[Not another HUD rant] The sound when you use an ability that is not available

mirAcIe·Jul 22, 2015·8 votes·1,752 views

I'm all up for learning and getting used to this new HUD, but I have a problem. I play a champion with spammable abilities (Evelynn) and this new HUD has much lower cooldown on that sound that it makes when I try to use ability that isn't ready yet. It results in constant spam of that sound and it's driving me insane. I don't want to turn off that sound completely, I think it's useful, but at the same time it became really annoying.

Is there a way to make the cooldown of this sound longer or something?

Rito pls. This sound is too frequent and too loud. My brain cells are not infinite.

Don't break your Q key. Time your presses.

I don't think it's a matter of timing your presses, because sometimes there could be intense moments that you just can't think of timing your key presses and that sound just makes it unbearable.

Having focus in intense situations changes your gameplay drastically. I haven't heard the sound because I play on very low volume, so I guess I can't talk.

EDIT: tbh I think this sound needs its own volume slider too.

Holy shit so I'm not imagining things.

I have a really shitty mod so you can disable ALL HUD sounds if you want to do it until Riot fixes it.

It's really shitty though. It gets detected every 2nd login, so you have to keep re-copying your League folder.

Plus this would mute pings (which is another reason I did it - my ping volume bar/button broke, and won't mute them anymore), so if you play with loud pings you'll be disappointed.

The most hazardous thing is it mutes the turret aggro noise, so you have to REALLY pay attention when under a turret because Riot hates deaf people (the visual cues are not very clear at all).

^ It should be customizable without any 3rd party patches

Here's the really shitty mod I made:

Was this fixed in the new patch?

I wasn't able to compare the new noise to the old noise, because I modded it out of my client, so I forget how loud the old one was.

(And I'm so used to no HUD sounds that I might just keep playing with them muted indefinitely)
