The LoL Patches thread

Wat

It's really early for that sort of thing, so it isn't final. I seriously think whoever posts this stuff should state what stage of development it is in, if possible. As someone that's starting up game dev as a potential career, I've learned that there's many things that don't see the light of day. And it is as Riot says, don't give false expectations to things that aren't final.

Don't rush to any crazy conclusions though, RiotChris was quick to hop on reddit and shine some light on this one:

"Yes – this is a work in progress that is too early to be shown; we’ll start an AMA thread later with an artist to explain where this is, what’s going on, and use this as a chance to gather your constructive feedback" -

Also, added the surrenderat20 blog website, because apparently no one can resist leaks.

And the Garen buffs don't stop there, his Q can crit now!

They even have an AMA on Reddit now.

Oh yeah. I think that was what I meant on Reddit, not the E.

Also, here's an official Riot picture of what the new UI currently looks like.



Compare that to the first screenshot we had:



Looks a lot better. I think the guy who datamined it and implemented it screwed up, and that's why it looks so terrible.

I like it, it looks good.
and the gaps make it (slightly) easier to see enemy champs on the bottom of the screen. Which i always couldn't stand when playing on the purple team.

I think it looks nice, and I'll definitely get used to it eventually, but in my opinion it looks too Dota/HoN for LoL. :/

You can take off the wall thing in the UI by going to "More Options" and then checking "Hide Center HUD."

Dissapointing to see that they still don't use the summoner spells/ultimates up UI thingie from spectator mode. Would be so helpful when deciding to teamfight or gank a lane or something.

That would be a bit excessive I think.

That's somewhat questionable IMHO. It'll lead to heightened expectations from players, and massive disappointment if the certain big/new feature didn't become reality (or missed expectations). I mean, the previous stealth rework project is a textbook example where devs - whom provided the development stages details to players - had to eat their words because the project didn't go the way it was intended, which led to massive disappointment due to heightened expectations. And of course, a bit of miscommunication thrown in there too.

Most leaks have been from projects that were close to being released. This one is not, and it's even been stated that it's in early development. I have no idea what you're talking about.

I did not know that! thanks a lot!

Oh good, a fix so I can actually use Fox UI now. The thing that showed the stats of the selected thing is located between where our minimap and HP/MP/skills are now, and it was completely blocked off by that wall thing. Made it impossible to smite effectively since I couldn't see the health of what I was smiting.

Looked up fox ui, and it looks sexy, I'm gonna look up how to use it. c:

There's a video of how to use it on YouTube if you haven't found it already.

Pool Party Ziggs and Astronaut Nautilus - two skins conceptualized by the community - shows up on PBE

This is how I felt when I saw that news...somehow

I've been asking why Astro-Naut isn't a thing for weeks now.

It's right there in the name, man.

Correct me if I'm wrong but they said "these are the same things we did in the hotfix"
