I feel like this version is missing a lot of different colors compared to the original. While the models etc look better than the original it’s harder to differentiate units and they generally are less identifiable. Personally would prefer a higher resolution version of the old models as opposed to the new less saturated models. With the blue / red colors things got a bit better imo, but it’s still less clear than the original.
Yes, it is actually very difficult to play imo. I have to stop and try and find enemy units in the middle of team fights. this needs to be fixed asap.
The biggest problem at the moment is visual clutter! There is just too much detail on so many small units. The human elf units show this problem really clearly. Just so many intricate little details on the small frames makes everything hard to look at.
All units need to be more like the rifleman or grunt. Really clean, clear, simple features that make them super easy to spot and they look fantastic to boot.
They should just add some colored Circle and Lightning around the Units.
I find it really hard to see my units in a bigfights too not sure how they can fix it i remember it as more clear in the original
I think just upping the contrast and lighting a bit more to make the colours pop more, as well as maybe some unit texture adjustments will improve readability of the game. Things are too murky, especially in larger fights.
I agree with what the op said. With the exception of some heroes, like e.g. the Tauren Chieftain, it is very difficult to keep track of your own or your teams units. Even some heroes like the paladin can get lost. The models look great but they lack the comic art style that many people still love.
thank you, i also posted this as well. glad to see others agree that it’s visually TOO cluttered.
we want to be able to recognize units and their status extremely quickly because we have hundreds of commands to dish out per minute.
