Riot Games to Improve Item Icons in League of Legends Preseason
During the League of Legends preseason, frequent changes are being made to various aspects of the game as players adapt to new systems. However, the community has recently expressed concerns about the current appearance of item icons in the game.
Riot Games has been closely listening to player feedback and is taking steps to address these concerns. The company will be making much-needed updates to improve clarity and help players differentiate between various items in the shop and their inventory.
Updates to Item Icons Based on Player Feedback
Riot Games recently shared a preview of their first pass of adjustments to item icons based on player feedback. The goal of these updates is to improve icon clarity by providing clearer silhouettes and reducing visual noise. Additionally, there will be more color separation between icons to help players quickly identify different items. Rendering polish will also be addressed in the upcoming patch.
Addressing Player Concerns and Improving Accessibility
Many players found it difficult to distinguish between items when the new designs were initially introduced. The level of detail in the designs crowded the visual appearance of the items, making them visually indistinct. The new effects were not well-suited for smaller sizes in the shop and inventories, which further complicated the identification process.
Riot Games aims to address these issues by emphasizing the item silhouette, reducing visual noise, and providing better color separation. By doing so, the company hopes to alleviate concerns, especially for colorblind players who have struggled to identify items due to color and design choices.
These updates are expected to resolve many of the issues raised by players during the preseason. The changes will contribute to a more visually distinct and accessible item system for League of Legends players.
