In the MOBA League of Legends, top players are sometimes bothered by too much flashy content on the screen, the so-called “Eyecandy”. Soon they will be able to turn it off.
Butterflies are the culprits. They diminish everyone’s attention span. This is still known from school. While the teacher was explaining captivating and exciting details about the Weimar Republic, endothermic reactions, or what exactly “Algebra” is, one of those pesky butterflies sucked away all the attention from outside the classroom like a feverish-flapping vampire.
Many top players in League of Legends feel the same way. They complain that all the nonsense on the screen distracts them from their three main goals: destroy, destroy, and destroy.
At Riot Games, there is a lot of understanding for this and they will soon introduce the “Hide Eye Candy” option. It will have little to no impact on performance or gameplay. It will simply remove all “distracting mood content”. The change is expected to be released on the test server soon.
