Latency bar
Hi All, When we playing on the new HUD one thing that stuck out to us is how we represent latency (ping). We tried shifting to the bar icon but after playing on that for a while we don't feel its accurate enough and felt arbitrary. Colored ping bars can be pretty arbitrary to the average player, as there is no accepted 'standard' of what someone should do when they see yellow - or red - bars instead of green. In lieu of this we maked a simple change so there's more clarity around what a player's connection speed is to the game server and can derive meaningful information from that. This is a long line to say we want to show you real information, not colors. To that end we've removed the colored bars and have the actual latency number displaying right below where the bars were by default. If you don't like these numbers there or find them distracting, you can use the CTRL+F function to turn them off. Let us know how this feels. Thanks, -Chager
Yeah riot we are basically stupid! We dont know what green, yellow and red means and what rising and shrinking things are. We do not even have these things on the CELL PHONES or never even saw these things ever! Yeah its much better when you removed this useless thing that is way too confusing for the average day user -Kappa
OK seriously KEEP IT! Personally i like it cause it is short information about your current connect and i think it should stay so DO NOT REMOVE IT or put option about it but let it stay! How the hell are you suppose to know that your ping is more than normal? Having graphics are actually easier and faster to understand than having numbers or you like us to go back to DOS days?
