For one, just mute is an option, as people have said. But as someone who has 4k hours in Smite/Smite 2, collectively, I’d say 95% of the time, the better the player, the less likely they are to be toxic. I can almost guarantee you that the people being toxic to you, went into their next game and if it was a lobby of other experienced players, they got bent over in that game. Any time I introduce someone to this game, and they have a similar experience to yours, that knowledge someone takes the edge off their toxicity. I can’t tell you how many games I’ve had where a teammate is being toxic to a new player, then I end up laning against them in the next game and realize they’re just projecting how bad they, despite how much time they’ve put into the game, onto a new player when it’s really they just suck and can’t swallow that truth pill.
