I CAN'T EVEN PLAY WITH THE NEW HUD

HKE Eclipse·Jul 25, 2015·4 votes·737 views

Sorry for Caps. This is the first time I create a discussion here in my 3 years League games. I just want to share some of my thoughts. But the New Hud really drove me crazy when i first logged in and saw that thing. The new Hud made me having no idea what am i doing when i play the game. It is not just the problem of NOT YET FAMILIAR said by someone, instead this is really making me don't want to play.

The same goes with the new announcer it is just terrible, and I have to play every single game without any audio. Therefore, I am wondering about what on earth is Riot thinking with those changes when it seems like no one liking them. Right now, there are also just no motivation for me to play the game, which is really unusual considering that it has never happened before throughout the five years I have played this game.

I AM LOSING THE MOTIVATION TO SOMETHING THAT PROBABLY BE THE BEST GAME I EVER PLAYED, just because of a unnecessary update on HUD.

Please rito, let say I beg you, please give me back my original league game, I beg you.

Thanks all. Best Regards,

The awful music and annoying announcer are only for the Bilgewater event - although I do fucking hate it. I'm on a DJ Sona streak just to get rid of the pirate music. And when I don't play DJ Sona, I turn off the in game music and go to Youtube to play the actual Summoner Rift music (BAM GET REKT RITO).

The HUD is a fucking abomination, don't get me started.

I dunno, you people are just allergic to change imho after experincing the HUD for myself. Makes supporting so much more fun now that poitrats are now above the minimap, so I can simultaneously watch an ally engage and see how their health fares so I know if I should keep an eye on them or not with camera hotkeys.

As far as music goes I have it off 100% of the time anyway since I'm playing my own stuff in Foobar. The announcer doesn't bother me though since I'm not allergic to change or anything out of the ordinary that doesn't actually affect gameplay in any way. Like the announcer.

The announcer is annoying as fuck. Half of the things he says, you don't even know what just happened and whether it's good or bad.

I always used the portrait for supportive abilities in team fights (or with heal/shield that can target creeps, like Karma, Lulu, Soraka) and I actually liked then better on the left side where they could be bigger without blocking the action. With the champ icons ontop of the map I had to reduce the map's size because it blocked the view too much.

I'm not allergic to change; I'm allergic to unnecessary change that makes things worse than they originally were.

Either we should be allowed to customize it by moving stuff around (like if you want your icons there, fine, keep them, but I can put them vertically on the left side if I want), or we should be able to switch between the old HUD and the new one. It's legic making me not wanna play.

I dunno, the announcer isn't that difficult to discern between. Agreed on the customization idea! Yes please! I personally prefer to keep important data in one spot plus the hotspots for my buffs/heals are much easier for me to handle there for me, especially in teamfight situations.

I guess the change wasn't necessary, but I disagree that it's made things worse when I play norms. If anything it makes things easier for the way I play.

If anything, they should make it more customizable for people with different playstyles. There are bugs with Viktor/Kha that should be mended, but that's about all I could complain about, and I don't even play anything other than Support if I can help it, especially so in non ranked games, so that doesn't affect me personally much.

Ultimately, becoming like World of Warcraft with Bartender and X-Perl or some equivalent addon allowing you to move literally everything literally anywhere as the user wishes. This HUD is definitely dynamic enough for it, you can move the scoreboard around already, why not the rest of it, right?

tl;dr

Please customization so I can have my stuff where I want it and others can have their stuff where I want it.

"took the coward's way out" "your ally found friends" "no one gets that bounty" "chum (????) the seas" "yes! let them know who you are!" "everything's got an end" "you have been maroon'd (?????????)" "to the depths with them" "haha... they call that a kill?" "we're dead in the water" "pile of corpses!" "a present for the slaughter docks" "a fine meal for the sharks"

these quotes I legit don't know if it's supposed to be good or bad. And it's only in the fisrt four minutes of his quotes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzgCBt6AhvI .

Not to mention, he's extremely vocal and his lines sound very forced. It gets annoying. Why couldn't they do that only on ARAM where they actually changed the map?
