New HUD does opposite of intended

The HUD was supposed to help bring clarity to the game and make it easier to understand what's going on but it does the complete opposite. First of all the sheer size of it takes up more than twice as much as the old one and it honestly makes this game seem much more childish. It's got that childish appeal to it with its size and design. The score is no longer easy to read when you're trying to focus on the rest of the game considering the numbers are much smaller in the corner of the game instead of at the top. Honestly this has been one of the biggest downgrades since I began playing league. I literally can't stand this HUD it's so ugly, childish, and distracting I'm finding it hard to even play ARAM without getting irritated by it. Also, having my items on the right makes no sense because to use my activateables I use my left hand so it just made more sense to have them on the left to see which number I have what item on such as potions etc. Please consider DOWNSIZING the new HUD and making it 100% customizable with items on the left & champion stats showing without having to click (like the more functional, old HUD). Also, why do I need a GIANT picture of my champion in the bottom center of my screen? Did you guys think we would forget what champion we chose? IT'S SO DISTRACTING. I honestly would like no picture of my champion but if need be, I want it in the bottom left corner where it doesn't block the game as much. Needs some serious work to be considered decent, I honestly had 0 complaints about the old HUD.

ok edit: after having a little bit more time with the new HUD I found out I can scale it down which is nice (i needed it at 0 to be out of the way) and having the opposing teams death timers visible without pressing tab is a great feature too. I'm still not happy with the score/cs showing on the minimap though. If I could recommend just one change, it would be to move those to the top of the screen
