You know what I liked about the old HUD?

Everything had it's place.

How's my team doing? Check the left side of the screen How's the score? Top right How is my champion doing personally? Bottom left Let's check the map. Bottom right Where can I check my items? Why, of course they're right next to my champion stats How long until my actives are off cooldown? Right above abilities, after all, both are activated effects to an extent How long until objectives and enemy team members are up? Hit tab

The new HUD is an absolute clusterfuck. Map? Bottom Right. Items? Bottom right. Team? Bottom Right. Recall button (not like anyone uses it though)? Bottom right. Personal score? Bottom right. Honestly, this was the biggest peeve. I didn't even realize I was doing good because it seemed out of the way to check the score. Combat stats? I dunno lol. Good luck with seeing that, dickhead. Seriously, normally I can check how much AP/AD whenever, which a quick easy glance. It's such a hassle now that one time I checked and had less than 400 AP, next time I checked I had nearly 1000

It seems like Riot just shoved everything possible into the bottom right. And your ping isn't even shown unless you Ctrl + F. I kinda feel like that should be default. And it seems like Riot tried to hide some things. Seriously, you shouldn't need to go out of your way to check how much fucking movespeed you have. I shouldn't have to take a solid 5 seconds to realize I have no wards in my inventory. I didn't even realize I had my sweeper half the time because it's just blended in off to the side like it isn't even an item. I shouldn't just realize 30 minutes in that I'm 5/0. The entire left part of the screen has nothing at all, and yet the bottom right has 74 different things.

Very well articulated

You're only having trouble finding specific things because you haven't had time to learn where everything is. It is over all less organized but it's hardly a clusterfuck. The stats thing I can understand, but it isn't that bad. A lot of stats like crit chance and cdr you already needed to hit C to see before. Doing that is only faster now that it doesn't leave a whole window open. I think you should also grow to be fine with this once you learn what stat is where on that table(u can mouse over the icon to display it until then).

You also needed to hit ctrl F to display ur ping before, it is actually better now that if you do it and leave it up, it will be on by default on future games.

Overall I feel like the new UI was unnecessary, but not bad at all.
