The profile page for Patch 1.5 is a huge step backwards in terms of aesthetics and information displayed. People expressing concerns in this area aren't just “whining about change”. The new UI removes functionality and statistics that players have come to expect from the StarCraft II experience.
*Career Wins have been removed *Snapshots for 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 have been removed *Team games have been lumped into one “Team” category. *Current League is bugged (Example: Says your current league is Diamond when you're in Platinum). *Lots of un-used spaced *Text feels flat and boring *Your league information can no longer be directly accessed from the Profile screen (clicking the league icon)

I think some of the features were better, some of the stuff got redesigned out of necessity (they had to swap over to using the UI editor that comes with the map-maker for the out of game menus I believe). I think it's a net positive, and a large portion of the changes are just a step towards HotS hitting (map editor changes etc.)

Also, my Korean audio for NA client got replaced by English and I know I won't be able to change it back but has anybody lost the color mods or any other mods?
pretty sure the low graphics is just a bug, its like medium or high, i dont see why they would change the graphics
Btw, are the supply, mineral and gas icons at the top right still clickable? (Meaning that if you try to start a selection box from them it won't actually do anything, as if the icon intercepted the click).
That the most annoying UI behavior for me. Few people won't notice it because the majority boxes top left to bottom right, but I switched to an hybrid style with top right to bottom left boxing as well, and boy is that shit annoying now...

It's not a bug. The engineers at Blizzard were hoping to make low graphics look better at no cost to performance, but they kinda failed in the performance department so far.
well this patch isn't quite as bad as the colossal game fuck-up that was the first major D3 patch, but for its size it definitely seems to be pure fail!

Looks better. But it has terrible useability, took me 5 minutes to figure out how to play a ladder game, and while it kind of fixed the custom map issue, its still takes too long to get to open games which should be right at the front, not at the back.
yep looking good to me except i have seen more lag than usual at the beginning moments of the game when i split my workers. I am using a mac book with very decent internet. also have seen that my 1v1 says masters even though i simply have a 4v4 master profile.
It's obvious 1v1 ladder is no longer the star of the show. It used to be you clicked on multiplayer and bam, there's your ladder right there. Your race portrait takes up most of the screen, and there's a big orange button beckoning.
I do like the look of the new UI in general, but some of the lost functionality is just baffling. Pointless scroll bars, wasted space, lost information...
how do I troubleshoot this shit! it says I cannot download because folder is wrong.. I have a feeling its messed because I have both SEA/NA and KR clients

What a mess.
I have to agree. This is whats most annoying with the new UI. Really hard to get a grasp of your opponents stats after the game. It also takes away my motivation to get master in everything so I can see my total win/loss ratio in teamgames.
