They loaded it up with a bunch of out of place, shinny, over sized crap. Why is this better than the old way smoother and simpler hud? when is button to revert to old hud in game being patched in?

I like it, easier to find everything in the midst of battle, my tunnel vision wasn't as insane, found it easier to check the map while in lane etc.

Most of the complaints about figuring things out will pass, everyone needs to get used to it, for it being better, entirely subjective but so far majority have enjoyed the new UI

Downvote away.

New HUD is trash. Needs to be removed, looks like something from an age 3 and over Acitivision game.

Love the new HUD, but do feel it's a bit too large! I scaled the interface down from 50% to 20% after the patch.

I wish you could disable the shop transparency. It serves no purpose and makes it a tiny bit harder to see.

I can't get past everything being an icon and the fact everything is so tiny and there are no contextual letter wording for me to visible and quickly glance at to figure out where I'm at.

I have to actively stop what I'm doing to double check a stat or my items because the new potion effect of where they grey it out (when your hp/mana is full) is too dark, I mistake a health pot and mana pot now because they are grey.

I move my items around because of hot keys bound to my mouse.

And the mini-map scale I have is set to maximum and it is still too small.

Checking your personal creep score and k/d/a is just in the wrong place.

The team portrait icons are small and cornered by your minimap, when before if I was playing shen atleast I can quickly snap over and hit ult to save someone from death. I feel like it being cluttered is making it worse because you have to precisely mouse over the actual feature you want to look up.

Whoever is darkening every graphic feature needs to grow up. The color palette is atrocious.

My biggest issue with the new hud so far is that everything is completely out of place of what I'm used to, everything looks darker in a sense and the color change messes me up as I'm used to how the old was.

I can't stop tunnel visioning because of how awkward it feels, and I feel like my map awareness just went out the window because it's unclear when a champ icon shows up on the map or if it's a darned minion dot.

I would prefer a revert or at least a toggle option to switch between the old and the new. I will never be able to get used to this, it's too uncomfortable for me and some people.

:/

I do like cookies though, that much I can say.

Because Rito is fucking awful company

Here's an analogy of what Riot tried to do. They thought "Hey, if we put EVERYTHING in the bottom right corner, it'll be easy to find all your information, right?" Well I could cram all my shirts, pants, socks, underwear into one drawer and they'd all be in the same spot but I cant navigate and find things because they are cluttered.

I don't understand why they even tried to change it lol.

I do not like how dim and dark the mini-map is. It is so hard to find stats and such because of how dim and small everything is. The spells and summoner spells are too jammed together and when they are on cd, they are so dim and faint that i can hardly tell what spell is the even on cd. Please riot, dont make this new hud permanent until it is fully functional. Why is everything tinted blue, i cant see anything!

I don't know why there was ever a problem with the old HUD. All they needed to do was add global ult timers

BrokenFrost7/23/2015, 1:37:42 AM5 votes

Don't change what isn't broken. The old hud was beautiful and functional. The new hud is like walking into an episode of hoarders buried alive, with the lights off. old hud> new hud for me personally.

My biggest problem is that i cant check my ping without spanning the the top of the map

This image pretty much sums up my complete experience with the new HUD. considered scaling the HUD size a bit up, but that would make this game go from League of Legends to "League of HUDs". Time for an extra monitor for my laptop (O ‿ O ✿)

  1. Leveling up is hardly noticed
  2. I really liked the previous large portraits in the corner you could choose to heal or monitor for their ults (and its gone now)
  3. Looking for your stat button on your icon for you AR, MR, HP etc is terribly small and confusing
  4. I think the frame rate is even lower.

Rito did you play test this at all???

This game has been literally RUINED in a single update.

I don't get the need for this at all. I don't even want to play now.

My disdain for the new hud is from how !*@&ing small the "champion health / ulti" icons are for your team. They're miniscule off in the corner, it takes much longer to get a "read" on my team.

There is literally nothing oversized about the new HUD. If anything, it's ridiculously tiny.

ai wo7/22/2015, 10:30:26 PM3 votes

Please make a button in settings for everything to be reverted to old style. Everything new is disgusting, the HUD is confusing and is shitty to look at while being hard to see. The Voicing sounds like Halo 2 and then redone to be even worse. Its all garbage and league simply feels unplayable now.

everything is squished together that I can't even get the info I need at a glance anymore, I have to look at the whole thing
