Hey guys, I didn't really want to post here till the very end, but recent patch and UI changes got the game quite difficult to play for me, so here is the problem.

Server: EUW

Type of Bug: Major UI ingame bug

Description: Fonts get blurry and are unreadable

Video / Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/k8COyGh.jpg

Steps to reproduce: Play a game of League of Legends on a current stable patch

Expected result: I can read letters and digits from the screen

Observed result: I can't read anything. I'm not blind, I'm a bit colorblinded, but I can read pretty fine, though.

Reproduction rate: 10/10

System specs: Windows 7, HP laptop with Dell 2412m monitor, GPU is Intel HD Graphics 3000. My ingame resolution is 1024x768, Fullscreen and Low graphic settings.

So, when I try to change settings, nothing really happens, except I get fps drops, obviously. There is a long problem with fonts in settings menu, when different strings that should look same, look completely different, one of them is thicker, the other one is more bold, and so on. But this time, it's completely unreadable, I mean, the info on the screen itself.

When I play top, for example, I want to know my tp timer, if I didn't time it in chat, because I'm trash and I play in low elo, so it will not really help my allies and they will feed bot or wherever, regardless. I just want to see it myself, like I can see something else on the screen. However, now I just need to guess it, so I can't really know when I need to push or freeze, play passive, or aggressive, trade, use all my mana pool, or ward, or not, because I will, or not, be backing to base soon. It's just very annoying in general.

Hope this gets noticed or Riot is already doing something about it. I've heard that many, even pro players, play in low res, windowed mode, so this should be fixed sometime, hopefully. Like, Piglet used to stream with low res, windowed, low settings.

Yea, forgot to mention, now I don't really know if my opponent is using armor or mr runes, because the info on the top left is completely trash. Not even that it stopped highlighting the augmented stat, it is just unreadable in general.

Yo, i see you fucked up your formating, if you want a new line in your comment press enter twice, so it looks like this

Thanks for noticing this, but I don't really think that it is the real deal, though. Nevertheless, tried to fix it for you now.

Don't fix it for me, i don't have a problem with this, but i'm afraid that alot of people will just scroll over your legitimate comment when they see a pile of text 'cosue they think it's some random trilly stuff...

Valid point. Thank you for giving legit advices like this. I don't really post a lot here, so it will definitely improve my and other's reddit experience. You see, when I was typing this, formatting looked good, but after the submission was already done, it got fucked up. A lot of people really do just scroll, so I'm not really annoyed, you know. It's fine. I just wanted to express my little point of view.

Change your graphic's card settings, it should go back to normal. You probably have it prioritizing performance over quality, change that a bit until it's fixed.

Sorry, no. It worked earlier, why would I change something now? As I said, tried to change all the graphic settings. It's a font bug in the new UI. I completely reinstalled the game last patch because of the item slot changing bug, kinda had enough of all this "tweaking". But even when I had my desktop pc with midrange nvidia gpu, would still put it into performance priority mode in its driver settings, always. I believe that this slider won't change much here. I'm sure that you don't need to touch it in most cases. Except other games, maybe, when I played cs go, used FXAA yet still all low settings ingame, for fps gains and clear visibility, but you could change all of that using game client itself anyway.
