I recently went back to the Old Client and I have to say

It's so much better. It might not have the visual flare that the new client has, but everything is so clean and organized. It is much more organized than the new client, and I'll argue that the older champion page in the shop is so superior to the new one that they should reconsider which one to use. I'm all for updating the client, but they lost so much clarity when they reworked it to fit with the Hextech theme. Even the old sounds were sharp and crisp, and I can't help but feel like the new ones are just a blur and hard to differentiate.

I guess my request would be an option to have some retro features when everyone is eventually forced to switch to the new client. It would be nice with an option for old sounds, or even old icons in the client, as I feel like the lack of color in the new ones just helps blur the whole client out and make it unclear and hard to use.

Thanks for reading :)

You just have to get used to the new client. Getting rid of the old client is a big change, and of course it will take a lot of time to get used to the new one, and it's expected that people will think it's less organized and stuff is harder to find. But give it some time. I've used the new client for long enough to get used to it, and I have to say that it's an improvement in almost every way.

Give it some time, turn on "low-spec mode" if you're having any performance issues, and wait for them to start adding a butt ton of features to it now that the old client is gone!

If that's what you really want, just change them. I've been using the new client ever since it came out and I thoroughly enjoy it, yes, it has it's quirks. But so did the old one. Also, a lot of the sounds are pretty much the same. So I don't really know what you mean.

I don't really see what makes the new client a "blur" or hard to use. What part makes you feel that way?
