This new HUD has changed so much about the interface that in my opinion it impacts it negatively. I hope Riot fixes this and/or gives us the option to change it back!!!

The new hud is much better in terms of gameplay. It fixes a lot of the old hud's game play issues

I would like that too. It takes me a second or two to find my information that I need. The Champion Information (Press C) is much to small. It used to be a full window like the scoreboard. Now it's a little rectangle by the champion level circle. I dislike how everything is in the middle, and I don't like the new Skill Point Level, I liked the plus's better. I also don't like the new scoreboard, I want them on top of each other, with your team being on top. The only reason people would ever need to check it is because of items and to check the enemy jungler, and late game to see if you almost aced so you can get Baron or push without fear. Please give us an option to either customize it or just switch between the two most recent HUDs Riot. This is probably even effecting the outcome of high level ranked matches, just because everything is so different.

The reason it takes you a second is because it's new. and you can keep your champion info up at all times by clicking the little icon on your character right by where it pops up, or doing ctrl+c. Did you instantly know where everything was at all time the first time you played League? I doubt it.

I know I can keep it up at all times, but it's very small. I liked the old window with all my info in big text and the champ face. If takes me a couple seconds to find my info, I could be dead by that time, or not where I should be. I didn't need to know where everything was the first time I played League. The first time I played League I didn't buy items and I health potted before fights. As Wukong I would try to damage people with my W.

they have already explained why they won't be doing that. they would have to update both and bugfix both and keep both up and it would be a nightmare for programming

That would be some real issues for super small company working in houses over nights.

But we are talking about RIOT. Their argument is just invalid.

Or they could just trash the new HUD, fire whoever greenlit it and just have the artists reskin the old one.

They should fire the idiots who designed this new HUD garbage and give us back the old HUD. Until then, I'm not touching LOL. P.S. Screw you RIOT!

I would be glad if an idiot like you never plays league again . Also don't touch food and stop breathing while you're at it. The team who made the HUD did great , you are just too close minded to give new things a chance . P.S. : Ești cel mai incult specimen de maimuță bărbierită pe care l-am întâlnit.

It's not going to happen. The put too much resources into the abomination. They're just going to cram it down our throats and tell us that we like it.

Didn't microsoft do this same thing? Trying to shove a UI down their customers throats? It's why they suffered in sales for 2 freakin years before they finally got it in their head that people didn't like or want windows 8 and it's metro crap. And now windows 10 still has elements of their annoying metro garbage. They still don't get it, and i guess neither will riot.

stop being pussies and just accept the change. riot isn't going to let you change it back

The simple answer is no. They will not do it because it would be a nightmare to code both of them.

That is a lazy excuse as the assets from both huds come from the exact same source, and you could literally reskin the old hud to look very similar to the new one. Obviously some changes would be in order, but this is by far the most desirable route.

You simply do not ever change a games HUD unless you have a damn good reason to do so (for example, lets say the old HUD was literally broken and didn't work properly). And even then you must ensure that the newer HUD more or less resembles the older HUD, especially in a game that has been around for years and has never changed its HUD in a long time. Drastic changes to the user interface in any form of online game generally causes uproar because people have grown used to the old system to the point that changing it would make the game almost alien to them.

I for one will not be playing league until they either give us an option to move parts of the HUD around and customize their size, or gives us the option to use the old HUD.

Most of the UI complaints are surrounding people being used to the old one, the rest are how small things can be, and how close together they are, something Riot has already said they are changing.

It's been 1 day and people are expecting to up and get used to the new UI and instead of admitting they need to get used to it they instead say it sucks, Because that' what people do, it doesn't matter if all the information is now together making it so you don't need to look all over the screen to find it.

Did you know low IQ correlates with lower tolerance for new things? Dear dumb people with a 2 digit IQ , shut up , the HUD is good , you just didn't get used to it yet.
