The new colors on the stats screen are terrible

Señor Karthus··244 votes·6,160 views

Now I don't know when someone left the room unless i check the names on the chat activity one by one. Red is no more "disconnected." Now the whole enemy team is red. In short: the new colors serve no purpose and are confusing when they were very simple and useful before.

I agree. After my match just now i saw 4 reds and thought to myself "Why are there 4 leavers?". When i saw my own orange color i thought "Wtf? Am i on probation or something?". I didn't even realize my teammates were blue until i left.

What annoys me the most is that some turn grey randomly. Sometimes when some of them leave but not the others. Sometimes they are grey even still being in the chat room. It is really bad :/

It doesn't really fit in the discussion subject, but lately I've been chatting with my friends on LoL messages and it shows they are offline even if they respond to me in real time. I think it's some problem that might be connecting these.

So...it's a "if it ain't broken, fix it till it is, then add duct tape"-strategy?

I agree, when I played a few arams we had an Udyr that DC'd at the start and never joined. His red color was one shade darker like not even enough to notice unless you looked at the honor button.

Yeah, the new colors seem poorly thought-out. They look neat and orderly at first glance, but, as you noted, there's a bunch of problems with the coloring now.

I don't mind the new coloring, except for the Red. Would be better to make that Purple and keep leavers as Red.

Back when it was purple VS blue: Yes. Now the color scheme is red VS blue; so changing red to purple would create a consistency issue.

That said, I still don't see why the felt the need to change post-game in the first place. :/

You can't even tell who is in the room still anymore, some greyed out names are still connected, some red and blue have left, you have to go through the yellow log of people that have joined and left the chat room to figure out if there's even anyone else there. This is stupid and needs to be reverted.

Yeah it kinda looks lame, I like the old one better

Nebuul5 votes

Agreed! There was no need to make this change, and it hurts readability.

32fV8dbrOb1 votes

so basically your blind? i mean you can still clearly read the names and report you just can't see if they left which why would you need to know anyway?

My first thought was that League thought the entire enemy team had been LeaverBusted. I don't understand why they changed it at all.

Incredibly annoying imo... :/

Was confused by some greyed out names. Couldn't tell what the significance of that was, since everyone had joined and then left the room, no DCs, yet some greyed and some not.

Ok, So how did the old colors served more purpose?

I get that you dont like the colors, but inventing extra reasons is childish.

In a modern UI it makes more sense "disconnected/unavailable/absent" to be lacking color instead to have the hottest color in the whole used palette like previously. Plus the colors are adequately representing "my team" - "opponent" colors.

In other words I lake the change and I think it makes more sense.

The propaganda starts from the title - "Terrible".

And then he goes and suggest that we are unable to mange our reports just because the colors are changed: "We summoners are so dumb that when one player is AFK we are gonna report 4 people just based on the color, because we cant count up to 2 opponents"

Old colors:

  • Your team is always on top and enemy team is always at the bottom. They are separated by different frames. There is literally no need to give them different colors to know which is each.
  • DC = red
  • Leaves the room = grey.

New colors:

  • Red color for enemy team when you already know it is the enemy team.
  • Almost indistinguishable from dc color.
  • Some people go randomly grey. It doesn't respond to leaving the room or not.
  • You can't tell anymore who left the room or not unless you go through all the chat log and read one by one who left and who didn't.

It makes no sense. It doesn't work properly. It serves no purpose.

Why the fuck would you need a color to tel you who is AFK?

People go AFK while still connected (Away.From.Keyboard). Are you incapable of reporting AFK-ers if the client doesn't outline them for you? You only report people who DC-d?

  • Red color for enemy team when you already know it is the enemy team. - So what? I like my enemies bloody colored
  • Almost indistinguishable from dc color. - Not much of a handicap if u ask me, I tell Rito who needs to get punished for AFK, not the other way artound
  • Some people go randomly grey. It doesn't respond to leaving the room or not. - We are doomed! the first bug in the bugless LeagoOfLegends! Who do you think is developing LoL ? Nintendo?!
  • You can't tell anymore who left the room or not unless you go through all the chat log and - same as the previous

When did I say afk? I said dc. Learn to read. And learn to talk like a mature person and not raging like a 13yo.

i love how this community rages at the dumbest shit possible lol, okay so they changed the colors get over it. It literally doesn't affect you at all unless you plan to rage or trash talk some one in post game lobby.

Señor Karthus2 votes

I love how you raged at something that you consider "the dumbest possible shit" and that "doesn't affect you at all." You read through the thread, clicked on comment and took the time to write this. All while it was of no interest for you. Talking about sad.

PS: just saw your comment history. You also took the time to create a troll account just to post "this community sucks" and "all you know is trash talk" every 3 messages.
PSs: your name is inappropriate and I'm reporting.

32fV8dbrOb2 votes

you can't handle the truth i get that.However just cause your mad doesn't make you right, and this community does suck a lot right now with all the perma banned toxics in low/mid levels. Regarding "it doesn't affect you at all" my statement was completely valid your in here griping about something that literally has no affect on you at all so what if you can't tell weather some one leaves or not if it was your plan to rage or trash talk then they probably changed it because of people like you. Really wish people would use their brains before raising the pitchforks and rushing over to the forums, also regarding the color oh well they changed it i suppose you will have to get over it.

I agree. I think they changed the screen to discourage post-game saltiness.

Señor Karthus2 votes

How does it discourage saltiness at all?

RikoZerame

People will be distracted complaining about the color changes, maybe?

Before this change, to determine if someone was in the room all you had to do was looking at their nick color. Now you have to go through a tedious list of activities to find out if a player is still in, which I guess most people won't find worthy doing just to say some salty words...

I wonder if this was a feature that wasn't supposed to roll out because I never saw any patch notes on it. I am an avid follower of the pbe and they haven't been mentioned that I know of.

For colorblind people this is a nightmare, how could you see who left unless you look at the honor buttons? It used to be so obvious.

its not bad, we're used to the previous way, so it might seem strange at first... just like the hud changes during bilgewater event

No. It is bad. And it doesn't work properly.

You playing on LAN? When someone leaves they get greyed out. If someone was afk in the game though,idk.

I reported a bunch of people for afk, then realized the UI changed. No idea why they changed it though. The old wasn't broken and the new one is confusing.

Not that terrible, but I agree, they need to make them more distinct from leaver-red.

Pykel1 votes

they really need to revert this, it was fine before. i get they are trying to make it easier to see right away which tema is yours and the enemies but i would much rather take half a second to find names/ champs than have this.

Agreed, this is really annoying. I report AFK's, period, regardless of who won and which team they are on, and this makes it take a lot longer to do so.
