Bigger Mouse Cursors for 4k resolution

Queen of Pain··14 votes·14,511 views

Hi@all,

I request bigger mouse-cursors for 4k-window resolutions... in 4k the mouse cursor is so small that in fight it is not observable anymore... -.- or please add a setting to change the cursor size...

Greetings, dyde

$800.00 for a sweet new 4k screen with amazing detail throughout the game and then a cursor so small you can't find it. Awesome. Why is there no option to increase the cursor size? It's not hard to do...

Same here with a 2k screen, it just blends in with the action and can't do anything useful. :( It needs something for better visibility.

I have the same problem with my 4k screen. I would really love to play in 4k but when I do, I cannot see the cursor anymore. It is like it just disappears.

I filed a ticket with player support and they suggested I post it here.

When playing in 4k mode, the graphics on the LoL client are quite outstanding. At some point everyone should try it on a decent 4k monitor. I use the BenQ 32" IPS panel running at 4k and 60hz and it is great.

However one problem I have is the cursor size. In team fights etc. the cursor is very tough to find because the sprite used for the cursor remains the same pixel size, and it gets a lot smaller and blends right in.

So the request is that in 3840x2160 mode we have a cursor that scales with the champions when the resolution changes. They still take up the same % of the screen size (just much more detail is drawn) so having the cursor behave the same way relative to the total screen area (and not just the pixels) would also be very helpful.

At least could we have an option to increase the pointer size by 4x if we didn't get the cursor resize relative to the resolution selected? Having a checkbox in options to do this could satisfy the request as well.

Thanks!

Me too! This is a deal breaking problem for me. I'm playing much less League after monitor upgrade and this is why. Please fix. Thanks.

I've actually gotten used to the minimap icons and kind of prefer the size the champs are on it. The health bars have also been fixed with the latest patch. The only problem left is the cursor. I agree that I wouldn't even care if they kept the same image quality and just scaled it by 4x if we could just get it to a size that it was visible.

I have the same problem: 4k screen with a tiny mouse pointer that makes it very frustrating to play especially in team fights.

I still cannot play with my new 4k laptop because everything is either too big or too small. Riot you need to fix this issue please

How big is your laptop? I have a 27'' and I've gotten used to everything but the but the cursor, but I'd imagine that might not be as good on a laptop.

Same Problem here, I did find that adjusting my gameplay res helps but then whats the point of the 4k right? Either way that doesnt really bother me as much as the FACT that I loose my Cursor because it Blends Into the Game. I'd Much Rather Be able to Change the Color of my Cursor to like a Neon Green or Blue so that way I NEVER loose track of my it.

Seriously Riot, get this done!!! Why is this still an issue I do not know. Stop making skins and new champions and put some people to work on this.

I just posted a solution to this at http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/Mlox282F-how-to-make-your-in-game-cursor-bigger

Basically - a free and easy to use app and a LoL cursor pack lets you make the standard cursors much bigger or use your own custom set.

Totally agree this should be a trivial fix. Please make it soon. Love the game but tired of losing my tiny cursor on my 4k monitor :(

Why has this not been fixed/addressed yet. The game is pretty much unplayable in 4k. Is it so difficult to give UI scaling options? PPl are punished for using better hardware?

Lol. 1 Year later and still nothing. I think I might lose hope that they will change this. It's a real shame too. It's so good in 4k.

For anyone who doesn't know why this is such a big problem, check out this video for a few seconds. Keep in mind, when you're actually playing, you have to be able to look around and find your mouse at a glance. https://youtu.be/BQG92HATfvE?t=15m41s
