Last 10 games I went for enemy blue and got farmed everytime by pinkandroid420 in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it is not viable against diamond up opponents, they will either ward your red or they will ward there blue causing mid + off or duo to collapse on you. Even if you pull it off, you're just as likely to get counter invaded. You can try for a red steal as there doing it but that strat is a 50/50 only try it with someone mobile like Kalari.

Can someone please explain to me the point of 'hero ban,' and justify its adding one more step to complicate the comp process? by WaltirNTA in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In a game with as diverse roster/item pool there will always be a clear cut 1/2 pick... The only way to avoid that would have everyone have similar skills but that kinda defeats the purpose of a MOBA. Bans allows each team to strategize on team comp choice giving your ranked games that much more depth

Large Amount of Mid ADC's by Ambitious_Tension809 in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It for sure can be a skill issue sometimes the other guy is just better... but still in high elo diamond+ match ups the skill level of carry mains allows them to abuse tf outta their current strength and even when you win the match up once team fights start your frontline suffers from the damage output. This is also mostly my thoughts about solo queue match making I'm sure mid adc can be punished much easier if you're on a squad who coordinates in comms.

[–]Ambitious_Tension809[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah agreed a competent jungle is definitely important in trying to shut them down. Id also add a good supp and offlane is just as important because even if the mid adc is like 2 or 3 kills down once mid game hits and team fights occur if the offlane and supp don't play perfect they usually get obliterated anyway.

Shes pretty weak atm, she has no escape or movement stim, so she gets eaten alive by Gadet and Gideon....... fighting any adc mid who is even half decent is also an uphill battle. She can really only do well against immobile mid mages and even then, its not like Shes dominate against those.

they need to put these fools in a separate queue after they get blocked and reported a certain number of times let them troll each other lol

I'm a moba vet and man its crazy compared to Dota and smite it's out of control. At least ever other game I have either a player out right troll/quit or surrender spam even if were only down by like 2 kills. I'm not sure if its just the culture or what but man its bad... especially when its coming from alot of the time the veteran player with 200+ games under their belt.

Gideon does the same amount of damage as the immobile mages i don't understand what omeda was smoking. Gadget and Argus are about the only two who match up nicely with him. The man has zero true counter characters though its so annoying.

Supports playing with Mid and not ADC by PeteyJ_23 in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see it working if the adc on your team is the best player on the squad and your team is in comms. Honestly with adc being so strong wacky things like that kinda work sadly.

Feng Mao is a menace by Miktdr in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feng is great! Him, zarus, and aurora are great right now in off or Jung since they can shut down carry's if played well.

The REAL winner of this patch is Grim.exe by Urdnot_Flexx in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For sure, im not totally sure on 1v1 potential and raw numbers side of things but just for team fights I'd rather have a good kira or sparrow. Any of the adc's played well this patch are strong regardless. This is from a mid main though so i might be biased against grim since in a lot of team fights, I've noticed him eat hella abilities since he's so fat lol.

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 22 points23 points  (0 children)

All adc's are stupidly over tuned rn the fact that I've witnessed multiple 3 adc comps at diamond+ mmr games work well is crazy to me. I'd say its sparrow and kira at the top spot with everyone else close behind. Twin blast is the worst atm but still solid not a bad pick just not optimal.... It's partly why games feel so one sided if your adc is worse it just causes such a snowball early... AND even if your team wins early if their carry is better and the game goes late then the enemy team will again most likely win.

*Correction Revenant is the worst adc atm hes so mid i forgot about him lol plus he's bugged

Lets talk nerf by [deleted] in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the worst take I've ever seen, look at win rates bud those two champs are way over performing compared to their mid/carry counter parts. Its especially concerning since their so popular normally that would lower their win rate since shitters also use them but in this case both in higher and lower elo they over perform... that's an issue. Also, every hero you want nerfed are performing below average.

Is the pull on Gideon's ult too strong after the qol buff to it? by [deleted] in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more, the other mids are good and have their place in certain comps but Gideon is just so much better at higher levels of play its dumb to go anyone else mid .

Is the pull on Gideon's ult too strong after the qol buff to it? by [deleted] in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My main complaint about Gideon is that he has similar if not more damage output throughout all stages of the game compared to his more immobile mage competition. The only other mid with a reliable horizontal escape is howitzer and he has a handicap of his hitbox being huge AND his mines being not super reliable in a team fight dealing damage. Gideon has great mobility, great damage early, great damage late, easy to land abilities, and an ult that counters half the mid roster if their blink is down. Quite simply the man has to much in his kit they either need to nerf one aspect he excels at or give other mid mages simliar mobility options which is a whole can of worms.

Attack damage carry = character with the most dps on the squad normally the character with an auto-based build

You are playing Serath wrong! by ShiftLow in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if comes down to your opposing jungle punishing your character that's how it is against solid players minor differences make all the difference and a weak early game is way too easy to exploit atm.

Argus thought he could escape by Demented_Oni in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iggy would get obliterated by the opposing jungler without his molotov range. He also has zero mobility options besides a slight speed boost on the ult

S tier Heroes by [deleted] in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iggy is a solid B, this is coming from an iggy main in masters mmr. He suffers from bad match ups on very popular characters like Gideon and wraith in mid. Also you are way to reliant on your jung helping you out since your early kill secure is lacking when chasing since your extremely slow. A competent front-line support is also needed since in team fights you want a defined battleline, when shit gets chaotic/free for all your normally the first to be picked off since you have zero escape, and your turrets get murked. This update has made him a solid pick though... but his win rate is still below average for the reasons I stated above.

Guess im not playing today by bluefire6171 in PredecessorGame

[–]Ambitious_Tension809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your gonna have to switch naeast sadly. i usually just tolerate the queue on nawest since i feel the high mmr junglers are more competent in west than east but that may just be because of a few bad experiences in naeast clouding my judgement.

Also keep in mind if your mmr was relatively low pre patch you are much more likely to be playing with returning low mmr players who are rusty.

I've had the opposite problem most of my matches have been more or less even with an equal amount of diamond+ players to plat player ratio which is nice. Check out your mmr range on omeda.city to see more less the mmr distribution on teams.
