Votes are in, New HUD sucks

No seriously. New hud is terrible. Old hud for champion information had this nice screen that explained everything in clear, precise detail when you wanted to know something, hit c look quickly and close it out. Now you have this itty bitty side piece with little numbers that you have to click over to figure out what each one means.

You took the really nice character pictures on the left hand side that were clear, gave you good information, and stuck them over the mini map, made them tinier, and made the ult icon over their heads harder to read. This now means when I want to click the picture in a team fight to give my shield to my teammate, I have to click on a tiny picture instead of a clear icon on the left hand side of my screen.

Old huds Tab was a little bigger, gave information much better. When people were dead, you could still see their picture, and their name. Now the numbers completely cover peoples faces, names aren't displayed unless you hover over their picture.

CS used to be in the upper right hand corner along with your score, in a nice box that kept it separated from everything and gave you the information you needed and hitting tab let you see your enemies cs in less than a second. This one isn't as bad, its just in a different place, once I got used to this I think I like it more. Keeps my vision to the lower right hand side.

Moving items from the left to the right makes the right side of my screen feel cluttered, and covers up too much of the right side of my screen imo.

Nearly every pro player that I've seen stream has said "I don't like this new HUD". Every player I've played with has told me "This new hud sucks."

So, Tl:Dr; I think its back to the drawing board on this one Riot. What do you think?

New HUD doesn't suck, players just hate change. If anything once veterans get used to the new organization of the new HUD people will see how it's useful.

Says votes are in.

Makes poll in thread claiming there was already a poll to support his title.

Thinks the boards is a place people on equal terms come here to praise the HUD as much as shun it. Poll will be inflated by people who dislike the HUD while those who are fine with it will move to more important matters.

As of this post it is 6/4/1. Considering my 3rd line, I'd say you're wrong. Most don't care.

I dunno, there is a lot of stuff I don't like about it. I wish they would let us choose between new and old hud.
