>>164031925
What builds do you use? Which one has the best dps with the weird basics?

>>164033660
Warrior Tabi, Ichival, Bloodforge, Qin's, Malice, Wind Demon, sell Ich for Titan's / DeathBringer.
Or
Warrior Tabi, Ichival, Bloodforge, Qin's, Titan's, Brawler's / Crusher, sell Ich for Odysseus

>>164033954
Bloodforge is quite expensive, should i get Asi and then sell it later in the game for Bloodforge or is the power spike worth it?

>>164034165
Bloodforge is essentially a much better replacement to Asi that works very well with Izanami's core kit, (you get a shield while still retaining your percent penetration at low health, you get a LOT of raw power which works with her scalings great, and you by default have life steal) so I would rather wait for it and see a huge power spike then get Asi, it doesn't really do much for her that it wouldn't on another hunter.

To anyone who gives a hoot, I purchased the Season Ticket when it was on sale in November and said I was going to complete it before it ended. I am currently a little over the SWK skin (a bit over 10k FP), it doesn't look like i'm gonna unlock the Gryfindwarf skin if there's any double/triple FP weekends.

>>164042457
Nope, you're pretty much screwed.

Join the club, I was planning on playing some ranked but just feel completely burned out by now.

Question guys and gals. Under the weather and can't think right now. Saw on the FB page that people are buying the sale gems and competing the Odyssey stuff? How does Gems complete it all and you get Anubis?

So, no 3.25 patch review today but next week or what?

>>164046123
By buying everything.

>>164046951
So pretty much dropping 66 bucks and purchasing it all to Anubis?

>>164047140

Yeah, you can buy all of the odyssey shit and get the T5. You can also do those quests and get points, I think you can skip out buying 7 things if you do every single quest.

>>164047140
Sure why not?

>>164047225
I started damn near the end and am at 14k in points right now. Would love to get the skin.

hey I'm a 1500 hour dota player looking for a 3D game and I installed smite. Is it fun?
How similar is it to dota? which heroes are the meepo and alchemist of smite?

>>164053631
It's shit.

>>164053670
can't be more shit than dota7.01.
Our game is dying because they killed farming and creeping. I'm a carry player and I'm jumping ship from /d2g/. Tell me what similarities and differences there are compared to dota here

>>164053849
I'd gladly help, but I'm no DOTA player. It's a bad time to ask questions though, because in a couple weeks they're going to introduce the next season which will bring most likely a fair amount of changes.

>>164055265
alright

>>164053631
>meepo and alchemist
Tell us what they do and we'll better able to explain.

>>164055570
meepo has 4 clones of himself that are almost as strong as him. If one clone dies, they all die. They also get most item bonuses.

Alchemist gets extra gold for every creep he kills and has an ultimate ability that gives him tons of regen. He's the fastest gold earner in the game

>>164053631
It has some similarities but not a lot, it's a little more similar to league. It has all the moba shit, like the map, roles and mechanics, ti think the main difference i think is the fast paced combat and how it's less based on numbers and more on mechanics/positioning/etc , since you have to aim everything.

>>164055839
so as long as you land your abilities, you will mostly win even against unfavorable match-ups?

>>164053849
Smite is currently a DOTA 2-lite in my opinion. Initially the game was more like an early LoL or something, but the devs have been pushing the game further and further towards a weird hybrid between the two, with the direction heading towards nuttier and more grandiose effects like you would find in a game of DOTA. I am not extremely experienced in either of the other two games and most of my knowledge comes from reading about both, so bear with me:

Differences
>No camp stacking / creep aggro on camps is impractical
>Gold Fury / Fire Giant bosses, LoL style

>Creeps give you reduced gold if you did not last hit (you must either have hit them recently or be near to receive this reward)
Because you can tag creeps and walk away if something else kills them and receive a partial reward, junglers and tanks may tag your wave and walk away

>Lack of DOTA 2 level hard carries
Nobody in Smite measures up to the level of straight 1v5 destruction that you can find in DOTA 2. ADCs (the Smite version of DOTA 2 carries) obviously will have the highest damage, but they're all essentially right click (these are called AAs and basic attacks in Smite) oriented. Hardest carrying gods in Smite when they hit late game are probably Chronos, Freya, and Jing Wei, but they can't pop off and kill everybody on their own usually.

>Melee carries are not viable
In a similar vein with the last statement, current game design makes it very hard for melee gods with a tendency towards basic attacks to act as AD carries.

>Lane phase / game starts
Laning in Smite is a lot more static than in DOTA 2, where you can design a team with varying strategies. Smite has lately been a long lane duo, mid mage + jungler pairing, and 1v1 short lane. After a brief period at the start, tank supports tend to move towards mid lane and short (solo) lane to pressure the map and contest early farming objectives with the midlane mage and jungler.

>>164036747
this feels like it should have been her base design

>>164053631
Smite is non-competitive at the moment, zero reason to get into it unless there's a massive overhaul in season 4, which is highly unlikely due to how hi-rez has been marketing the game lately.
Just play Paragon if your PC can handle it, if not just stick with dota. Unless you're looking for a casual fuck-around game, Smite is ded.
Garbage matchmaking due to 80 modes, shit dev team only focused on selling skins, pathetic dying e-sports scene that all of the most known sponsors dropped once they realized hi-rez was taking smite nowhere, etc.

>>164057141

>Spell usage
A lot of the time, spell usage is predictably similar to other MOBA games, but in lane people will rely on spells to kill waves and secure pressure for themselves. Some gods will use basic attacks in conjunction with their spells, but you should be able to figure this out. This is more comparable to LoL, but Smite laning tends to be more passive, with the exception being the solo lane.

>Itemization
You're going to find this strange perhaps, but itemization in Smite relatively unique. You will find similarities to League in item designation and structure, but unlike both League and DOTA 2, Smite items are upgraded instead of combined, so your build order should be based on the optimization of stats when your items are completed, as opposed to DOTA 2 where you grab basic core items, but you're more flexible to adapt based on the situation. There are less effects on items than in DOTA, and there are no active items that modify stats. We have what is basically a ripoff of the old LoL trinket system called Relics right now, for active items.

I doubt I covered everything, but this is all that comes to mind for differences right now. The game, as I said, is more of a strange hybrid than anything.

>>164057921
>>164058468

The similarities to DOTA 2 are similar on a more basic level

>Creep damage
If you hit an enemy and draw creep aggro, they will fuck you up unless you have built defense, and usually Mark of the Vanguard (which is picked up as a starter by some solo laners and as an early bridge item by supports).

>Farm centric midlane
Controlling midlane in Smite means you control most of the farm on the map, much like DOTA. The difference here is that the player presence in Smite mid tends to be consistently higher as opposed to DOTA 2 during the lane phase.

>Skillshots
This is a weird case as Smite teamfighting is mechanically different, and it lacks the carries of DOTA 2, but I believe you'll find some comfort in the level of mechanical skill required in Smite teamfights. It's primarily based on skillshots, but ultimately I find that execution in both Smite and DOTA 2 tends to be the biggest deciding factor in fights. The mechanics are different and you may even find them to be a bit easier than DOTA 2, but the concept is the same.

I'm out of things to think of for now, probably because I haven't played much DOTA 2, but if you have any specific questions, ask away.

>>164058584
>>164058146
Don't buy the "Smite is ded" meme. Smite has significant issues, but the devs just seem slow to react to said problems. I'm holding out because their intentions seem to coincide with the players' wishes to keep the game competitive. People bitch about Overwatch, for example, but the game is still growing. My recommendation is if you're interested, play, and if you don't like it, leave. Develop your own opinion.

Why aren't you playing PARAGON right now?

>>164059978
I didn't say smite was dead, I just said paragon is a better game and it's only in open beta

>>164058810
There's no point in trying to play around lockers who ignore calls, clearly they don't give a fuck about the team comp so why should you? (I'm assuming you're playing casual)

I'm PS4 so last time I said this someone said they'd get banned for being toxic, which may be a thing on PC but I don't think bans are even on PS4, the report system is just there so you can message people that you told on them or create funny screenshots now that you can add a comment to the report, such as tactfully pointing out a Kuku building fatalis and demonic grip (which I kinda want to try now but not in a serious mode).

>>164060265
Cause it seems to be more about "muh good graphics" than anything else.

>>164060291
Well, I think everyone agrees at this point that having modified Trueskill for matchmaking is fucking retarded, especially when mixed with a point based division system because the two forms of rating counteract each other and try to normalize players as opposed to giving them proper fucking rated matches.

>>164053631

>Is it fun?

You'll get mixed results here and you're better off coming to your own conclusion through playing it.


>How similar is it to DotA?

Ehh, about as similar as MOBAS can get. SMITE's 3rd person view and skillshot abilities might be your thing. You get a trinket which makes it kinda like you get a free tp scroll so that's pretty cool.

>Which gods are the meepo/alchemist of SMITE?

There are no direct translations but every god is viable once you git gud, and who's top pick/ban depends on the meta. A vague answer but it's a hard question to answer.

Predictions for SWC?

>>164059978
If this was 2 years ago then I could agree, but now? Nah. Smite is a joke. Same Conquest meta for nearly 2 years now. Hi-Rez doesn't give a fuck about keeping this game competitive and haven't for a while now. They throw in worthwhile balance updates every now and then but these days its skins, skins, skins, and casual pandering. That's all it's been since the middle of season 2. There's just no reason to play Smite if you're someone looking for a competitive game. Smite is no longer a MOBA, it's just a casual fuckfest to play on the side.

>>164060838
Team TBD to win the championship

>>164060838
I wonder how low SWC views will be this year

Hi-Rez are going to have to shill a lot of those memecodes they love pushing to force the casuals to watch if they don't want their world championship to have HoN levels of views.

>>164047760
they add up pretty quickly

>>164061183

I know this is bait but you got me.


>Same meta for 2 years

What do you mean by "same meta"? Like the same gods being picked or 1 of each class played in its intended role? If it's the former, there's still a variety of gods getting picked even in ranked & out of meta picks wouldn't be common because of them being out of meta. If it's the latter then it's the same as above. There's still a variety of different gods being played in each role even in ranked, and even then you can play any god in its intended role. 1 of each class in it's intended role is picked because it works, and it's the most consistent to win with.


>"worthwhile" balance updates but now it's casual pandering

You're gonna have to specify/provide some examples otherwise I'll just assume you're some gold rank shitter who's mad because you can't pubstomp with the newest gods months after release.

If you think Chiron is bad wait until you see her bad but in a different way counterpart Chiron.

>>164065948

He's overstating things by not choosing his words carefully but his sentiment is correctly placed.

Is Xbalanque the worst hunter in the game?

>>164066914
No, because his ultimate is strong and late game gods will always have a shot at being relevant.

>>164066914

Him and Rama and Jing are the best lategame hunters. I'd say the worst hunter is actually AMC or Cupid. They're not bad, just the weakest of the hunters imo.

>>164069791
AMC with nikes speed buff, warrior tabi, speed buff and his hive movement speed is fucking awesome. Unrelated but awesome

Would bringing back side jungles make conquest better? Why were they removed in the first place?

>>164067079
>late game gods will always have a shot at being relevant.

Only if they actually have a way of getting to the late game decently enough. there's a reason Xbal is way more usable then Artemis

>>164064351
The meta has literally been jungle + mid = one role for 2 years. They literally, for 2 years, still have not adjusted bumbas mask or made any kind of meaningful change to jungle xp to reward solo jungling and bring the role back. It has been handcuff yourself to the mid laner, soak lanes and roam because anything else is less efficient.

As a result, nearly every lane is the same. Supports are basically forced to fuck off and go roaming 5 minutes in, carries are just left alone to farm until someone ganks them.
Solo lane is solo lane, except it's not, because it's not uncommon to be ganked by the fucking support + jungle and mid because roaming everywhere 5 minutes in is completely ok.

Not having a stable jungle role has kept the conquest meta shit for so long now it's laughable. Pro games are all clown fiestas with 2 roaming gank squads all game.

>You're gonna have to specify/provide some examples

Find me one significant conquest map change, matchmaking adjustment or any sort of God mechanic or gameplay mechanic change(meaning not just cooldowns or numbers), beyond the initial season 3 stuff that failed miserably to change the game map.

You'll find plenty of patches with 5+ skins, emotes, and useless achievements along with the usual "we reduced x cooldown and increased y cooldown for balance".

>>164071563
I didn't say how much of a shot, but I do agree that Xbalanque has an easier time reaching late game than Artemis, for example. Having a CC immune dash that goes a reasonable distance helps, even if it's somewhat predictable.

>>164072235
>S3 map changes failed miserably
In hindsight they helped game balance a fuckton at the cost of relegating junglers to a 2nd support, but the meta it created was actually way more fun than it is now because it allowed for more creative team comps and starts

>>164066836
But the thing is I disagree with what I presume >>164061183 sentiments are, which is reflected in their choice of words. If by meta they mean 1 - 1 - 2 + jung we've had that going for a lot longer than 2 years. Hell even when warrior mid/ADC mid was a thing it was very short lived, and is STILL picked although rarely. Same thing with with out of meta picks.

If it was the same gods being picked for each role, there are picks/bans in ranked to stop playing with or against certain gods, and even then the pool is still large enough to maintain a variety. Though this part is just my opnion, not every god has to be good or top tier but they must be viable and they are viable.

But >>164061183 didn't elaborate on HOW it's being casualized. I agree that HiRez is spreading itself too thin by working on other games and not getting rid of half the gamemodes (Joust and Siege need to go like domination did imo) , but HOW does this make the game casual?

Like I don't need an essay, just an explanation that's consistent.

>>164072829
Joust should stay, but the current map is bad.
Siege should go,

>>164072829
>>164072235

Lmao foot in mouth syndrome.


>adjust bumba's mask to reward solo jungling

Why would you want that? The reward for soloing jungle camps is getting all the gold + xp. Like yeah you don't want to if you can help it, but how would it be improved if we added a solo reward or replaced the last hit reward with a solo reward?

If we added a solo reward, and assuming it wasn't a broken reward, it would still be more efficient to share camps for the laner as well as you, and if you solo'd you'd just make junglers come online faster (which isn't necessarily bad but if junglers get fed too quickly on camps alone you could break the role).

If we replaced bumba's passive to have a solo reward, you just make junglers have no incentive to clear with people, potentially keeping laners in lane for longer with no means to punish overextending. I mean there's also less chance to snowball but it makes the laning phase much more passive than it needs to be if junglers don't have much incentive to show up in lane and provide pressure.


>No you find me proof

1. The burden of proof is on the one making the claim, fagboi. And on top of that I asked how it's "casual pandering". I know you're trying to misdirect the argument, but that's not going to work.

2. Reducing/increasing cooldowns doesn't count as significant changes now? Then what arbitrary quality does? They can only change cooldowns, damage numbers and mana costs without rekitting the god or changing item stats to indirectly buff/nerf gods. Also I'm pretty sure damage numbers have been modified in hotfixes shortly after a gods release.

>>164074854
>Adjusting numbers are significant game changes
Okay I've been following you two guys and he was perfectly fine in stating that numbers adjustments are not major. They can affect what gods are played but it isn't going to affect things usually like starts or how people line up their lanes.

>>164076642

Fair enough, but when you add semantical shit like "worthwhile", "significant" and "meaningful" the idea that's proposed becomes ambiguous and especially if no criteria are stated.

Let's take Solobek for an example. his laning phase was awful and relied really heavily on early aggresion (he still does, but much less so), but since his mana cost reduction he has much more sustain in lane and thus is much easier to solo with rather than being a straight counterpick.

There's also post-rekit Ravana patches to fuck around with the cooldown of his 1 so now he doesn't decimate non-guardians as bad.

There are also insignificant changes like Fenrir's lifesteal on his 2 being 30% base on all levels now, but it still won't be leveled.

Also, as you said it affects what gods might be played, and since half of the laning phase is about matchups, I'd say they can be very significant. It just depends on what is changed and calling them all insignificant is just ignoring the nuances of laning imo.

I play Loki unironically

>>164078102

9/10 players in every match hate the fact that Loki is played.

>>164074854
>but how would it be improved if we added a solo reward or replaced the last hit reward with a solo reward?

It's not about adding an actual reward as much as it's about giving the jungler appropriate xp/gold so they can jungle by themselves and keep up with everyone. Remove the shared xp bonus, thereby removing the incentive to split jungle camps. Replace that with a 10-15% increase in xp/gold when you solo a camp. This stops the follow-me-around meta because it would be a waste of time for both parties(jungle gets less xp, laner would be better off in lane).

>you just make junglers have no incentive to clear with people
Which doesn't need to happen.

>with no means to punish overextending
Complete nonsense. Why do you think a jungler can't gank?

>The burden of proof is on the one making the claim
You asked for an example. I said to find me a significant change. That's your fucking example, the point is you can't, because there hasn't been any outside of the initial season 3 shit and a few very specific incidents(removal of golden bow for example). I wasn't actually telling you to go sift through 50 patch notes. It's obvious just by the meta that nothing significant has been done.


>Then what arbitrary quality does?
Do you play other mobas? Have you ever seen a dota 2 patch? Not even the recent one, but just look at past dota patches. They're absolutely huge. The heroes don't get just 1 or 2 numbers changed, and the items sometimes see big changes. You also don't have to rework a god completely to change how an ability mechanic works.
Hi-Rez rarely, if ever makes adjustments that would really alter the meta. Not just the bumbas thing, but imagine a change like making minions spawn earlier before jungle camps. Something simple like that makes a huge difference on meta.

>It's not about giving a reward it's about giving junglers more for doing something different

You just said the same proposal albeit in different words. It IS about giving them an incentive for soloing camps by rewarding them for doing so. You've done nothing but just re-state your ideas. WHY would it be good to remove the "follow-me-around" meta? WHY does it need to be changed and how would it be better?


>you just make junglers have no incentive to clear with people
>Which doesn't need to happen.

You're not always going to clear camps with other people, you just do it because it's more efficient. The question I've asked is why change it? Why remove the option? The reward for soloing a camp is the extra xp & gold from soloing the camps but you don't have to. It depends.


>Complete nonsense. Why do you think a jungler can't gank?

I never said a jungler can't gank if we changed bumba's nor do I hold that position. What I stated was that it's conducive for junglers to be too far away doing camps to farm efficiently when they could be in lane providing lane pressure and incentive to not aggress then have the time to split the camp later.


>You asked for an example. I said to find me a significant change. That's your fucking example, the point is you can't

You not only just contradicted yourself, you tried to evade the burden of proof and you misdirected the argument AGAIN. You still haven't answered my question as to how these changes are "casual pandering".


>Do you play other mobas? Have you ever seen a dota 2 patch?

You keep misdirecting the argument instead of answering my questions. I don't care how DotA2 patches are compared to SMITE because that's not what I asked. A lot of your argument depends on what a "significant" change means to the meta because you've drawn no line as to what makes a significant change. If a change makes a certain gods played more/less, that affects the likelihood of matchups, and that's big in the laning phase.

Then Ra would be stupid OP then solely because the fact that inbetween waves he can still follow his jungler and heal him doing camps from a far distance and his jungler would now have a huge xp boost and health advantage.

>>164080363
>WHY does it need to be changed and how would it be better?

Are you actually retarded? By changing the junglers you change the meta. It's not about it being inherently better, it's about it not being stale and boring. Mid lane becomes more 1v1 focused, solo lane doesn't have to worry about 3/4 man ganks as often, and duo lane becomes an actual 2v2 lane, not a 1v1 after 5 minutes.
Whether or not it's better would depend on it actually be implemented, but it's already better in the sense that it isn't the same shit.
You, just like Hi-Rez, clearly don't understand that keeping a game in the same state is killing it. This is actually the same logic Hi-Rez applied to tribes with "We feel the game is complete" nonsense as a reason for not adding more content/changes.


>You're not always going to clear camps with other people, you just do it because it's more efficient.

Yeah no fucking shit you idiot. So efficient it's been the center of the meta for so long.

>b-but why!
Again, the answer is because it's different. It's changing the meta. That's why.

>What I stated was that it's conducive for junglers to be too far away doing camps to farm efficiently when they could be in lane providing lane pressure and incentive to not aggress then have the time to split the camp later.

And this right here is the problem with how you're thinking about this entire argument. You're clearly inexperienced with other mobas and view Smite's current meta as some sort of baseline. You don't realize that Smite's insanely predictable rotations and 'lane pressure' is fucking boring as shit. It gives no room for freedom at all, because anything you do outside of that will be inefficient. You don't understand how that's a bad thing, and it fucking baffles me.

>>164080363
>You keep misdirecting the argument instead of answering my questions. I don't care how DotA2 patches are compared to SMITE because that's not what I asked. A lot of your argument depends on what a "significant" change means to the meta because you've drawn no line as to what makes a significant change.

but I have, multiple times

>If a change makes a certain gods played more/less, that affects the likelihood of matchups, and that's big in the laning phase.

That's not significant change.

Changing xp/gold sharing with bumbas, making minions spawn in before jungle camps spawn, altering camp spawn times differently, etc. Any of those changes would alter the meta significantly.

Complete sameness?
Shitting on supports?

So, your argument is boiled down into:


1. SMITE's meta is stale

2. Stale metas are kill off some of the playerbase

3. Changing the jungle/map changes the meta in a significant way

4. Changing Bumba's mask's passive changes the way jungle farm is prioritized

Therefore,

4. SMITE should make adjustments to change the meta by changing bumba's mask (and possibly the map).


You know, instead of getting angry, re-stating your ideas instead of relying on logic or evidence, evading the burden of proof, throwing straw mans at me and refuting points I never made, you could've just said this in one post instead of using several poorly constructed arguments.

I'm still perfectly fine with how the meta is atm, but I understand you now.

>>164091214
I wish Arena wasn't designed so badly

The way it is right now it only lives up to its CONSTANT FIGHTING motif if at least 1 team is extremely bad and willing to venture across the map for no reason

They literally failed to make any reason to leave the immediate area around your portal because theres nothing in the middle of the map worth fighting over, buffs are largely meaningless since they aren't worth tickets or a meaningful amount of XP/money, and even if you're up by the enemy portal you'll never push a minion in because several gods can clear them literally WITHIN the fountain

There should be a control point in the middle you fight over or something, just anything to make fighting worth it

I'm not a part of the original discussion, but I kind of have to agree that the current meta is unabashedly stale. A meta, by definition, is using the most efficient Gods and building items in the most efficient manner. Hi-Rez has this extremely redundant design philosophy where they think they can fix a stale meta by buffing and de-buffing items, and this is most predominantly seen with ADC builds.

For example, Heartseeker and Draining Blade got nerfed so they switched to Qin's Sais. Once the life-steal was removed from that, they went Devourer's Gauntlet's. That got hit with a nerf so they started building Transcendence and Asi. When they buffed Soul Eater, that became the staple. Once that got nerfed, Devourer's Gauntlet's became the favourite again. When that item got changed, we saw Golden Bow and Asi; and now that Golden Bow has been removed we're seeing yet another resurgence of Devourer's Gauntlet. Hi-Rez seems to mitigate long-term problems with temporarily solutions rather than developing solutions to said long-term problems.

Gods, too, oft receive the same treatment, though to a lesser extent. If a god is over-performing, it gets slapped with a nerf (see: Khepri, etc.); and if a god is under-performing, they get a buff. Instead of looking at the overall balance of the game and making EVERY god balanced, some become too powerful which creates the foundation of Smite's meta. Professional players utilize the most powerful team compositions at any one time to beat out another, and that's how Hi-Rez solidifies its "meta".

As the previous anon stated, the Jungle meta is awfully snow-bally, if that makes sense. Once one jungler becomes more powerful than another without fucking up and throwing then they dominate the pace of the game early-to-mid. Success and swiftness of rotations, buff distribution and lane pressure all comes down to how much more farmed your jungler becomes. This needs to be changed somehow or at least looked at during Season 4.

>>164091842
Would you like to see more laning strats, like how DOTA can see 1-1-3 lanes? Wouls you like to see a jungle with more solo xp to keep assassins in the jungle farming, before rotating out for a bigger gank?

>>164094427
I am by no means an expert on game-play mechanics from a designer perspective, so my judgement is limited. I'd honestly like to see more diverse lane strategies; even if it's 1-1-3 or something ridiculous like double mid or double jungle, it doesn't matter. I'd like to see something more complex and see people react and adapt to these kinds of changes, and the most important thing is that lane methods like that have to be viable.

Viability plays an important part in what Hi-Rez deems its 'meta', and in order to achieve true balance every God must be viable in the sense that no one God is stronger than another. I'm of the opinion that a feat like that is impossible because I can't think of any way to determine balance aside from player skill. Player skill, in turn, is so variable and versatile that no matter what you try and do to a God's numbers there's always going to be a better or luckier player.

In order to balance that aspect out, Hi-Rez needs to stop with all these bloated kits. From memory, the last 5-or-so Gods have had extensively bloated kits that can dish out either too much CC (i.e., Fafnir) too much damage (i.e., Erlang Shen), too much utility (i.e., Terra) or too much mobility (i.e., Susanoo). Then we get gods that are under-powered upon release such as Thoth or Camaztoz and then Hi-Rez increase his numbers too much in response. These need to stop and be looked at on a fundamental level to achieve a step towards proper balance.

I took your questions to a different place and I apologize for that. I just feel it's important to give context to what I'm saying. So to answer your questions: yes, I would. Diversity and versatility are two things sorely lacking in Smite's Conquest meta to give it any distinct flavour. I'd like to see different strategies like you suggested and I'd like to see them work effectively but not have them be better than any other type of meta.

Freya's cock.

You've also simplified my argument, but it's probably for the best, considering your disability.

Either way, everything I discussed still aligned with my original point that the game has become a casual cesspool. I never changed the core of my argument.
If Hi-Rez wasn't gearing this game towards casuals we would have had meta changes long ago.

Anyone looking for a good MOBA should look elsewhere.

SMITE LOL, I didn't know there were enough 10 year old Mexican beaner faggots on 4chan to start a Smite clan. You know you get what you pay for, and this game is kind of like a pile of steaming homeless man's shit in a cardboard box on the sidewalk: free! Spend a little money and play a game that wasn't programmed by an autistic Georgia hillbillies. Plus the CEO of HiRez is a fucking Jew, I didn't even know they had hillbilly Jews, seems like kind of a contradiction. If you like Russian hackers like the one that picked the American president, then this game might be for you though, there are plenty of them playing from their mothers' basements with the curtains drawn on their pasty flabby white skin.

Not really. You should try to get the waves, but all solo laners in one way or another have great utility in Ultimates that help for team fighting, so you should rotate when they do, or push the wave first, then go.

Athena's kit isn't bloated but she's like the best support in the game. You have to make a guardian broke as fuck to compete against her and even that doesn't really work because they'll been nerfed to below her level.

I'd argue that Athena and, to a lesser extent, Thor are exceptions to the room but I lack the proper facts to back up such a claim. Instead, I will theorize that if Hi-Rez focused on what made the likes of Athena and Thor such consistent picks while not having bloated kits, and then applied that to new gods we'd see less monstrosities such as release Bellona. Granted, that's just one example, and I'm sure most of us remember release Guan Yu.

My main issue with the concept of bloated kits has to do with the concept of making every God viable, at least on a competitive level. If Hi-Rez approached each new mage with the design philosophy of Ra or Agni, then by all rights that God should be useful without being bloated or over-powered. But this is just baseless conjecture and the only reason I use such an example is because Ra and Agni have not been touched in the longest time.

So where does the issue with bloated kits come into play? I would hazard a guess to say that it is because of a term coined as 'power creep'. Hi-Rez releases new Gods with more-and-more powerful kits that can out-perform other/older Gods. This, in turn, creates a steady flow of incrementally more powerful Gods with even stronger capabilities. The exception to this rule is when an under-powered God is release (i.e., Thoth) and when that occurs their numbers are adjusted to make them more 'viable'.

My argument is to stop making power creep worse than it already is by focusing on what made older Gods great and apply that philosophy when designing new Gods. This would be a step in the right direction to making Smite more properly balanced.

>>164183701
Release Guan yu had bloated numbers.

For you case of Ra and Agni it's more Ra and Janus. Both are have immense utility and damage but how they do so widely varies. Thor, Ra JanusAthena don't seem bloated but it's rather the points they have are much more deeper: quality vs quantity.

With enough sustain and crowd control anyone that tries to tower dive you is fucked, whereas I try that in support and the carry is backing by t2. And god forbid the support ever leave the duo lane, when I rotate as support everyone spams help duo lane and when I play carry the support is on my nuts for a month and a half.

Getting better at jungle but the only times I get to play it are when it's the rare role left open and then everyone constantly wants me to gank so I get no farm.

Then you should buy a proper pc instead of using a shitty laptop you stole from a latinamerican public school.

I'm not sure why I even bother solo queing conquest on console. I finally ragequit for the first time in months after the fourth game in a row of retarded carries, everyone overextending, and me the only one warding and thus the only one noticing that the other team took gold fury like eight times. The other team is teamfighting us at our phoenixes with three of our people split pushing or taking buff camps, you throw up three surrender votes and two fucktards vote no because integrity or some shit.

Literally the only thing that keeps me coming back to this game is that I've spent almost a hundred dollars on it and most of my friends play it.

I am in a bit of a different situation, all my friends play it but they get frustrated all the time so I unironically prefer solo queue. Don't get stuck in the sunk cost fallacy like they do, you'll just end up spending more money over time and waste more hours on something you don't enjoy.

I don't get it guys. Every time I play another assassin against Loki or Merc they one shot me and I've tried playing tons of assassins but they're never able to get those two down in one or two shots so I'm always their bitch. I build tons of power on my builds as well as crit and I've seen all the videos but time and time again I'll box those two and we will both land a punch and while mine taks maybe 1/4 of their health I'm literally 404 instantly and don't even get me started on Ao Kuang. That fuck literally has zero chance at beating a mercury or Loki and I guarantee you'll all say hurrr durrr I do it all the time when you really probably haven't. There is no fucking way you'll ever even come close to taking half of their health before you're dead. I'd bet $1000 that I could beat any pro at this game with mercury if he played Ao kaung because that's how pathetic that god is. I'm so mad right now because I know for a fact I could have beaten those idiots if I actually played Hel but I'm an idiot and always end up being Mercuries bitch because I almost never pick her when the other team picks a merc or Loki!

Also when are they going to give Hel a buff! She's needs a buff because it's not fair that she's almost always getting the short end of the stick when it comes to being a viable god in this game and I'm tired of it!

Honestly would it kill them! Would it kill them to do their job and finally fix Hel! Her gold skin isn't even right because the legendary has fucking blue in it! They literally don't care about her because they're free focusing all their time on making sure other gods are overpowered when they should be focusing on her!

I don't get why her whole body has to be gold/diamond anyways. I'm so mad right now because they could have done so much with her and it's easy things but I swear that ever god in the damn game had somebody working on them and Hel is just the sub character that they send the new guys to come up with ideas for because she's always getting messed with and getting made worse and worse. Her skin doesn't need to be gold/diamond in her outfits! It would literally look 100%. Better if they left her skin the way it was.

How about they work on the gods that need it first. You only care about yourself and so do those people. I've lost so many games because we nearly start falling behind and somebody leaves. I'm tired of people leaving the damn game and I'm tired of Hel being underpowered!

Do I just need to be in the chatroom or do I actually have to have the stream going?

>>164297159
Cnsider yourself lucky because when I get mad I want to play more and more. I stood up all night trying to win a game and I'm usually pretty good but tonight it was just freak accident after freak accident. At one point two characters disconnected right when the game began and of course I only play Conquest and nobody ever wants to surrender so I wasted so much time in games that were clearly hopeless and I'm usually one to not want to give up but these games were just gone and teammates would sit in the tower IF YOURE NOT GOING TO SURRENDER THEN GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THE TOWER!!!. So before I knew it I lost like ten games in a fucking row and finally decided to play joust and won a pity game god literally gave me out of mercy because of my pitiful suffering. One of their team left and the other two were obviously new to smite so I reluctantly said that's good enough even know I know for a fact it wasn't and now I'm angry.

Brawler's or the other pen items could be substituted for more defense (Shifter's, Spirit / Mantle, BoV /Bulwark) or you can get a Bloodforge too.
He has a stun, shred, and dash with built in CDR for attacking your enemies all while healing you and a mobile Thor ult, and his damage is relevant at all stages of the match. I don't know what to tell you if you think he's bad. He's been a consistent pick in the SPL and was even used in solo.

Trash.

>another assasin try's to 1v1 arachne if they dont get the jump on her

No problem.
You won't get two (you)s in a row from me though, buddy.

>>164311605
I'm pretty sure with just 10% CDR from Pythag's or Focus boots that the uptime on Pulse is longer than the downtime, considering the cooldown ticks down even as the ability is active.

It may just be my buddy being good at the game, but in general, Sylvanus has been a solid pick for early bullying, especially against ADCs who have no escape.
Watch out for Ymir counter-plays though.

Camazotz would pretty much be the God you're looking for.

>>164337389
I can't really get the hang of him, is he better in jungle or solo

>>164338674
I'd say solo, but your team does lose a front liner, so safer in jungle.
If Camazotz doesn't click with you, try Rat, or maybe Erlang.

>>164320890
Too bad you need pretty much no lag/lan conditions to even be able to use him.

>>164332284
I know wanting to fuck Jing Wei is wrong, but she's too perfect.

>>164305985
Pen and and defense. With gods like him, Thor, Camazotz and others they can build some defense and still kill pretty damn well.

This really helps them out later on in the match

>>164295682

But I like the diamond skin contrast of diamond skin and blue lips.

What should be changed to stop snowball games?

Not sure if Smite has it, but a lot of modern fighting games have comeback mechanics where the losing player gets increased defense or something. While it's pointless in a fighting game with rounds under a minute, I think it could work in Smite but not to the extent of giving the losing team free gold fury equivalents. Maybe increased gold and xp for taking objectives or enemy camps, so that they're forced to be aggressive if they want to come back?

>>164343196

But if the enemy team snowballs chances are they'll take the objectives and camps so that would just make it worse

Any tips on how to close in on enemies when your whole team picked ranged characters and you're the only assassin in joust? I kept trying because I'd try and jump in when my two teammates were spamming abilities from the tower and me having no ranged abilities would have to either just sit and watch while losing xp or go in and tank a frost to the face and get jumped by all three of them.

>>164343791
The best way to stop snowballs is to defend as much as you can and try not to be aggressive and lose the game. If you defend long enough your whole team will eventually reach max level and from that point defend your Phoenix until all three of them are up and then the game will be even again and you can make a huge comeback victory.

>>164345061
At max I'd have a Jing Wei or something similar split push towers while you're defending because she can easily get away when f the whole enemy team decides to jump her.

>>164344845
This is the most annoying situation to ever be in.
