1. Everything is smaller. Personally I kind of liked my name all big up on the top of the leaderboard. It was a quick-reference point for whatever the first stat was. But the smaller text combined with use of the new Roblox font makes for really bad readability.
2. No differentiation between names, teams, etc. If no one had BC and the teams were all black you wouldn't be able to tell who was a team and who was a player.
3. I don't like the military-style BC icons; they're gonna be problematic. As much as the icons have been used in the new badges, I feel it doesn't work well as a primary icon. They could have just used simplified BC hats with the appropriate color on them. It's confusing for the public and clan members alike, and I bet soon there will be players asking how they "level up" on the leaderboard. This new icon system creates an artificial ranking system amongst players which leads one to believe OBC users are somehow better than TBC users and so on downwards. Due to this it has the ability to become very classist/discriminatory very quickly. Just using colored, simplified BC hats as I mentioned would eliminate any chances of this.
4. The divisions of the different statistics is sort of needed, however the execution could have been better.
5. The whole leaderboard feels "airier" than before. This isn't a bad thing, but more of the space could have been filled with bigger text as mentioned before.

Off-topic, the new backpack looks great.

I invite and encourage additional commentary on the topic.

It's a lot better than the last one
Though they probably didn't fix the bug where some of the leaderboard disappears if you extend it far enough

I don't understand how to get the badges added to the side of your name...

I've achieved at least 2 badges already but they don't show up next to my name in any games?
Do I have to claim the badges?

Thanks for your time,
Elan

p.s. If you know what I should do please PM (Private Message) me.

@YokoAJ because there are some parts of the new leaderboard which are, actually, improvements.

@spyagent I've seen there are some glitches with the leaderboard too -- it wasn't opening up for me properly when I minimized the window and re-opened it later just now.

@elanmarkel and point number 3 is already coming true... I just hope Roblox realizes this and fixes this before it gets out of hand.
