Is it just me or is the new weapon swapping system WAY WORSE?

My main complaint isnt even about how slow the weapon swap speeds are, but how weapon swapping works in general. In KF1 swapping a weapon was as easy as just hitting the key for the weapon tier you wanted, and more than once if tier stacking (or zerk). The weapon menu that pops up at the top of your screen didn't even appear unless you specifically used the scroll function on your mouse. The new system in KF2 feels so much clunkier and awkward, it would be much nicer to not have to deal with it and just hit one button like in KF1.
