Option to show Champion names above health-bars

ultrahiangle··6 votes·1,080 views

As a returning/new player this would be a huge help and I'm sure many others in my situation would also appreciate it. I was really surprised to learn that it wasn't an option to begin with, as it would seem natural to show Champion name when disabling summoner names, it feels awkward with no text above health-bars.

  1. there is no downside to having this option
  2. it would help players learn champions by having immediate name+visual recognition
  3. there are a lot of champions + many skins making it difficult to know what every champ is at a glance

I just came back from playing 2+ years ago and I don't know/remember what 1/5 of the champions are. Even on some of the champions I do know - some skins make it harder to easily identify which Champions I want to target in team fights.

I don't see a reason not to have this as an option, as you can simply not use it if you don't want to. I definitely think it would be good for newer players at the very least.

I want this aswell, I'm new, and I couldn't give less of a F about enemy summoner names. I wan't to see champion names, just like I can in Smite. Takes 2 sec to code...

Huh, having any text at all above the health bars is awkward to me. It's useless information and visual clutter.

ok, there can be a third option for no text.
