Blue/Red buff, Aura items, Passive buffs, Baron, Drake

Now most of the buffs are located above your champion icon And your passive's and item actives are above you ability bar now

All I'm asking, is to give us the option for us to be able to choose where our special information is shown

Left, Right, Middle, Top, Down

Would be awesome if we could choose where the buff icons are shown

You know what's the worst?

When your team is chatting and the whole chat box is obscuring your view from your buffs.

I mean...seriously Riot?

Whoa really? That's a huge interface issue...how did they let they slip by?

Make sense to give players that option.No one HAVE to have the buffs in a certain place.

Wish we where giving the option to customize it...

Why not just provide various different UI Layouts? That would be nice.

not a lot of games allow you to move your UI around extensively even though they really should.

My older brother still plays runescape and i see him customizing the new ability bars for that game. You can change the ui in that game even though there is a lot more things in that game.

I'm not sure why they would change it in the first place. Made a lot more sense before.

DUDE I WOULD LOVE THIS RITO PLS. If MMORPG's can have customizable UI's why not MOBA's? I don't see any balancing issues as it's just a preference.

Agreed, would be awesome to have this feature. The implementation seems relatively easy, right? Nope. Too complicated for Riot. Never gonna happen.

i mean i like the buffs above the map with the aa buffs and slows and all of those above my abilties but yes i do like this for other players

i dont disagree because its just such a small change that would help players.

but how often do you look at your buffs? maybe if youre mid and wondering how long you have your blue, but even thats rare. i think the aura buff is situationally more important, but those situations are enough to justify keeping it where it is. such as seeing the fiddle debuff to know he is near.

I would love to see this happen. I hate the new location over my Champion Icon vs over top of my hp bar/etc. It's not such an issue when I play on a monitor but when I'm playing on my TV I have to basically move my whole head and look away from anything that's going on just to see my buffs. This seems even more crucial with the added buffs from Smite's use in the jungle.

I hate the new placement so much, I barely notice it in comparison to it being in the middle. You actually have to look for it with it at the side.

I agree, it's also too small and far away from where the action is to be useful at all. They could've just as well removed it completely. How long is my Zilean ult? How much longer on my Twitch stealth? All kinds of timing issues are the result of this change... a change that has no reason to exist in the first place and is totally contrary to the design value of clarity. I'm just about ready to get me some third party software to fix this stuff.
