The reason for all this backlash...

KoT 284·Jul 22, 2015·8 votes·660 views

Is that Riot is trying to fix things that aren't broken. People were happy with the old Fiora's splashes and models. People were happy with the old HUD. And yet, for some largely unexplained reason, Riot feels that is should replace them with inferior, as is the majority opinion, counterparts.

Of course people are going to be angry. It's the same type of reaction people had to "new Coke" or whatever.

Admittedly, Fiora's gameplay update is pretty nice, but people didn't like her old gameplay, did they? Maybe Riot should stick to only changing things their players aren't already satisfied with.

And 100% Agree with this.

DON'T FIX WHAT ISN'T BROKEN!

That is a life lesson/life rule i learned as a young kid. Seems some people in Riot must have missed out on that.

So has all of human history.

Seriously, the history of human advancement is just a series of people going, "Yeah, I mean, this works okay, but I wonder if I can figure out something that's even better."

So making things harder to see and clustering them up, along with not even mentioning where some of the features ended up, is "better"?

Sorry but i do not find this new HUD "better". It's more clustered, it still needs work and should not have been put in the game yet.

Skill icons are bigger yet the timers within them are smaller, the text for the shop i have trouble reading, putting our champ stats in a pull out tab, no FPS monitor, scoreboard is smaller and can hardly see the summoner spell timers for teammates(which was supposed to be a big new feature).

The other version was pretty simple. Never had anything to complain about with it. I honestly don't even like the look/theme of this one. Looks so tacky to me.

I didn't say it was specifically better. I stated simply that the intent of improving on what already exists was the clear rationale behind... well... every scientific advancement in history.

Which, you'll note, says exactly nothing about whether or not the results are actually improvements or not.

I'm not here to debate opinions - which is why I didn't offer mine.

I'm simply saying that if we followed that whole "don't fix what ain't broken" idea, this whole debate would be impossible, since we would never have had computers with which to have it.

Nobody really was upset about Gangplank's old splashes and models, and nobody minds the new one. It's probably better, as a more serious look makes more sense to the new lore.

This is just to be a smartass and make an exception.

With MF new spaghetti arms, and Fiora now being more ugly then poppy, and the HUD being trashed, its kinda sad.

I think the new HUD is actually fine, just needs some time to adjust to it.

What I can´t forgive them however is removing Zeke´s...gosh, just had an ARAM with 4 ad-champs, bought a kindlegem and then noticed that Zeke´s is no more -.-, but hey...AD-comps apparently have dominated the game for the last several years and needed the nerf, surly i just played in a parrallel-universe all that time.
