The green circle which show the ultimate

TED Flaws··180 votes·14,655 views

I am wondering if it could be more interesting and easier for teamfight if we add a timer to the green circle instead of an insta-green. I mean it could be a lot easier for people to know if it is wondering to engage or not a teamfight. It would be differents colors which means different status, orange if the ult is loading (just black before level 6) then green with a little animation or effect when the ultimate is ready, then if you're oom the circle would be blue and the form could be like a clock. Even if it would be useless in party group but in SoloQ i mean YoloQ, you can't really both speak and play, it would be interesting to have information by ourselves than asking him just front of a teamfight.

Btw I am sorry if my english is not so correct, I tried on the french forum, people approved but I need a larger people to agree in order to react Riot about my proposition.

I did a screen of what it could looks like. (I did not add the color on my screen, the idea of color is assigned to the french community). Thx for reading.

Uhh could you also mention this same idea, but for summoner spells? I want to see my teammates' timer on it when I hit the Tab button.

...why not the same thing you see in Spectator mode?

Amazing!

Or even far better, they just show the same thing that you see in Spectator mode; it shows the CD of everyone's Ultimates and Summoner Spells.

The spectator view* includes* that which is why I suggested it...have you ever watched a match in spectator view (including LCS)?

I think we have a misunderstanding, when I talked about live game it was out of spectate mode, it is the game you are playing.

Ya, I know... I'm saying to put what is shown in Spectator into your live match...

Yes! I don't know how much time I've seen wasted in match with people stopping to ask me if I have teleport up, or telling people when it's up or going to be up. This would eliminate that. It might increase clutter a tad, but I'd be okay with that. I don't feel that I should need to be in Skype with my team in order for us to coordinate this sort of stuff without wasting time typing it out.

Yes but how much space on your screen would that take up? But the circle wouldn't take up any space.

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

See the team on the left? That'd be what you see at 70% HUD scale. The increased size is insignificant, though how much of your screen it fills always depends on the UI scale you use. I'll do another with larger 100% UI scale to compare, it's still not interfering.

I really haven't used spectate in a long time. I honestly thought that it said how long in in seconds next the the icon and that it took up a ton of space. This might work though.

Someone else suggested this a while ago, but it would be better if it went greyed out 0% -> red 25% -> orange 50%-> ->yellow 75% ->green 100%. I think if it's green the whole time people will make mistakes.

really, as long as it's one distinct color while not cooled down, and the green once it is, it should be readable

easyer : green 100% ,and yellow not 100%.

Why stop there? Show allied summoner spells just like spectator mode.

I don't know if it is a good idea, but people would criticize his allies' move, like why didn't you flashed and so on

We need to know when that summoner 12 & summoner 11 are up tho.

That is a good idea. I don't care about people criticizing my choices why I did or did not use my ult. You share vision and that doesn't actually make real world sense. Its just a video game thing. All allied CD info should be shared naturally or by selection.

That's probably the right reaction but everyone is not strong as you.

It should be gray until it is full, then it turns green. Just for clarity.

Good idea, but I wouldn't make the circle green until it's ready. Make it yellow while charging and switch green when completely ready.

Simple is almost always better when it comes to UI. While I do think using quarter increments of a green/black circle could work, I also think it wouldn't be particularly easy to see. You really want something that's going to pop out. There are others that have recommended different colors, I think that's a step in the right direction. As long as you can easily identify the ultimate status indicator with your peripheral vision, I think it doesn't matter how it works, although I agree with your original point that it would be nice if there was some way to tell how much longer until the ability is up.

It should be like Curse Voice had a while back. Shows timers.

Can we also have a unique sound that occurs when different champions ults are up? I think that'd be pretty spiffy~
