HUD++#

+13.6% average FPS · +14.2% 1% lows over the stock HUD

A Panorama HUD overhaul that cuts the UI's biggest FPS costs and adds QOL Lock-style features: cooldowns in seconds on abilities, items and every player's ult, a mid boss buff timer, powerup timers, running damage totals and a clean minimap, with the stat gauges and per-hit damage numbers gone.

The biggest gain is HoppCX's work on cooldowns. The stock HUD tracks every cooldown with a radial sweep (ults, abilities, items and the mid boss), and each sweep redraws every frame. We removed the sweeps and replaced them with numbers in seconds, which are a lot easier for the game to draw.

Clean damage numbers#

The separate spirit and weapon damage numbers that fountain off every hit are gone, and so is the shake on each hit. One running total of your damage stays above the target instead.

Why: every hit spawned its own animated number, so a team fight meant dozens of HUD elements moving at once. HoppCX found that hiding HUD elements with transparency doesn't remove their cost, because the game still processes them; sizing them to 0×0 does. Doing that for the per-hit numbers gave another +3% to 1% lows.

Since it only shows cumulative damage, the first tick of damage isn't shown.

jcStani's In-Game Crosshair Editor#

14 crosshair styles with full hitmarker customization: body shot and headshot colors, hit duration, scale, line gap, width and length, border and opacity. A toggle turns the hitmarker off and uses a Quake-style crosshair hit flash instead.

jcStani's HP Bars#

By jcStani · Download pak12

Most custom HP bar mods run a script every second to keep each bar updated, and with 11 players in a team fight that gets costly. These bars are a plain stylesheet with no scripts, so the game updates them like the stock bars: benchmarked at 0% FPS cost.

• Stamina shows as dots under the HP bar, not bars above the HP number.
• Debuffs sit flush above the HP number instead of floating high above it.

Thicker Player Outlines#

Vulkan port by HoppCX · Download pak13 (DX11) · Download pak14 (Vulkan)

Hero outlines twice as wide, with no fade toward the feet, so enemies stay easy to pick out at range and through effects. Get the one for the renderer you play on: DX11 is the game's default, Vulkan is for the -vulkan launch option. The Vulkan version was benchmarked at 0% FPS cost.

Lighter Post-Processing and Low-Detail Materials#

By jcStani · Download pak02 (post-processing) · Download pak03 (materials)

Two mods that lower what the GPU has to draw every frame, with the map still readable.

• Lighter post-processing removes the vignette, local exposure and base bloom, and retunes the tonemap. Each of these is a full-screen pass the GPU runs over every pixel, every frame, so dropping them saves the most at high resolutions. It also removes the lamp, storm and street light glow and shrinks the funnel clouds: see-through effects that stack on top of the scene and get drawn over the same pixels again.
• Low-detail materials swaps 414 textures and 676 materials for low-detail versions. Smaller textures take less VRAM and memory bandwidth, and simpler materials cost less to shade, which matters most when the GPU or its VRAM is the bottleneck.

Measured together with jcStani's other mods: +9.2% average FPS, +6.2% 1% lows.

Use all three together: the prune is built for exactly what Clutter Be Gone and Reduced tracers remove.

² Clutter Be Gone and the prune together: +8.5% avg, +4.0% 1% low over Reduced tracers alone.
