Im looking for my items, on the bottom left but its not there sadly. Only delaying the time it takes for me to switch my key bindings for wards, pots, etc. The fucking info is small as fuuuuck it literally hurts my eyes to look for certain stats. I like that i dont have to press c to see my stats and that i can see others stats. Thats about it. This new look is a total and utter fucking fail.

CAN I PLEASE SWITCH BACK TO THE OLD ONE WTF WHY ARE YOU FORCING ME TO HATE YOUR GAME?????????

On a side note, PLease, PLease, PLease for the love of fucking allah,god, buddha, christ, CAN I SWITCH TO OLD FEMALE ANNOUNCER. THIS GP'S QUOTES ARE THE FUCKING STUPIDEST SHIT IVE EVER HEARD, I LITERALLY HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. (Dont get me wrong i love gp's voice, but the shit he says is just off the wall retarded..."Raiding the rift"...) WHAT! Omfg Riot please

Edit: Ok so ive had time to subside my rage. Its.... ok.

That is my biggest issue before anything. Why change something that was fine instead of just improving on the last model. This is half baked and they have admitted it. That is the issue.

The tab menu is better the minimap isnt as clear around the edges of the unwalkable terrain and the clutter of information at the bottom right is too miniscule to be used effectively, and even feels like it is in the wrong location for what it is trying to convey. All the info on the botton right (except the cd timers on ult which i admit is great to know) is better off in the top where it use to be as a center focal point of the game itself. This includes cs, kda, team kda, game timer and baron/dragon timers. The items slot needs to be on the left as a side bar if you want to make it look cool.

AND I HATE HATE HATE THAT B ICON. WTF IS THAT THERE FOR. WHY DO I HAVE TO TAB TO SEE MY TP TIMER AS A TOP LANER? Very inefficient use of space is basically my second gripe about this new hud

redit: Oh almost forgot. Hieroglyphics for the c button stats. What are these symbols and why must i roll over to see that.

Also it would be nice to have the stats that are getting boosted highlighted in case youre not sure what rune page you picked. For example old hud would leave unaffected stats after runes and items white while the one that were yellow.

Just seeing if they'll at least fix this hud when I know they've already demonstrated they dont care to revert it (even though the last one was fine although artistically outdated.)

Honestly, the new HUD is pretty good. The only problem is that a lot of people are not used to it and that is causing complaints. I'm sure the complaints will die down once people have adjusted to the new style.

Also, Gangplank announcing things is only temporary for the Bilgewater Event. It's pretty insignificant.

This is like the 50th thread I have seen about how the new HUD is "Horrible". It just got released and our minds are trained to the old hub so we will look often in the old spots. People just need to get over it and learn to adapt. If I'm not mistaken these exact same kinds of comments were used for the Rift update and now we are used to that

I like the HUD. I am not used to it, but I liked it, but I believe it could have been done better.

Like make the area around the map less blue and make it less blendy. ANd I kinda wished I could get items on the left side, but oh well.

This game is now RUINED with a single update.

I am in complete disbelief.

UI Substitution

**1. No movement in the HUD. ** The lack of moveable elements in the new HUD makes it seem like a substitution than an update. We're not improving a ui, were swapping it with a different one. There is simply no reason why we shouldn't have a movable ui other than pure laziness on the development end. Customization of the HUD should be up to the player, as they will find what is comfortable, the same way you find what hand placement and f/d summoner spell placement. I shouldn't be limited by what riot thinks is acceptable. Unlike what some people claim, it is not an unfair advantage to be able to move the HUD and have it in a different location, otherwise you couldn't swap what side the minimap was on.

2. It takes up less space

So? Why is that necessarily a good thing? I can tell you that after playing it on pbe for the past 2 weeks, not once has that extra screen space let me dodge a skill shot. Having more space to look won't increase reaction time.

3. Decreased use of peripherals

This is the most concerning part of mushing everything together. No longer can I use the corner of my eye to see when an ally just got chunked in top lane, or them gaining a level. I didn't have to look there to see what was going on. Now, when in 1 place, I have to spend more time looking for the information I want, rather than a quick glance at most.

But oh don't worry, you'll get used to it.

Actually, no I won't. That's what they said about splitting up the buffs/debuffs into 2 locations, so I now have to check 2 locations for the same information. I still forget the affects are over on the left side.

_ But op that takes no time at all._

Just remember, the east coast complains about 40-50 difference in ping.

We have not been given an 'objectively better' UI. We have done nothing more but switch from Coke to Pepsi, and are told to just 'get used to it,' like we were told with cass and viegar reworks. Sounds more like Stockholm Syndrome than an improvement. So I will not be thrilled with this substitution. Does it implement new features? Yes. But it steps on toes to do so. Moving my UI shouldn't prevent these feature from existing, nor should showing allies ult timers.

Your body is kicking it's own ass with its muscle memory. Give yourself at least a day for your body to fix its twitch reactions.

Youll get used to it.

If the info is too small there is a scale that makes the HUD larger in one of the tabs in the option menu.
