I was just a bit irritated at the fact that you have to wait so long for a game at times, and was thinking that maybe it would be better if the game auto starts once enough people select that game mode? So like, lets say 10 people click on Conquest, and soon as the 10th person clicks on it to wait, it starts automatically since enough people are connected to it, and it would make the game wait much better. :D

I'm not entirely sure why they haven't done it yet, but I'm pretty sure it'll be added whenever the game comes out from the beta. Could take a few months from there on too though so no promise.

If I had to guess, I would say the reason they do it the way they do is for game balance.

They use some formula to match up players based on skill level. They also match groups (so if you got two friends in a party you'll be matched against another party).

If they just started games immediately, it would be a random miss match of people playing and they would not have a pool to create the most balanced teams.

Of course, in theory they could make you wait until theres enough people for a balanced game.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
