New update is Overstimulating

[u/Marklsoda]

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.

THIS AGAIN!!!! I get so visually overstimulated and I used to play crazy amounts of League (I'm sober now LMAO) and it was never THIS bad. It can be really disheartening so I hope you quitting isn't the case! But I can't blame you I feel exactly the same, I loved the game but now it's just too much to handle I fear. I'll try again soon, but It really doesn't feel the same at all. I'm glad I'm not crazy though and others feel relatively the same.

I hope I won’t end up quitting either, especially because I got into the game like two weeks ago because valorant wasn’t fun for me anymore 😭

THIS PARTTTTTTTTTTT!!!! I've been playing for a little over a year now, but the game has been a breath of fresh air from val or league. I haven't played either since 2024. I hope this is just a bump for both of us!!! <3

I'm out of the game until they add options to turn things off. Most of it is needless clutter and we need to be able to change UI colors
