The launch of Tournaments has been great... and not so great. We're seeing a massive amount of activity and learning a lot each day about how people are playing with the feature, and the areas where we want to make the biggest improvements.



The best thing is that we're seeing a lot of private tournaments created - the majority, in fact! - where people are playing within their clan or with friends. This is incredibly cool to see and definitely the direction we were hoping Tournaments would take! We're planning to emphasize this side of Tournaments more in the future, with improved invite sharing both inside the game and out.

However, joining open tournaments is the biggest pain point right now. The supply and demand ratio isn't healthy. So among other improvements, we are looking at ways of making tournament creation much more rewarding.

A core philosophy of Tournaments is that we don't think it's good for anyone to be in a tournament all of the time - we think of them as 'special events' - this idea is central to a lot of the design choices we made along the way. We know Tournaments have a lot of room to grow and we'll keep improving them with every update to make the experience better, in addition to bringing lots of other cool stuff!

We're reading and digesting all of your feedback, while we work towards the next version, so please keep leaving your thoughts on the forums or reddit.

See you in the Arena,
