[Gameplay HUD FEEDBACK] Can Riot Add Bright Colors to Map?
TL;DR Minimap feels like it wants to be ignored. Colors do not stand out.
Solution: Make colors on allies and enemies stand out. Allies can be Cyan, and enemies can be Orange to compliment the almost dull ish looking blue-like minimap.
I still love many of the other changes.
Now more details.
THE ISSUE: The new map seems too dull. It is not so easy to look at. To some extent, your eyes want to block out the map more easier, and at the distance i am sitting from my screen, it should not be within my eye's blind spot, yet it feels like my eye still wants to ignore it.
To me, the map looks too blue, like a metallic-ish gray-ish blue and my allies' bubbles barely stand out. The enemy bubbles or pics also barely stand out, even if they are red, but they are a magenta or dark red that barely stand out.
SOLUTION: Make enemies a brighter color on minimap. Maybe ORANGE or BRIGHT RED. Why Orange? Well it is complimented by Blue and stand out XD (Yeah, ART!). Allies can be Cyan, to better stand out against the grayish dull minimap that wants to be ignored.
OR make the map lanes yellow, the enemies' pics can be purple to stand out (another complimented color XD). Allies can be like a green or something like that.
Seriously, the colors are not good.
Other Notes and What I love: I love the new location for your allies' ult timers, and i even love how it counts down to how when they get their ult! I love the respawn timers too on allies and enemies. Love how Baron and Drag start countdown even when no ally was there to witness the killing of said objectives. I love all of that. But that mini map is not the friendliest thing to look at.
Also, the new position of the xp gauge is weird to get use to, especially when i am in shop. I have to exit the shop window, look at how much xp i have left to go to get upgraded trinkets or sweeps. Not really a bad location, but would be nice if i can move it back when shopping, and once i exit shop have it go to middle of bottom screen.
I freaking LOVE the new Tab. Love the drags thing, the towers thing, the total kills, i love i can move champion info around, i love how easy i can see kills, assists, deaths cs, etc. Love all the timers on the top when i tab, they look ways to look at. I also love how i can pop out the character info that tells me stats.
So far, still got to get use to some of the new things. But seems i have gotten over some of the old. But i still feel the minimap can get some work done on it to make it more user friendly and to attract the eye there, not so much distract since having a minimap stand out is GREAT.
