Why is this game so toxic?

[Bearmangg]

I played this game during the beta, really enjoyed it, but lacked Moba skills so dropped it for a bit. Went to HOTS until they killed the comp, then went back to League thinking it would be enjoyable. It was a toxic cesspool, ranked was impossible to climb because of the toxicity, so i thought hey, why not go back to Smite.

Wow, this place makes League look like a girl scout convention. Seriously, why is it that EVERY game theres some form of troll? Whether its someone not playing their designated role, stealing jungle mobs at start of game, AFKing or jumping around and refusing to fight their lane opponent/participating in team fights.

What is it about Smite that attracts these types of people? Why is it that HiRez does nothing to punish these players? Ban, then hardware ban them. Do SOMETHING. It completely ruins the game for others who are trying to actually enjoy the game. Its making me reconsider playing this game, and judging by other forum posts, it seems plenty of others have already done so.

Update: Uninstalled. Literally the worst community I've ever had the displeasure of playing with. Nothing but trolls.

It is not Smite, it is MOBAs in general, this one especially since last year.

If I do afk, its because my teammates are more interested in beating each other over the head with "i got more kills than u" rather than pushing the tower. they will ignore the tower completely, but drop everything in a moments notice to chase a kill they arent even guaranteed to secure anyways, all so they can get +1 for thier K/D/A "Im better than u" pissing contest.

Meanwhile people like me who DONT chase every single kill that happens to show up (only the ones who stand between me and the tower) are told to "stfu" and "ur just salty cus u got no kills" or "U just suk at the game, look at ur kills"
Meanwhile the enemy team is dropping our towers like people arent even there, and me trying to defend the tower is labeled as "inting"

So If My team is NOT interested in playing an OBJECTIVE based game and only cares about who's kda turd is more polished....I am more than happy to leave them to their loss and go do something better with my time sinse they clearly didnt come to play a game.
My time is precious. If people didnt come to play a conquest/joust match and are only interested in a TDM competition, then Their kdas will both be EQUALLY WORTHLESS when the team Loses. You dont get bragging rights for having "most kills" in a defeat.

Well, i am playing smite for 3 years i think. community never has been so toxic. I'm wondering if hirez can do something about it? just ban the people who are toxic. Let em play i don't mind that but just ban them from chat.
I'm gonna quit the game if this continues i think.

Because this generation is a doom of the this world. Because ignorance and arrogance is being promoted every single day through TV/Music. When people watch and listen this every day they can't tell anymore from right and wrong. It's a desensitization on a mass scale and it's very easy to see the impact and effect it has on people today. Everyone thinks they are most important and everyone does not want to put any effort. Once in a while you still get a soul that is still lost and separated from the programmed kids club.

Banning people does absolutely nothing. create new email account, create new account and off you go again. Sophisticated vac ban/ ip ban would solve the issue. since they would not be able to create a new account. Although not sure how you detect someone using VPN.

I think it's all about the Surrender button that makes MOBAs in general toxic. 1/4 QM matches are actually matches, 3/4 are surrendered . Meaning I have to play for 2 -3 hours before getting ONE good match against people. Surrender makes all the time of multiple matches a comlpete waste of time , just to some loser can try to save 10 minutes on a match. So I spend all my time in VS AI because that's the only way I can see end game and then when the toxic team mates disconnect rage quitting after dying ONCE , the Computer also disconnects a player giving me a decent game experience still. 2v2 3 lane maps are long, but SOOOOOOO much more fun than surrender spam or the disappoint of popping off to see the enemy surrender at the first sign of challenge.
