Loved to play LoL (and the sequels too :mrgreen: )
Great game and it looks like this will be a great Mod when it finished.
Love it that all this great games comes alive again through LoG. :D

but we can't force away the champion shadow boxes or the on-screen arrow buttons (if enabled) (or the automap for that matter but that's less of an issue I think)

@Komag,
well useally I use the Keyboard to walk arround, but if the control Icons would be more in the center of the screen, maybe I would use them more for movement.

I mean something like this: :mrgreen:

or even something like this :mrgreen:

I mean at the edge of the screen is sometimes little to far away to reach :mrgreen:

A problem will occur when you want to pick up something in front of you.

What sort of problem? I thought you can look down via rightmouse button (actually you have also do this sometimes, when the item is to near to your feet, and not reachable)
And even the icons (and portraits) dissapear when you click the right-mouse-button to look around, you can grab then the items.

I know, but the cam slows down when you look down and until it comes to the center again, you can grab what you see...
You never looked down to grab something tiny like a key till now?

OK, i think it would be best, when the Buttons were free plaecebale by the player (like a small Window :mrgreen: )
So everyone could place them like he/she needs it :mrgreen:
However, for me at the edge of the screen is little strange, so I use the Keyboard usally.

Edit: Is there actually no way to manipulate the GUI of the game, for placing the Arrows and Portraits somewhere other than they are?

Funny thing I also noticed is that if you're fast, you can grab stuff on the opposite site of a pit as you fall into it. A key in an alcove or something on the ground, for example. I had to redesign some of my dungeon parts to foil this ninja-like behavior.
