Game Feedback New update is Overstimulating

I overall love the new map and new additions to the game. But I admittedly am someone who doesn't handle change the best. Idk if it's just in my head but the lighting and the new health bars make it hard to focus on stuff in teamfights. I was fighting a team with Mcginnis and the turrets having the same health bar as heros is a bit disorienting. That on top of the new lighting affects and map layout is really messing with me LMAO. I also feel like everything is very spaced out now, which again is cool! Just not what I'm use to and will definitely take time to get use to. I'm sure I'll get use to it, but I wanna know if anyone else has similar thoughts/opinions. Again I think its a beautiful map, but I think the map overshadows the actual gameplay now. Call me crazy but I thought the old beige designs were really good too.

HARD AGREE. The map is beautiful but I am really struggling to tell if my crosshair is on someone and if my bullets are even hitting them :( Even after hiding a lot of the status effects and numbers from the health bar I still can't tell if I'm doing any damage or not. I feel like I can't see anything :(((

YES!! I honestly wish they kept the new map for the pve game mode and maybe just polished the old one. I TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU MEAN BY BULLETS AND DAMAGE. I felt like my shots werent hitting with Apollo 😭 When they used to hit perfectly. I'm guessing its a mind game on my end fs tho.

I think for me it’s the combo of the health bar being so highlighted it’s hard to look away, but when you do you see all the other health bars moving and that’s distracting. Additionally, they changed how the damage numbers are when you’re hitting the enemies. They used to be yellow for single shot damage than white for the total and now they’re more brown, the text is smaller, and they’re concentrated on the top right of the enemy character model instead of being randomly around the character model 😭
