[SUGGESTION] Change the "Home > Community> Etc." Progression

This really goes for the Community Beta and for the regular forums.

So if you look near the top of the screen, right above this content box and right below the LoL Site Banner/Links Bar, you'll see this progression:

"Home > Community > Site Feedback >"

Currently, at first glance (or if you don't use the forums much), one might assume that the "Home" button would simply take you back to the front of the forums. Instead it takes you back to front page of the entire LoL website. I'll admit, I clicked the Home button thinking that very thought but it was more because I wasn't sure where the community button would take me. The design of this site doesn't really make it clear what that is.

It may just be me, but I think the home button should be removed from the progression. Especially since all the places you would need to go from the home page are accessible through the ever-present links bar at the top of the page. And the fact that you can get to the home page by clicking the LoL icon at the very top of every page (which is standard on almost every web page with any kind of logo so it shouldnt be a surprise or mystery to anybody trying to get to the home page).

Hey Kitch26,

I hear you with the confusion. The source of it is that the Community Beta exists within the larger context of LeagueofLegends.com. So it's technically under that umbrella, and thus not 'Home'. You'll notice that if you go to any other portion of the lol.com site, it has that same breadcrumb format (oh also those are called breadcrumbs), so we need to keep it consistent here as it is everywhere else on the site.

That said, it might be worth revisiting how the breadcrumbs operate in general here.

Thanks for the feedback!
