1. Mini Map Pings are unnoticeable
Impose something that is easier to see, for example a ripple effect

2. Loading Screen is not aesthetic
Put a nice loading background screen and show only heroes icon instead of their entire model to cut down space needed

3. Creeps being too colorful
Dull the colors for the creeps so that players can easily identify enemy creeps and ally creeps. Have 2 distinct colors for each side.

4. Too difficult to identify Players and their heroes
Implement different colors for each player/hero

5. Kill/Death/Assist Info hard to see
Need a small table that shows these 3 stats in-game on the top right

[Edit] Need a small table that only shows these 3 stats for all players in the top right, instead of a huge detail box in the middle of the screen messing up with visibility. Players should have the option to view a lite version of kills/death/assist for all players instead of seeing so much info

Just some of my suggestions, thanks

1. I agree. I hear the ping, but then I have to hunt for the !. Larger concentric circles that zoom in on the ! for a few seconds would help.


2. Again, I agree, for the most part, but it's a loading screen. I don't think it has to be totally awesome. I do wish it would be shorter though... When the loading screen comes up, I'm ready in about 3 seconds. I generally have to wait 30 seconds for others to be "ready". After everyone is ready, there's generally another 30 seconds wait before the game actually starts. I know a minute isn't a huge deal, but it feels eternal when you just watch bars not move. Maybe do a Pacman-esque loading screen. Have Rammus chasing Annie across the screen one way, then have him come the other way in ball form being chased by Tibbers and Annie.

3. Red and blue aren't distinctive enough? I'd prefer different models for each side.

4. I have troubles linking heros with users. Someone says "Help me" and you have no idea which way to go because you don't know who is requesting. Chat needs to be " 2drk4u [Ryze] : Help me "

5. It's already there, unless I have no idea what you're talking about.

I really love the new colors, they were much harder to differentiate before this patch.

I've thought it would be nice to see it on the game map, too. Perhaps it does this but I've missed it, but for example if everyone is in the same area and someone marks the brush off to the side, it'll ping on the minimap but I don't know what exactly they're pinging unless it's a champion. Perhaps if it's on the ground a small semi-transparant flag could be place, with concentric rings radiating from it?

LOL I like that idea! A bit overkill, but amusing. I'd settle for the ability to chat with teammates while the others that are still loading, load.

A great suggestion, too. Seems like people often refer to the champions rather than the users. E.g. "Annie, go bot" rather than "toonslayer go bot". Your suggestion would help put the two together.

Somewhat related, I'd like to see the two teams have different global chat colors. Often I see someone chat and wonder "is that guy on my team or the other?" since I almost exclusively play random games. I confess I have to check the scoreboard to verify. So anyway, make your own team's global chat blue or even a different color of green.

It is still very hard to differentiate (no i am not colorblind). It gets worst during huge clash when u just suddenly lost where your hero is in the crowd with the creeps

1. I'd suggest to maybe implement a color differentionaion between heroes... Cause when peron pins on the minimap it always goes one color and you don't know who was showing that target...
So if you'd make each player different color or shim then would be way eaiser...

Also icons with charecters in minimap are hardly seen, I never can undersatnd who is playing where, I alwyas have to go and select person to see who it is.. So pls make it more obviues... aka get colors, maybe instead of having eveone in green circle make it the color of cirvle different? at least?

And therefore when you press tab it will show their color too.. so you know who's playing what color...

Also colors (taken from dota) should be different, one hsould be bright and other sshould be dark.
Or wamr vs cold colors:

red
pink
oragne
yellow
birght green



gray
brown
dark green
purple
blue

I also think that there should be different models for the creeps of each side. The idfferent colored life bars are nice, but in big battles you get confused on which are your allied creeps and which are enemies.
