These Joust tournament games are the most boring, most terrible to watch games I've ever seen of high level Smite and it's not the players' fault. I'm glad Hi-Rez decided to self-own themselves and stream a Joust tournament alongside their most viewed event of the year. Finally people get to see how bad it really is in Joust.

Ive been comparing it to Soccer - there is a lot of tension at all times, and things happening but they dont result in points until rare instances. Its interesting if youve played joust and can empathsize with the players and anticipate the big plays. But if youre just looking for kills its not nearly as fun.
I think its been a cool contrast to show people how different modes of SMITE play, and how tactical the game can be even on a small map.
I also think the S8 changes we have planned will help mitigate the downsides we are currently seeing on this mode, we'll see!
Ill never stop loving joust, its almost as much a part of my brand as the ama hoodie lol
