my opinion:
girl what the hell is this ui. it looks like a 6th grade powerpoint project
tbf OW1 beta had bad UI too, the main thing thats wrong with this is doom in the tank spot
Doom is a tank, but I think you knew this.
The UI is probably still a WIP. You also can see that in other builds from last year the UI was more updated (during some clips of the Bastion & Sombra rework videos). This is probably a Placeholder how they want to integrate the roles into the player hero frame during “Assembling your hero”. I would not blame them for having a WIP UI + it wasn’t intended to get seen by the public.
Isn’t that using old art for the characters?
Why does Ana have a different background (White-ish) to everyone else (Charcoal)?
I’m guessing these are placeholder character images.
Personally I’d be more interested in the UI in-game rather than selection screen.
The Main core things I need to know in-game are:
Where’s my team?
Who in my team is dead?
Readable kill-feed of who dead and what team without directly looking at the corner
How much health do I have without directly looking at the corner?
How much ammo do I have in my clip without directly looking at the corner?
What is going on when there is a million ultimates going off in my general vicinity?
The OW1 beta had bad UI because they hadn’t come up yet with the UI we have in current OW1, so if it looks bad in OW2 even though they already have solid UI in OW1 it isn’t because they haven’t come up with another one yet, but probably because it’s a permanent change.
Doom is a Tank now. Everyone knows that as it was the only way to avoid gutting his entire kit.
They probably still dont have the art for some of the characters designs, especially since both Lucio and Soldier are using their new art.
I’m actually excited for Doom to be a tank. I always said he should have been a tank to begin with.
He needed a total rework of some sort, and with how his current playstyle is tank is the most fitting role tbh.
Here’s the image:
Probably only like this to get maximum performance and then make it fancier/nice looking in beta.
The UI looks…off. But I’m pretty sure it’s fake. Since Doomfist & Ana look the exact same. It may just WIP stuff. Also, notice how Sojourn, Lucio, and Solider are all concept art? While Doomfist and Ana are 3D renders, just like how it is in the current game. That’s some fake news if I’ve ever seen it.
Do you just want all of these things to be HUGE and in your face? It’s just a quick glance into the corner for me. Personal preference I guess.
Yeah. The whole design philosophy looks just like OW1. They should have completely revamped it. It’s also weird seeing doomfist as a Tank… They’re gonna have to enlarge his character model now, and it’s gonna be so strange looking.
It’s a shame they couldn’t figure out how to make him work as a DPS, but his entire kit was annoying and at times disorienting.
I wish they’d done something original with the character select. It looks exactly like it does now, except some things are a different color. -_- It’s the little things that will add up in making people feel like they’re playing a sequel.
This looks like an old mockup to me. At the time they may not have had the art, but they surely do now. Right?
the one we saw back in 2019 was way better than this tho
I think there is a high likelihood that this is an old image.
I mean, its Blizzard, at this point them not having the art ready is not out of the realm of possibility.
Why does it look so bad
