Is Smite losing players?

wow, its wierd nobody replied, this is an interesting topic.

I'll have to say this, smite wants to be an Esport yet it changes too much every patch which gives it an unstable basis for an esport, which in turn causes people to leave. I hope that this is a beta thing and will change with the release of the game.

Greetings Smitefire Community!

As I have been massively active on Smitefire, I have posted several threads/discussions. Within the comments I have received I have catched some information that Smite is losing players, with the reasons that Smite is unstable? or that its updates ruining the game?

Is this true, or what do you think?

I'm honestly not sure what to think about HiRez's statements. They claim that more people are playing, but they aren't mentioning the fact that those numbers also coincided with the begining of the summer months, which is the time of year when many people are out of school, on vacation, and have a lot more free time to play games like SMITE.

At this point, I'm very skeptical that the game is really growing, especially given the current discontent around the competitive scene. I heard that a few months ago, there were over 30 competitive teams in EU. Recently, those numbers have dropped down to just 9, which is very alarming to hear, especially since any game that aims to become an e-sport needs a healthy competitive scene, and by the looks of it that scene h*** been dying out this month.

So I don't think the game is going downhill by any means, I just think ppl need a bit more time to get back into the meta again (was the same thing when they removed the outer jungle).
