Good Day! With the introduction of 4k, I recently picked up a 4k monitor and thoroughly enjoy the resolution and picture quality. However, I find that the health bars on both the champions and minions are incredibly small and hard to see. Would it be possible to put health bar sizing in the interface options to further enhance the customization of the game? Thank you,
Driftwood.
Khal Daydreamer2 votesUnfortunately 4k support is on the bottom of the list for riot, so for 4k screen owners like you and me gaming quality is significantly reduced, to a level where I simply dont feel like playing it. I hope Riot will realise that its better to address the issue now, rather than wait.

The only problem was the mouse which was so small, it would get lost constantly making the game unplayable. Going back to 1080p but god dang, I miss that quality. It's pretty painful going back.
As of patch 7.24, the scaling for health bars was fixed for 4K. So, I figured I would put in a ticket inquiring about a fix for the cursor and see what's up. This is what the rioter Corndog said in response as of December 12th 2017. Hope this is a satisfying explanation.
"Unfortunately as you've said, League doesn't yet support 4k resolution. We hope to have it implemented in a later patch, but it's not something that can be discussed at this moment. As far as "why not just make the cursor bigger", it's a matter of how the UI scales as a whole. When the resolution is bigger than the game was designed for, it would be a matter of sizing everything about the game larger, not just the cursor to fit. You can change this in a way, by changing the game's video settings to play in Windowed mode at 1920 x 1080, which scales the UI to fit correctly. I understand that this makes the game smaller, but that would be the only compromise I would have to offer, aside from scaling your monitor down to 1920 x 1080, which downgrades your monitor's image quality."
Paroe1 votesDoesnt having a MUCH larger screen result in an unfair advantage to begin with? I know using multi monitor set ups does, and a large enough display can let you literally see the entire map.
Why would riot support 4K when its not the standard, then?
