Am I the only one who still prefers to see this:

I rather preferred to know a champion's attribute rather than knowing how much CC he has. Plus, the bar graph of the champion's power is a lot more easier to look at.

Goblet... what the heck is a Goblet stat? How many item 3028 or item 3174 someone can buy?

Crossed Swords is an icon that's been used for Kills, so I guess that fits Darius, he can get pentakills pretty OK.

Shield for defense, boots for speed, and spiral for confusion (CC in general) are OK to me, but those other two just don't read nicely.

Yeah, the circle design looks worse than a bar chart. I suspect it was intended to make it easier to compare two champions (and it might do that), but it's harder to read at a glance.

Also, why is Darius somewhere in between Axe Swinging and Spell Throwing? I read that as Physical Damage vs Magic Damage at first, with him being in the middle, and was thinking "that's not right, Darius doesn't have AP scaling", so I can only assume it is trying to indicate castors vs auto attackers. The symbols could use a lot of help...

Its how a champion dishes out damage.

One is spells, the other is autos.

They're literally the icons for "Attack Speed" and "Ability Power" used in game. It's bad design for them to re-use the icon but alter the meaning.

It means he's mid ranged I thought...

I somewhat agree. I like that they are trying to quantify stuff other than raw stats, but the circle graph is just confusing. I can't read that at a glance like I could the bar graph.
