Will there be an option to enable numbers above health bars on the monsters/minions/champions?

-like baron's health

I would love this. I want to be able to perfectly smite without clicking on the monster and looking at its health in the upper left. Riot PLEASE.

Pefect smites IMO are fine on Dragon and Baron, but when it comes to things like blue buff and red buff...idk. Maybe

Honestly, while this would be helpful to some people, you also have to think about how it could be detrimental. That would be a lot of computer usage just to take the skill out of things (last hitting, smiting, etc). Plus, if you had health over baron, and weren't a higher level than the enemy jungler, they could easily steal it because they would see when it is at the appropriate health. You can, however, click the thing you want to kill to see its health. It's not that hard people...

Being able to manage harassment and positioning while last hitting requires significantly more skill than just getting the kill. Similarly - the skill in smiting has very little to do with just checking baron's health, unless the people you're playing against are handling the situation really poorly. The skill is in anticipating how much burst the enemy has and when they're going to use it all - if you're not good at smiting, being able to see the number won't help you at all. It'll just go from 2000 to 0 before you can react.

Also, I don't think the skill of managing an inconvenient UI is necessarily something that's good for the game, or particularly desirable as a prerequisite for playing.

Left clicking on a minion should cause it to show a numbered health bar above it's head. I think that would be cool.

I think it's a great idea, also if you want to get better at jungle. I know it’s possible just to click on the neutral monsters and see the health, but this idea will save me some time from looking at the minimap and the world. I think I struggle enough already and trying to learn to Jungle.

Also, maybe make it possible to change the names above the heal bars, so instead of names of the players, the champion names. It will help a lot in a team fight.
