The moba style

[GO.FAKE]

Since they are making it a new game they should have just gone the traditional moba style (top down) and you'd see alot more growth. Because we saw that this third person is not a hit in the moba community. Sure some like it and personally i've never minded it but i'm sure going the traditinal way would have made this game a contestor to both league and dota. The "heroes" are really cool and unique so people would have had alot of fun with it.

Its the only reason I play this MOBA though lol

[jagholin]

then it wouldn't be recognized as Smite.

This perspective is what distinguishes Smite from all other MOBAs

[POORSTACY]

I have played league and smite an equal amount of time
and smite is my favorite Moba

[Jopposan]

would not be able to compete with league/dota2 + not what its known for most people play cause of 3rd person me included

You want the game to give up what makes it unique - and you think in turn that will increase its popularity?
I dont think you understand how markets and audiences work.

Top down is terrible, it's way less immersive and it's harder to flank or blindside people.

Just look at helldivers 1 and 2 and then tell me that changing the game is bad.
If it were just a patch that override Smite 1 to a 2.0 then sure keep it. But if you gonna make a new game why not just do a big overhaul? And those who like the third person still have smite 1 it's a win win just sayin it's a missed oppurtunity.

Sorry mate, you're barking up the wrong tree here. The reason that I even started working at Hi-Rez was because this was a MOBA I could actually play, because I cannot stand top down MOBAs. Also of note, if we switched to top down, we'd be giving up our console audience, which dwarfs our Steam audience by a long shot.

You're obviously entitled to your opinion that top down is better, but there are plenty of top down options out there to play, the camera perspective is one of the things that makes SMITE unique.

The change from Helldivers 1 to Helldivers 2 was making a 2d game 3d, adding the dimension allows for vertical movement. What would be added to Smite2 by the change in perspective from 3rd person to top down?

Even if they change Smite from 3rd person to top down. How is that going to be different from LoL/Dota 2 and why would anyone play Smite then if you have LoL and Dota 2.
