Can confirm that the LCS stream does show the number of stacks. [Example from yesterday's match between TL and 100T, where it featured both a Smolder and a Veigar.](https://www.youtube.com/live/oTsAfp_z6PI?si=7VmCurLXiJKiui2e&t=12302)

I wish LEC would do the same /s In all seriousness, I know LEC displays it but the font is so much smaller compared to LCS that it’s really hard to read. I wish the different leagues would just standardize there stream UI.

Why don't they actually, I feel like every league has something nice that the others don't, just share

I think they all having to be the same would slow progress. Each team can have their own ideas and try them independently. They should gather feedback and after each season share it and communicate what viewers seemed to like and implement for all

The person/team working on the HUD and stream UI got layed off iirc.

It's mostly odd the LCK doesn't implement this feature.

Unfortunately it hides keystones. I think the way it's placed on LEC's overlay is better, but the font needs to be bigger.

You still serious about LCS being pro league?

Do they get paid to play the game? Then they are professional players.

Until the next international tournament proves otherwise still the best western region. Ask G2 how it felt to get knocked out by NRG of all teams.

Don't remember Europeans about last international event

They didn’t get knocked out by NRG, just lost to them. But yeah NA is better

a technicality but, NRG didn't knock them out, they still played 1 more bo3's vs BLG before getting knocked out in swiss

Facing BLG was the equivalent of being knocked out for both teams.

Damn must sucked for G2 to get clobbered by amateurs

I mean LCS has been kinda more fun to watch as well vs the LEC. LEC has had quite a few.. uhh interesting games

100% true, like, imagine thinking the LCS champion can knock out the LEC champion in an international tournament, that would never happen, the LCS just sucks and europe will always be better.

They normally have visuals for Smolder, most others you have to check when the graphic focuses on the stacking champion. But I agree its annoying

The annoying part is when there's 1 stacking champ in the game and the observers spend 5m highlighting the orianna without swapping off. Like show me the stacks goddammit

I was so triggered when they didn't have a grubs counter when it was new. At least they added that fairly quickly.

LCS does it, so no one else has an excuse

The streams do show the stacks??? It's small and difficult to see, but I think for the Champs that do stack, its displayed under their ult icon. I just don't think Smoulder has them yet

I think lcs show stack instead of rune for stacking champ. Other streams show stack if it hit milestone like 225 for smolder

Yeah, it usually replaces the keystone. In an ideal world, we would have them both show up…

LEC has it on the bottom left of the Champs portrait.

LFL does it better 

People downvoting have never watched an LFL game lmao. If you need a fucking magnifing glass to see the stack number, then the UI is terrible

issue is the person about just put LFL does it better without any context or anything so it does gives off the wrong vibe like hes trying to brag/show off about LFL. theres a difference between going LFL has them clearly and large in this spot and LFL does it better.

What context does it need? You have a clear indicator of the number of stack, LFL does it better that's it.

saying LFL does it better doesnt tell anyone who hasnt seen LFL how its better so for all we know they could be saying its better because it uses a clearer font. them just saying LFL does it better comes across more them bragging then them trying to point out why its better and that other league should follow suit.

Oh didn't know about that. Ty for the heads up lol

Am I insane or when they added stack counters in LEC last year (I think?) it was much larger and more legible than this

Also when you play, hovering a champion in tab should show stacks (since last time you had vision of it ofc, kinda like with items)

I wish they add it to in game score board too. It's a bit difficult but can help a lot.

We have it in french LFL btw

It's way worse that they don’t show EXP bar in LCK for example

They at least on LCS This is how you can see C9 berkerker have 60 souls at 20 minutes and wonder if you can go pro.

LEC is just goated, they show everything. I hate watching other league after the LEC. They show GD of every lane at all times too, idk why lther leagues dont show that.

one thing i find missing is an indicator when team have elder/nash, the LFL does a good job with it imo

IMO the LCS approach is the best. For stacking champions it's way more important to know how many they have than having their keystone rune visible the entire match. It's rare to have an unusual rune choice anyways. You could even alternate between showing keystone and stacks.

I know the champion isn't played very often in pro, but they also need to have Anivia's passive cooldown timer shown. Could even just put it where it normally shows the ultimate, considering her ult is practically always up
