As I pointed out earlier, you will have this issue regardless. Chrome especially is notoriously bad at rendering fonts in comparison to IE for example, and this will not only be different by Browser but by OS version as well, and I personally wouldn't recommend using that light of a font at that size unless it is integral, which considering those headings aren't even in the same style as anything else on the site. You'd be better off changing them while you still can.
Some of this can be mitigated by doing some browser specific hacks using text-shadow, but it's sort of messy. Of course that example provided by the user above is an extreme and will be a relatively low percentage of users. But jagged rendering of light fonts is very common however.

Looks very clean. Time to get used to change!

As Nazgul mentions, this is a clear type not displaying properly.
Personally I hate clear type with burning passion, and would consider the way it looks on that screenshot a "lesser evil" to clear type. But I have found a solution to this. (For Opera users at least)
Using an extension called Font replacement table It's possible to sort this thing out a little. In the extension options set replacement of "Open Sans" to "Verdana" (or any other font you like).
Overall I don't mind changes much, although i would revert to old style without blinking if i had the option. Progress demands sacrifice i guess :/

Yep, cleartype really hurts my eyes, can't use it. Your extension works perfectly, thank you very much.

When I hover over a long title in the sidebar, it no longer shows me the full title in a tooltip anymore. That makes me sad. Otherwise the site looks nicer.

This bunker change, are you out of your mind TL?!
Omg

I really like this change to the bunker. I think it'll help a lot against the Viper picks we're seeing recently, because then goliaths can just hunker down and shoot that annoying flying manta ray

Your own thread is one of the latest threads in sports. These are a bunch of health and fitness threads on the first page.

I don't understand half of this but you guys are awesome.

This will be looked into tomorrow. We've changed the way thread title length works. It used to be based on characters which allowed us to show the thread title for anything that went over a certain amount. Now we've switched to it being browser based on pixels. As far as I understand this means we either show title mouseover for everything or none. We're going to make a decision on which one it will be.

Thanks for letting us still keep the old sidebar ordering system. The new one just seems way too segmented for me. Having to look through 3 separate sections just to browse a single game's threads seems a bit much.

Another small bug:
If you have Starcraft 2 and Games General on the left sidebar, and you minimize "sc2 general" in one of them (it's redundantly displayed twice under that setup), then f5 minimizes the second one as well.

Looks WAY better...but I can't seem to filter out LoL?

I'm not a fan of the changes, but I guess I'll get used to them ::shrugs::
EDIT: Apparently I can change my sidebar back to what it was yesterday. Yay

Filter "Other".

So any chance we can get Fan Clubs added to the community tab? I don't want to use the " games general " one and it doesn't show up anywhere else.

I made some tweaks on photoshop to show a few suggestions:
Before
After
If you're wondering where are the changes, I changed the font of the block titles, removed the topic "folders icons" and the underlining on topic titles, and reduced the size of topic numbers infos.

width:auto;
display:inline-block;
position:relative;
z-index: 50;
background: #d9dde0;
}
.sidebar_block a:hover + .comments {
display: none;
}
But title attributes much superior.

Damn hoped for a Dark Theme support
