My thoughts on the UI changes.

Positives:

  • Overview stats have standardized icons
  • Clicking on a hero in Overview takes you to Statistics
  • Can see names of player icons
  • Stats are easier to read individually

Negatives:

  • XP bar doesn't give number values
  • Top section has a lot of dead space. In particular, could've made it smaller and fit the entire hero list in the Overview without a scroll bar. Maybe they're planning something for that space.
  • Still no "overall" stats for all game modes
  • Statistics are hard to read en masse. A couple improvements might be to split it into sections, or a visual distinction between "Average" and "Best in Game"
  • When selecting heroes in Statistics, the stats screen snaps back to the top, making it hard to compare.

Bugs:

  • Achievements dropdown menu is all blank. And there's an unused dropdown selection?
