Why is Classic Team UI not Classic?

This isn't a question of nostalgia for the familiar look of the old UI. The new UI simply sucks, and the only think I like about the old one better than the new one is that it sucked less. Additions and changes to the game should not make it worse, and it's hard for me to think of a worst UI design decision than putting text against a background of the same colour.|

I don't have a problem with the basic design of the new classic team window. I have a problem with it because it's bugged and because it's hard to read. Fix the scaling bug, fix the text colours and no-one would complain any more.
Well, OK, I'm sure people will still complain and ask for the old menu, but you won't see nearly as universal a backlash against the thing if they'd actually fixed it so it doesn't ruin our eyes.

The most off putting thing for me with the 2 new windows is when I play my support toons. The new health bars decrease by half and I instinctively reach for my heal, only to look at the bar above their name and realize they've barely been scratched and I just wasted the heal...

Agreed, I prefer the old look.
