HUD Feedback
I see a lot of feedback taking place on the forums, and I actually came to post my feedback on it. Currently, I actually have to come forth and state that I do not like the HUD. Here's my opinion on what should be fixed or tweaked to make it more likeable and user-friendly.
-
Game crashes. My game is always crashing as of this update, and it's only crashing on maps which have the new HUD. That being said, it's thankfully not crashing in ranked. Please fix this before pushing anything to live in ranked modes.
-
The arrows and plus signs of leveling up spells is very confusing now. It used to be small and distinct, instead it now takes up more space on my screen and lets me see less of the map. This is really annoying, and in addition to this, my spell cooldowns with the numeric timer AS WELL AS the hourglass countdown just makes it too much. Make it optional to turn off these animations please. I'd really just prefer it to be small, numeric and plain.
-
If possible, allow us to customize it. No, I don't mean add special characteristics that aren't already there. I'm only asking for what's already there to be 'moved around.' If I wanted my chat in the center of the game, (who would want this?) I feel it should be possible to move it up down, let right, etc. Same with the ally champion icons, minimap, etc. Let it arrangeable.

In coalition to #3, the chat was placed much too high without being moveable to my knowledge.
-
Purchasing items in the shop color transparency (may be a bug - but my screen is completely red with transparency in the background. Extremely annoying to read text of a red color hue.) Should be obvious but remove it or allow us to remove it and allow us to also change the color of transparency.
-
When pulling up the stats page. (Hotkeyed C) It used to pull up in the center of the screen. Instead, I now have a tiny box of information pull up next to my champion icon which is not only hard to read, but in a quick glace it's hard to find what I'm actually looking for. I find myself spending more time staring at it trying to decipher than I did before. tldr; Instead of pressing C and reading "Magic Penetration: 12.25" I now have to search for it for longer because it's much tinier. This takes away from gameplay because it takes away from the convenience.
-
When displaying your Ping/FPS, it's in grey which makes it kind of an eye-sore to glace at. Not sure if it's going to change color based on issues of high or low FPS because I haven't had this problem to experiment yet, but if it doesn't change color to indicate it, it defeats the purpose of having it display in the first place.
What I like about the new HUD
- Ally teammates ult timers. A small feature that's been well overdue.
- Rearranging champions in the Tab section.
Just my rough opinion on it. Anyone else?
