I use to play smite quite alot, but due to the unbalancement of the game I stopped playing. I have found other games such as DawnGate and Tera to keep me entertained. Don't get me wrong, I love smite it's one of my favorite games of all time, but hirez needs to get there **** together.

I don't think HiRez needs to get anything together. They're doing pretty well.

I play a few games every day or every other day, but I'm seriously considering quitting. The matchmaking is getting worse, the balancing is getting worse, and the people are getting WAY worse. And it's from match to match too, not just over any real time.

Most of the forum people here barely play smite. YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE HERE! D:

Why does it go from "I play only this game" to "I barely play it at all" in one single poll

Why isn't "I play it a decent amount" or something similar even an option

I play everyday. My problem is that I get done with a match. Then don't want to play. Play another after a while and can't stop for 3 hours. Then I go play Dota. :P Right now I feel that the matchmaking is awful.

Every match is something of the sort: Someone hardcore feeds. Someone ragequits at 30 seconds. 3 people randomly disconnect and return 10 minutes later. That ******* who picks jungle and starts off with midas boots. Then tells you to go back to league when you try to explain how dumb that is. Or I just have a really bad match and don't want to play anymore.

unbalancement

Smite is very on and off for me. I just tend to play it in bursts, up to a month, and then get bored and go back to League for a while, a long while...

I played a lot of Smite during my holidays, I was playing almost daily for two months, but then that caused my enjoyment to be heavily saturated.

There are a lot of problems with it right now. Items are just a mess, with tons of trash items that no one buys and nearly every role uses the same build and items. (Examples: Soul Eater, Pythagorum's Piece, Meditation*, Winged Blade, Divine Ruin, Frostbound Hammer) HiRez just sticks their fingers in their ears, all while people are crying for new items, because the old ones suck! As for builds, tanks almost never vary at all. ADCs only vary in their choice of stacking item. Mages and Bruisers get the most variety, but that's because they're the strongest and most flexible classes right now. Autoattack mages have it the worst, with so few attack speed items.

Balance is also bad, as is HiRez's buisness strat of abandoning whatever they aren't willing to fix. Vamana. Artemis. Ares. Cupid. Chronos. Nu Wa. Xbalanque. Anubis. Others. That number of gods on the list simply isn't acceptable for a game that is officially out of beta.

Power Creep is rampant in this game - see previous paragraph.

The players in this game are toxic (or at least more so than other MOBAs) - I say this as someone who also plays League and Dawngate. The report system is broken because it doesn't help the behavior of the playerbase, utterly defeating the point of a reporting system**.

The balance patches are nearly always disappointing in some way. I'm not asking for perfect patch notes, but I'm asking for a set of patch notes that doesn't make me want to slam my face into the keyboard. I mean, nerfing Vamana, really? Nerfing Artemis' traps, really? Ullr's 1.8 second stun. Zhong Kui being ruined. There's a very long list of patches that make me want to vomit.

And that's not even mentioning the release-day gods. I mean, the issue is helped with the recent public testing, but still, look at this list! Muzen was broken upon release. Ullr was broken upon release. Osiris' 2 sec stun was patched within hours of uploading him. Nemesis was broken upon release. Geb was broken upon release. Nu Wa being absolutely pathetic. The only exception is possibly Scylla.

And matchmaking is a joke.

HiRez does, in fact, need to get its **** together.

*Meditation is the one item that I think would be better off if it was removed from the game. It's a trap.

**Law 101: Punishment has four/five/not sure reasons behind it: Deterrence, Retribution, Rehabilitation, and something else that I forgot***. Deterrence clearly isn't effective, with all the trolls running around. Retribution would work if it weren't for the fact that we have no idea if our reports are doing anything. Rehabilitation, I have no idea, because we don't know if anything is being done with our reports. With LoL's tribunal system, we know that people are less toxic (Deterrence), people are clearly punished (Retribution), and while I'm not sure about the third one, people are still less toxic in League than in Smite.

***If the last one is protection, well, people are banned in League AND Smite. But I think a lot more people (percentage-wise) who deserve it are banned, in League. Because there are a lot of people in Smite who laugh at reports.
