Pros and Cons of new HUD

To start off with, I'm going to list what I actually like about the new HUD before stating my grievances that come alongside it.

Pros: -Death timers of enemy champions are displayed above the map. -Added CDR into the stat area. That's it.

Cons: -My eyes instinctively move towards skills """fancy""" animation because it is flashy therefore I should pay attention to it instead of the game. -I continually look at the bottom left for items/stats (btw they aren't there anymore so can't fast buy). Personal problem really due to playing the game for so long and it being habitual. -I cannot see my teammates health bar and ult timers clearly considering they're made for ants. Immediate peripheral vision view on the left was necessary in game for engaging before and during fights. -ITS SO SMALL I CANT SEE ANYTHING. IM ALREADY BLIND PLS DONT MAKE IT HARDER ON ME!!!! -There is too much going on in mini map area.

**Universal death timers can be a pro or con depending on how you view the game. I've played this game for a long time and always thought it was a necessary skill required to actually pay attention to the time and to time dragons/barons instead of alt tabbing out or dicking around. It does influence the game but can be good or bad - not too sure why the 5 dragon icon was removed though, it was cool.

tl;dr U dun goofed there rito. Fix HUD so it doesn't disturb the natural order of gameplay with

What does everyone else like and dislike about the new HUD?

Well it is a bit more advance in terms of placements & looks, which I like. The only problem I face were:

  • Not knowing where the AD/Armor/Lifesteal/Summoner Spells/KDA etc numbers were placed at(which I can get used to it in the future)
  • Allies' ult/HP/Mana icons were still too small, hoping Riot would extend its size adjustment in the Interface menu.

Pressing 'C' brings your basic stats up to stay. I wish they'd mention that.

i like the new hud, doesnt bother me, i just feel like riot got lazy and was like lets mash up everything into the new hud and leave the map where its at, notice how they mashed your champion section into the hud instead of a left, center and right pieces, now its just center and right pieces. for me this is good because now i can see the left side of my map :-)
