A recent discussion has arisen about the distracting multiplayer "position display" being visible in the lower corner of the screen, so we& #39;ve been discussing internally how we can make this better for all.

First, let me explain why i& #39;ve held onto having this there until now:
I yearn for multiplayer to have some kind of dynamic play. As in, when you play in a 8 player lobby there should be *something* going on different from solo play, apart from the inherent tension of knowing you& #39;re in a multiplayer match.

But..
I understand using a position display is not the answer to this yearning and my perspective doesn& #39;t really make sense in today& #39;s competitive scene.

So we& #39;re looking to push out a fix today that:
- Makes the "current position" text appear above all skin elements (it can& #39;t be "hidden")
- Makes it toggle with other multiplayer UI, but always show during breaks.
- Removes flashing
Is this something everyone can roughly get behind? I hope we can come up with a better UI for this in future iterations (ie. lazer) that both conveys multiplayer vibes but doesn& #39;t distract, but that& #39;s not for today. Just looking to fix the imminent problems for now.
