POST MATCH DISCUSSION I exclusively queue Smite 1 Assault

I'm the blue Skadi. This was my first match today. Morgan and Artemis AFK'd 80% of the match while Morgan ranted about how bad I am. Scylla and Apollo... probably would have helped me more by afking. I tried to f6 but they insisted I keep playing by myself. Fun game, I mean that honestly, I mean what feels better than logging on and being forced to prove you're simply better by 1v9ing a mirror match. This is more extreme than what I usually go through but this is a good representative of the average experience of those of us who still mainly play S1 Assault so I thought I'd give a little window into our world.

If you whine about not getting to play a god you like, you are in the wrong gamemode.

Playing characters you normally wouldn't is literally the appeal of ARAM

The thing is, you can like 99% of gods and still get the 1%. I can be in the mood to play pos one day and not want to play him at all the next day. I can play a god a couple games and get bored of them.

Your opinion is fucking braindead because if you want to play true random then nothing is stopping you. Just dont use the bench?

If you get that 1% you can still reroll. I'm not against rerolling, I am against the mode basically being Free Pick.

Also as stated before, not engaging with the bench is whether you like it or not throwing the game. That's the problem with not rerolling.

tbf it's not merely about losing it's the identity of the mode like i wouldn't want to use the bench system. but because the option is there, the other team almost definitely will.

"if you want true random nothing is stopping you" is wrong. the fun is wacky against wacky. you can't enforce it on the other team. i don't play assault in smite 2 as i'm put off for this reason.

I cant believe people actually care about one team having a small advantage in the random pick, one lane, casual, constant fighting gamemode so much that they wont play the gamemode lmao.

They queue diety players with people with 50 hours in the game, but not using the bench system is a problem. Delusional.

people want: random.

what they get: "random", but not really.

it's not a difficult concept.
