When Does Rito Plan to Bring the New HUD Into Ranked?

I am one of the few players who seem to actually enjoy the updated HUD. The only complaint I even have about it is not having the option to click the "Ping" button and then click the Map to place a Ping. I'd been playing Normals all day just to get a feel for the new and updated HUD, and I immediately got used to it. At the end of the day, I felt good enough to play a Ranked game. However, right when I got into the game, I was not used to the old HUD appearing. When I was holding TAB, I was commenting on how much of the screen the player info was taking up. I had finally remembered that it was to be tested in Normals first. So, when will the new HUD be implemented into Ranked?

P.S. - A lot of players are complaining about the new HUD, and I personally like it. I'm hoping that Rito doesn't scrap the new HUD completely and give the users back the old one. Instead, I hope Rito can decide to just add an option to go back to the old one if the user wanted. This would satisfy both parties.

The new HUD provides information that the old one didn't (global dragon/baron timer might be specific to it, and ally Ult/spell timers), so they can't do that because it would give people an advantage depending on them using the new one. That's like their golden rule; everybody has the same thing.

I doubt anyone has a real schedule on when the HUD will move to ranked, because it depends on whether they have bugs to fix in it first. With so many people not liking it (at least for now), they might even tweak it beyond bug fixes.

While it does take up less of the screen, it still needs tweaks. I feel it was released too soon.

Also after reading this thread, my assumptions were proven correct. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/tKWIQPFi-why-do-we-even-have-pbe-or-boards-anymore

A lot of the info we actually want is now smaller than it was before on the old HUD. Example - Team mates life and mana bars and summoner timers. The minimap is now this strange blue color instead of being like an overhead view of SR.

It is fairly easy getting used to it, but there are still a lot of things that could be better with it. I feel happy but disappointed at the same time.

they will put in in ranked once they have made it as close to perfect as the community wants and once they have fixed all the bugs that came with it
