The Bench Feature in Smite Assault: Why Players Are Unsatisfied
It appears that the team benching feature in Smite was initially designed to enhance the process of selecting gods. However, it has unexpectedly turned into a disorganized situation, as noted by MANJAROWOLF. The current system seems skewed because players can access gods not only based on their own decisions but also on the actions of others before they officially lock in their choices. This leads to intense and sometimes toxic competition among players to secure gods before their teammates have a chance to react. User ImaHornyEggrollToo expresses this frustration vividly, stating “I hope Hirez sees this post, because why is my god getting replaced when I didn’t initiate it?… The tank got taken away due to someone else? That doesn’t make any sense.” Many players feel their choices are being compromised by this faulty system, expressing a strong sense of dissatisfaction.
