For those of you who don't know on the PBE a bar of health now represents 200 HP instead of 100 HP.
This is a horrible change, not only is it confusing to those who have played the game forever but it's also unnecessary. If these changes were made to better show HP on tanks it does make it slightly easier but once you get to 3000+ HP but players know to click on a tanky champ and see the amount of HP they have. They know not to sit there estimating how much health they have.
This major impact this has is to the game at lower levels. I main support and I love Sona dearly and with this change her HP bar is just cut in half at level one. This makes her look like she only has 200 HP and also look much squishier than she actually is. I haven't seen Anivia in game but I bet she also looks this laughable. This has to be one of the most misleading changes to the game ever. It's also pointless, everyone likes the 100 HP per bar system. It makes so much more sense!
Riot please don't let this go live! For the sake of squishy champs everywhere!
Edit: Keep the thicker line for every 1000 HP but revert back to 100 HP bar. I think that would be best.
We are experimenting with this, it won't be going out in the next patch.
We feel that 200 hp bars are far more readible in the level 5-13 range, but the transition is a bit rough. We really feel that showing precise health in the 2k-3k range is very important after the Season 3 changes.

How would you represent the health bars instead?
