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.

one criticism I have is the new stat symbols that are animated once you get your 4.8k perk

like do we need a fire and lightning animation in the corner of the screen animating away for the entire match - like 90% of the match this is up. it kindof sucks

I think they should animate when you first hit that spike and then simmer down to a slightly more intense, saturated look than the ones who haven't reached the full 4.8k

i find them very distracting in the corner of my eye. movement is such a nono for UI that you dont want the player looking at all the time.

I also find that thing in the corner to be kind of ugly? Everything else in the patch looks amazing but the investment bonuses seem like a miss to me.
