[2020] ProfessorLoki has quit Smite. Says constant harassment over the years for playing Loki as a major reason.

Anyone curious as to why:

Ajax basically said he wouldn't include split push or burst Loki and this likely is what made ProfLoki tilt. But Ajax also stated this was the goal to remove those elements from Loki at the start of his rekit. Ajax from what I'm aware of, also spoke to ProfLoki etc regarding his rekit to accommodate players like him at the start of Loki being addressed. But the facts must be said: Loki is now more popular than ever and is in most people's matches, being hailed as a unanimous success with more of a bruiser playstyle. But rather than actually coming along with all those new players to Loki or adapting towards Loki's new changes, ProfLoki quits.

I get people are invested in mains. I've been invested in a few that have been rekit before. But the thing is metas come and go, items change. Nothing is really set in stone regarding characters. There's always the opportunity to well, play some other character and latch onto that as well? Out of 106 or so gods, why just limit yourself to Loki or make Loki your brand? Most people I know say I'm unilaterally a Freya main but I don't limit myself to just Freya and I didn't quit Smite when she was rekit either. If I didn't enjoy it I just played something else.

The guy also looks too hard into Reddit. Reddit has its own opinions, ProfLoki also has his own community which some of us don't even have. He could have just pooled his own resources together with his fans and kept doing what he did to support Loki players but also branch out with other things like tutorials and so on e.g. what Intersect is doing.
