http://i.imgur.com/dgZFGLj.jpg Alright guys so i just found this. This looks much more amazing, much more spread out, and much easier to read in the heats of battle. P.S. I take no credit for this for i didn't make it. @Riot please change back to this.

Well, not all the problems.

The fine print in a contract is in bigger font than the HUD.

Too bad they'll never do this because they don't give a FUCK about the community's best interests.

Let me remind you that they're slowly tearing the community of these boards apart, a common meeting ground for players all over the North American continent.

Meanwhile, they refuse to give East Coast players a fucking functioning server so that we don't have to suffer with constant 100ms latencies. It's hard to even be competitive when the other side of the country doesn't have any delay.

Don't get your hopes up, because Riot has not only proven their incompetence in player relations but they have proven their general incompetence in the video gaming industry.

This game could be a triple-A title, but they'd rather dump all of their money into LC$ and useless fucking All-Chat videos instead of dealing with real issues that the community have been asking for solutions to. And the sad part? They will continue to do this until another company makes an enjoyable alternative (right now, Dota 2 and HotS feel too different to be considred "alternatives" to League, Infinite Crisis and Dawngate tried to accomplish this but ayy shut down because they can't get funding as Riot has completely monopolized on the genre and starved all indie developers striving to push out their MOBA games)

Riot has continually gone downhill with their policies and management since Season 1, and will continue to do so. I'll be happy when this company chokes itself, maybe then other developers will be able to actually promote and sell their games.

This is what happens when you sell your soul to the communist Chinese profit-mongers.

the only reason he has multiple accounts(if he has really been around since season one) is because he has most likely been permabanned. look at his profile and his comments. some of the most toxic crap i have ever seen

I'd say it probably has more to do with how angry you are at the slew of random people. bans are never about one thing, they're about lots of things over a series of time.

You should try being nice to your fellow man, you'll probably see improvements in your day to day life.

Nice threats. Good thing I haven't been chat restricted or banned on my main account since February last year.

It was nice talking to you kid, but I have better things to do with my life than talk to salty children on these Boards.

Have a good one kiddo.

macromite6 votes

which is funny because you said you were on since season one, and that implies you've been banned before february of last year. Little tip, if you were ever banned before tribunal was removed, it's you, not everyone else. there are only two things that are salty here, my chips, and you.

Except the issue of having to look all over the screen for information would come back. This not looking very good in the first place either.

Problem being that this was never an issue. All the information being crammed into one little corner is such a massive clusterfuck that its practically useless at the moment.

Spreading out the HUD allowed IMPORTANT elements to be larger and focused on as needed, as well as easier to discern at a glance. When everything is crammed together, more focus is required to be removed from the game and spent focusing on the HUD to ensure that the proper information is gathered-- its useless.

Cluttered is bad yes, the current font is not there best, with some tweaks and feed back it will be more readable, keeping everything scattered amongst the screen is in fact a problem, and League has had it's interface criticized for stuff like this.

In the midst of gameplay your eyes can't wander back and forth to find information, simply having to look down briefly helps this. Keeping information surrounding the minimap can force people to look at the map more and fix some tunnel vision issues.

In the midst of combat I can't even begin to understand the 150 hud elements they jammed into one corner right now. Bullcrap you couldn't see your whole hud before, and bullcrap forcing everybody to look down toward the minimap accomplishes anything. It'll just tunnelvision them further because now they're staring at this super cluttered HUD corner instead of even remotely trying to play the game. That, or they'll ignore it more easily now that its all in one place, and it'll just make tunnelvisioning worse anyways. Tunnelvision is a completely different problem, its people being bad at the game. The HUD doesn't need to address that, its a skill players need to work on.

Maybe with time you will? Ever think of that? Just give it time. Respond in like a month or two.

Alright. Yeah, that'll help.

I'm not having problems looking in the wrong place or anything. Everything about this new layout is disgusting. From the abilities flashing blue (THE OOM COLOR) when they refresh, to important things being too small, to nonimportant things monopolizing precious screen space... Listen. Nostalgia is NOT playing a part in this. Neither is muscle memory. I can adjust just fine, I play all sorts of games and MOBAs-- They have seriously screwed this layout up. There are many things fundamentally wrong with this new HUD. If they fix them, fine. But, until my abilities stop flashing blue every time I use them, until the champion portraits for allies are bigger, until the font is readable without squinting-- this HUD is not worth even considering.

I do not need to "give this time." There are glaring issues. I'm not going to wait around because it isn't going to fix those problems. Playing isn't going to magically make them go away.

I can play as many strawman arguments as you can. I think you're a hipster who likes going against the crowd, and will only like this HUD until other people like it, then you'll whine for the old one because its retro. Do I have any foundation for this whatsoever? Well. I have about the same foundation as you do for you accusations. As you, yourself said in more colorful terms, I don't care about your opinion.

Riot, I NEED the option to have my items on the left side. Having played with that setup for over 4 years, I am now being completely screwed over by the new HUD. This goes way beyond me being able to just "get used to it" because in the meantime, I can feel my skill level deteriorating as a ton of critical information is now absent from the location I expect to see it in. PLEASE give us the option to control where the item block appears in the HUD.

The old HUD being spread out is actually the reason why they changed it. You're supposed to see all the stats without having to scan through the whole screen. If you need to look at your cooldowns, you had to look at the bottom and then to the left for your active items. Now, you just need to look at the bottom. If you want to know about anything game-related, you had to look at the minimap, but also to the top right and to the left. Now you just look at the bottom right (and Tab).

Just give it time, you'll learn to see everything all at once. You're currently just overwhelmed by all the information at one spot, but it's really better this way. It's easier to process clustered information than when it's spread out.

The only thing that could be improved is the fact that allied summoners and allied ult timers shown on 2 seperate places. This is because with the initial version of the new HUD these things didn't exist yet, but they added it based on feedback in the places where they could easily add them: AKA where the symbols already were.

Blastires3 votes

it makes sense but.....peripheral vision...you don't need to stop looking at the middle if you are looking on the left because this is how our eyes works. If you want to see your friend hp, you don't just "stop looking in the middle to look at the left" you are spreading your vision or something like that. You don't see clearly what's on the left, but you see the important detail while still playing. Ally hp bar is red? Shen ult time. Now the new character icon are so small it's hard to notice fast enough, but I do agree the new location kinda makes more sense. I just wish it would be less small.

When there is a HUGE amount of information to look at (like the actual stat thing) looking in periphery simply won't work. You have to REALLY take time and look down.

But yeah, let's take at least one month to see if it works. I don't really hate the new hud, but I think it could be so much better.

Give me a slider to make the champion portraits on the left bigger and I'm quite content with it.

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly what I had in mind. I'm okay with the new designs, I'm not okay with the placement of them, though. If it was truly like that with the new design but in the old format, I would be 100% okay with it.

It's good, except I liked my stats window coming out of my character pane (made more sense, and centralized it more), and I like my team mates being over the mini map instead of way out left field where nothing else is.
