New HUD is inconvenient to say the least.

It's all spread out. Please, either revert it back or fix everything wrong with it: having to look at all sides of the screen to get all the info, something you didn't have to do before; sizes of the different components of the HUD don't match their real importance on a match (I know which power and addons I have, why is that so big yet the gen counter is so small, same to the points popping on the right, quite small); The color of the fonts of the letters tend to blend in in certain walls, making reading hard at times needlessly; The survivors' health status can be confusing at times since it's not a clear image of a person hurt, it's just the survivor's face with some glowing animations that makes me look twice at times.

I know "it can't be reverted back" since they got rid of it from the back end or something like that, but for the love of god, THIS is the reason why you DON'T let this go through to live despite almost everyone on the community giving you valuable feedback that you chose to throw away. The "we need console players to test it first" is a poor excuse to stick to your stubborness. What do they have to test? There are many videos that show the HUD, it's one of those things that you can see and judge from the get go. And you guys showed the HUD on stream, which console players also already gave feedback and told you how horrible is it. Matter of fact, the vast majority of the players haven't probably played the PTB yet told you how horrible is because it's something that you can just judge by a video. It's not like testing a new killer or perk. It's something which it's only funcion is to give VISUAL info and we can judge with videos how good that visual info is. And is bad. Really bad.

Again, this is why you have a PTB damn it, what goes through your mind when people give you such useful feedback and you do nothing with it, or even do the whole opposite of what we want. It's just a visual mess that is really awkward to look at. Specially on the killer side which (In my opinion, not really related to the topic) is quite more demanding and I would really appreciate if I had all the info I need compacted as it was before.

You don't need to fix things that aren't broken BHVR. Please understand that already. I want a good, clean, compacted HUD as it was before. If it means doing it again from scratch, please do it, don't be stubborn. I really hope you don't chose to die on that hill and that you actually admit this mistake.
