New (4.20) Buff Display
I understand the ideas behind moving the buff displays to the left, over the champion splash art. Here's the thing, though: I liked it the old way. The dragon buff, I get. That's fine where it is. The same goes for side-quest icons. However, I used to main Nasus
. His stacks were much easier to see and utilize when displayed above the center HP-bar in the HUD. As a jungler (especially when I'm Nunu
- oh dear Lord the number of buffs haha), the buffs are ok to the left, but again are harder to see while keeping an eye on the rest of the screen/game. Having them displayed front and center allowed me to better/more easily factor them into my gameplay. I'm not calling for a throwback, to redo the template update; rather, I am calling for an option in the settings to allow players/summoners to display effects such as those mentioned above in the old fashion. Even aligning them to the left, while keeping items with active abilities to the right (to separate them and allow for better focus on items), would be great. Just an idea, but I think many would appreciate it (especially those who play Nasus or jungle or both).
P.S. I'm sure other champions would benefit but I'm most used to Nasus and his stacks. Another idea: have Nasus'
stacks be displayed like the new smite
damage is. For example, I haven't played Cho'Gath
since the new update so I don't know where his stacks are displayed as of 4.20, but he too might benefit from this.
