In recent years, one thing that has frustrated League of Legends players is that the game’s interface is often buggy, with extremely slow processing speeds. This issue became so severe that Riot Games had to publicly acknowledge it and promised to make corrections. Indeed, after a major update a few years ago, the League of Legends interface became a bit smoother, but the bugs still persist, leaving players extremely frustrated.
However, one thing that very few players remember is that Riot Games once created an incredibly beautiful version of the League of Legends interface in 2016, which was announced publicly. In this new interface, the animations when accepting a match and selecting champions were executed very smoothly. When entering the banning and picking phase, every detail, every small animation when you click on a champion was presented in a very polished manner.
Even in this “new” interface, the visual presentation changed very subtly every time players entered the banning or picking phase. This helped gamers focus on the game even before it started.
Unfortunately, as mentioned above, this interface from Riot was merely a beautiful test version. In reality, players still had to use an outdated, old interface filled with annoying bugs over the past few years. This has further fueled discontent among League of Legends players as they feel Riot has seemingly neglected the game’s interface, which is always present alongside League of Legends.
Many people will soon ask why Riot has not implemented this upgraded version? It may be that there were technical issues preventing Riot from bringing it to the official servers. It could also be that Riot thinks the cost of implementing it is too high, which led them to abandon it.
Indeed, the aforementioned upgraded interface has left League of Legends players with many regrets, as this game could have been much better than it currently is. We hope that Riot will restart this project so that League of Legends can possess a good interface and, most importantly, no longer encounter as many bugs as it does now.
