So... Has anyone else thought transparent health bars would be great?

I've noticed that many times champ HP bars get in the way of seeing creep health, and sometimes might end up making you miss. You can turn off summoner names at the most, but there will always be that fat hp bar in the way. I think adding transparent HP bars would be GREAT. Very great.

Or perhaps the ability to shrink the health bars down a bit?

I think it'd be a nice option, cause IMO I don't wanna play with them, but eh, that's preference.

You already can turn health bars in general off, so the ability to turn off just champion health bars (or even just your own) doesn't seem like it'd be particularly complex.

Though if you want immediate results, you can always mod your hp bar yourself. There are plenty of graphical mods out there, and simply adding transparency to existing assets would be pretty simple.

Bump. I thought about this problem 100 times. It's worse for plahers on blue side.

No thanks. Don't forget it can also just as easily be used to deny your opponent CS, especially on your cannon minion. An oversight many make, but an oversight nonetheless particularly on small character models.

I'd also like transparent towers and baron so i can actually hit the champion if I'm diving them or trying to contest baron

It would also be nice if they could move baron's HP bar to remain onscreen whenever he is. His model is so big, it's easy for it to get offscreen and I know I prefer to be temporarily screen locked during the chaotic teamfights that usually happen there.

Wow.....why haven't I thought of this before.

God I feel stupid now lol.

Although, I do like using an old trick that abuses the way health bars work right now, especially on Nasus players, where I use my own health bar to hide the health bars of the minions near me, so he has to guess where to use his Q (this doesn't work for very long, but every little bit helps).

It should TOTALLY be a setting! You're a genius!

Soraka No.

Honestly, as long as it's toggleable. Health bars are my life. Pun intended.

IMO it'd be pretty hard to see since most of the terrain is greenish and the HP bar is green.

SPICYXL3/23/2015, 10:58:59 PM1 votes

They should add a "target minions only" button so that people likeHecarim can't be exploited for denying cs.

I Main Swain3/24/2015, 12:34:01 AM1 votes

and can we get shields displayed on the bar as well? I want to know how much of that shen ult I have left to spare, or how much my enemy does.

yes plz yes plz so much. I'd turn them off if they had above 90% hp if I could.
