As requested on TownHall Heroes: New event spectate/cast UI feedback thread for Blizz

/u/solidjakegg requested on the most recent TownHall Heroes stream that the community provide feedback on the new UI Blizz showed off at the Americas Championship and is planning to roll out to the game. So, here we go.

Earlier in the stream, the TH crew was saying Blizz has told them they are going to officially roll this UI out, but it's still in early development, so now is the time for feedback.

See here in the VoD of THS for the discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8N_Kxz9Kho&feature=youtu.be&t=41m17s

So, please provide your feedback below!

Before diving into feedback, I also wanted to say thanks to Blizz for backing a competitive UI update! :D One of my favorite things about this is having heroic timers right on the UI as well of course as seeing all talents on-screen.

Some feedback provided from the stream (this is not exhaustive):

• Differentiate talent icons and clean-up graphics so that similar talents are easy to discern. (Zoia)

• Add team objective counts on maps like BHB and TotSQ where players are holding objective items.

• This is more applicable to event casting than general spectating and observing, but add team tourney score up top for tournament streams and replace HotS logo with an event-specific logo (Jake)

Some additional feedback from me:

• Would love to see player mana in addition to health

• Would be cool to add status effects to hero portraits. Perhaps including stack info (eg for Azmodunks), if that's not too dense.

Any other feedback? Post away, if so. And very exciting to see this coming!
