health potion in the center.
mana potion off to the side.
this is stupid, just put everything back in the center like how it originally was. THERE WAS NO REASON to split them between two separate areas of the screen.
I originally posted this thread in General Discussion, but then I realized that a Rioter probably won't see it, so I'm placing it here.
And honestly, if they did this because of the jungle/clutter?
Move all SMITE buffs to the left, and EVERYTHING ELSE to the center (including blue/red buff, which are not smite buffs).
That's funny
Mana potion is on left, while health potion on right.
I think Riot believes LoL players have problems with squinted eyes.
At least give as a goddamn OPTION to do so >.>
Let's promote clarity!
Wait nah let's make everyone pay more attention to the bottom corner of their screen.
Seriously, if you won't just switch it back, at least give us the option to pick between our favorite setup. Playing Annie with the buff icons in the bottom left corner is more irritating than it should be.
If you ever want to look at a buff or debuff, you want to see them all at a glance so you don't have to hunt for the one you want.
This makes it actually harder to find it. Where does Volibear's charge buff go? Oh, too late, it ran out.
I made a post on this too!!! I upvoted this and am DYING for this to be reverted!!! Thank you for posting this as well!
customization would be nice
I think this should be an option you can customize in the menu.
A non weab thread from Colonel Weab.
Is this the doomsday?
There is some stuff that makes sense in the buff bar above the champion portrait. Unfortunately, 90% of the stuff that is currently there doesn't fit.
What makes sense on that left buff bar?
If the buff doesn't fit either of those two categories, it doesn't fit on the left buff bar, and needs to be centered for the sake of clarity.
Splitting them up like this is clear than just having a bunch of icons in the same place.
It's even more annoying than all buff left, active in the center can we just.. active left, and every buff in the center?
The fact that they did change this, as well as moving some effects to the side (making it hard to tell when ongoing damage is happening AND when it will end) just further proves the theory that Riot actually wants to reduce Visual Clarity.
I would love to hear the reasoning as to why they did this. Personally, I cannot see the reason why it got moved in the first place, I don't remember seeing a single thread or anything on it. So it seems like it was just some random thing Riot wanted to try because, like always, they know what we want better than we know what we want. I like the color scheme they added so you can easily see the difference for buff/debuff, but that doesn't matter if I have to look to a tiny corner on my screen to see it, smashed between my stats the chat log. Very distracting place over there.
the worst part about it is how they removed jinx switcheroo icons I dont see how that is for clarity
The retard that made the decision to switch around the buff/debuff icons needs to be fired from Riot immediately and the icons need to be moved back to their original positions.
As a Cass player is annoying to find the Noxious Blast buff on the left. It's almost like Riot forgot that Cass players use it as a poison indicator or to check if someone is hiding on a brush
This. Please.
Bumped and agreed. This was a stupid decision, that seemingly was done for some arbitrary reason that Riot has never disclosed.
At least change champion related things, i can't be bother to look to the left every time i wanna see how many stacks of riven passive i have in the middle of a fight >_> .
I've honestly gotten used to it now lol.
Some of you may notice that with activateable items it shows it in the middle with a cooldown timer on it. I think they should keep things like health pots and other consumables on the rigt but put buffs/debuffs/item affects in the middle with their remaining duration
yea i find it really that health pots are int he middle while manas are on the side.. they both restore equally important resources.
we really need the option to pick and chose which buffs go where, or just put them all back in mid obviously the majority of people want this.
IMO they need to make the UI customizable.
You want the minimap on the left/top/in the background? K.
You want buffs and debuffs in separate columns/rows? K.
And so on. Honestly I'd prefer being able to customize my UI to where I don't have to look all over the place to find 3 different but related things.
yeah its really strange and now if im debuffed i usually dont notice it unless its heal reduction because of the heart.
Please! I really dislike not seeing the bonus from spell weaving in the middle of my screen. Character buffs are also very important, especially for Riven.
Ideally, players would be able to go into an edit UI option and be able to drag things around and resize them.
Riot, please respond.
So many people hate this, and practically everyone wants it back to how it originally was.
I moved my minimap to the left side of my screen because I almost never look at the bottom right corner. How in the world am I suppose to notice buffs/debuffs unless they move back to center?
or at least make it an option
but muh "clarity"
I believe they did it for champs like Nunu who can have 20+ buffs up at a time easily, especially with all the new jungle smite bonuses, as it can make your screen extremely cluttered.
IMO they should maybe just scale down the icon size a bit.
They want to improve in-game clarity and it's fine but I still haven't seen anyone that likes this change, it just make everything harder to see, please revert it back.
I prefer my buffs/debuffs all to the left side, it just feels right to me rather than the middle. I do understand that some people can't focus when CSing and look at an odd place to look if their buff/debuff is running out not. I think to help everyone they can place buff on the middle like before and debuffs to the left rather than everything in the middle.
Completely agree. Last night for example I was playing Zilean, and by end game you can chain your speed ups constantly but it helps to do so when the buff is almost gone. I was having to completely shift my focus from the center of the screen where action is to the bottom left to see how long the buff was going to last.
bump
