The new HUD is bad (detailed)

Hello, Im diamond 3 of EUW and... Im confused by this new HUD! When you deleted 2 my mains "AP Master Yi" and "AP Sion" (AP Tryndamere was nerfed too) I had to lose my time finding champions that fit me. After I found them I could continue to play. The EZ became OP because of the new item but I still can ban him in champ select. And now I looked at this and realized I cant do anyting with those changes! Im so confused by the new HUD that I cant play properly!

Minimap: huh what? Why did you moved teamscore, CS and KDA to my minmap? Is that so important to know im 50 CS with 0/8/0 KDA and 3/50 teamscore? And even worse that now there is not only champions moving on minimap but couple of useless numbers I can see any time by pressing Tab. The best you can do is to move it back to the top right corner. The champion icons are near my minimap... OH MY GOD their hp and mana change 24/7 and it distracts me even more than "useless" numbers! You should move them somewhere else. The corners are too big and merge with minimap: too much blue color! The corners must be small but noticeable to distinguish the game and minimap. In short, in the right bottom corner shouldnt be anyting else that minimap . Vision is one of the most important things to win in MOBA games.

Champion icon: why is it so big and in the middle of the panel?! I know how my champion looks and maybe he is cute enought but I have no time for this! I can open champ list and stare at my "fav" for many hours after a successful game but during this I really want to smash him for blocking my vision.

Items and gold: I know what items I bought and its not so important to know my gold amount 24/7 but no! Its in the middle of my window! I can look my gold if I want to base soon not the entire game.

Experience bar: meh... its just inconspicuous for me.

Cooldowns and spells: circles, circles... more circles! When i have 4 spells on a CD and when the one circle is on a half way it looks for me like CD is already gone and I press it... and nothing happends. Why not leave it like it was before? Icon is blue till the CD is gone and its k. After the CD is gone there is a short blue blink that makes me think its still on a CD. I would react faster if it becomes colorful immediately like it was before. And the spell icons are too big. Again, I know the location of my spells and I dont really want to look at them the entire game. The numbers are too small for that size of the icons. It would be better to make a HUGE numbers of a CD so we can see when it ends.

Focus: Too big spaces and face icon. Why? I dont want to see his face I just need to know if its AP or AD Tryndamere plz.

Tab: When I press Tab that means I have a break to see the scores, CS and items. But you made the tab panel so smal like you wanted us to use it during the teamfight. I cant see nicknames, I cant see if someone is ignored and its bad because I can ignore on of my teammates by chance and I wouldnt know it till the end. And again, the color is merge with everything.

Stats: They are not green anymore, inconspicuous and too deep in the corner. The enemy is coming for me and I really need to know how many AD he has 100 or 400.

Also, too big space between my health bar and spell icons.

Im going to take a break in a hope someting will change.

Last week called, they want their "I hate the new hud" post back. Seriously alot of people dont like it, but they are getting used to it.

What you're saying makes no sense to me. You're calling some numbers useless and other numbers not-useless...? You don't want to know MORE information when you look at the mini map? Okay...taking away that extra information will certainly help you...

The 'stats' doesn't make sense. It still displays a box giving an overview that is almost identical to the previous hud, except in graphic style.

'Tab' also makes no sense to me. It isn't that small, 'I can't see nicknames' Can you elaborate on that? Why would that matter and why can't you see them? Ignoring someone by accident is something that I have NEVER done in the history of League of Legends, and by making the ignore button smaller and only pop up when your mouse is on the faces of the champion portraits makes it more unlikely. This is just a strange nit-pick.

"Experience bar: meh... its just inconspicuous for me"

the main thing that annoys me is that as far as i know there is no way to know how much armor/mr pen you have, nor how much lifesteal/spellvamp you have nor how much crit chance you have. Sure you can do math and add all those stats but i don't want to do that, why should i even care what's the range of my character? that number tells me nothing useful. Other than that the new HUD is decent enough

KDA, CS and score is going to be moved back to the top right corner. Check last PBE update.
