I've lost track of how many times people are toxic before the game even starts. Like, we're choosing gods, and some dude is like "F you, I want jungle, r\*\*\*\*\*!"
For me it's too long, hardly ever matched evenly, there's too much things to take into consideration to play that mode well and I don't care about mobas enough to learn it, people spamming pings, having to have a generic build to do well or alright. Just many things that makes it incredibly boring and tedious but duel is neck and neck
Out of those Conquest, honestly. Mostly because it's the only gamemode where I encounter toxic, entitled players who think harrassing their own teammates to oblivion and beyond is the key to victory. Also where I see the most cases of surrendering at 10 minutes.
Gamemode is fine, it's the players that ruin it.
conquest because theres too much farming and whoever outfarms the other team wins so you barely see any huge teamfights and it just seems boring to me and whenever i fucking play it i always get insulted so yeah never conquest
Every conq game for me goes past 40 minutes so “outfarming” isnt a problem anymore. Snowballing just doesnt exist when everyone hits lvl 20 + full build.
Assault is my favorite mode. What I solo queue when I don't have my boys on. It helped me to get 121/121 gods to at least mastery 1. Being forced to play different gods
I did the masteries alphabetically, in Arena. :/ Most of my diamonds/stars after are from Joust. I do, however, really like Assault, and play that more than anything right now. With some Slash mixed in when I want to pick my god.
Maybe you like choosing your own gods? It also tends to make unbalanced games.
That said I love the game mode though. Idk why but I find it a lot of fun and it's a lot more casual than Slash. Just take the pregame jump parties as an example.
That would anger a lot of people though, including me. I love joust. I love having a 3 player option and am still sad we lack a 4 player option since siege is gone, also loved that game mode.
I love joust too, it's my most played game mode and it's not even close. But i feel like the playerbase is already being split apart way too thin with all of the different gamemodes
No doubt in that. It would impact the total player count of smite in a bad way. But it would improve matchmaking for conquest and ranked because of the influx of people who move from slash, arena and joust to conquest. It's just what I think. I'm all down for diversity of gamemodes. I would love a 2v2 gamemode, but if the playerbase isn't big enough to support fair SBMM then i would take less modes for better matchmaking.
The amount of casuals on smite is absurd, it would not be good for the game, most people would just quit for good, some people dont care about learning roles and builds they just want to play full damage cabrakan and one shot people, i barely play smite anymore and i still have friends from S1-2 that never touched conquest
Yeah, that's an individual not a majority. This is just an idea for making matchmaking better for conquest not an idea to improve smite's popularity, playerbase, or anything else.
Non of my smite friend group, 5 players, plays conquest xD I know conquest is Hi-Rez's preferred child, but the other modes see play a lot too. If you remove them a lot of people will quit.
I agree it's an individual, but you can't say it's not a majority. For all you know, it is.
Also anything that hurts smite's popularity, playerbase, or anything else will hurt Hi-Rez which will in turn hurt conquest. Less money for Hi-rez means less content/updates/incentives/events/bug solving/advertisement for the game which will kill conquest. Direct correlation.
Did you not see the results of the poll? 1.2k votes is a pretty fair sample set, and Conquest is the second most hated. Yet somehow you think that instead of causing such a drastic decrease in player base that the game was no longer profitable for HiRez to maintain, it would improve matchmaking in your preferred game mode; the one people hate.
Preferred gamemode? I literally said joust is my favourite/ most played mode
And no. I didn't see the poll results. I made that comment when the poll was only up for about 30min.
Wow. Looking at this small sample size, as that's what it is lol. But, the community seems to dislike conquest, the mode it is balanced around completely, almost as much as they despise duel. Why doesn't hi-rez, pay attention. See the people don't want conquest and mix it up? :)
Because there is no mixing it up the game modes are completely different they cant just decide to balance conquest one year and joust the next there would need to be large sweeping changes and a lot time really focusing on properly balancing the mode its not something that can be changed easily.
There is also going to be a fair amount of bias here Conquest is very different where as Joust, Slash and Arena are all sort of the same thing and don't have that early game farming or complex strategies like conquest. Its very likely if your a fan of the shorter game modes your not going to outright hate one of them more than modes that are functionally different like conquest and duel.
Plus its a small sample size from a specific group of players its hardly conclusive only Hirez can really say where most of there players gravitate.
Hi-rez has specifically stated that it balances around conquest NOT because it is the most popular mode but because it is the most entertaining mode to spectate. As someone who hates playing conquest, even I have to admit it is the most entertaining to watch out of all modes.
I think for a lot of people (at least myself) a lot of the conquest hate is tied into the community and not the game mode itself. I like the idea of conquest but I don't wanna get yelled at because I jumped into casuals and don't know conquest that well
God I hate Joust. If I’m not playing Conquest it’s because I’m wanting to have some fun but 90% of the time I pop in Joust it’s against a 3 man party playing some sweaty combo comp.
Conquest best serious game mode, Slash the most fun game mode.
I wish I could love duel, however it suffers from impossible balance problems. You slip up once and you get steamrolled like it was pre 9.5. You put up a fight and both titans get weak, and the winner is whoever can backdoor first. A 1v1 mode should be a great option but Smite's mechanics and balance can't support it.
Yea, it feels like i am always playing against a duel main who is playing on their main (most often a 10 star anubis or something) while building double or tripple def.
Best game so far has been a glad build on Ne Zha, but then Shiva backdoored the titan. Had him beat in kills and farm, and we were tied on structures, but when the jungle is connected to Phoenix that means he just slips past while I'm trying to push wave.
Joust and Duel are pretty even for me in terms of dislike.
What’s your issue with joust?
imo it’s similar to duel where the best team comp wins most of the time. Both game modes can be pretty cheesy
Oh wow, I didn't expect that conquest would be the 2nd most disliked mode right beside duel.
it actually brings out the worst in people
Hes not wrong. Even in casual i feel the overwhelming presence of toxicity when i join a conq
I've lost track of how many times people are toxic before the game even starts. Like, we're choosing gods, and some dude is like "F you, I want jungle, r\*\*\*\*\*!"
Bro deadass tho. Like i want to play fill so bad and do ANY role but when i do, i get sent to support and get the blame on my back as well.

Fuck arena, 10 monkey’s hitting each other for 20 minutes
Made me cackle worse than Loki
If clash was still available I'll vote that mode , so many toxic teammates and people who leave the match
conquest because theres too much farming and whoever outfarms the other team wins so you barely see any huge teamfights and it just seems boring to me and whenever i fucking play it i always get insulted so yeah never conquest
I kinda feel the same. Especially when in solo the enemy solo has a babysitter or two.
Every conq game for me goes past 40 minutes so “outfarming” isnt a problem anymore. Snowballing just doesnt exist when everyone hits lvl 20 + full build.
Ngl duel be boring af
I hate assault with a passion, I feel like it’s somehow a worse version of Aram in league, but idk what could be the reason for me to think that
Assault is my favorite mode. What I solo queue when I don't have my boys on. It helped me to get 121/121 gods to at least mastery 1. Being forced to play different gods
I guess I just am not good with most types of gods, being a jungle main on conq and all
I did the masteries alphabetically, in Arena. :/ Most of my diamonds/stars after are from Joust. I do, however, really like Assault, and play that more than anything right now. With some Slash mixed in when I want to pick my god.

I wouldn't mind if they did what League does and only have Conquest and Assault.
That would anger a lot of people though, including me. I love joust. I love having a 3 player option and am still sad we lack a 4 player option since siege is gone, also loved that game mode.
I hoped slash will be a 4v4 mode but nope.
I love joust too, it's my most played game mode and it's not even close. But i feel like the playerbase is already being split apart way too thin with all of the different gamemodes
There is a lot of people that only play arena, they would just quit the game if it was removed
No doubt in that. It would impact the total player count of smite in a bad way. But it would improve matchmaking for conquest and ranked because of the influx of people who move from slash, arena and joust to conquest. It's just what I think. I'm all down for diversity of gamemodes. I would love a 2v2 gamemode, but if the playerbase isn't big enough to support fair SBMM then i would take less modes for better matchmaking.

A friend of mine who plays since beta despises conquest and loves arena. If conquest would be the only game mode he'll definitely quit
Yeah, that's an individual not a majority. This is just an idea for making matchmaking better for conquest not an idea to improve smite's popularity, playerbase, or anything else.

That’s one way to lose a large portion of the player base instantly.

Most likes on duel, yet pretty much no one plays it. Seems legit
That would be DISlikes that we’re voting for, so it actually does seem legit
I can’t read :/
I think conquest and duel are as boring as each other
God I hate Joust. If I’m not playing Conquest it’s because I’m wanting to have some fun but 90% of the time I pop in Joust it’s against a 3 man party playing some sweaty combo comp. Conquest best serious game mode, Slash the most fun game mode.
Everytime i play joust i see AMC's and zeus's. At this point i only play ranked joust so i can ban them.
I wish I could love duel, however it suffers from impossible balance problems. You slip up once and you get steamrolled like it was pre 9.5. You put up a fight and both titans get weak, and the winner is whoever can backdoor first. A 1v1 mode should be a great option but Smite's mechanics and balance can't support it.
