I hope this could be considered, with the client update

Redditor "TheStormsFury" made a "revamp" of the abilities HUD. It was made so it could sync well with the new HUD (something Riot forgot to update with the HUD)

Here are a few examples from him:

Basic ability HUD https://i.imgur.com/R8YLUCg.png

Ability level up HUD https://i.imgur.com/7mueI2L.png

Example on Ekko https://i.imgur.com/iAbDeFd.png

This is darn good and I would do anything to get this updated to sync with the HUD. Consider this the best examples there is Riot.

This is beautiful! I love seeing things like this, it really shows how much room there is for the game to grow.

CheekynorthMay 28, 201621 votes

Please

This makes it so much easier to understand what I'm getting with each level up on abilities and why it's worth getting it

I don't even care about that as much as not having to either do stupid math or go to a third party website to find out what my scalings are. Is it Bonus or Total AD? What is the scaling %? I can't know any of these things in the current system.

Chad ChadlainnMay 28, 201613 votes

This is actually a very good idea! I wholeheartedly support the addition of this. Perhaps there could be a way to turn it on/off, too? Because I could see someone trying to say that it may prove to be too complicated for new players. An interface option? Either way, this would be very cool.

Also add the full damage dealt for abilities done as DOT.

E.g.

Hemmorhage: Darius's basic attacks and damaging abilities cause enemies to bleed for 27 (X) physical damage over 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.

NEW: Darius's basic attacks and damaging abilities cause enemies to bleed for 27 (+X) physical damage over 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. Maximum damage: 135 (+X) physical damage.

That might be too much information on one small window, and can be overwhelming for new players.

Especially if you want to go into full details of... certain full paragraph abilities... Graves Jhin

Yeah, with Riot's current passive for her on PBE.

NichtHurzMay 28, 20161 votes

But it also offers you more precise information and tells you how the ability scales with levels. Important things are highlighted and easy to make out. Of course there are quite long texts on some abilities, but you won't read them faster or lose alot of space. For anybody who knows the champ those informations are only something to look at from time to time (fast check damage/scaling, cooldown etc.), a new player will have to read those texts anyways and the bonus information + highlighting maybe allows him to adapt to the champion a little bit quicker. I think it's a good idea.

Dunkrius2gMay 29, 20161 votes

For those, you need a simplified version. My main complain is about DoTs that deals x damage per second, but it doesn't tell you how much max damage you deal. Champs that got similar treatment is Mundo;s ult.

Troll for TrumpMay 31, 20161 votes

How about a "view ability information thing" idk.

Blue Moon WolfMay 28, 20164 votes

Also, add an opacity option. I don't like dying cause i couldn't see a skill shot coming from under my HUD X(

SithesisLordMay 28, 20163 votes

Or do a pop in, pop out option like it is with Windows' task bar. Only pops up when you hover the cursor over it.

RikirieMay 28, 20163 votes

I am a fan of the yellow text, I find the white to be really hard to read at times.

Biff ManlyMay 28, 20162 votes

Maybe make this like the "extra stats" panel, where you have a key you can press to display the extra information, while only the basic info we have now appears normally.

AtanchanMay 28, 20162 votes

This is likely not going to be part of the client update as that's like considering bringing back some fish for dinner while doing some work in the middle of a desert, but whenever Riot does some more tinkering with the HUD I'd love to see this.

Velzard of KozMay 28, 20162 votes

Only one thing to perfection. I believe "leveling" ability is "slang". It should be properly called "ranking" so instead of "Level 1" it should be "Rank I". Since the Ranks are 1-5, ocasionally 6, I think even better aesthetically it would be to use Rank I Rank II Rank III Rank IV Rank V Rank VI or Maximum Rank in case it's maxed.

Other than that this is wonderful design.

LeetriMay 28, 20162 votes

Really like how it shows you how the ability scales rank 1-5 instead of only the next rank, it makes it a LOT easier to realize what ability you want to max first. It was one of my favourite things in Dota 2, really hope Riot will add something like that.

Dr PoroMay 28, 20162 votes

I like your lay out, but the font is very hard to read for me.

The ability to see how your abilities scale (without having to sit on a level-up) is very helpful.

Lydia in DoorwayMay 28, 20161 votes

Yes.

Pale PirateMay 28, 20161 votes

Im in for anything that makes huge ability descriptions easier to read.

Beautiful! Looks to provide a lot of clarity too. Do want.

it has been posted here before, i know that because i've seen it before and i dont use reddit

Sum Wun SpeshalMay 28, 20161 votes

The design looks really good and clean. They should only try to make the tooltip a little smaller to not take up too much space.

ArakadiaMay 28, 20161 votes

I'm torn. It looks cool, but I'm stuck in the past and dont want change xD

DJ S0NAMay 28, 20161 votes

I said that when the new HUD came, but to be honest, it looks cleaner and "lighter" and more arranged than the old HUD. There will always be changes in a game to go for the best (or worst).

ArakadiaMay 28, 20161 votes

Yup! I find it easier imho to read the current version, however the majority seems to like yours more. I really don't like change tho xD

Mana pots, moving item slots, and Quinn rework were some changes I weren't so happy about.

ElikainMay 28, 20161 votes

This looks pretty clean, to be honest. I hope that they update the tooltip design as well because this one seems more intuitive and actually very helpful in understanding how much damage, cost, CD or CC the skill does without ever having to remember it all together.

It might help some people understand what to level in certain situations, without having to resort to lol wikia in the middle of the game.

AheadatimeMay 28, 20161 votes

I like it, but I'd still want the ability's cooldown to be a different color from the rest of the text.

UPfreelyMay 28, 20161 votes

I really like the added information to the abilities. Current text styling/colors has better readability though. Combine them and you have a real winner though!

CastaneanMay 28, 20161 votes

It's beautiful, and so much easier to read! I want this to happen. Riot, I humbly request that you GET YOUR BOTTUM SIDES IN GEAR AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN. Please? It would be nice. And certainly appreciated.

Hire the man Riot!

RekkohaMay 28, 20161 votes

Holy, that looks so nice. Way smoother and sleek.

Onkel MalteMay 28, 20161 votes

PLS RITO

krazeeightMay 28, 20161 votes

Wow, even the simple rearrangement of stats on the tooltips there makes it sooo much easier to see what you're getting. Perhaps Riot could also allow us to flip your HUD vertically for when we are playing the game on red side?

TTK DreadnoughtMay 28, 20161 votes

why not just make it an option in the gameplay settings. not everyone wants large overlays like that. this way it can be the current version by default, and then have an advance version option for players who want it (like me)

Cheese PopeMay 28, 20161 votes

The client update doesn't touch the actual game, but great idea!

iamthegoatofwarMay 29, 20161 votes

oh oh oh also can I see how much damage I'm going to do total when I cast it? It's hard to describe what I mean, but the general idea of what I mean sounds fairly obvious like "total damage dealt to one target will be X"

SeekêrMay 29, 20161 votes

Maybe not the purple, makes it hard to see.

World EnderMay 29, 20161 votes

It is definitely nice, but the text is a bit hard to read.

Hay5eedMay 29, 20161 votes

Simply beautiful.

LynXerfMay 29, 20161 votes

This ultimately achieves greater clarity, which is one of the keywords Riot loves to bang on about. Yet this is a simple example of how to really improve the interface. You have a much better breakdown of the figures and a clearer indication of what the ability does and how it correlates to your stats.

Plus it looks a whole lot better.
