Minority Mindset

The announcement that there will be no more seasonal updates to Suicide Squad indicates an end to the series, and many fans are interpreting this as a final farewell. Statements like “They’ve made it clear this game is over and support has ended” suggest a grim outlook for those who have enjoyed the villain-centric adventure. One user even described the game as being “on life support,” emphasizing the current bleakness of the situation. Although some fans still cling to hope, it’s fading rapidly, like a ninja in a dimly lit alley. In essence, it seems that our band of rogues won’t be receiving any further updates or new content. As one player lamented, “Without more seasons, there will be no more content for this game,” which is a tough pill to swallow for dedicated players. It’s a bitter truth that leaves a lingering, bittersweet taste.

When considering Batman, you’d probably imagine a somber character, often lurking in the shadows, biding his time for the perfect moment to deliver a witty remark or bring down a cunning villain. He embodies the classic image of a solitary figure who is always prepared to handle situations independently. A Reddit user succinctly put it, “It’s foolish not to realize that Batman isn’t the type to seek help from the league or anyone else.” This description truly captures his character. Batman operates by his own code, and while he might have the Galactic Avengers at his fingertips, the idea of self-reliance outweighs the thought of simply making a call for assistance.

In the Reddit thread that sparked this conversation, Dense-State4009 shared a disappointing story from a multiplayer game called Smite. The atmosphere was soured by a player named Ymir in the solo lane who, rather dramatically, threw a fit because he felt his team wasn’t playing well enough. Instead of providing helpful feedback, this individual chose to belittle his teammates, urging them to abandon the game. As Dense-State4009 pointed out, “Why do people like this keep bullying those who might be new players?” Regrettably, this isn’t a unique event but rather an indication of a widespread attitude within the Smite community that could potentially harm the future of Smite 2.

Imagine this scenario: You log into Smite, eager to unleash Ares’ fury as your chosen warrior. Your build is all prepared – but what could potentially spoil things? Quite a bit, it seems. Our new acquaintance, AlarmedPriority1325, ventured into the solo lane with high expectations and quick fingers. However, they were met by Hecate, who was equipped with formidable Aspect abilities. With each cast of Ares’ chains, Hecate retaliated with bombs, making their gameplay a challenging ordeal. They described it as being pummeled by tank items while Ares barely had a moment to breathe before the Achilles jungle minion dealt the decisive blow. “You can’t seem to catch a break,” they lamented, perfectly expressing the frustration that many feel after facing a stronger opponent in a match.

Among the recurring opinions expressed in comments is the criticism directed towards Hi-Rez Studios. To put it lightly, one user humorously described their actions as if they were “constantly shooting themselves in the foot, as if it’s an Olympic sport.” This notion of self-destructive decision-making has become a common topic in discussions about why games like Smite have struggled to maintain a strong player base. Hi-Rez often takes popular concepts and seemingly makes ill-timed mistakes that detract from their success. The downfall of Realm Royale offers a clear illustration—it gained popularity with big streamers, leading to increased viewership, but later saw a significant drop in viewers after Hi-Rez released wave after wave of questionable updates. Players believe this pattern adversely affects Smite, hindering its potential for growth even when it started off promisingly.

The excitement among Smite community members is palpable as they eagerly anticipate the introduction of specific skins in Smite 2. A user named immyamin expressed this anticipation vividly, saying “I need this skin in Smite 2 sooo badly already 😭😭.” This sentiment reflects the deep-rooted affection many players have for their virtual clothing options. These skins aren’t merely visual enhancements; they symbolize their gaming experiences, serving as badges of honor that remind them of triumphant battles, teamwork, and the occasional betrayal. As Sonickeyblade00 noted, players are not just looking forward to new visuals but also seeking fair treatment for cherished skins that have been previously promised. The emotional connection gamers form with these skins often transcends mere aesthetics; they become an integral part of their in-game identity.

Three well-known Twitch personalities were out in public during their extended ‘sisathon’ streaming event, when a man unexpectedly approached them. At one point, he threatened them by saying “I’m going to kill you right now,” having traced their location through the live broadcast and previously attempting to get Emiru’s phone number, which she declined.

Initially, the Sidemen Charity Match primarily featured UK-centric content creators. However, they extended invitations to some from beyond the UK as well. Over the course of several matches, these invitations expanded significantly.
