I
notice
that
you
haven't
disagreed
with
the
placement
or
inclusion
of
any
of
the
UI
elements,
yet
the
UI
"sucks"
(
a
bit
clickbaity?)
.
It's
an
interesting
focus
and
it
is
useful
to
think
about
colours,
but
I
disagree
with
most
of
what
you
said
here.
I
agree
that
the
playerlist
and
chat
are
a
bit
of
a
mess
of
colours,
but
at
least
one
is
static
while
the
other
is
transient.
I
think
that
a
generally
gray/desaturated
UI
would
look
terrible
and
I
am
not
convinced
that
such
a
change
is
required.
Some
other
small
changes
may
be
good,
such
as
the
whitening
of
the
game-clock,
but
I
don't
really
see
the
need.

Joining midgame as a spectator and person who likes to play fully zoomed out is not an accurate depiction of the new player experience. In the case that a new player joins as a spectator, there is no time pressure so they have more of an oppotunity to look around. I have no heard any reports of new players being overwhelmed by colours in particular.
