It won't help you read it at all, it only helps you distinguish between enemy and ally health bars, which at a glance you can't currently do.

Agreed, when two giant blombs of units clash it can be hard to distinguish what is actually going on, this will help to up the clarity of spectating.

How about they put it on an alternate key. Like press alt to show health, press ctrl (example!) to show red/green. I could live with that.

It's silly to play without them. Helps with targeting down hurt units and saving your weaker units in battles as well.

I don't understand how people can bitch about this change. It seems almost entirely positive to me.

Considering that the point of the game is to win, it hardly matters how "ugly" hp bars are.
"Quote" is a verb.

I don't like the green/red bars, I look the colors of the health bars to know which unit I have to focus or retreat

Yeah I hope this is optional. It's way easier to distinguish health by green > yellow > orange > red than red >.....less red?

That's a great feature for players and viewers alike. Blizzard's learning something from League of Legends


Because League of Legends was totally first with red healthbars over hostile units in computer games.

That was in WoL's campaign as well. I doubt it means anything.
