5. Teamfight view instead is much clearer, it could be the default view instead of a temporary one. Riot has to think about which information is relevant to show depending on which device orientation is used, and adapt the overlay accordingly.

4. Riot has the metrics encouraging them to pursue vertical/mobile friendly layout, but there may a lot (too much?) information on screen, while still leaving out some key data (objective timers, champions stats, minimap...). It also forces the observer to consciously think of safe zones

Desert background feels a lot more immersive for sure!

3. The top scoreboard emphasizes the number of kills as the main metric, like how soccer would show goals. I believe this is an outdated way of showing the current game state, a team can still be ahead in gold, but down in kills, economy is much more accurate

Mockup concept of how the scoreboard for the spectator UI of League of Legends could look like

2. For starters, it's very minimal, but I feel like there's potential for improvement and streamlining of the different elements shown on screen with a more consistent grid

1. Disclaimer: I don't work for Riot, I do not know their processes, how their production is set up, and given the complexity of their game client, I can only make assumptions based on their stream. I'm sure their designers are more experienced than me, and are putting their best effort into this.

LoL’s international tournaments have faced criticism over the spectator UI this year. Riot seems to be optimizing for vertical formats, but some choices feel dated or less accessible. Been thinking about it for a while, I’ll make a thread with alternative options and ideas/concepts for improvement.

Showerthought: in the age of streaming and Let’s Plays, should games marketed towards streamers and youtubers design their UI with an “audience safe zones” option? HUDs positioned in a way that's unlikely to be covered by cams, chats, or overlays.

From Armin Vit (BrandNew): Designer James Barnard , in a viral video, noticed a misalignment in HBO’s iconic logo animation, investigated, and found the official vector file itself is off, until Gerard Huerta, the logo’s original creator, confirmed it was once perfectly aligned. youtu.be/SbSaoU0dIWs

With the release of the new Pynchon novel this week, I was debating writing a long thread about all of the books and where interested folks might want to start. Thankfully A.O. Scott wrote a pretty reader's guide that's worth a quick read www.nytimes.com/article/thom...

It's crazy to me how many people rely on frameworks instead of having learned the very basic foundations of the web

The awful new logo should not distract you from the great work that went into modernizing Audacity's interface! Superb video that goes in depth on the research and design for Audacity 4 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYM3...

Attached might look better, you could also group all the info together on the right side, name, type, value, so players can expect consistency at a glance and quickly find the info they want
