As stupid as it may look, it is a pretty annoying change that will affect EVERYONE in the wrong way. I never look on my left side of the screen do you seriously think I'll take a look on my bottom left of the screen just to see if I popped my potion or just check my buffs or debuffs?
Please, At least give me the option to put back the way it was. That'd be great!
Jikosei78 votesAgreed. 'Clarity' is a big issue here, and moving the buff bar to the bottom left shrouds that clarity immensely.
Bouffon dAnglais26 votesRito buff Clarity
DanyoTranyo56 votesI am in support of this post 100%
Please make this change as soon as possible
Arc Noir33 votesI like the actives popping up near the center bar but did it really have to constitute moving the buffs to the left? It was kind of annoying not seeing my passives unless I look as far away from the action as possible.
WindScorpion23 votesI think buffs on the left side of the center bar and actives on the right side makes a lot of sense.
Leafie33 votes+1 for the option to put it where we want it (Left/Middle of the screen)
Direwolfiez26 votesI didn't even see it for 30 seconds after my first patch 4.20 game. Seriously, it's incredibly annoying. Please change it back.

THIS
PLEASE RIOT
the only reason i came to the boards was to make a post about this but he beat me to it. Please do it. The new spot is too out of the way and its near impossible to see the things if your HUD size is turned down even the slightest bit.
Livyst10 votesThe only players that say this isn't a issue are the players who suck and don't look at anything.
Giotto9 votesAt least an option would be nice. My HUB is small and the icons are even more tiny. Making it a nightmare to keep an eye on duration of buffs over on the left side.
MakersF9 votesIt could have sense for example long lasting buffs, or permanent buffs, but when I buy 
i want to see the loading stack in the middle, because it might be a matter of milliseconds if I take the siedge minion or I leave it.
And there is no way I have permanent debuffs on me, they are always 1-3 second long, so I need to see them while just looking at the screen, and do not focus away from where the action is (like looking extremely bottom left)
Please let us have our old buffs in place, it is so bad for readability. I need to look aways from things just to see what's happening to me. So unclear

jeffeypop8 votesseriously. just got SO frustrated in a game over this. in the middle of the action i look to see how long i have left on a buff; should i engage or disengage? nothing there, better disengage -- OH WAIT! i have to look COMPLETELY away from the relevant information in the action part of the screen to see if i have this buff still. OK, well i do, but now it's too late to take advantage of because i don't even know what's going on in the fight anymore because i just looked COMPLETELY AWAY FROM IT!
AbodyHUN6667 votesI can agree with Riot taking unnecesseary passives away from sight, but we need an easy way to track annie passive, targon's voli and many others. I like active items being over the skills though.
Jakethenight6 votesI absolutely hate this change, I wish they kept buffs/debuffs in the center.
ModWulf Helhammer5 votesI never look on my left side of the screen
And that is the reason why they moved the active items to the center of the screen. And since the passives aren't as important (and it would be too cluttered for everything in the middle), they moved those to the left side
Willow Ninja19 votesI disagree, i think they are important and would like them to be in the middle...
or even better, customizable HUD placement pls
FrozenIndustry5 votesIt's especially bad for the people that shrink down their character HUD for more screen space. When it was in the middle, it was so much easier to immediately see.
jhlee01335 votesWe should get an option to change it.
Ztoka5 votesThe new placement of this sucks. I NEVER look on the left side of my screen. Like others have said, at least let us have the option to move the status etc.
Suups5 votesA senseless change that was made with aesthetic, not effectiveness, in mind. Really hope they revert this.
EMOFRATPARTY4 votesAs long as it's an option and not a requirement, I'm all for custom UI placement.
7dragongames4 votesI strongly second this movement, very disorienting and distracting.
Livyst4 votesIt is especially bad for people who shrink the Bar size down for seeing room.
Grukksmash4 votesI agree that moving the buff locations was a bad call. We already check the center of the screen for a lot of data at a glance (CD's, health, mana, regen values, tooltips), so displacing buffs and other short term data seems counterproductive to the issue. Customizable UI's would be a welcome change I'm sure, but I can understand the difficulty in implementing it. I think another reasonable concession would be to change the location back to the old one and perhaps implement an opacity slider for those who find that the previous location clutters the screen? Just my $.02
2kjup3bruh4 votesYes. Yes! A thousand times yes! Lower left is a horrible place to put important information.
GrandMa5TR4 votesRiot please just listen to a reasonable request from the community that is clearly getting almost exclusively positive feedback.
A Slime Appears4 votesI'm curious why they even did it. Who was asking for this? I don't want it.
Colonel J4 votes+1
I agree, this is stupid having health potions in the center and mana potions on the left.
There are also so many other things that are just so pointless about these changes. Riot has always been about CLARITY, but this reduces CLARITY because now you have buffs and debuffs randomly in different places.
Màv3 votesAgreed
Spitemaster3 votesAt the very least, Targon's needs to move back to the middle. It's an item passive, and I don't care if it's got stacks and no 'active'.
Alëk3 votesI agree. this is especially important for jungle mains like me. it's kinda irritating
SIayton3 votesCompletely agree. Its really hard to find your buffs now. Like, it actually takes you out of the game for a second, where as when they were in the middle all you had to do was glance down briefly. Atleast give us the option to put them in the middle.
Sinspunch3 votesIm on board with this. 100% put it back xD
Stranger Dangers3 votesI also agree
UnSeenDeath883 votesI agree it's even more annoying for people who have their hud minimized some, I thought it was just fine where it was, I agree with the option though, that's something I wish Riot would give more flexibility on, would be nice to customize our HUD positions more that we can currently.
Livyst3 votesYES!!! I said same thing when I played today. I can't play when I have to constantly look to the side and unlock screen and play all at the same time. When I have to keep looking that way to see how many stacks of something I need, It really distracts me to the point of anxiety attacks, low self esteem, and my brain just gets chaotic. Riot please put this back to normal lol.
Strilter3 votesThis is insanely annoying. I lost like 3 cannon creeps because I was frantically looking around trying to find the freaking indicator. Also @ the devs. Heroes of the storm uses a very similar setup to what you just changed these indicator locations to with the passives on the left side and actives across the middle of the lower area around the bar... But seriously I need to be able to look at these indicators quickly.
Freeskrilly3 votesAgreed. Change it back to the way it was.
Triangle Man3 votesPlease allow us to have our buffs lain out over the skill/healthbar so that we can keep track of all of them at once instead of arbitrarily splitting them.
AND please fix the chat resetting to default location and opacity EVERY SINGLE GAME to the way it used to be where it stored position and opacity.
Pls Rito
Motajo3 votesIn a fight with a crapton of particles, it's actually more difficult to tell what's affecting me now. I was killed by an Ignite that I thought had already finished because I glanced toward my action bar and didn't see it (friggin second-nature). I'd really love an option to set buffs and debuffs back.
Hopeslayer3 votesits extremely annoying and looking to lower left screws up your peripheral view , at least when its in the middle you can still see things coming at you
and yes some of us have bigger screens, and/or ui scaled way down so it is very far and takes your eyes off the fight
Worldwyrm3 votesI've developed a hatred for the new buff bar location very quickly. Support in moving it back to where it was.
Evil Jester3 voteseven after all this time, i still wish they would put them back in the middle. Its so annoying having to look away from the action just to see whats affecting me.
Tundra Fizz2 votes+1
It's extremely annoying to have all status icons split up. It's much easier to see them when they are all in one small area at the center-bottom of your screen.
DíckWallace2 votesReviving this old thread. I don't understand which icons go where and why. Some appear on the left, some in the middle. Sheen buff appears in middle but yet Quinn's W passive when active appears on the left. Why did there have to be a change?
MarkedOfKane2 votesI cant think of any benefit to the icons being far down in a corner.
Looking at them is tunneling.
CoinPop2 votesI find it funny how riot was saying that one of the things they want in the game is clarity on everything going on. Same patch they move buffs/debuffs you really want to see at all times and are very important in the corner and make them in fact smaller than they used to be.
Dan Zin Xin2 votes6 months later still nothing, thx riot.
