[Feedback] Summoner's Rift VU: Towers

eeVii·6/28/2014, 2:59:51 PM·3 votes·813 views

I've played quite a few games on the new SR map, and I love it. It's much cleaner, much more visible, I personally enjoy the new colors, etc.

My only issue as of yet, is how tall the new towers are. I play with locked camera on, and when I go to attack the tower in bottom lane for example (blue side), I can't see the health bar of the tower without having to unlock my screen. This isn't too much of a hassle, since I am constantly locking and unlocking, but usually when I'm under tower I'm fighting (at which point I don't unlock screen). I just want to be able to see the tower's health when I'm attacking it at range with an adc down at bottom lane. Right now I just have to guess what it's at. Maybe just pull the health bar down. This problem is not in the old SR Map.

TL;DR: Towers too tall, can't see tower's health when attacking it with adc bottom lane blue side. (locked screen)

As much as I want to say "Locked screen!? WUT!"

I will reserve my bias and so should the new layout of the map. If people enjoy playing on locked screens they shouldn't be further handicapped because of something like this and hopefully it will get sorted out before it goes live.

Hmm. I can't really believe that the towers health bar is invisible with locked screen. o.O

Do you have a screenshot?

Very interesting. I would be assuming this is more of a problem with ranged champions than melees. And usually I play with a locked screen (unless trying target someone with like a cait ult), so this could be a problem to me. But as a work around for now you could left click the tower to see its specific health bar. (As well as some interesting stuff a tower has)

I'm not actually in the beta so I don't know but looking at the videos of the beta they don't look that much taller than current towers, are you sure you're zoomed out completely?

You can left click on the tower you are attacking, that will allow you to see its health, even on locked screen.
