On the lockscreen. In Lollipop, if you have a notification, you lose:
-large readable clock
-weather & pedometer (If you're having that displayed. )
You have to pull down the notifications shade to see them or access them anyway so what's the advantage of a giant notification taking up half the screen if you have to unlock or pull down to see anyway?
The old way, you still have your full lockscreen with the information you want. Your notifications are shown as icons in the notification bar. You see you've got email so you swipe down or unlock just like in Lollipop, but you can see your clock in full-size.
If you chose to not show notifications in the lockscreen settings, all you get is the 5tupid carrier badge where notifications should be. Like anyone doesn't know they're on friggin Verizon.
