If a brand new player jumps into ranked conquest the second they hit 30 and they aren't trying to learn or do some teamwork, you're more then welcome to get frustrated with a noob ruining your game. But if you run into a new player on Arena, Assault or some other normal mode game then you're running into new players in a place where they should be learning. Arena and Assault, especially Assault because you can use gods you don't own, are places where new players should be allowed to learn the mechanics of a game free from toxicity. Even on conquest normal mode, let's say they spent the time learning all the characters and now they want to learn conquest. They're going to have to learn the game from experience. If it's not ranked then I don't see why people will get so upset to the point of attacking someone.

Yeah there's some videos out there explaining roles but none of the go into full details on what to do. I remember my first conquest game, I had no idea that I was supposed to start the game at blue buff on solo and wait for my jungle to rotate there. Or exactly when you should stop laning. These are just things you learn by playing. Luckily in my first conquest game our jungle wasn't a douche and was super helpful telling me what to do. I don't know what twlight zone I stepped into where my teammates were sorta nice to me on Smite but that's not what happens to other noobs.

No one is going to be like "oh hey welcome to Smite, btw you should start off at speed buff camp if you're mid laning then rotate over to red buff with jungle and" ect. ect. Telling them what to do so they can learn the game.

Instead most new players are met with "****ing scrub *** player gtfo off this game, F6 at 10" or something like that.

S7, agreed in general. Even in Ranked, I would agree in general, because for the 99% of us that aren't pros getting paid to play the game, it's a GAME. And especially in Arena, Assault, etc., there should be extra leeway for less skilled players or people just looking to have fun.

The only cases where I have issues are people that rage quit or intentionally look to ruin the match for their team.

I can understand your points and I agree with most of them. Whenever I'm playing anything that is not Conquest rather casual or ranked I simply don't care enough to rage, sometimes not even to type anything because, whatever, but when playing conquest, especially by my level and knowledge I do expect a minimum of the match and I also do think most people also do. We are not talking specific cases where a smurf meets a true newbie level 30, we are talking about 2 100+ ACCOUNTS meets each other and one of them plays as if he has no clue of what to do in the game even though he is almost the same level. That's the point.

And of course these situations bring an unhealthy place 'cause someone is mad raging and attacking other person, the other one is probably most part of the times feeling unmotivated to play anymore so he is now forcing bad plays and throwing the game due the attacks which leads not only to them literally corrupting himself but also reinforcing the attacks and making the other guy even more angry. Remember that if you answer toxicity with toxicity you are as toxic as the other guy. If you kill a murder them the number of murders in the world remains the same.

My conclusion is basically: Most part of smite community are not toxic, they are just frustrated people (toxic people are toxic rather the match is good or not, see DM) and that's not what happens with the community in general. We also have a small pool of players + a questionable matchmaking system and everything together leads to what we have today. I also agree nobody will hold your hand and tell what you need to do every game and people will be nice with you all the time because not even the real world works that way, however I do think that some people could improve themselves learning a bit more of how to play or at least getting aware of which modes are more competitive and even what a MOBA is and how it works.

Right I get that, I get frustrated too at times it happens especially when you got all your teammates working together and trying really hard but there's one person that's just doing their own thing, not helping and just not contributing to anything. But players like that I find usually aren't noobs. Those are people who know the game but they just want their KDA to look sexy and that's all their care about.

But being frustrated and being toxic are different. The incident I was pointing out was a situation where someone was literally verbally abusing someone over chat using words I don't think are allowed here.

That's why the report system is there...to help with toxicity.

As long as competitive team games exist this will stay a thing. damn even in casual sports you will see this, however in most cases, it will be the referee's fault. people tend to search for scapegoats and some are very vocal about it. I can even notice I sometimes do this myself even on friends (although I am less negative I do point out mistakes to help them learn to not repeat the mistake), although I also am getting used to the 40/40/20 mentality. AKA 80% of the games you won't impact the outcome even if you try your hardest

I feel that. A lot of games I'm playing Carry or Mid and I'll be popping off in lane get good kills, rotating over to shutdown their fraggers and slapping all their tanks giving us a nice lead. Then late game comes around and we lose one team fight then game is over despite the score being 28 - 23 with a sizable gold lead but none of that mattered in the end.

BUT then I play as support and the outcome of the game feels like its entirely in my hands?

That's definitively the Jungler feeling. A Bad jungler on your team means usually the other jungler getting feed/feeding his team, and after 10 min, unless the enemies commit a giant mistake/your team do a giant outplay, you lost the game.

Yeah jungle is a role I still need lots of learning in. I make the mistake of over rotating to gank too often just so my teammates are happy but I end up super under leveled and late game their jungle is hyper carrying while I'm struggling to stay alive. I hate feeling like I have to ignore my teammates for my own XP gain. That's why I like Cabarakan jungle. Even if I'm under leveled that combo still kills.

I want to create a new game. Who has the most mind boggling build you've ever come across and try to guess the god it's attached to. I'll go through and upvote every build/guide you have if anyone can guess which god this person decided to use this build on.
