I'm fairly certain there are like, 10 Smite players on TL lol. But to Nazgul's "so hard to get into pro LoL" point, there's not that huge barrier yet for pro Smite. There have been several new, well performing teams in the recent weekend tournaments. | ||

Bastion's soundtrack was kind of a modern country-western fusion type thing, this really almost gives me a jazz club/late night streets feeling. | ||

This could be because its the only game left with more than one section that doesn't already have one. but if the functionality was already there leaving it in would provide benefits to lol haters and lovers alike. having an option to take league of legends out of the general games and hide it or show it wherever you want is what we had before. turning it off by default is understandable but why remove it. Maybe smash bros or mafia could have a "per game block" for people who care to remove / add it. I was really impressed with the per game blocks and sad to see them gone. edit: actually by default now, is half of everyone's other games taken up with lol content? Gameblocks aren't returning because we would like TL to have a dedicated look as default. The issue with any suggestion to add things and have them be removable is that we have ran into the problem that customizing things is only something regulars will do.

I feel like people don't really find it any more unless they explicitly know that it is there If you mean its low positioning yea not much we can do about that it's kind of a result of everything else.

It's gaining traction, albeit a bit slowly. I don't think it will get as big as league, but it's definitely an interesting take on the MOBA genre, and Hi-Rez has done a pretty damn good job with it. I'd suggest getting it on your radar, if only just to keep an eye on it. Many of the pro gaming teams have already gotten teams in the Smite roster (C9 and TSM just off the top of my head) | ||

I'm not suggesting adding anything just keeping what we had as an option. If only regulars are using customization then leaving it as an option seems like it wouldn't work against your goal of having a dedicated look as the default. and as an entitled feeling part of the 4% and a TL+ member i stamp my feet and shake my fist seeing my options taken away, but understand your answer that they are not returning. | ||

Many of the pro gaming teams have already gotten teams in the Smite roster (C9 and TSM just off the top of my head) I agree about size. League and Dota2 have the market fairly well cornered, but Smite seems to be gaining new players (mostly just casual) every day. The weekly tournaments and SmitePro streams get a fairly decent number of hits, and the launch tournament had a fairly large prize pool. I'm not really sure about player pool - as in, how many players are high level and are looking for a team or are considering going pro. I think it'll grow as the esports/competitive portion of the game gets more fine tuned, and Hi-Rez is putting a lot of effort into making Smite's esports as interesting as other games on the market. | ||

We'll take this into consideration but truth be told one of the things on our vast to-do list is actually simplifying customization instead of adding more options to it. | ||

Oh well, thank's for answering anyway. Quick start to cleaning up customization would be to remove that now useless "Use default sidebar blocks" button with the description that references features you no longer offer  | ||
