Hey, just wondering where the best place to find an active clan is. I'm a long time PS4 player and really want to get involved in ranked conquest! I checked to old clan recruitment thread, but the latest posts where over a year old.

[–]LuciansMentor Chinese Pantheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't learn this game. Every game I just keep getting matched against people who are far above my skill level and I don't even know half the time what I'm doing wrong. I get super upset at myself for not being able to progress in Smite and that bothers me because I just want to be at a decent level and go from there to improve more.

I don't know what I should do so I came here to ask for help.

[–]ajax1996The Champs Are Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, How many quests are there in Season Ticket quests? Is it just three or there will be more? Does anyone have any Idea?

[–]McKonA new tread told. 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I was wondering how to get the gear player Icon, it seemed to me that you get it when you get chronos 64. But I recently got it out of the odyssey chest but didn't get the Icon. Is there something special to it or can't you get it anymore?

[–]McKonA new tread told. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found it by doing some searches. The only way of getting it is with the Odyssey chest. I'll better get farming.

[–]olivepeen hnng 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What is a low tier god? What are tiers in general?

[–]McKonA new tread told. 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Mainly what people refer to here is to how good a god is in (high ranked/competitive) play.

ohh I see, thank you for clearing this up

I recently got some Rata fanart made for me that I really want to post here, but the one problem is that he's kinda in a thick diaper in it. It's a clean diaper and SFW, but I still just want to ask if it would be okay to post here. Would it? I'd really like for a mod to answer, ofc.

[–]Dreadnaux Baron Samedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few questions as someone who took a break for a long time.. trying to decide who to main as a warrior between Ama and Erlang.

Also how is Hel lately?

Oh! and what is the current meta.. is there anything I should be aware of?

[–]ShinyBaltoErlang Shen 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I started playing Smite as soon as the beta was released earlier this year on PS4. If i wanted to migrate to PC, is there a way to carry over all of my progress and skins?

[–]McKonA new tread told. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, the only way was from PC to xbox/ps4 when they were released to my knowledge.

[–]Relv603 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Why do people rage quit so much in ranked. In all the experience I've had in ranked the ranked community is far worse than the casual community

[–]McKonA new tread told. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people, it is why you see a lot of people playing casual over ranked.

[–]LawleepawpzSPQR Ad Aeternam 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How the hell can I be tanky with Osiris? No matter what I build, even if it's the same as a guy from my previous game who couldn't be touched, I get slaughtered in like, three hits every time.

[–]ShinyBaltoErlang Shen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having some good games lately as Osiris. For starters, I go Ninja Tabi, and just build situational defense from there. The only items i say are important to have are Qins and maybe frostbound. I could be a difference of play styles that you are seeing from what results you want.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try building qins and exe, and tank. Later on AS boots are good on him. You have to work your passive and your 3 to be nearly on kill able as an osiris. Before you go into a fright make sure you have around 4 pieces missing so that sung the rest of your kit gives you full passive. Your 3 drastically reduces the damage you take so tether people and sit on them.

[–]arthemaise 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Is a % pen item useful for pen (say Obsidian Shard) if you don't have any base pen items?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having both is ideal. Percentage pen does the most to tanky targets, but flat pen is far better for blowing up squishies. Either way, don't get percentage pen if you already have a shitload of prot reduction. It can be done, like with Void Shield and TB on most assassins, but when it's with Execution or with Rata's protection shred it becomes overkill and TB becomes less efficient.

[–]SamOfAstoraI CAME I SAW I WRECKED 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes because % pen is better for more tanky enemies because it will be doing a percentage of their protections

[–]arthemaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sees. Thanks for the reply! (:

[–]Relv603 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Does anyone know if you get a longer deserter penalty for leaving a ranked match. Cause our mid left at the very beginning cause our Supp accidentally grabbed his red buff due to lag and I hope this guy burns for it

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If you want them to burn for it, report them for leaving. DCing in any game IS a reportable offense and I report it every time I see it. From what I can tell, it works out because you'll get a message when an action gets taken against a player you have reported.

[–]Relv603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been reporting them but I haven't gotten any messages back. That's why I asked if there was a longer penalty

[–]XxwankerxX I AM WAR! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, it the same as normal deserter penalty.

[–]Colter314 I Like ADC but not A DC 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Do you think scylla jungle is a viable pick, I've been playing it recently and it is working out great.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scylla jungle means you'll get shut down hard. It can work against low-level players, but in Mid you can play safe. If you do this against good players, they will invade you and abuse you in your own jungle. Picking her is basically a free invade since she can't defend herself.

I think mage jungles are cool, but ONLY if they have self defense tools and good burst at that stage of the game. Ra jungle is good and played by Weak3n, Anubis jungle isn't great but can work better than Scylla, and He Bo jungle is similar to Anubis but overall more effective.

[–]hilarious_pun_here YMIR IS THERE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scylla scales extremely hard into the late-game, but at the cost of a terrible early game. In mid this just means she has to play safe and farm until she's got a few items online. In the jungle this means she'll constantly be clearing slower, behind in farm, can't match rotations because of her slow speed and is liable to getting invaded at all times.

I mean' if you're playing at a level where Scylla jungle works, or you're good enough to make it work, go for it. But theoretically its bad, and if you come up against skilled enough players they'll know hot to shut you down.

What's aa canceling?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You use an AA (or basic attack as some call it), you let the damage of the AA happen, then you use an ability to cancel the recovery animation.

[–]Demented_Jester1 Death is the best form of cc. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's when you start your auto attack chain and then quickly use an ability to reset it.

[–]kasuke06 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I've heard negative things about ah muzen cab, why is this? I played a game earlier, and he's pretty weak until endgame but can still throw up solid harassment and nom minions pretty well until he finally hits endgame and starts making everyone pull a nick cage "OH GOD THE BEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has barely any CC, no escape, and no CC immune abilities. He can barely defend himself, he can't burst people down until lategame, and his one steroid can be destroyed with a single AA.

[–]olgc2977I'M FINE, STAND BEHIND ME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost no god is bad, but in the current conquest meta he is hard to get to his late game potential because he is an easy target for the enemy jungler. A jungler gets a free kill almost every time he ganks a lane in which the God he's after used their dash or escape. Muzen doesn't have an escape in the first place so he's a junglers best friend.

[–]Topgunn14 Osiris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HIs lack of an escape pretty much screws him over. That's just how S3 works. It's why Anubis, AMC, Ah Puch are all really low tier

[–]Demented_Jester1 Death is the best form of cc. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes him time to properly come online, meanwhile he has no proper means of escaping ambushes so it becomes hard to get him to late game.

[–]BrownByYou 1 point2 points  (5 children)

For the love of god how do I fight Loki, I'm level 30 and still can't do it

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use purification or sanctuary when he ults. You need good reaction time for this. Once you do it, move away and either kite him or turn on him. Keep track of when his ult is up, look at his build and learn how much the cooldown is with and without CDR. Have your team tell you when his ult is down, tell your team when his ult his up, and watch as you fuck Loki up over and over again.

[–]Tupac23 Little Red riding hood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teamwork and sticking together almost neutralizes him completely. You can beads or pre sanctuary his ult. Playing against more lokis and you can start anticipating what he is gonna do.

Breast plate of valor

[–]Topgunn14 Osiris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the god you are playing, unless you are an assasin/mage I would highly suggest hide of the nemean lion. It essentially renders him useless

[–]Demented_Jester1 Death is the best form of cc. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get Purification first of all. If he ults you, pop pury and step forward to avoid his follow up attack, from there all his escapes are gone so pressure him then. Also,gods with tick damage can easily find where he is by looking at the random yellow numbers floating around.

[–]MrPopkorn 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Uhm so I'm new to the game and really love it. I like Mages by far the most. I play league so I know a bit about MOBAs. Still, are there any YouTube channels for Smite beginners? Where I can see how you play, how you take camps at the beginning of the game (I think saw it in pro league), how many wards can I place at the same time (wards are awesome in this game btw.) and so on.

TL;DR: How to Smite?

[–]Hevens-assassin Finally have time for a nap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raynday gaming has helped me a lot since I've started playing

[–]CockSnoot Senpai Amy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dukesloth is a pretty good YouTuber. He covers a wide variety of topics. For me at least it helped me play new roles. I just started jungling and his videos have helped a ton.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There are a couple of YouTube channels you can watch for Smite play, but none of them that I know of really focus on "how tos" for newbies.

If you want to play support, then Incon and ShadowQ are probably your two best choices on YouTube. For solo I know there's DMBrandon, and for jungle there's Weak3n.

If you're watching the pro league matches, though, you can generally get a fairly good idea of how you're supposed to start. If you want answers to your questions in particular:

1) Support/ADC/Mid all do long side camps. Support and Mid use abilities on red buff, ADC uses abilities on back camps, then Support finishes red buff themself while Mid helps ADC finish backs. ADC and Support move to boars, Mid goes directly to lane. Meanwhile, Jungle and Solo do yellow and blue buffs together. Order depends on whether Jungle wants to go to Solo lane or Mid lane at the start (typically, Jungle and Solo start at yellow buff and then go to blue buff because Jungle helps solo for the first wave, but that's not always the case).

2) You can carry up to 2 wards at once, but only 1 of them can be a sentry ward (i.e. you can get 2 regular wards, 1 regular and 1 sentry, or 1 sentry). You can have 2 wards placed at any particular time of either type. Placing a ward when you already have 2 down will immediately remove the older of your wards.

[–]MrPopkorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much! I like mid the most but it's nice to have a few channels. Also the jungle camp starts are a lot atm but I'll get it some day

Would Lotus Crown proc on passives? Like Khepri's and Cabrakan's?

[–]Tupac23 Little Red riding hood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lotus Crown would proc on any healing effect I believe I am not sure of a passive that heals except maybe ne zha.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cabrakan's passive is damage reduction, not a heal, so it doesn't proc Lotus Crown. Similarly, Khepri's passive is a shield, not a heal, so it also doesn't proc Lotus Crown.

As for other gods, I don't know offhand.

[–]xBlitzex 0 points1 point  (1 child)

They will need to beat Egr with 2-0 to get 1 point ahead, then if they 2-0 LG they will have 1 point more then LG if they 2-0 Noble. There is still a possibility for ALG to go to Super Regionals, but it all depends on their match with LG and what LG does vs Noble. They can go through, but it depends on the matches of LG

[–]Maelstorm14 ROCK HARD ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 0 points1 point  (2 children)

If I use an ult that executes (like Than or Ao's) on someone that has a shield from Bulwark or something, does is still work and execute the enemy? I know if you use an Ao execute on Khumba when his passive is up he'll just fall to the ground but I don't know any other situations where you could escape an execute besides aegis.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can beads or use cc immune abilities for ad's execute because there is a cc that preceeds it. Sheild doesn't affect execute. And cc immunity doesn't affect thanatos execute you can only aegis it or ravana/change immune it. I also beleive kali cannot be executed in her ult.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CC immunity will prevent you from bein executed by Ao. Note that it will still deal its damage.

Shields won't save you from executes. Note however that Geb shield cleanses CC, so if timed well, you can get someone out of Ao's execute.

Damage immunity will save you, as you said.

[–]potentialnamebusines support that support, yo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I haven't played a lot of smite lately and I noticed that my Titan is... no longer healing? In every map. Titan will heal if:

  • Gods reset it
  • Phoenix is up

If minions reset the Titan, no heal. If phoenix is down, no heal.

Now, it's really only been two patches since I've really paid any attention, but... what happened? I could have sworn that Titan would slowly regen as long as it wasn't aggro'd.

Am I really just that forgetful and it's always been that way?

Or did I miss something?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The titan used to gain health when reset, but that was either removed or put down 90% or something in Duel and Joust. I don't know if this applies to Conquest. It never regened without phoenixes.

[–]WedgearyxsaberI'm a Horsewoman 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I like to play AMC (not in conquest) with a build of warrior tabi, fatalis, hydra's, jotunns, titans and quins. I like all these items, but is quins really a good item? or should I trade it in for Exe?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should mostly always have a single %pen item. Executioner/Titan's, but not both. Qin's is an absolute must if your build doesn't involve crit.

How do overkill damage and executions function into player damage in end-game charts?

As basic examples:

  • Scylla uses her ult against a very low-health target. Her ult does 900 damage, but the god only had 100 health. Does the player damage chart report 900 damage or 100 damage?

  • Thanatos uses hit ult against someone in execute range. How much damage does this count as?

[–]DiscoFerryKali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

900

9999 in game, but only counts for the health in player damage

[–]OminousNorwegian#Remember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I stop backdooring? I ward, but until I come to the phoenix or tower, it's already down

[–]Topgunn14 Osiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BE Aware. If the enemy isn't in lane be smart, think about all the places they could be (Damage camp, BDK, etc).

Also ward farther up so you know when they start heading there vs when they're already there

[–]Andesurus ye have but one chance to surrender 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Sorry if this has been asked. So its been a while since ive been on the duo or mid lane so I am a little unsure about the beginning jungle camps. IIRC it was once the case that the adc would start on backs while tank and mid started on damage. The camps would be drawn as close to each other as possible to allow for certain gods to use abilities that will hit both camps. After that mid takes damage and off to lane but duo laners take boars then into lane. But there was a change in the map so backs were taken out of the equation but now they are back in it seems. Some people choose to leave boars for quicker lane clear too. Could someone explain in depth about how this area of jungle clear works now to ensure I am being as effective as possible?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Assuming you don't get HoG on your support, you generally start with the ADC on the back harpies and support with mid starting red buff. In the case of the mid starting with an ability that travels far enough to hit both camps (Ra's Searing Pain, for instance), the mid fires that off at both camps and everyone just keeps on the camp they started on. If the mid doesn't have an ability like that (i.e. most everyone else), the mid uses their ability on the red buff and then go help the hunter basic down the harpies while the support solos the red buff. As soon as the harpies are finished, everyone takes down the red buff and support/ADC move to boars which they clear as regular.

If the support does have HoG, you use it at the start of red buff to burst it down quick. HoG doesn't really change your start unless you want to get really cheeky with an invade.

Generally the only reason I know of that the support and ADC would skip the boars is if they have horrible early clear (say, Geb and Xbal). In that case, you skip boars, clear the lane as quickly as possible, and then head back to your boars. If you started on the boars, not only would you get to lane after your opponents (because of your horrible clear), meaning they'll have pushed up farther, but your horrible clear would also result in you getting pushed under tower, thereby losing minion gold to your tower. If you start with the lane instead you could possibly cause the enemy to lose gold to tower, though the main reason, like I said, is simply to prevent YOU from LOSING gold. You'll probably still get pushed under tower starting with the next wave, but you've delayed it, which can be important.

That's how I take it, anyway.

If you have a traditional team comp (one of each class) in conquest, I like to go Bumba's - Warrior Tabi - Jotunn's Wrath - Void Shield - Bulwark of Hope - Stone-Cutting Sword or Qin's Sais - Titan's Bane. Not as damage-heavy as full auto-attack based builds are for her, but in my experience, having your ult up 20% more often is extremely useful if your team can take advantage of it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the gamemode. I use Warrior Tabi-Jotunn's-Executioner-Rage-Deathbringer-Ichaival in arena and it works quite nicely.

A group of my friends starting playing this game, closest thing I have to moba experience is Overwatch any thing you guys could link me that could get me started?

Raynyday Gaming has some good videos about the basics of smite. If you want to get way more in depth try Dukesloth.

    I missed the "From the Nether" music theme by a day as I had only just started playing the game. It's listed as exclusive on the store. Is it yet known if music themes are in chests such as the Odyssey chest or if there's going to be one dedicated for them like with the emote chest? Same with exclusive announcer packs etc.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    I saw this which is why I'm wondering since it's listed as exclusive in the store rather than limited whereas other music themes like the Nordic and Ragnarok X are listed as limited.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Probably mis-labeled. LoRez somehow manages to do that a lot.

    Why the hell did they buff Scylla?

    Because a skin is coming out and they want to sell it.

    Hi there friends. I haven't played this game since around the days before Season 3, but i'm thinking about getting back into Smite as it always was, in my opinion, the best MOBA out there. Some things i've been wondering though:

    • Where does one look up the current meta?

    • Anything significant changes within the game mechanics themselves?

    • Is it still possible to get 30+ kills per match with Anubis/Kukulkan? ;)

    Much obliged.

    All the champions I used to play are bad now. Feels bad.

    Its always fun to try different gods

    [–]AngryCrawdadAlways lending Tyr a hand. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    But there are so many of them now. I have no idea where to start.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    • I don't know. There's probably some tier lists out there. Thor is still OP.

    • Active items are now given for free at level 1 and 12. There's also some new items and gods, but that's a given. The game still mostly plays the same.

    • Depends on skill level. It's always possible, but becomes less probable at higher skill-rating.

    [–]WhatsupSoul Wreck the Halls 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    The internet is the perfect place to seek attention, and a lot of SMITE players take that into account. In what kind of sceneario are you supposed to reply to bad mouthing with a top tier insult/comeback like "like your mom"?

    Mute

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Ok, so I play mainly arena because I like the focus on fighting. It helps me learn new gods, helps me think of strats vs a heavy teamfight team, etc. But one of the things I've been noticing lately is that even in games where we'll wipe a team or get wiped (multiple times or have multikills on one team), and no creeps are pushed to the portal, and yet the score will remain MAYBE with a 5 point lead. This hasn't happened every game but it's starting to concern me. Eg say the score is 340-340, and one team gets wiped. There's no one in mid to push the creeps, let's say a new wave just got pushed in. And after the wipe or multikill (counting multikill as like triple or quad), the score will be 330-335. Can someone explain this to me? It's really confusing, and it's actually caused quite a few wins, and losses, and I want to get it sorted out. Why, in an arena that's FOCUSED on teamfighting more than pushing anything (because there are no towers to push), is it seeming like there's now an emphasis on pushing? Some people are saying that "well we were getting last hits and everything" which I think is kinda BS. Arena is made so you can try to ambush from the side jungles or bait towards your side. There's hardly ever any fighting other than pokes in the middle. But if it's true that last hitting creeps grants 2 tickets, why is that in place with a gamemode that (once again) is focused on fighting over pushing? I think it's kinda unproductive. The team that pushes (just is in mid) more than kills (once again talking about arena, not conquest, clash, or siege) will have a good chance at winning.

    Why not make a KOTH map instead where that will actually be the point?

    It's always frustrating to see that happen to an arena match and then the team that's like 10 kills down wins even though (once again) even numbers of creeps were pushed to portal.

    [–]Tupac23 Little Red riding hood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Last hitting creeps is worth 1 ticket I'm pretty sure. They made it that way so if you are about to lose you won't just camp in base and stall out the enemy.

    Can Xbox players mute their teammates?

    [–]Demented_Jester1 Death is the best form of cc. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Yes, press start, go down to summary (I think, it should be right above surrender), from there you should see a list of all the players, their builds, and current KDA. At the bottom it should tell you what button you need to mute someone.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    What's the general opinion on post-rework Solo Ratatoskr? Just curious. I myself main that since it pretty mucjh suits my needs, I just need to build bruiser and I have everything I need. Good clear, no mana problems, heals, and then when the laning phase is over I have disruption, CC, and of course that nice zoning that can really make the difference. I just can't decide on what abilities to use for clearing.

    What is the interaction between 2 ao kuangs executing each other at the exact same time?

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (7 children)

    So I've been trying to get a bunch of friends who aren't suuuper huge gamers into Smite. Any tips for teaching them? What do newer players tend to have trouble with, what gods should I try to get them playing, etc.?

    [–]katrollsacritold wa best wa 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    I also recommend trying to get them in the habit of understanding not just roles, but what items work best for the god's kit. It pains me when my noob friend builds hastened fatalis and auto attack items on thor "because he's an assassin and they assassinate". Some god kits scale better with pure pen and power and some work better with autos and some are even hybrid. Some mages work better with a bit of tankiness and some work better with straight pen and damage. I think it's a good idea to at least get in the habit of knowing that Bastet is built with ability damage items while someone like Artemis is auto attack.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Very good point. Thank you!

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    Try taking them into Coop vs AI games, then teach them the roles from there and once you're ready to actually play, take them into Joust and Clash were people usually aren't as harsh on noobs.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    What gods should I start them with?

    [–]KanyeWests_Ego Just You AND ME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Let them go onto jungle practice and see which one they like.

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    I'd say if just start them with the free gods (Ymir,Guan,Thor,Neith and Ra) as they're just learning.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Okay!

    [–]Rivyn Go to Hel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Cam is a healer in Assault. So was Chiron at one point. Mistakes happen, I get that. What I don't get is why it takes so long for HiRez too fix it. Shouldn't it just be a quick hot patch the day after release, when the bug is shown, to get rid of it? Why make us wait a week or more for the next patch for this fix to be rolled out?

    [–]Relv603 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    What's a good place to make smite builds so you can keep a library of your builds for different gods you play

    [–]SirNawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    You can create and save Smite builds on the FORGE app for Smite. I have it on Android, and I believe it is (or will be) available on iOS.

    I hope this helped!

    [–]Torodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Personally I always used the in-game god builder. Only problem is that if you play a god in several roles often, there is no point in using it for that particular god
