New Profile Layout (Complaints + Solutions)
There's a new profile layout in town, but it just doesn't look right...
Honor level, something that you can't even view on other players, should not be front and center. It worked on the side, because that was non-intrusive. The issue here is that putting the single champion in the middle just looks wrong, and looks best on the side. Here are some solutions I have come up with to improve the layout.
Other layout options:
-
Base scenario: [Slot 1] - Champ, [Slot 2] - Honor, [Slot 3] - Rank, [Slot 4] - Trophy Your eyes have to go all over the place and an unimportant icon is in the center (honor), there is no flow to it.
-
Scenario 2 (Green): [Slot 1] - Honor, [Slot 2] - Champ, [Slot 3] - Rank, [Slot 4] - Trophy Less important information is to the side, champion and rank are in the center. Flows better visually, however the single champion in the middle, as well as the rank, feels unnatural.
-
Scenario 3 (Red): [Slot 1] - Champ, [Slot 2] - Rank, [Slot 3] - Trophy, [Slot 4] - Honor Placement of champion icon feels better and more natural, less important information is to the side. Eyes only have to go to one spot for the necessary information. Location of rank doesn't seem right.
-
Scenario 4 (Blue): [Slot 1] - Champ, [Slot 2] - Honor, [Slot 3] - Trophy, [Slot 4] - Rank Rank is in a familiar spot, champ location doesn't feel wrong, however the honor (that you can't see), is in the center again.
-
Scenario 5: [Slot 1] - Champ, [Slot 2] - Trophy, [Slot 3] - Rank, [Slot 4] - Honor Honor is out of the way, making it so the icons aren't interrupted by an empty gray one. Champion location isn't in a strange feeling spot. Rank feels familiar, as the grayed out honor next to it makes it feel as if it's back on the edge like it used to be. Trophy is placed in a way where it will continue the flow if you have one (which is better than just having gray breaking up the rank and champion). The ones you can see are kept together, rather than interrupted by the honor icon.
-
Scenario 6: [Slot 1] - Champ, [Slot 2] - Rank, [Slot 3] - Honor, [Slot 4] - Trophy Still flows visually, and won't be interrupted by a lack of a trophy, as it is separated from the important information by the invisible honor level. Doesn't flow as well on personal profile page, but does fine on others.
TL;DR: Please try shuffling up the location of icons on the profile (and move the damn honor), the current one just doesn't flow very well. (I'd give 5 or 6 a shot).
