Responses to posts about Patch 5.14 (Opinion/Feedback)
TO ANY RIOTER WHO MAY READ THIS There are a lot of negatives in this post, but the boards are full of negativity right now, so I made sure that I also added positives. Keep in mind that I appreciate all the effort that you're trying to make to make League of Legends a better game, and I don't mean to be a dick, but I just wanted to have my opinions voiced. Im happy that you're trying new things and sometimes they fail, but please look past the blatant honesty of the community to see what needs to be fixed. "Your fucking Hud sucks, let me move shit around" is a pretty rude comment, but if you look past the first part, I guess its not so bad, and its feedback nonetheless. So, yeah. I don't mean to be offensive or anything with any of my comments, just being honest.
First of all, to the Mac users who crash... Try reinstalling the client. I use a Mac and I still run at 80 frames on ultra and havent crashed yet, maybe your client was corrupt with the patch. Check out this boards post for information about crashing clients : http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/ar3AhWfH-patch-514-constan-crashing-mac
HUD Update NEGATIVES
- I REALLY don't like that the minimap seems/is so much smaller. Also, I didnt completely check yet but I believe in order to scale the map you have to scale the entire HUD. Not cool, Rito.
- The teammate health/mana/cd bubbles are too small and I don't like the location.
- Might be because i'm not adjusted to it, but checking my KDA/CS is confusing the hell out of me and I keep forgetting where it is because it seems completely out of place right over the minimap. I actually find it a lot harder to look at the minimap now. Its also the same gross green as the rest of the HUD. (I really wish there was an option to change the color of the HUD and gave you the option to click and drag things to where you want them)
- I don't like the item bar being so far on the right. I feel like too many things are on the right and its not somewhere Im even remotely used to looking. (Once again, PLEASE let us move things around to our comfort) POSITIVES
- I love how the new scoreboard is, with the teams side by side and that you can move around the players to show their matchup.
- I like that your champions stats can now be basically toggled on or off.
- The new sound effects for opening menus, purchasing, levelling an ability etc is very pleasant. These positives do not outweigh the negatives. Once again, if we could move things how we pleased, I'd be so in love with the new HUD.
Bilgewater Event NEGATIVES
- Gangplanks voice is tilting me so fucking hard. Not because I have something against the champion, its just that I really, really don't like it. I hate the pirate talk, I hate the voice. Especially since I have to hear it every 3 seconds. I much preferred the female voice because its gentler and I can block it out so much easier. (At the same time I don't wanna turn off announcer volume, qq.) I would've been incredibly happy if they gave the option to switch from GP to Miss Fortune for the voice over. (Or at least gave the option to use the default)
- I know that its a really big time for ARAM right now but I hate that I'm being forced to play it for the icon challenges. Like I've had to play like 8 ARAMS in the past 2 days and ARAM just really, really isn't fun for me. I feel that its too grind-y and that it shouldn't be that way. Maybe if the challenges were open to all maps and not shove ARAM down peoples throats that want the rewards? (I do totally understand why. They worked hard as hell to reskin Howling Abyss, but still.) I totally realize its too late to just change the challenges, but maybe for next time, try and not make people play one specific map for challenges, because others will feel as I do. Thanks! POSITIVES
- You gave me a new Quinn skin. Danke.
- I love the work that always goes into your bigger events, thank you very much for actually putting in the effort as a company to make these great events, even if they aren't completely perfect.
Thats all I can currently think of. There are no gamebreakinig issues that I've encountered, havent crashed, havent had missing pieces of the hud or anything. If theres anything else, Ill edit it in.
EDIT
Fiora Rework This one is a simple one. I think her new kit looks great and surprisingly fun, but on the downside I think her splash could use a bit of work. Her new appearance is something I'm also a fan of :)
