All these years we used launchers to show our APM ingame. Common korean launcher "wLauncher" always showed APM in top left corner. I believe plugin name was "APMAlert". There was also another plugins (APMLive) which could show APM on top right, but none of APM meters were above command panel on middle screen. I never look there to check my APM so I think it's strange location to put it there.
Korean progamer Firebathero (FBH) in one of his streams said that The APM and gametimer counter blocks part of the screen from being clicked. It should keep the clickable part of the screen exactly the same as 1.16 imo.
Timer was also above minimap (sometimes above middle). You can go to YouTube and check some FPVODs of korean pro's to see what I'm talking about.

Difference between APM& timer on and off on 1.18:

You can clearly see part of geyser without APM and timer.
Can we get APM meter on top right and timer somewhere above minimap or above middle as it used to be? Also there were different color schemes for them: IIRC below 100 you get gray, <150 green, <200 yellow <300 red, <400 blue. It will be nice addition.
P.S.:
Here's batlle.net link. Please post also there if you agree/disagree so devs can see it.

Let's focus on the fact that you have to click on the chatbar to chat in a game lobby first.

They keep updating the PTR, but somehow haven't fixed this yet... should be the very first thing.

Agreed. Super annoying. Pretty sure it will get fixed, but it's crazy obnoxious.

I agree with OP.
For me whole 1.18 is a bullshit.

You should post bugs/suggestions on battle.net forums. I already posted about chat issue though.

Another really bad decision that makes absolutely no sense (was fine before) and looks like Blizzard don't think from the players' perspective even one second. It's only supposed to "look cool" with providing nothing useful, in fact it's more like an additional distraction and takes away from the field of view. Very disappointed with 1.18, even if this is optional. Why not integrate in a good way?

You can take turn both APM and timer off if they distract you that much. The actual poor decision was to enlarge the unclickable part of the screen to use these functions.

How lame and lazy. They literally just used liquify (plastic) effect on Photoshop to strech a hole out and snuck there timer and meter. 1 min. work LMAO. GJ Blizz.
