Ever scrolled through your favorite gaming forum and found a question that stirs the pot? Such is the case with this particular post in the Smite community, which posed a simple yet divisive question: ‘What’s the most boring game mode according to you?’

Summary

  • Many players find the ‘conquest’ game mode lackluster due to its length and perceived monotony.
  • ‘Assault’ mode also garnered similar responses, with some players feeling it lacks strategic depth.
  • Interestingly, a few players cited ‘arena mode’ as the least engaging, despite its popularity.
  • Some players enjoy certain elements of unpredictability or chaotic fun associated with certain modes.

Love-Hate Relationship with Conquest

More than a handful of players expressed their dissatisfaction with the ‘Conquest’ mode. For example, user epihfon2 succinctly stated their opinion pointing out that ‘Conquest’ was the most boring. A sentiment echoed by CaptFatz who added that it ‘…takes too long.’ These responses hint at the pace and length of the game mode being potential deterrents for enjoyment.

The Debate: Arena vs. Others

The ‘Arena’ mode drew noticeably polarized opinions. Some players hailed it as the most engaging mode, while others found it monotonous. For instance, user Camaelburn expressed that they understand why people enjoy ‘Arena’, but it fails to appeal to them because they prefer strategic gameplay. Such opinions highlight the diversity of player preferences in Smite’s player base.

The Joy in Chaos

The quirkiness of ‘infinite assault’, an unconventional game mode, was highlighted by user O-bot54. They described this mode as ‘a masterpiece’, particularly when playing in a stack, sparking a sense of camaraderie. This one demonstrates the unpredictability and hilarity that can often make for memorable gaming experiences.
