I'm not sure how putting relevant info next to the minimap is a problem.

Since most of the time you're looking at the minimap, and things like death and ult timers are directly related to map awareness and the reason why you look at the minimap, it makes sense that you only have to look in one place.

I don't understand why this hud is upsetting people.

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.

I played with the new HUD: it seems to me that penetration (flat or %) and critical chance are not displayed anywhere. It's frustrating.

Have you tried pressing C to see your character sheet? It is all displayed clear as day.

I think it's the mix of relevant and irrelevant information. Ping is not something you really care to be looking at all the time. Your own score isn't really practically useful for anything in and of itself, and CS is already something you're constantly looking at through the scoreboard. So the mix of relevant and irrelevant information feels cluttered.

ots probably a combination of three things. Density, size, and framing.

because the information is very close together you can't look quickly at an area of the screen and know what you're seeing. You ever notice how pros will hammer tab really fast when looking at the scoreboard? This is because it takes time to read the scoreboard due to the amount of info it has (this is why on streams riot orders the scoreboard info so it's easy to find players stats by their position). Players need to take time to see it but also need to see what they're doing. So they flash it a lot.

This has that problem constantly. Because everything is in the same place you have to look at it then figure out what you're looking at as you play which takes more time than if the info was in separate areas of the screen.

Compounding this is that because everything is in the same spot everything must be small. You can no longer look for the info in your peripheral vision. Whereas you could previously tell allied death timers and ultimates without really looking.

The third issue is that a lot of he info isn't framed well and so we don't have a reference to draw our eyes when searching. This is good when everything is cluttered but still not ideal.

I was gonna post my opinion but this probably isn't an appropriate place to elaborate on such a thing other than to say I think she is dressed appropriately.

You know what the biggest disappointment was for me this patch? When I first read the notes I thought that when MF activated her W she would get 5 seconds of guaranteed strut (the duration of the ability). Instead it just reactivates the passive upon casting after which is is removed again by any damage. I don't think it would have been OP but I am no game balance expert so who knows.

Yeah I'm having trouble with this.

+ Show Spoiler +

This is what we're talking about right?

Looks pretty clear.

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