Note: I'm not asking which HUD you think looks nicer. HUDs have a job to do.

Which HUD do you think does its job the best?

    Most of the stuff that was added for the New HUD is just quality of life, and I'd argue that that's not worth it for requiring people to be looking around the entire screen for all of their information.

    Consolidating information to an area is more effective than having to look all around and all you gain is a tiny bit more information.

    Doesn't matter to me either way TBH

    The information is a little less compact on the new HUD but I don't think it's as big a deal as people make it out to be.

    It's a very big deal. Every second is important in DBD, especially for Killers, therefore wasting time having to figure out if a Survivor is injured or not (because not it is infinitely harder to tell from their portrait, have you seen what injured Dwight's looks like?) is a major problem.

    Plus, for Survivors, the Exhaustion effect is now ALL red. Meaning it's much harder to tell how much you have left on your Exhaustion. Big issue.

    The quick-read of the new HUD is abysmal. Players should be able to know how many people are injured without actively looking in the corner of their screen.

    The newer Hud has a bunch of pointless data that some people made better ideas for (like the person when they are knocked into a dying state having tentacles around them based on hooks left til death)

    Even with a colorblind mode added having to look at people glowing is..derpy as hell.

    I will say upright feel It might connect to some MLG stuff

    A poll has already been done, and 90% of the community hates it. End of the story
