A better way to show the attributes of the items

New players find difficult to build items outside of the recommended tab. They just do not know what will benefit them and what won't.

I think that changing the color of the attributes of the items could help the newcomers to learn faster how to be effective with each champion.

For example:

Trinity Force:

+30 Attack Damage (would be shown in orange)* +30 Ability Power (green)* +30% Attack Speed (Red like on lucian's ult)* +10% Critical Strike Chance +8% Movement Speed +250 Health (Red again... maybe changing the color?)* +200 Mana (blue as on ryse skills)*

EDIT: * only the values would be shown in different colors

Since some people could find the multicolored shop annoying, this setting could be turned off on the configuration menu.

This is actually a decent idea, as long as the shop doesn't turn into a rainbow of colored text, as that would get annoying fast.

Would at least help give an easier visual link to abilities that scale off each stat. I could see attack speed being a pink instead. Red is more synonymous with health, and Lucian's is the only ability that has a ratio that scales off it I'm pretty sure.

RAINBOW BLAST!

Don't really think it'd necessary and it'd be garish as hell. Wouldn't inherently object to it, though.

i like this idea, it would help new and veteran players a lot

Maybe it could be a good feature, but if only the number would be colored and the name of the attribute remains in a standard color. If all the text is colored, it could generate confusion. I like the idea though

I love this idea i still don't know all the colors for the abilities. A lot of them look similar to bumps

Brawler's Gloves should come with a description of what crit does. "+8% critical strike chance. (Critical strikes deals 200% of your total attack damage)"

Should champion stats be the same color coding? like your AD also comes in orange so you know what is being affected by your purchases?

This seems unneeded for most though, maybe do it like turret range indicators and only have it in bot games?

Ew, green ability power. Yuck. Stupid mana stealing blue :/

Maybe we should start by first fixing the problem with itemization in this game.
