Here there is a video of an excellent team work in season 4, and I don't see it anymore in the game. Looks like that at S5 everyone wants kills just like an TDM of Call of Duty, but Smite needs teamwork.
Of course season 4 there were a lot of teams that didn't work together, but in season 5 I'm facing almost every match this problem.
I asked for ADC (since I'm Cupid main), and then someone locks an Ullr and then asks ADC. So I changed to Mid. Then this same guy go to the mid and I'm forced play against in duo lane (but the supports went to the mid) and there was me against an Artemis with a Scylla without help. And of course I didn't received any help and 0 ganks. And yes, we lost.
Besides people complaining of your picks (even when you play very well), people leaving the game in the middle of the match (in 10 conquest matches I play, 5 at least someone leaves the game), and a lot of other stupid things like these that broke with the fun you could have.
What happened to people? In season 4 this kinda of problems in matches were the minority but in season 5 they are majority. What people are doing with Smite?
That was what think. This season has been being the worst Smite season in my opinion, but this is only my opinion, may I change my mind until its end.
Take it from me, I've been gaming for YEARS, it's always the same thing.
I was trying to think different but unfortunately looks like my thoughts were right.
Sometimes, though, people are just jerks, lol. There isn't much for me to say there.
Something else you could consider is playing with a reliable group of people. Finding people that you enjoy playing with makes the game more fun.
But, again, it does seem that the average player (at least near my rank) does things to make the game less enjoyable.
A new season probably means new people, I've heard that console is getting a lot of new players as well. PC has the same thing in low level games.
I feel it is a lot easier to leave on console though than on PC, it does not feel as serious to me. But I am like lvl 15 on PS4 so that might be why..
when it comes to X-box though and the DC, wasn't there a lot of problems with it lately? That could explain the DCs maybe?
