4k Resolution Support

Gunnâr··7 votes·3,341 views

When will League of Legends support proper scaling for when you play the game at a 4K resolution? This is getting ridiclous...

2 options - -I have to change my 4k monitor settings in windows down to 1440p to play league in order to keep my in game settings at borderless...

    -If i want to keep my monitor at 4K, it means i have to change to full screen mode/in game res down but then i cant see the game when i ALT/TAB to a different monitor 

SO ANNOYING!!!

Same here. I have my 4k monitor down at 1920x1080 because it looks like garbo in 4k.

Its complete shit, it was working for me a couple days ago, i had my screen at 4k, and LoL in window mode at 2k (because i have a 43 in tv and LoL at 43 in is way too big). But I dont know what happened now i have to run it at 1600x1200 or fuck with my monitor settings... Why can't they fix this? Just 2k compatibility would be okay with me. To specify it works perfectly fine when I am in full screen mode, the 4k graphics are solid, and not taxing at all on my gpu. I like to monitor various vitals through MSI Afterburner, and (as stated) I do not like using my full tv as a monitor. So I can either run full screen for 4k or dull it down in order to see MSI Afterburner data.

This is what happens when you become an early adapter of poorly-supported, completely overkill next-gen technology.

If this is windows 10, it is probably one of the many glitches involving window scaling on large screens, not league.

No it is 100% leagues fault, cause their UI is programmed in a very bad way (aka no resolution scaling). WHICH IS BAD DESIGN! Also 1440p (a very common resolution now a days) is way too small to play decently on! Stop whiteknighting riot when they are at fault!

UI is all rescalable.

If you have it at 100% and it is too small, you have bigger problems to worry about than screen size. Your UI is completely blocking your view at this point.

2 years later and Riot still hasn't properly implemented support for 4k.

What could be considered overkill 2 years ago is pretty much affordable quality for everyone nowadays yet Riot still hasn't improved their code over these 2 years to make their game playable for what was once considered "next-gen" technology.

Proper cursor scaling, video judder, mouse stutters.. get your shit together Riot.

2018 -Who is still buying 1080 monitors/TV's? When non-brand 55" TVs run for $500 here in NA. I'm sure after someone spends $2000+ on a decent 4k they're not gona wana screw with LoL that's been out 8 years and hasn't bothered to follow tech trends.

Simple. Riot needs to majorly step up their game and grow with the trends or be left in the dust.

Almost all people are buying 1080p for monitors, actually. Most people dont play PC games on a TV, especially competitive ones - far worse input lag and compatibility issues, plus scaling.

4K is about a 1500$ overhead between GPU and monitor, and gives more or less zero benefits, especially in a competitive game. The vast majority of custom systems are under the 1000$ mark, and OEM machine sales even lower spec. Most "gaming" computers struggle at 1080p 60hz in demanding games.
