A good example of what the ability UI should function like

[Signs]

This is taken straight from the wiki and I'm just baffled that DE can't implement something like this in the ability menu. This ability page from the wiki comprehensively shows the player quick information that one would want to know at a glance. But the important thing is that it has a little arrow that expands the ability page to show the player more information about the ability that may not be immediately clear to the player.

A good example to illustrate some problems with the current UI is Chroma's Elemental Ward.

The player only gets information on the current selected element in the abilities window which makes sense because the window is far too small to give that much information. To solve this problem, let us click the ability icon for "more information" to show the player what ALL the elements for Elemental Ward do since it can't all the fit on such a small window. In addition, let us click on both Passive and Tips to open up a bigger window to explain more about the passive and to show all the tips on one screen. To let everybody know about these features, there could be something like "click ability icon for more information" at the bottom of the screen.

Look at what Riot has done with recent champions in League of Legends. Upon hovering over an ability, the ability information pops up like usual. However, you can hold shift to see additional ability details and exact numbers.

In League of Legends, vital information about the basic functions of the ability are not nested and for everyone to see. More nerdy information is nested and shift is needed to be pressed in order to show this information. As is stands right now in Warframe, basic information is shown but additional information does not even exist. Warframe is inherently a more complicated game in that there are so many more factors than a game like League of Legends so that information is even more valuable for ALL players and thus should be given to players like what League of Legends and the wiki does.
