As of a patch about a week or so ago (early/mid July 2015), my characters are now weirdly learning forward and have stark, overhead lighting on the character select screen. What the heck was this change for? They looked great before. Now, quite frankly they look rediculous with odd, disproportionaltely large heads.
Okay… Is this a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things? Sure. But I just don’t understand why anyone thought that a change was needed in the first place. The characters looked awesome before, and they accurately represented what you see in game. Now, not so much. In fact, I find them quite disappointing to look at now. There are plenty of other places to spend your development time. Taking something that was good and making it not as good is a waste.
There are multiple threads on the topic of the new character select screen:
