It does take some getting used to, especially the teammate portraits which have been on the left side forever. My gripe tho is that they've removed the detailed champ screen (to my knowledge, I haven't beent able to find it so far) so you can't see some of the other stats that might interest you like penetrations or lifesteals.

The new HUD is not cluttered. It's denser, because having champion icons where you're trying to cast a skill was obnoxious as hell. I actually like the new HUD because it seems like Riot took great pains to get everything possible out of the bottom left/top right, which is generally the axis combat is taking place on. I'm actually somewhat bothered they caved to the endless bitching from people who just complained because it was new and moved the scores back to the top right, because that's less prime screen-real estate available for my viewing pleasure.

You can view the important part of your stats by clicking the little button in the bottom left corner of your champ portrait, and then you have to hold down C to view the extra stats like pen.

[UXLZ]

Yeah, I liked it once I got used to it.  I mean, with the old interface I had to scale it down to like 20% or something and I still felt it got in the way some times.

[Arcvasti]

My only real gripe with the new interface is its harder now to use abilities on champ portraits as quickly since they're now slightly smaller and in a less obvious place. At least a few allies have gotten slain because I couldn't Shen or Soraka ult them quickly enough.

[UXLZ]

Huh, I've found them easier to hit since they're next to the minimap (which you should be paying attention to anyway.) Maybe I've got a bigger screen or something.

[frostshotgg]

*cough cough* There's a hotkey for targeting allied champions with stuff like Shen ult. F2-5 I think?

[UXLZ]

Well, you could probably set it up that way at least. I knew there was a hotkey for targeting self (Alt+Ability) and I think there was a hotkey for targeting the nearest ally (unsure about this one) and there's a hotkey for not targeting non-champions (hold down `) but I didn't know there was one for specific allied champions.

[Jopax]

Yeah, F2-F5 is jump to said ally hotkey, which when combined with a cast makes it a cast on that ally combo. Does take some practice to remember who is which number, and I'm not sure if reordering them in the score screen changes their respective hotkeys.

I'm finally starting to pick up Darius again, and I remember why I liked him originally: pooping on Riven and Teemo in lane.

I'm playing Yasuo nowadays. It's pretty fun, even though I get rekt by everyone.

[Jopax]

I'm mainly abusing Yi in the jungle. And every time someone cries that he's shit and useless. And every time I do stupidly well, I have about 70% wins with him. Heck, the other day, we managed to win a 4v5 where our ADC was afk the entire game. We just had Malph or Janna knock them up, I'd charge in and wipe everyone, it was glorious

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, Yi's my main man. He's a soloQ god in lower divisions because nobody knows how to counterpick.

[Cthulhu]

It was the same way with Malzahar.  Counterplay first assumes that everyone is playing optimally and then that people even bother to do it.  Malzahar isn't countered by QSS if nobody buys it.

[frostshotgg]

Malzahar counters himself by having the single worst mage ult in context in the game.

I'm only around Silver right now, but I find that:
a.) nobody in Silver- ever buys QSS, even if it's absolutely the best pick
and b.) if someone does buy QSS, they don't use it effectively.

I fall under B I'm terrible enough at remembering active items, but getting better.
