HUD

Agreed.

New HUD is actually feeling far more invasive of my screen space than the old HUD and being more annoying...

For me: ~It's noticeably more in the way, especially playing from red side ~The minimap area is now just a giant cluster**** of information that is poorly situated and generally hard to see. Having my allies faces and information at my disposal in the upper left part of my screen was good for me. It had its own place and was far enough out of the way. ~There's actually less information you can get to as far as your own character (unless they hid the clickable in a corner somewhere), you used to be able to view your specifics with armor/magic pen % and flat, particular numbers in regen rates, etcetera by clicking on the picture of your character, not so anymore. ~More just for my end, I liked being able to press Tab and see the names of whomever I was playing. It makes the game more personal and everyone's not just some generic schmuck. Was this one of the people you played with last game? Were they good/feeding? Unless they're extremely vocal in chat, it's just harder to remember people.

I too would like the option to have the old HUD back, it's pretty distracting and confusing.

There is no reason why RIOT should not give us an option to switch back to the old HUD. Everyone i know is complaining about the new layout but even more so about the fact that you cannot choose. Some people might like it but others are used to the old one, and have trouble re adapting after years and years worth of muscle memory training. It is only fair everyone should have a choice in which HUD they wish to have. Having no option makes it imbalanced.
