Sounds like someone needs glasses.

Frosted OtterJul 24, 20151 votes

Has nothing to do with glasses, its actually that bad.

ShaftyMegeeJul 24, 20152 votes

Not that many people know to get their eyes checked unless they go get them checked, just saying.

I find the new colors much better than the old ones. In my opinion it makes the numbers pop out more clearly even know it's smaller font

Be careful, with great signature come with greats responsibility. The amount of haters I have for using my signature are massive.

That's because it's not funny, it's just silly and for the other guy, he's just using an image

It's just an image that he posts to everything he comments on.

We're working on new fonts to increase readability for the HUD; should be on PBE shortly and to live after that.

RetillinJul 22, 201562 votes

Should this not have been done on the PBE in the first place? I saw/see the same complaints on the PBE forums about the new HUD. What's the point of the PBE if it is ignored like this?

iainB85Jul 22, 20155 votes

It would be nice if it worked that way. However, think of how many different moving pieces went out this patch.

It unfortunately looks like Riot was ready to push out everything else, so the HUD got shipped in a less-then-desirable manner.

The fact that they kept it completely out of ranked would back that theory up.

GorantharonJul 22, 201522 votes

Hud's half-baked at best and some seriously bad ideas went into it. Feels like designed by someone to make it look fancy, who had no idea about readability.

TheRainInSpainJul 23, 20156 votes

The PBE, like Boards, is a place for all the people that Riot doesn't want to listen to or respond to, to congregate so they can't muddy up the sekret LCS forum.

All MïghtJul 23, 20157 votes

This is exactly how I feel. There are so many comments/posts complaining and giving good advice about how the HUD needs a change and more updates to be more user friendly, but riot clearly has not listened to it's player base and decided to release it. There is legitimately no point and a complete waste to even release it onto the PBE if player responses are not listened to or put into consideration.

chriseritJul 23, 20154 votes

well to be real this time they didn't ignored the problem ... they noticed it and (apparently) they are working on it

the real question is: "why new HUD gone live if they knew there was this issue"

SeductiveGrandpaJul 23, 20152 votes

Well, in my opinion, with this whole HUGE BILGEWATER EVENT (HUUUUUUUGE...geez...thats fuckin big (nosarcasmhereimsrs)) they probably were just really wanted to excite the fans by giving us all these new things to be excited over so they probably released it a bit earlier than they should of. Makes sense now that I think of it, its like making a powerpoint and realizing you need to show it so you quickly finish all the main points and come back later to do some fine editing (sorry, my brain is kinda lacking today.)

Will we be able to move stuff around so it's in better positions?

They already pretty much said "no" to this question when they were discussing the new HUD when it first popped on the PBE.

It's not really the fonts that are the problem...it's the fact that the portraits are microscopic therefore all the info contained ON the portrait is ... submicroscopic.

I know, I know ... "You're just not used to it, trust us - you'll love it™ " ... but trust me, my eyesight isn't going to get magically better and playing on a 40" LCD isn't an option, either.

Gah, everything about the new hud sucks. It's impossible as a healer to see who needs healing now because the health bars are so freaking tiny. The general look and feeling is stole directly from the 80s. The only thing I like is the recall countdown. Also, when someone dcs it now takes forever to mouse over each person's name to figure out who it is that dced, compared to before just popping up the score screen and immediately seeing. Please riot, ditch the new UI.

LeeDarkJul 22, 201526 votes

I felt the same.

Kyle ImJul 22, 201517 votes

Yes i agree it is very blurry and hard to see. especially the champion stats. Also when i press tab, everything is very blurry. Please make it more sleek and smooth for people with bigger screen resolution!

warsabersoJul 22, 201515 votes

The new interface is horrible. In the old one, everything was nicely spread over the edges of the screen, all information was visible and clear. Now, they crammed everything into the bottom right corner, made numbers and letters barely readable with a microscope and screwed around with shading and light effects, which is just a horrible thing to do. The primary goal of an interface is to make necessary information easily accessible, not to be aesthetically pleasing. A friend of mine, who's been playing League ever since it existed, said he uninstalled the game just because he finds the new interface is so horribly chaotic and useless.

Let's just hope Rito will realize this soon and summoner 11 that artist who designed the interface.

ChessburgerJul 22, 20158 votes

If there's no option to customize it or change it back to the old one I'm uninstalling as well. Not even kidding, of all the crap they pulled over the last 5 years this is the worst by far. It makes the game completely unplayable. I don't need an overload of information in one corner and skills the size of my feet covering up 1/6 of my vertical screen, while simultaneously being so badly designed that even though it's so big I STILL DON'T HAVE CLARITY OF SPELL COOLDOWNS.

And the pinging noises. Oh, my, Frog.

Uninstalling because of changed interface which will be likely fixed soon anyway. Smart as hell.

I scaled the HUD down as small as it would go to prevent it from obscuring my view and I still have no issues reading it. The only problem I have with the current set-up is something unrelated to the HUD, the announcer. Like someone else said, it makes it so I have no clue what's going on at times unless I'm looking at the top of the screen when the announcements show up there.

As far as the HUD is concerned, although it's taking some getting used to, and it's not perfect, I still feel there's more good than bad.

One glance at the bottom right hand corner and you know: 1.) Who's alive on both teams. 2.) Who has ult, and approximately when those who don't will. 3.) Your CS and KDA. 4.) The team scores.
You can order the pop-up scoreboard any way you wish, making it easy to compare ADC to ADC, support to support, etc.
You know when your teammates have their summoners up.

I'm willing to put up with some minor problems for all of that.

Played since Beta, The new Hud Has made me hate playing. Im not coming back till its changed or an opt out option. And ive never posted on the forums and never complained about the game until this.

School of CornJul 23, 20159 votes

I feel violated for putting hundreds and hundreds of hours into this game and then getting completely rammed in the butt by an update that makes no sense.

I am done.

You all have fun and good luck with the new retarded update that feels like im playing a low-grade lego game.

Absolutely the worst thing I have ever experienced in my entire life.

Solari FortuneJul 22, 20158 votes

The Stat numbers seem about the same size as the old HUD. I can read them fine, maybe up the size of your HUD would help a bit?

can you see spell vamp? life steal? Total health regen? Mana regen? They sacrificed a ton of stats for this HUD its kinda annoying they didn't keep the other stats as well

For additional stats that we didn't show before (including all the ones you listed above) hold down CTRL+C for them.

RetillinJul 22, 201542 votes

So we have to know a way to see them that is not expressed through the game its self? What's next, I have to know special commands to know when towers lose their bonus armour? Riot makes a very big deal about "transparency" and "hidden power". This is 180 degree from that...

DrCyanideJul 22, 201513 votes

You had to either click the button that didn't look like a button (character portrait) or press C for those stats before. Is it really that different?

RetillinJul 22, 201510 votes

What's easier? Clicking on your character portrait (kinda intuitive) or knowing a command that isn't expressed in any place for the casual player to find?

YossarianSenseiJul 23, 20158 votes

Why's changing stuff that wasn't broken in the first place?

How about devoting that man-power to fixing things that actually are broken, instead of these terrible 'flavor' updates?

zFlash96Jul 23, 20158 votes

Riot managed to make their HUD as bad as dota2's. Didn't know that was even possible.

The old HUD was far superior to this crap.

Krusti3Jul 23, 20156 votes

I'm with the majority of other players on here in asking for an option to revert to the old UI. We've spent the last 5 years of this game with relatively the same lay out for where everything important that we need to be was placed and now it's completely backwards. The game time is where the stats used to be, The minimap is completely cluttered with everything that you dont need to see when you're looking in the corner and trying to see what my AD or AP is was overly complicated until I learned there was a button to display it. Even then the over all look is atrocious and distracting. It doesn't add anything to my gameplay and in fact actually made it worse. I spent too much time looking for what I needed to know that I missed out on half the game and ended up having a genuinely bad time. Im not going to go so far as to say remove it as maybe 10-15% of the people out there liked it. But even if you keep the new graphics and revert to the old lay out it would at least be a step in the right direction.

The game has been ruined in a single update.

I am in f'ng shock. complete shock.

RIOT PLS!!!!!!!! BRING THE OLD HUD BACK!!!!! YOU REALLY DONT HAVE TO RUIN YOUR VERY ONLY GAME!!!!!

MaldalornJul 23, 20155 votes

uhhh ...the new UI removed stats...didnt it? I couldnt tell if we were winning or loosing. i looked around but didnt see any stats. I did see some green lights on mini portrats waaaaaaayyyy oooooooveer in the bottom right corner ..is that my teammates alive or dead status? or their ping connection? I wasn't sure and i only noticed it briefly as i was focusing on the fight....in the middle of the screen...you know...where stats used to be.

I didnt know my team/stats untill after the game when we got to the after match lobby.

Boomer BlitzJul 23, 20155 votes

GIVE US AN OPTION TO USE THE OLD HUD PLEASE, thus hud is giving my wife headaches when she plays

Frosted OtterJul 23, 20155 votes

I feel like if Riot did subtle changes over 3 patches slowly changing the hub, then people wouldn't notice as much. This drastic change in a short period of time is confusing and the new hub lacks clarity.

JassiJul 23, 20154 votes

Been losing every game plus i get headache after playing a game. The background guy is soo annoying when someones dies. Plus his voice makes me sick. I cant see crap what is going on in game.

I'm visually impaired and color blind and it's very hard to see anything relevant now, I used to see everything well in the old HUD.

But the biggest problems with the new one for me are death timers since the dark color gets confused on top of the portraits (and it actually makes it hard to see who is currently dead too..) and the ult icon for the team members... can't tell if they have it or not yet... should have a more contrasting or brighter color
