New HUD is New
There's sooo much griping about the new HUD, and I feel like this is unfair to Riot.
"But it takes me so long to find the information I need!" No shit, it's moved. When you first started playing the game you had no clue where anything was because it was NEW not because it was BAD (okay, season 1, maybe).
"The cooldown timer covers my ability icon so I don't know which ability is which!" ...This is absolutely ridiculous. After playing a champion for a few minutes almost every player has those ability spots memorized. Who actually looks at their ability icons to remember which is which in the middle of a game? And do it often?
The font is small. Yeah, I agree with that one. But honestly I feel like we will adjust. People just don't like putting in work to learn something to be told that they have to learn something new in its place.
The Bilgewater event is being totally under appreciated because of the HUD gripes. Give it a week or so before you write it off as terrible?
