The new font is terrible

BuggyBee··50 votes·25,941 views

The new font added in 8.20 is imo a mistake by Riot. The new text is severely smaller than the old(and better one), which makes it hard to actually read what your cd's are or how many pots/wards you got left. The numbers indicating level both in the HUD and in Tab/Scoreboard is not even centered, which is plain stupid. It sorta looks like Riot trained new employees for League, however they accidentally wrote new code into the actual game and not some random spreadsheet.

You're definitely right in that it was a mistake made by Riot! We're working on getting a fix out since this is actually a bug :(

Hey could you maybe make this an option, because I actually prefer it to the previous size.

Please fix Shaco's boxes death sound, annoying bug as hell

What's the bug?

When the box dies it plays the shaco death sound

upvoted on that bug for the boxes death sound. I noticed it today

Don't forget, along with the fix, to nerf other champions in order to balance Kai'Sa (best joke 2018 I have ever heard from you tbh).

RiotRiot MapleNectar8 votes

Glad I could give you a giggle!

Tomoe Gozen3 votes

Maybe this concept of balance is alien to you but when we are talking about potential buffs/nerfs, sometimes other champions that are being played on the same lane as the said champion, ACTUALLY IMPACT THEIR POWER LEVELS. Which means that Kai'Sa is potentially fine except that the usual supports do too damn good of a job in providing the protection/safety Kai'Sa lacks.

This likely skews her own power level and leads people to believe that she needs to be nerfed more, where in the chance you do that, you will condemn her to basically be only marginally playable with those specific supports and trash when paired with everyone else.

Ęsdeath1 votes

You want me to be totally honest? I would agree with such a "tactic" if it actually worked.

Besides, why nerf other champions to balance the game around one champion? You are literally (and indirectly) affecting others' gameplay simply because the champion you are playing synergizes better with other champion ... And I mean, it wasn't just one champion [that synergized with kai'sa], they nerfed more than one, actually.

But the worst of this stupid ideology of balance is that they buffed other ones that are good "against" kai'sa - Meanwhile they are played with her. Doesn't make any sense, and the proof that their way of balancing the game is wrong and "futile" speaks for itself. A second staring at the game is enough to reach that conclusion.

By the way, people can downvote me to hell, the truth is they will upvote the next vote for saying the same thing I said but under different words. - Hypocrisy at its best, or easily-persuaded minds, your call.

Nice to know that you all are already on this case.

Can you fix the invisible healing glyphs in ARAM along with it? Half of them are not visible on the screen, and it's not an isolated incident. Hadn't it been for the respawn timers (a tactical calculation I've always preferred to do in my head), we'd just have to walk over the glyph spot and find out.

EDIT: Which also includes Taliyah Q-patches. Sometimes, they just disappear.

And what about the every-lobby resetting summoner spells? Also something that happens to several players. https://eune.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-820-notes#patch-upcoming-skins-and-chromas

And lastly, the Odyssey Ziggs Chromas are still not showing in the store. They went away the moment the skin shard was unlocked.

Hey MapleNectar.

Speaking of bugs I played a match yesterday’s and Skarners pillars and scuttle pool would not show in game. I could see their location in my minimap but once I arrived to its location thy were invisible to me. Sometimes they would pop back then go away again.

Just thought I’d let you know. :)

RiotRiot MapleNectar5 votes

Thanks for the heads up! I saw that on an internal playtest yesterday, but figured it was just a bug for us. Surprised to hear thatits also live, will make sure to look into it!

Flemman1 votes

maybe it's the same bug as aram health relic, those are invisible from time to time since last patch

RiotRiot MapleNectar5 votes

Would imagine it to be related for sure, this is probably caused by one thing which impacts several circle visuals. Hopefully we can track it down quickly

ZackTheWaffleMan1 votes

don't forget the bug with anivia and overheal, it gives her a shield for a very large amount when she eggs

RiotRiot MapleNectar2 votes

That should be fixed as of last night!

PaladinNO1 votes

So it's not a bug for Anivia then, but for Eggnivia.

Taliyah Q-patches are turning invisible too. Not always, but when they do, you have to step on them to see where they are.

A friend of mine playing Zoe also noticed that her E trap would disappear as soon as it hit the ground, but would still play the sounds like it was there.

Dessem1 votes

Bug appears to be primarily when the health relic spawns while out of sight for me. Hope that helps.

There's also the Taliyah worked ground bug which makes half of the worked ground circles disappear.

Oh, and testing such obvious feature is too much to ask for, eh? QA is a joke. "Oh, we just pump in something in the editors, built the files, ship it out to millions of clients...but testing it first locally???"

We didn't see this on any of our internal playtests, and it only started happening once the patch was live so we're trying to figure out what happened.

What about Coop VS AI that starts red side instead of blue side since this patch ?

mikeov2 votes

Intermediate Coop vs AI could always start on either blue or red side. Starting only on blue side was a bug.

I only do Beginner, and it starts red side now. At least for the 2 game I made.

Do you know of any way to switch back to the old font? This new font makes the game feel unplayable to me.

Autrah Fang1 votes

Imo one of the voting options should've been "I didn't even notice" because, to be honest, I didn't even realize there was a new font until you mentioned it ._. (I haven't read the patch notes yet either lol)

I did notice that the loading screen % numbers seemed a little smaller than usual though, but I thought that was just an issue with my resolution. (or maybe it's been fixed by now? I noticed there was a hotfix when I logged in earlier)
