Increase mini map size MOD

I needed help with map awareness and decided the mini map was too small to get my attention 100% of the time. Things may change when the new hud is released...so sorry that im a little late guys.

Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\solutions\lol_game_client_sln\releases\0.0.1.95\deploy\DATA\menu\hud

edit the file corresponding to your desired resolution

i.e hud1600x900.ini

find MinimapScale=1.0000

and edit the first decimal point. i found 1.5-1.65 to be enough. when you go higher than 1.x it gets a bit silly :P

you have to modify this before you start a match. so edit and save the file then start a custom to tweak it where you want it.

If you change the minimap scale in game afterward it will undo everything back to normal and you will have to edit the file again before your next match if you want it back.

side note:

to hide chat or make it much smaller go to - Riot Games\League of Legends\Config

edit the game.cfg

change the ChatScale= value to whatever you desire.

ChatScale=-100 will make it dissapear. you can still chat, so be wary of pressing enter by mistake..you will be typing instead of casting spells

Do you have to do this before you start a match or during a game? And is this illegal?

It's not cheating, if thats what youre asking. Some would say its an unfair advantage, but no one would argue that corrective lenses or gunnar glasses are cheating or somehow unfair. Its "accessibility" if its too small for you to make it out clearly you should be able to adjust it. You are giving up game screen real estate in the process so its a fair trade off.

You can start up the client and log in, but before you load into a match the adjustment has to be made then. you can not make the changes during the game outside of the given slider. You can still use the slider of course, even after making the modification, but once you do all the defaults are restored and you have to edit the file post/pre game again.
