Would you play Smite on a Switch?

So the Switch is coming out soon (or if you couldn't get a pre-order then it'll be coming out in a month or two longer) so here is what i'm thinking. Would you play Smite on the Switch? But wait before you give a solidified opinion as i'll try to give a few reasons why it could be a good or a bad idea.

Well first off I guess I should put this out first but it's portable. Unlike most consoles it can be taken out on the go and play elsewhere. Sure with a 3 hour battery life it'll not be the longest play session, but with 3 hours you could play maybe 2-4 matches depending on how evenly the teams are or how many f7 warriors exist.

Now time for a detriment let's just say that since it is kind of a portable it's most likely weaker than the ps4/xbox1. Therefore it's not going to look very pretty. I'd imagine that the Switch could probably run Smite on low or maybe medium settings at 720p.

Switching from bad to good If you do take it out to the general population you can probably get into some interesting conversations about gods/monsters with people that know little. Except you'll probably have to clarify that Fenrir isn't a robot, Sobek isn't Godzilla, and that Jing Wei isn't some prepubescent teen.

Time for some more negatives. You'll need a smart phone for voice communication... However since no one in Smite even uses the curse voice chat it's not that terrible... Well the controllers may not be amazing, but hey at least it's better than the Vita and if you wanted to you could make that work (evidence: http://imgur.com/TBsBtBU) .

Now for the last good thing I can think of late at night within a few minutes, is that it can give another option. You can play it on a laptop, a desktop pc, xbox1, ps4, and having it on another console simply gives us more options, and having another mobile option could let people play Smite while on vacation or at a convention.

Now for the last bad thing I can think of kind of late at night. Nintendo may Encourage Hi-Rez to make use of some of the systems gimmicks. Would you like to waggle the joy cons in order to auto attack? Would like you like to feel anhur's spears leave his paws? as he throws them with the hd-rumble? Would you enjoy using the IR Sensor to... navigate menus by pointing your finger? So many odd things that Hi-Rez could do and we may have to suffer through the gimmicks!
