Popularity of the game modes

[Arrancar]

So we finally got an asnwer for this question. This is part of HiRezStew article about MM.

Quoting Stew : "Conquest is actually the 3rd most popular mode in the game (Arena and Joust 3v3 are both more popular), and, of course, only a sliver of the Conquest population plays ranked. All of this does make the match-making problem challenging."

So guys as you can see Duel and Siege are dead modes as I was always saying and they should be removed.

If you are lazy to check the picture :
1. Arena
2. Joust 3v3
3. Conquest
4. Assault
5. Clash
6. Ranked Conquest
7. Current Adventures
8. MOTD
9. Ranked Joust
10. Siege
11. Joust Challenge? wtf is that lol
12. Duel
rest doesn't matter

Yes it's only one week sample, but still it's enough to determine what modes people play.

you still didn't explain WHY anything should be removed. Like few people are gay or left handed... you got the idea. You have forgotten to add the argument so far. If some people play those modes and they are finished already, so no real cost - why not keep them?

Well people always complain player base is split too much between modes. So why not just remove these 2, which are the least played. Ofc people will cry(but they cry about everything), but they would get eventually used to it, like they did with Domination.

... and now check how much it may add to other modes proportionally. Lets even imagine all 100% of Siege and Duel go to Clash and Conquest. While in fact some may just stop playing mode/Smite. Increases those by a lot, right? :D

Yeah I saw the graphs, but at least it would shut up one group of people for some time. Events(3x FWOTD etc...) are quite frequent in Smite and eventually it might lure the group of people who were playing Siege for example only during events, to try something else like Assault or ven Conquest. Heck they might even end up liking these modes. And there are also new players, more modes = more confusion for them.
Again people might argue that removing/keeping them would have almost no effect, but at least HiRez would be doing something. Coz currently even White Knights from reddit are starting to think HiRez cares only about skins aka money.

Clash and Siege might get removed in S6 : https://twitter.com/schisam/status/993342794419900416?s=21

Their is zero reason to believe removing siege/clash would cause people to quit the game. They're almost the exact same mode. If they did remove duel then yea some people probably would quit since their is no alternative aside from customs which have people who f6 after their first death regardless of it being 1 minute in or 10.

siege has same popularity as joust ranked? i don't believe it, it tooks me 1-2 minutes to find a siege match, while i can't find a joust ranked match after 10 min queues... no one plays joust ranked aside grandmaster premades (and if you manage to win against them as solo diamond player, you'll get something like +10 tp lmao)

[no brains]

imo salty slots (assault) should be removed, this is totally casino gamemode, you either hit the jackpot or you get really salty (like randoming 4 assassins vs ares+ahpuch)

Siege and clash are really progressive and hasty comparing to other modes, that's why they are cool comparing to other sht for tower huggers (fu tower huggers!)!!!
IMHO the best modes:
1 assault
2 siege
3 clash

[RhodosGuard]

Wait there are more modes than Arena?

[no brains]

so the siege is below joust ranked, kk

The Joust map is too small and the conquest games take too long, so siege is perfect for me. Siege & Clash are the only modes I play. If these two get removed I wouldn't have anything to enjoy in Smite anymore.

How to make Smite more alive:

add

- Rune Motd full cdr aren mode
- all in infinite assault 2.0

^^

i am sure i am not the only one loggin in for rewards and checking what MOTD is up...there is rlly no reason to play the clown matchmaking in conquest and the feeders/dc/afk mains in arena...so idk xD

You literally didn't add anything besides attacking me. MOBA - Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, 1v1 doesn't make sense at all. And Siege is crappy mode with dead matchmaking. I usually get matched vs/with people who are at least level 100, only in Siege I got matched 2 games in a row with level 7 who had no idea how to play the game.
