Can someone help me understand something.

What is the problem with the new HUD.

I hear a lot of people complaining, but I've only use it in about 4 games.

So far, I've not seen anything that really annoys me about it, but since there seems to be some uproar, tell me why you dislike it.

My dislikes about the new HUD:

  1. Everything is on the bottom/left of the screen (Maybe it's just my OCD that makes me dislike that portion so much)

  2. Champion frames are much smaller and health bars are harder to see and the new placement just seems to off, almost like I'm "straining" to see them, it's just not a visually comfortable location for very important information.

  3. Text is very small, while the HUD it's self seems larger, or at least the main action bar area, the text seems to have gotten smaller, and makes it harder to quickly view. (I have bad vision as is, this does not help at all)

  4. Stats that were previously available on the screen at all times are now only shown while pressing C, if you were able to press C as a toggle option and allow those stats to stay on the screen I'd be happy to have to toggle it on every game.

  5. One thing, that I guess ill just get used to and it really isn't all that bad I guess, but the little arrows or w.e as you level up that show above your abilities, it's not a bad thing, I just find the new indicator really ugly compared to the last one.

Now these are just things I've come to dislike while playing in ARAM and actually having to I guess "relearn" the HUD, since all the changes.

I'll update my post after doing more games and trying to get a better feel of things, at least after a match in Summoner's Rift, since at the start of the game it's a bit slower paced and I'll be able to view things a little better. I'll also post a few of the things I enjoy about the new HUD.

::::UPDATE::::

Number 4. So this option is actually able to be toggled on by pressing the icon on your character frame

Things I like about the new HUD:

  1. Timers for teammates Ults

  2. Text on health/mana bar seems to be more defined

  3. K.D.A on champion frames

  4. Cool down timers/Animation

Thanks for sharing that.

I just looked at the team portraits and I have to agree that the health bars are really really hard to read.
