I just don't like it.
He looked badass before. Now he just looks strange. I agree the body and outfit are excellent...but the face is just ugly. I hope that part changes again.
I like the new items, though I can't fucking figure out which one's mekanism. Is it that teleporter looking thing? he new HUD looks ok, will try it in game before I say anything.
I've never seen Lion first version; I think he looks better that way, gaping maw and all. The fat chin is a little off-putting.

Random thought: I love killing Lina with Crystal Maiden. I laugh everytime she calls her a "hellfire bitch."
I'm fine with everything but Satanic and Rapier.
What IS the Satanic? Looks like some sort of snail or lizard? Rapier needs to be more badass.
No problems with anything else.

love the new lion face.
He had that amazing nose twitch.
Some of the new items look better, but from what I can tell. At a small size most of them have lost of lot of their readability and subtlety. Which is what made the items so good before compared to the usual fare of item icons (super bright colours and lots of glowing).
I bet you though, those icons look gorgeous at like, 500x500. They just dont work so well when small.

I like the changes, kinda. The ornate hud needs to be toned back a bit. I actually like what we had right before the update. Nice and clean. If they make this new design a little more subtle I think I'll be happy with it.
The stat graphics really do need to go though. Looks like a crappy blizzard imitation.

And lion's new face is awesome but I'd rather it be some other character. I really like lion's current design. Aside from the rest of the heroes not in the game there are definitely a bunch of others that need a redesign (vengeful spirit, dragon knight, and sniper). And some just needs nicer looking portrait models that can go toe-to-toe with all the fantastic ones valve has put out in the recent weeks.
Look at the difference between Dragon Knight and Brewmaster's portraits. Huge.

I think they are supposed to be like those braces that Windrunner wears on her feet.
Apparently my Lion shot is going around the internets. Saw this slight UI change and thought it was pretty good. Makes the HP/Mana bar more centered

Definitely agree with making HP/mana bar bigger or more prominent. I don't know why they would make something so important smaller than it is now.
Disagree, the HP/Mana bar does not need to be that large. It seems like the edited version makes it larger than it was before this patch even. I like the new UI. Also FUCK YES SHIFT+CLICK FOR QUICKBUY!

Whoa, this looks waaay better. There's no reason the stats needs to be so huge. My only remaining issue is that the portrait is still rectangley now rather than the old square.

I always thought that was the point. He looked cat-like until now. Now he just looks like a treasure troll.
I don't see how it makes a difference one way or the other. Your eyes will quickly train to where your HP is when need be.
Ah, you were mesmerized when puck's portrait was high rezzed too?
Didn't notice the portrait window was trimmed thinner. Not sure that I like that, they'd need to adjust a lot of portrait models to fit that ratio. Hopefully they plan on continuous changes to the UI, few things here and there that just don't look good.
Agreed, I thought what we had was perfect. I always thought of Dota 2's art style a nice departure from the blocky, overly-cartoonish styles of LoL and Blizz games; but it seems it's headed back in that direction. The slate grey blocks with subtle crimson outlining was a nice contrast to the world colors. Ornate is definitely a good way to describe the new UI.
