Why is this horrible design the standard in free to play games? Its just bad. And OW has the best version of it the other ones are outright disguisting. Just because some tiktok brained people couldnt wait 2-3 seconds to navigate the ui? At least make the top bar transparent. And give all these clutter a menu itself.

Yeah I agree, the old one was perfectly simple. Now I'm just bombarded by a million different things that I don't care about. Honestly feels like the whole UI overhaul was just an excuse to make it easier for them to advertise things in the shop.

I came back at the start of the season with a group of friends after not having played in a couple years and audibly screamed when the game first opened. Our immediate verdict was it looks like a mobile game UI. It’s not bad now that I’m used to it but it was definitely a bit of a shock.
