I've been reading some people on reddit discussing, on assassiny AP junglers, going Guise/Sorcs before getting Runeglaive. Thoughts?

So the norm before smite items existed?

Pick up at least the smite first, obviously.

It's probably preferred if you don't need the mana or clear speed. Probably great on Elise.

at least for Fizz, i think the Runeglaive nerfs ruined any assassin ap builds. no longer converting his Q to magic damage seems to take away a lot of the oomph that completing Runeglaive used to provide.

You guys are making me want to play a game just to see the new HUD.

But I'm fairly convinced from reading the thread and looking at pictures that I'll like it more than the old HUD and just think you're all crazy, so I'm not sure I'm going to bother.

It's from beta.

There's literally nothing good about that HUD.

yea that beta HUD is actually legit better. im trying to give the new one a chance with aram games but I cant even tell what my death timer, gold, opponents items are in a timely manner in a casual game, it just isnt gonna work for ranked. Takes way too long to look in those obscure places for such important info.

Your death timer and gold's on your portrait and at your items, same as ever......................

Opponents' items?

God, my brain hurts.

Yeah I'm having trouble with this.

This is what we're talking about right?

Looks pretty clear.

Maybe the numbers on the death timers could be a touch larger.

I think people are playing LoL on their phones or in 4:3 monitors from the 90s and are sad they can no longer see numbers when they don't take up most of the viewing area.

One thing I'm curious about is the decision to put score/ping/cs together with game-relevant components.

I always thought the decision to separate them in the top right was an intentional design decision. Since CS/score are already redundantly displayed on the scoreboard, doesn't it make more sense to segregate them from the other numbers on the screen which are more directly useful?

TBH I could see an argument for simply not displaying CS and score a second time on the UI, because it's not like you actually need to know your score any more often than you actually check your scoreboard for other reasons. Removing them entirely would reduce visual clutter. Though I guess that would be annoying for players who are relatively new and not yet in the habit of checking their scoreboard incessantly--but even then, it still probably makes sense to segregate them on the UI.

yea I play on a small monitor so what? doesnt mean riot can just say fuck you to a group of players and expect us to not complain. It's like not adding a wheelchair ramp to your restaurant because you dont employ any handicapped people. "oh sorry didnt see that arising because none of us have that problem"

Sorry dude, but a game company has to design their game around:

1. It can be played by the majority of "gaming computers"

and

2. It doesn't look like shit so people on the higher end of that majority will be willing to play/watch it

By running a 4:3 monitor, you're running a serious bottleneck on what companies expect the generic player to have.

so I want to talk about.... zeke's harbringer. everyone's like omg ADC item. but on shit like rengar? holy cow he just trucks everyone.

Bringing flashbacks of sword of divinity.

The more I read/use the new ardent censor and zeke's harbringer, the stronger these items seem.

like ardent censor + locket = teamwide 6 seconds of +30dmg on hit. that is really, really strong

I run League in a 720p window, usually. Can read everything just fine.

If your monitor is smaller/lower resolution than that, a) how do you live, b) please buy a new monitor.

I guess it depends on what monitor you're using and how old it is. I eventually had to get an HDTV because my old CRT literally wouldn't let me read text in pretty much any game. (Think I played the first half of Mass Effect 2 staring at a wall of squigly lines.). I'd prob need to know more about your moniter and your set up.
