That is rather bizarre.

It's an intentional change, in the patch notes.

I agree it will take a while to get used to :D

User Interface

Adjusted the position of the control group panel to center itself more on the unit selection UI for users with 16x10 or wider aspect ratios.
Adjusted the position of the APM meter in the Forged and Classic Protoss Console Skins to accommodate the new control group positioning.


Pretty much everything is 16:10 or wider

Super distracting. I noticed this also and was wondering why they changed it. Personally, I hope they make this an option. I don't want it centered. I'm sure our gaze is naturally lingering on the bottom-left since that is where the minimap is. It's preferable to me to have the most important control groups close to that area. I don't see what the advantage of centering the control groups is.

I really dislike the change and completely agree with webhappy. I need to be able to quickly glance at my hotkeys and check how many units I have available and find it super distracting that I need to look someplace else than where I'm used to. Can Blizzard please make this an optional setting?

I guess you *could* get used to it given enough time, but why do we need that hassle? And even then, it would just feel more natural to not have that awkward gap between the minimap and the control groups >.<

Revert that change please

I noticed that today and I agree it's annoying. I'll probably get used to it, but I don't think it's a good change. At the very least, there should be an option to change it to old style.

Most displays are 16: 9, not 16:10 so this sounds like an unintentional bug that we'll get an "oopsie woopsie we broke it" from Blizzard for.

No, 16 : 9 is wider than 16 : 10 so it's intentional.

I do agree that it's a dumb change though and after playing with it for a while i'd still prefer the old position - it's too far away from the minimap now.

It sounds like they can't offer it as an option without more client work as they changed the art assets for the consoles to fit the new position.

I'm quite surprised that this was just pushed live without options and without any play testing

Haven't played SC2 in a while, would this make it so that if you had 1 control group, it would be right smack in the middle?

If so, why on earth make this change...?

They still have pre-defined positions but they're not at the left side of the screen any more

If you set something to #3 for example it appears where #5-#6 used to be

Not quite in the middle but yes, basically.
