Hello Stuke here again, I though of this list last night and though it needed to be addressed. When it comes to all games that exist there are some really good players in games and Smite is no exception. Good in teamwork, gameplay, and attitude, but then there are some that are the worst humanity makes and these issues can really break the flow of the game and ruin your experience in Smite. So I compiled a list of the Top 5 Problems with Smite Players I have seen or have experience in Smite and will list them in order from actions that're just obnoxious to the most hateful act in the game. So lets begin shall we.

#5: Autolocking & Waitlocking:
This is the most common issue with Smite players I see once in a while but it can really start to be a real bad thing when it happens. If you want a role to play and all the sudden someone autolocks a god with the role you wanted it will really ruin the gameplay. Lets say for example you wanted to be a jungler, but your teammate autolocks Arachne before you have time to select your god. Now you have to play one of the remaining and you aren't that good at playing them. The flow and the teamwork goes out the window at that point because you're to angry to think and it might cost you the game because of it. Now on to a term I made call wait locking. This is when you select what god role you want to play and your teammate doesn't have a god selected, when you look at the team and see it's unbalanced with (for example) 3 physical and 1 magical you change to a new god. Then in that split second you select off of your god, you teammate then selects your god and autolocks them in like their life depended on it. Not only did it waste your time but it makes you annoyed that they didn't even say anything that they wanted to play a certain god in the first place. Bottom line is, don't autolock a god, you'll screw over the game and your team in the long run.

#4: Misusing Gods
I've seen players who think certain things about how to play a god when in a game like Smite, all the gods are so flexible they can practically do anything. I had people give me a dirty comments when I would play Sun Wukong or Loki Middle Lane. A god is not bound to only one role just because of there written role. Just because Freya is a mage doesn't mean she has to be in Middle lane all the time, her kit allows her to be a jungler with her passive being a life steal and her second ability to have amazing farming power. I also see people not taking advantage over a gods kit either, I see people play Hercules with more damage items over defensive items, with Hercules's passive you gain damage for the difference in your missing health. Stop thinking the roles only determine what lane you are in, the gods kit is important too.

#3: Ego Boosting:

Nothing grinds my gears more then players that think so highly of themselves and end up on the losing team when it's over. It's all fine and dandy if they knew they got careless, but when they try to shift the blame to another player that did as bad they did in a half-***ed attempt to make them look good then they're the problem.Smite is just like every other game, stop thinking you run the game and consider using teamwork instead of stroking your own ego with a K/D ratio that doesn't mean anything outside of Smite.

#2: Insulting teammates:
You are not contributing to the team if you sit there and type hateful messages to a player that's not doing so good and dying most of the game because he's having a bad game or is new to the game. If they stop playing the game because players like that it will be your fault for not helping them in some way. Here's a easier solution, do something to help that player instead of making him feel bad for themselves and never touch this game ever again because you're trying to make him look like the problem.

#1: False Reporting:
Nothing is more of a pointless, unintelligent, and such a ****ish thing to do then to false report someone for something they didn't even do. I see over and over again players abusing the report function on Smite for those ego maniacs or wanna-be MLG's that aren't good at Smite and need something to blame. the most common of this false reporting is when a player is not doing good and gets killed multiple times, they claim that that individual is "Intentionally Feeding" even though they are either new to the game and or having a really bad game. Luckily for the others players, Hi-Rez sees the reports being made and they check everything to make sure the the claim is legitimate, so those who think that false reporting a bad player is going to do anything YOU'RE WRONG and those players should be banned for a day or have a strike system on their account for the false reporting.
