Riot needs a better reason to not allow us to arrange the HUD freely

The only reason for Riot not allowing us to arrange the HUD freely how to prefer is that they don't want players focusing more on the arrangement of the HUD than they focus on the game itself which is just a silly response. Yes players would try to find an arrangement that is optimal for them but why is that a bad thing? Isn't it better that players take the time to arrange the HUD the way they want it so they enjoy playing the game with that arrangement rather than forcing an arrangement upon the players that many may not like playing with.

Think about it Riot, this is your chance to prove that you listen to the players and want the community to have the best experience possible with such a simple change.

Not a lot of people really care about that, though . . .

A lot of people dislike the way the HUD is now, and allowing people to move the components around may ease the change for them.

and then I check the hot page and see 3 threads complaining about it near the top. alright, a lot of people care about it. I haven't gotten to play with it yet, but it seems nice.

It just makes you look all around really inefficiently to check things like CS per min and there are some big flashy things on it that don't serve much purpose.

Exactly. Let's play how we want, and what makes each and everyone of us most comfortable. The more customizable a HUD gets the better it is as a success. To evolve a hud isn't to make a new one, to evolve the design of HUDs in games is to make it as free as possible the majority of players can be happy. You can't blame Riot on the template than if you give the player everything they need to make it their own.

I don't understand why every game ever made doesn't give us modular HUDs. I can only surmise it's an insane amount of work that only benefits a small percentage of the player base.
