A comparison picture with "High" and "Low" graphic

As someone who loves League, I was initially worried when I saw the VU. Okay I was ecstatic at first, but I wanted to be able to play it still. I play League with the lowest settings because:

• I play League on a laptop.
• It's not the latest laptop either, and it has other stuff on it.
• My internet connection isn't the best, and too much activity from my family eats bandwidth.

So in other words, I want Riot to do the best they can for us by updating the Rift, but I want to be able to participate in it and see their marvelous gift, even on low settings.

Its totally reasonable for Riot to be making the game more accessible in lower end hardware but all this effort into going into one direction is really out shadowing the other side, and being a better than average computer user makes me disappointed to hear so much about low end optimization and not so much about high end graphical fidelity.

I understand that this is mostly about optimization but maybe a commentator mode with some sparkly overdone particle effects would be ridiculous and have that little bit more appeal to broaden the audience exponentially but you know, that might be just me.

These are screenshots of differences using the slider settings on very low.

are the minions blue and red on the vu or is that just in colorblind mode?

I too would like to see this. I am very disappointed with the level that the current graphics go to, I get that they are trying to make the game playable on low end hardware but I want to see more scalability, possibly adding an ultra setting or something. As it is right now the shadows on maximum settings are still blocky, there is no reason for that. Low end people can turn them off entirely if required. I also want to see how it works at ultra wide resolutions, the current game distorts (a FOV issue) and does not show animations for the stuff on the far sides.

my crappy computer cant run this lol

Yeah, I'd also like to see this. I'm not sure if they're there yet though.

Agreed. Maybe some other settings too, like with and without shadows?
