However, when blue side has baron, indicator is also at the same spot, as shown here. http://imgur.com/jfyGY7o

I know that the empty space next to the blue side (which I marked with the question mark) is reserved for dragon indicator, however dragon indicator should always be on the right side (if no team has a baron buff) since that objective is (geographically) on the right hand side of the map. Baron however is on the left side, so that indicator should be put there instead. When the baron buff is active, that wearing team should have it next to its name and have dragon indicator moved to the other side.

Thoughts?

I actually think they should get rid of the bottom Left Box since it's extraneous and unneeded information. Sure it can be important to see if a specific champion is leveling their skills differently, but that would be information that the casters would portray to us (i.e. Forgiven's Caitlyn not leveling traps). Instead change up the whole bottom bar to be level (shrink minimap a little, increase size of player cams, and maybe adjust the spectator item/gold bar. THEN, use that space on the bottom Left for useful information like Dragon/Baron timer and/or the Baron Powerplay information.

Ultimately, I think there needs to be a way to take information of the screen since it's VERY cluttered! But at the same time, we want easily accessible information for people that know the game (like build paths and gold).
