If they are going to ruin the HUD, shouldn't they at least make the pieces movable?

For players that have been here for years even sense season one, i think that you may agree correct me if i am wrong, that the New HUD is extremely unfriendly. They moved everything and took away crucial information that we have trained ourselves to look at. now we have a whole new procedure of things to do when wanting to simply check our score. If they are going to make such extreme changes they should at least give us the option to move my inventory box back to the left corner of the screen and put my score in the top right. It is simply annoying that i can put the mini map there but not my inventory box. From my standpoint this is poor game design concepts. Onto another note, the new art design for the experience bar, upgraded moves, and the animation for the upgrade are not friendly to the eye, they are hard to decipher at a seconds glance, and the level up animation is hardly noticeable. The old HUD was much more clear and easy to understand. My personal opinion is that they at least need to give us the option to move the sections of the HUD such as the inventory box and champion picture to their previous locations on the HUD. This would not give any player an advantage while giving the ones used to the old HUD the option to keep their old routine.

They said it would be "Highly customizable". By that they meant you could play with the scale, and that's about it.

Yea It didn't exactly match their claims. you can Change the scale of the map and the main art bar but u cannot move the pieces other than the mini map. which the mini map is the ONLY thing on the HUD that i don't want to move . I forgot to mention they moved the allied champions to above the mini map and they are tiny which puts champions like Shen at an extreme disadvantage. i Do not think it would be so hard to give us the option to move the allied champions faces and inventory box.

I would enjoy being able to move it around. It looks as if it was made to do it, however they didn't let us.

Also they did give extra info that is nice to see at a glance instead of having to click the champion portrait and blocking out your screen. However they forgot to add in crit chance and crit damage values.

i do like the changes with the stat display, the placement of the art is my concern. hopefully they plan to update later in patch to add more customization.
