New HUD is hard on the eyes.
As a lot of people have pointed out already, I too hate the new HUD. I don't like that everything is being squished together and becoming smaller. I find that it is straining my eyes for me to look at the new stats, because the color is rather dark and smaller than before (or at least I feel like it is smaller). I'm trying to adjust to the new HUD. but it is really affecting my gameplay because with all the new clarity indicators I can't tell when my spells are up. I don't need an animation every time I level up a spell, I just want to know that it's up and I can use it. It is really annoying having like 5 different colour changes on a spell for no mana, lvl up, using, cooldown, whatever. I'd honestly just have it black and white for all I care.
I guess I just have to suck it up, but at least make the HUD be a bit bigger, I already have it at 100% scale, but I find that it is still too small
