Get support doesnt pick...

Why do people queue in conquest just to not pick when they get support!!?!?!?

[Geardo]

Same reason some will pick a character that is not capable of being a Support, they did not want that role but got forced into it by the system so use their 'not pick' as a protest.

Their protest doesn't affect anyone except the other people on their team who have no control over what role they got. Selfish and ineffective as a means of protest. It's actually just a temper tantrum. Stop trying to justify it.

I have no problem with them doing that, if smite was a better game it wouldn't be dying and it might be able to find support players :)

Odds are they lack the IQ to play Support, fren. They just want to play Thanatos jungle - every game.

tbf to them, thanatos jungle sounds more fun than ymir support if you're going to lose anyway because of a throwing team of afkers/people going wrong roles

Honestly, it's hard for me to imagine someone with thousands of hours who didn't get atleast some playing time with some kind of support that he liked.
My least liked role is ADC and I have a bunch of them I actually love playing.

everything works in casual or ranked below diamond.

Calm the **** down and pay attention.

Just because I explained it does not mean I am justifying it. Hell, I was one of the people who tried talking them out of this and other bad behavior for years.

It is part of why the only thing I play anymore in Smite is Assault and even that way less than I used to. Not only do you get people either ditching tanks or building damage on them, you get players who refuse to reroll to fix a comp with 4-5 Physical or Magical gods on it. I have not touched Conquest in years yet I have seen videos and streams with the same team comps. Bet this is why in Smite 2 Titanforge is removing Physical and Magical from the game, to accommodate the 'do what I want' players.

I also see similar behavior in other MOBAs hence I pretty much am abandoning playing the genre entirely. Can't make them stop so why play only to get frustrated by a portion of players who refuse to play roles properly. This is one of the reasons MOBAs in general are stagnating with no player growth and new MOBAs just keep dying.

No MOBA can, the 'do what I want' crowd pushes them out or they quit playing Support to become part of the problem.

If OP wants a healthy life, play MOBAs as little as possible.

Because as a Guardian you're essentially just bullied and having to carry 4 others on your back. If you dont do that then you get flamed and blamed for the loss. It's a difficult role to play and frankly it's boring to a lot of people. I personally will fill any role needed. But players dont like that protector role because they want to be a damage dealer vs a tank

because this community is the worst compared to dota2 too low punishments, casuals saying it is casual so they do not care, rankeds cry why you play ranked to go casual -.-"

[Gilver Redgrave]

I mean you could also communicate with your team maybe someone is willing trading roles. Then again the amount of insta locks i have seen already......never mind.

I also learned recently a portion of those playing 3rd person MOBAs expect it to play like FPS or TPS shooters not MOBAs where people with guns do buckets of damage. Smite is for some strange reason marked on Steam as RPG and Strategy RPG, another 3rd person MOBA is literally marked as a Shooter. These tags confuse people.

when someone queue dodges it should lock them in their position they dodged for the next game.

Good idea, I tried to queue casual conquest as a party of three, we had 3-4 dodges in a row and we gave up

or just increase the penalty, and every time they do it again increase it more and more
