While i do like the visual updates of the HUD as they fit with the theme and art style for the game that Riot is pushing for I feel that it was rushed out the door with not enough thought put into some of the larger elements. I have a hard time reading smaller print so currently I cannot effectively tell what my enemies stats are nor my teammates stats in order to help build myself better into the game at a glance. The new scoreboard is also confusing to look at especially when someone has died. I want to be able to see what champion they are playing and not have a small grey box with a number over it blocking my field of view. Another huge problem is that the focus frame puts the statistics directly in the top left corner vs closer to the center so on a larger monitor I have to shift my vision and actually try to read the contrasted text, the removal of green for boosted stats makes this an even bigger headache.

One of the biggest complaints that I personally have is that you have now scrunched the allies unit frames into small pictures above the minimap now i understand that it's meant to give you more vision on the left hand side of the playing field but instead it makes it so that I can no longer use them to apply ally heals/buffs/saving ultimates. They are now too far out of the way and on top of that they are far too small.

Now I know there are thousands of other posts on the forums about how much the new HUD sucks or that we need to just "get used to it". To an extent I agree it takes getting used to, but for me it's more about how I am hindered in game play because I cannot access information or a tool that is supposed to be easily accessible is now more detrimental to use.

What I am asking is that the HUD gets scaled to a better size, adding a better "at a glance" view of statistics, timers (that is a HUGE one that is currently missing) and allowing movement of ally frames, or putting them in their original spot again. And please on the thousands of posts that have been made I have not seen a single Riot team member commenting on what their plan is in order to help fix and change the problems, it would help not just me but the community as a whole if you were to open up and let us know transparently what the plan is about this issue.
