Update The Inhibitor's Icon

Back when the map was updated (I think? I joined mid S5) the inhibitors got progress rings around them to show the time left until they respawned.

My suggestion to increase game knowledge, the same reasoning behind the Baron and Dragon respawn timers being added,is to add a visual indicator to the minimap to represent their respawning more clearly.

The indicator is a small progress circle of the team's color inside the inhibitor icon.

Ex: https://css-tricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/pietimer.png

This is a tiny, minuscule change that has obviously been thought of, albeit not voiced, by multiple people for months. (I was thinking of it for around 3 months before posting this)

This change may seem small, yet I believe that Aang can save the world that it is an entirely positive change that allows for a better, easier to learn League of Legends.

(and while you're working on inhibs, please make them targetable by enemy pings when destroyed the same way they are ping-able to defend when destroyed in your base)

isn't it officially the violet team or something? I've heard Rioters say something along the lines of that. Guess blue team is actually the amber team too.

I'll be honest, I didn't even know there was an indicator ring around inhibs. I always just judged it based on the crystals inside / general knowledge of how long inhibs are down for.

Definitely like your idea though. Certainly would help a lot for casuals like me.

We all know Rito loves their clarity even tho they removed it from the game lol

So it seems like a pretty good idea that shouldn't be too hard to implement. Upvote ^^

I'll be honest, I often find it difficult to read the broken inhibitors and determine how much time is left. The blurring of the blue completion bar and the fact that it doesn't come full circle could be addressed in addition to your suggestion.

The ring its the 3D model itself, spend some time looking at it :D

Never even knew that the ring showed progress to respawning. Always thought it was just a fancy particle. Welp, up you go! I'd love to see this change.

I've played this game since it released, and I wasn't even aware that they gave it the indicator ring for how long it has left. Hell, I haven't even bothered looking up how long they take to respawn because once one of them goes, the enemy gets baron and wrecks your base within your death timer.

Lol I didn't even know they had the border in the first place. ~#BronzeLyfe
