Hud downgrade?

I don't want to be someone to instantly trash on new changes in dbd but regarding this Hud i just think its a complete downgrade. I feel that the new Hud looks bland and uninspired unlike the current one that suits the games gritty aesthetic, the new Hud just brings in a photo of the character that goes red and adds a bar when hooked or downed instead of something new (although I will probably always prefer the old portraits)

if you think that this is just me being hateful to dbd for the sake of it I also felt this way with the demons souls remake because of the Hud being so uninspired because like the new dbd Hud it has no qualities that are an improvement over the last one the game had which suited the game.

now that I have mentioned why I dislike the looks of the new Hud I want to address the other issue with it. the new Hud is faaaaar to spread apart because before I could look at the bottom left and see everything I wanted to see but now I have to look in the bottom left for my power, middle left for the survivors status, top middle for the gens left, top right for point and bottom right for perks and status affects. I do suggest an option to keep the old Hud and to switch between the two to fix everything I just mentioned. Now that apart from that I think the update is great for the game especially since survivors don't have permanent back pain.

let me know what you think of the new update.

    Being forced to like something just because it's new is worse than hating something because it's new. Old hud had character and was decorative, the new one is too basic and spread out

    I agree with this. Not a fan of the new HUD at all. Not only does it make the screen look cluttered but it also blocks FOV. The changes are not helpful. The HUD did not require a full rework, just some additional information added to the one we already have.
