I'll be honest, I LIKE the new HUD. I looks nice. Except for one, teeny tiny thing.

All I request is that CS, KDA and team KD please be relocated back to the tiny strip in the top right corner. I'm honestly finding myself hitting the TAB key on my keyboard to check my CS more often than I am looking down on my minimap for my CS.

We need to be able to see the game clock. We need to see our CS. But they've been separated into two opposite corners now, which makes going back and forth between them a chore. Can we at least put the clock and CS counts together, if nothing else?

I like the new HUD and want to make it work, but this is my only real qualm. Thanks!

I'd like the hud to be resizable, the champion info is too small

ArkenStorm4 votes

it already is? Options -> Interface -> HUD size, it's a slider bar

Yeah but it's still too small for the champion information.

I actually like where the CS and other things are right now, it's making me look at the minimap more often and that helps me deal with my horrid map awareness.

Y'know, it'll be better for you (and anyone else complaining about the new HUD) if you just play with it for a while- it's not set up badly, it's just set up differently than you're used to. First 10-15 games are pretty rough still trying to remember exactly where everything is (try going through a bots game or dominion or something, a game mode you don't care about too much- so losing won't make you rage about it).

However, after those games to set your adaptation it's actually nice- you can acquire info very quickly because there's less eye movement needed, it just takes some practice. And with the improvements for ult/summoner's/item/trinket timers, as well as not needing to tab for enemy death timers, it's a step up from the old HUD. Also the fact that we can move people around in the tab menu to compare lanes head-to-head. Yeah, there are some things that could be improved upon (I know that I'd personally like my items on the left side of my champion portrait and the stats on the right of the skills, but that's just so I can check wards while watching bottom-left from red side as a support main.), but I thought I heard somewhere that they're looking to add customization to it. Maybe a little bit of movement of parts and ability to disable the animations?

I'm in beta testing, and no, I still hate it. I first tried it months ago.

The new HUD looks good. The announcer VO is the only thing that sucks so much.

Why do you look at your CS so often? I personally just check it in TAB to see what lanes are winning in CS, and look at my gold to see how much gold I have.

Lao Fu the Tiger3 votes

Well, two things. Generally though, I care more about how much I'm beating the other guy by in any individual game though.

First, I'm nitpicky and always trying to beat my CS scores. I usually am aware of how many I have at 5, 10, 15 minutes. After laning I'm not too concerned.

Second, I don't like pressing TAB to check my score and block my screen for a second. When I check my own CS, I want to check it in relation to game-time It's 10 minutes in? In that case, do I have more than 80CS? With the top right bar, bam, bam, same place, done, back to the game. New HUD, I look at the time, then have to look in a different area entirely to see the farm. Or I check the time and hit TAB.

It's inconvenient, but I don't expect change. I'll just adjust, I guess..

Oh, okay. I think somebody said Riot was working on more customizibility (I don't think that's a word) for the new HUD. I may be wrong, though.

JimmyNtheKudos1 votes

This is also my biggest problem. It could definitely used some resizing (i.e. make it bigger) and add more contrast, but if they separated the CS and killscore I'd be mostly satisfied.

I think the new HUD should have more customization. Just for those who want to do things like this, or even for people who want to go back to the old setup. Just make it all free-form and mobile, like a Warcraft UI addon.

I found that using runkeeper to record my activities was a great way to have a little extra motivation to keep moving. Now that I've been running for a while, I don't use it nearly as much.

CS is great for analysis. It doesn't need to be on the main screen taking up space. It's like runkeeper, getting 5-10 min audio queues for pace is fine.

ArkenStorm1 votes

I'm with you bro. Plus where it is currently on the new HUD, the info is reversed and that bothers me.

i didnt want to create a new thread for this because its such a small issue but when you mouse over your ad, your attack range isnt showed anymore as well with the new hud. so add that back too.
