Its just so damn big. Also, i really loved the old play tab, new one is just so bland, no icons for anything and the banners for the modes are just long and empty. I already miss my favor and shit being nicely arranged at the bottom of the screen along with my profile icon and level. I really loved how centered everything was with play being right in front of your face and the gods, store, profile tabs being along the top next to it. The old UI was nice, compact and extremely easy to navigate, the new one looks like they just filled up empty space haphazardly just for the sake of getting rid of empty spaces, but they even failed at this since the bottom of the screen is way too empty. I loved the character that the other one emitted, that along with the music really made me feel like I was playing SMITE and not just some random game. I would honestly have less gripes if they had TRIED to keep the character and charm of the better UI in the same way tf2's UI got fucked up but has the same heaps of character and charm as the old UI. They should have made compromises between the two if they were gonna meld them, not force PC players to stare at this terrible interface after some of us have been loving how it has been over the years, even when it changed a bunch the styles kept similar feel and usability. Now it just feels like I'm too close to a TV playing a console game made by people who don't care enough to put together a unique title screen.
