Smite Players Unite: The Troll Dilemma That’s Ruining Games
In the popular game Smite, it appears that trolling has reached an unprecedented level, causing a wave of disappointment among players as expressed on various forums. KingzDecay’s post sheds light on the problem: five consecutive games marred by players intentionally losing matches—this isn’t just a joke; it’s a genuine issue many players face. Similar sentiments are shared by user Deacon-Jones75, who reports that 70% of their games are affected by trolling in one form or another, be it purposeful misplaying or reckless charging into enemy territory. They claim this behavior significantly diminishes the gaming enjoyment and has driven them to explore other game titles. With the consequences being so severe, an important question arises: Why do players opt for trolling over constructive play? Is it due to boredom, dissatisfaction with game mechanics, or something else entirely?
