[2021] Interactions with Olympians

The fact that this behavior is only known because it resulted (indirectly or not) in a ban is problematic.

There is no question in mind that that clip wasn't representative of how any Smite player should act, let alone Olympians. I understand that frustration is a key element when playing Multiplayer games, but it is irresponsible and unfair to add to toxicity due to own, personal frustration. I'm sure that every member of the Olympian team is hardworking and dedicated to what they do, but just being an Olympian shouldn't give you a buffer for breaking Smite ToS. Ironically, by calling out another player that decided to fight back that, the streamer in question called out her behavior as well.

At the end of the day, this is something that shouldn't have happened in the first place. No streamer should be allowed to be flat-out toxic, no matter the way their teammates/opponents are. You're playing a game, and you can't change other people's behavior but you can decide how you behave when put in an unfair position. Apologizing is definitely a step in the right direction, but the fact that a post had to be made to even call it out is a problem. The streamer is only a human, just like everyone else, and everyone else makes mistakes as well, but this should not become a common theme.
