Unfortunately, there may be times in our games where you will come across someone that is disruptive, cheating, or otherwise exhibiting bad conduct in-game. If this behavior is negatively affecting your time in SMITE, you can certainly report the offending player.
This guide will discuss what is and isn't reportable behavior, and take you step-by-step through the player reporting process.

How to Report a Player In-Game
Reporting players in-game is a simple process. After the match, follow the below steps:
From the Main Page, navigate to the Friends List tab at the bottom right of your screen. From here, you will be able to access a list of players you have met on the battlefield.
Once you have identified the offending player, you can click their name, then select the Report Player option from the menu that will appear on the right.
From here, you will have the chance to select a reason for the report, as well as provide a description of what happened. Try to be specific and concise in your description as each report we receive is human-reviewed before action is taken. Once this is completed, hit Send and our Toxicity Team will take further action if necessary.
If you missed the opportunity to report a player in-game and would still like to make a report, feel free to ask for additional assistance via our Help Chat button in the corner of your screen.
