Please change the "Shortening" in German Clients!

Today i first encountered the new “Shortening” for Stats that was introduced in this new Season… First i loved this idea when I’ve seen them at the PTR-Games from some streamers… sadly all i have seen played on English Clients and therefore it was GREAT!

Not that I have played my first games this Season on my GERMAN Client it’s the First time, i think about changing Language of the Game to English!

Why? Well… In German the thing for 1000 Stats is not 1k like on English Clients… it’s “1 Tsd.” for “Tausend” (thousand)… and to be fair… Stats that are under 10k were more readable in last Season cause of this than NOW!

I mean, localization is fine and all… but come on, do you really think we German speakers are this dumb, that we don’t understand “k” als “thousand”? Also the “Tsd.” is in a slightly bigger font (size) and therefore you can read you Stats even WORSE than ever before!!! And if this wouldn’t be enough, there also is a Period at the End and therefore a “1Tsd.” even has MORE digits, than the Number 1000!!! An you call this “Make it more visible”?!?!

I mean: Watch this Screen from my Build I’ve won with and tell me you can read the Numbers easily

It’s kinda impossible to see the big Numbers… even the ATP on the second minion to the right is hard to read since the “Shop-Buff-Demon” left to it has over 1k Stats and therefore takes Place in his area.

Please… Change it for the greater Good! Give German Clients also the “k” instead of the “Tsd.” or at least give us an Option in the Menu, so the German Speakers with brain can choose to change “Tsd.” to “k”, thanks!

Yes please!

I really hope this gets more attention. First hit on Google.

Tsd. is just embarrassing…

Interested. It does sound like decision someone might make asking google how Germans abbreviated 1000, rather than asking a person. Abbreviation was also probably the word you wanted rather than “shortening”.

I am pretty sure all western cultures understand what the K means in 1.3K in this context.

Im just waiting for the “why did my 8.3K minion die to another 8.3K minion that lived?!?” posts - full disclosure, i dont play BG’s, not sure if there is a fail safe for that that shows 8.3K = 8343.

You might be right ^^ I guess my English is kinda okay, but since it is not my nativ language i sometimes use “workarounds” if i can’t find the right word ^^

A legit possibility but then again when we reached 6-7 digit on a single minions stat we didn’t really know most times who was bigger anyway. So i am not really sweating it.
