Bottom HUD restricting vision and abilty to hit full attack rang

Briggany·Jan 31, 2016·1 votes·579 views

I play mainly as Azir, but have noticed this with other champs as well. The HUD along the bottom seriously restricts your ability to hit full range with your Q. if you hover over Q you can see the range circle, however a good inch deep of the circle and 4 inches across the bottom are blocked by the HUD meaning I can't attack the space that is there. The only way I can see it getting improved is moving the HUD or allowing us to zoom out further so that we can see and use the entire attack range that they give the champions.

I hit space bar to make my HUD disappear, but it's very risky losing all that vision...

You would think that Riot could give everyone the blue view in games....

A lot of people have requested this. It's still unclear to me why they can't consider it.

Not everyone is skilled enough (or even wants to be) to play with the camera unlocked. Just seems like a bad plan overall to leave it in a state where we can't rotate the map based on our side.

You know, you can make your HUD smaller right?

Maybe I can help you.

First: You can rescale the HUD in your settings in "Interface" I think. The Mini Map and Chat size can be rescaled separately. I have my HUD rather small and bumped up my Mini Map to "100". You do as you want but if you struggle with how to adjust it, here's how I do it.

Second: League has added a "Camera Lock Setting" a couple of months ago and you can choose between "Fixed Offset" (camera locked to have your champion in the middle of the screen), "Per Side Offset" (camera locked to have your champion adjusted to the side of the map you're playing, i.e. blue side= champion in the bottom left corner; red side= champion in the top right corner) and then there is "Semi-Locked" (This lets you move your map freely until your champion collides with one of the borders of your screen). The problem with this one is that "Per-Side Offset" doesn't behave like it should since Patch 6.2 ... At the moment it is identical to "Fixed Offset" and it bothers me really hard as I always have "Per-Side Offset". I'm pretty sure this is the one you are looking for. This issue is at the top of the bug reports for Riot already. So it will be fixed very soon.

Third: I have a keybind to the space bar for "Toggle camera lock". This lets you switch between locked and unlocked really easily. This is just a personal preference and it helps me work around the problem with "per-side offset" until it is fixed. I always used it like this because being unlocked permanently makes me lose control too often and being locked permanently basically keeps me from playing the game as I have no idea what's going on. You can try it and maybe you like it.
