Hirez's Smite department are doing a pretty poor job.

This whole season has been a shitshow and not only for Smite (let's not forget the infamous Paladins OB44 - essence system, Barik disabled). Hi-Rez ignores early feedback, rushes out content regardless, then we have a shitstorm on forums after it's on live servers and then they start fixing stuff. It's quantity over quality.

Let's start with SWC - great time to get new players. New Clash map and celtic pantheon get announced. Now what happens? The Morrigan goes live after like few days on PTS and starts Season 4 with the buggiest god release ever. Clash despite being on PTS for a month comes out unbalanced with Apophis squishy as hell and phoenixes weaker than a tower. Console patches are always delayed more than they were supposed to. Now we get the EAC and server roll ups on top of all the everlasting problems like server stability, exclusive stuff and other smaller issues/bugs that never get adressed or take a year to fix. There's a new thing to bitch about everyday like the game is still in beta. And instead of taking care of those things we get more things that create even more problems.
