Looking at it from a art design standpoint it screams "this is going to change as the expansion progresses" which isn't something they have done before but it just looks like it was made for it.
I think it looks a bit blurry and low res, but the same was true for the Legion login screen in the beginning. If I remember correctly that one had several iterations so this doesn't have to be the final product.
I hope it changes with every major patch. Current login for launch, 8.1 for azshara, 8.2 old gods, 8.3 void lords.
Login screen doesnt matter, now we log in straight to character selection from the Launcher.
I'd rather the art team focus on in game content than a login screen most of us will hardly ever see.
There's stuff moving. The banners, distant crows/bats. I prefer this over a big ol' dragon in my face.
It would have been cooler to have an orc and human fighting, where they get pushed to one side of the screen, and then whichever is stuck pushes back and forced the other to their side of the screen or something. An animated login screen maybe? Though I get for asset/resource usage I understand the login they have. I just picture something from the 1999 Warcraft 3 Trailer I saw. (When I was at college they rerealsed an upgraded version of Warcraft 2 that showed it).

And people are actually replying to this seriously...
This post and nitpicking and complaining about every little thing is also underwhelming. But here you are.
