Kerning??

Ok myself and a couple of my friends that play are graphic designers. We noticed In the loading screen the kerning in the type face for the characters names is really bad. I don't think people really care or notice it but to us it stands out soo bad. Teemo's kerning by far is the worst of them all. "Te emo" thats what it looks like.

You are just evil. Pointing out bad kerning is an awful thing to do. I am going to flinch every time I see that now. Thanks.

Yep, I've noticed it too. It's been like that for so long, I actually forgot about it.

I don't think I'm evil for pointing it out. A designer should notice things like that and plus my friends voted me to post about it. If I was the designer and played this game I would get anxiety knowing I used a bad typeface like that. When I was going to school for design my teacher would beat us on kerning lol.

The Teemo kerning is so bad, and obviously custom, that I'm pretty sure it's intentional. Some kind of inside joke, I figure.

Maybe a reference to "te amo", which means "I love you" in most Spanish dialects?

And it isn't just Teemo, saw a summoner with "Ten" in his name and it was Te n.

And it is so easy to fix ... just change the blinking typeface!
