I have a problem with this game

Viktor. No, he isn't OP. He just has a problem I've found with the new HUD. I think somebody has noted another problem with a different character, but I can't remember. So you know how Viktor has his own items only he can build? ? Every time he buys one of these items, he gets the ability to "augment" one of his basic abilities. Previously, his augmentations were shown above where the normal level-up upgrades were, extremely different from a normal upgrade. With the new HUD, they are shown the same as a normal level up upgrade, with a little thing that says "Augment" around it. Can we please get this fixed/changed for clarity? It's kinda annoying.

No problem. I noticed it when doing a Viktor vs Veigar 1v1 with a friend and found out about Kha when i saw a thread about both of them having that clarity issue due to the new HUD.

I actually remember that thread.

Seconded. I spam him alot, so it doesn't affect me - but people are going to screwed over by the lack of visual representation of what the heck they're upgrading.

It so very much needs to be fixed. ;p

I don't know why this wasn't fixed prerelease, and why it isn't even fixed on the PBE.

Addendum. It DOES effect me.

I bought an augment after I died in lane to the enemy jungler, then continued browsing the store. At some point, my allied jungler got me an assist by taking out the Shyvana who totalled me.

I dropped out of the store.

"Oooh! I must've levelled up!"

E augment is upgraded

THAT WAS NOT THE UPGRADE I WANTED.

Hotfix, pls Riot. ;p

I don't require a hotfix, but at least recognition or a PBE change would be nice.

It sounds like one of those things that they forgot about and need to get on. Upvote for vision or whatever.

The weird thing is, somebody at Riot, somewhere, must have looked at it, but why the hell did they not try to make it logical?

I don't really have a problem with it. You get the choice immediately after you buy the upgrade. I can think of almost no time I would have a left over level-up point to spend before going back to base.

For a while I didn't even notice that Viktor had different icons for augmenting his abilities. And I've mained Viktor since S3 before his rework.

It's more of a QoL thing. It's confusing for new people to the champ, and is easy enough to fix.

ElJanitorFrankJul 26, 20151 votes

I can understand that, but I'd like to point out it does say on screen "choose an augment" (last time I checked) as opposed to whatever it normally says.

I still preferred the old version of the augmentation.
