Its late 2017 and I was wondering if anyone has found a fix for 4K UI scaling in league. Healthbars, cursors, minimap icons , and Shop is waay too small. Does anyone know how to fix the UI scaling while keeping 4k resolution?
Popstar Bulma1 votesi'm having the same problem. on top of that i don't have an in-game chat
Octavia1 voteswhat fix? there can be no fix found, riot hasn't made the assets for 4k and don't care about fixing it.

Feelsbad even the other big companies got 4k support like Dota and a very little percent of their player base uses a 4K monitor.

As of patch 7.24, the scaling for health bars was fixed for 4K. So, I figured I would put in a ticket inquiring about a fix for the cursor and see what's up. This is what the rioter Corndog said in response as of December 12th 2017. Hope this is a satisfying explanation.
"Unfortunately as you've said, League doesn't yet support 4k resolution. We hope to have it implemented in a later patch, but it's not something that can be discussed at this moment. As far as "why not just make the cursor bigger", it's a matter of how the UI scales as a whole. When the resolution is bigger than the game was designed for, it would be a matter of sizing everything about the game larger, not just the cursor to fit. You can change this in a way, by changing the game's video settings to play in Windowed mode at 1920 x 1080, which scales the UI to fit correctly. I understand that this makes the game smaller, but that would be the only compromise I would have to offer, aside from scaling your monitor down to 1920 x 1080, which downgrades your monitor's image quality."
DW4RD3N1 votesThere's better news!
What I can commit to is looking into it. Converting the healthbars over into new tech allowed us to make them support 4k. Cursors and minimap icons and some other less important UI bits are still way too small as you noted.
Converting those other elements is not simple and not something we would want to take on, but there might be a stopgap solution which just allows them to scale.
