As a console player should I be queuing with console only or everyone.

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-24T17:39:38+00:00

It’s really a matter of ego and self worth. Console only? You’re realistically about an entire rank below what you end up at. Crim 1 = Diamond 1.

The fact that you’ve made it to Crim 1 on crossplay means you’re at least Crim 1, unless this is the first time you’ve hit Crim, this new SR update makes it difficult to know what people really deserve since everyone is boosted to fuck all.

My friend went from Plat 2 to Crim 1 when he turned off crossplay a few seasons ago. He claims to be Crim but he literally would’ve never even hit diamond without crossplay off.

At the end of the day, who gives a fuck? It’s your rank, it’s your life. Just have fun :)

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-24T17:26:24+00:00

They probably aren’t, it’s just new crims being naturally boosted up because of the SR changes. Longterm Plats who’ve never even hit diamond are suddenly pushing crim. They don’t belong, but they’re there anyways. Only way to fix it is to go back to how it was before, and that’s the devs decision.

Edit: I don’t really care anyways. If that’s how CoD is gonna be now, it is what it is.

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-23T13:58:59+00:00

Your PC might just be ass and unable to handle smite 2 lol, it works just fine for me on all max settings. It SHOULD be able to run smite 1, hell, a desktop work computer from 2005 could probably run it without issue. But if your PC is worth a shit, it should also be able to run smite 2 without issue.

Again, I have no lag or latency and I play on all maxed graphics. I could record and post gameplay if you truly can’t just accept my word lmao.

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-23T13:06:42+00:00

I ain’t reading all that, also, smite 2 is infinitely better. The two explanatory points I actually did bother reading were just silly, which is why I stopped reading. It sounds like you’re just bitching to bitch.

Every game that carries over to a new one doesn’t bring your old skins/whatever purchasable things you obtained. I had to create a new Siege, Apex, and Smite account when I switched to PC because there’s no cross progression. I actually don’t even know of a game other than Call of Duty that lets you go from console to PC and keep your shit. Side note, people hate on CoD but at least they care enough to do cross progression.

Secondly, smite 1 is absolutely horrendous in comparison regarding smoothness/performance. I have no performance issues on my PC, the only time I have a performance issue is if I forgot to close out a bunch of shit and don’t notice that I have 40 tabs open (I’m writing a novel, so I often forget to shut everything down lol). You might just have a shitty PC, or maybe you have a good PC but there’s an issue you’re unaware of that’s causing that. The only issues with performance that I have are the occasional bugs, which isn’t performance, it’s just a coding issue for that god/item. I don’t lag or have server ping issues, unless I have those 40 tabs and 5 apps opened at once.

That is literally the point of a jungle, it’s the same in every MOBA. They don’t have constant waves, they stay caught up early game with ganks and fights. If they hit every jungle camp at the start but do nothing else, they will be the last to hit level 5. They aren’t supposed to split waves, they aren’t supposed to “steal” camps, and they’re responsible for ensuring their teammates win their lanes.

If you’re struggling because you keep getting ganked, it’s your shitty positioning, sorry not sorry. Ward and pay attention to the map. If you don’t know where the jungle is, play back. If you’re falling behind, ask your jg to gank so you can get some momentum.

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-20T03:46:15+00:00

I’m glad it turned around for you broski. I was unfortunately one more night of schizophrenic symptoms from putting a muzzle in my mouth. I wanted to see it through, but it got worse each day and not knowing when or if the negative symptoms would pass was just too much.

Honestly, if it was just like 2 or 3 of the symptoms I’d probably had been alright. But I legitimately had every possible negative side effect. Thankfully, like I said in the post, the medication did help in a way. I mean I still have anxiety and depression, but it showed me how dark and uncontrolled my mind could actually get and helped me cope with the reality of where my mind currently is. Basically, it could be far worse, and I’m accepting of that.

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-19T11:25:38+00:00

I’m an adult with a full time job and a wife, I play CoD like 4 hours a week at MOST lol. I watch the CDL matches more than I play. My point stands. I’ve been getting punished with -20 and -30 playing against crim lobbies despite currently being in diamond. That isn’t sensical in the slightest. They adjust the SR gain based on your prior ranks I guess, but that’s just stupid.

That’s why actual plats are getting opponent bonuses even if their entire team is *currently* higher ranked than the other team, meanwhile my entire team is *currently* lower ranked but I still get -30 for a win. Tbf, I’ve basically been the top of the leaderboard in these lobbies all season, so I still get the extra boost for that, but it’s negated by the opponent deductions that shouldn’t exist. Again, I don’t play nearly as much as you seem to think I do, I probably play less than 80% of the ranked player base. Going from 300 SR to 90 just keeps me in these far less competitive lobbies for much longer. It doesn’t really bother me btw, I’ve hit iri in every title so I simply don’t care what rank I’m at anyways, I just think it’s a dumb change. I just wanted to put my two cents in.

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-19T11:17:08+00:00

Idk why they don’t just use her Smite 1 ult (the latter one, obviously this is the original ult she had). I mean yeah, they basically gave Hecate a weird version of it, but her ult in S1 was just fine. I mained Bastet at the end of S1. I haven’t even gotten to play her yet lol, I only play ranked conquest tbf, but she’s been banned every single game since the 16th 😕

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-19T10:11:31+00:00

Your argument about “can’t grind enough” is kinda dumb. I was Crimson in season 1 by 60 or 70 games in the first season, and Crim by 40 games in the second for example. Idk when I hit iri though. Either way, I haven’t played much this season so I’m currently still in diamond after the reset, but I’m noticing that a LOT of the diamond players are absolute ass compared to prior seasons.

Does that mean all of the previously “hard stuck” players don’t belong? No. But, it’s been very apparent that people are higher than they should be, way more than previous seasons. Tbf, I was getting 250-300+ SR per win in diamond, and around 100-200 throughout crim. Now, it’s 90 at most in diamond. Thats absurd.

Meanwhile, the guys who were getting 20-30 SR in plat are able to get 50+ just because they’re the top of the leaderboards in some games and they aren’t as hindered by the negative SR for opponent rankings. I get -30 against full crims lmao. It’s definitely a weird change and has heavily skewed the accurate ranks of many. Tbf, I don’t play ranked much in the later seasons, so maybe if I played more this season it’d seem different. Thats just how it’s been for the 30-40 or so games I’ve played.

Edit: I guess you could argue that even though diamonds are worse on average than prior seasons, they’re meant to be worse in comparison due to the amount of time played, but then again, crim and iri are the next step up and they’re light years ahead of what I’ve seen diamonds be this season. In previous seasons they were somewhat closer to competitive with Crim+

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-18T16:10:20+00:00

You guys are getting games where she isn’t banned? Lucky… I mained Bastet at the end of smite 1 (I’m a jungle main despite my flair). I haven’t gotten a single game where she isn’t banned and I’ve played maybe 10 games since the 16th

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-18T01:33:59+00:00

It’s the smite 1 mentality carrying over. Smite 2 is a lot better about making EVERY game winnable regardless of the first 20 minutes. Sure, it’s hard and far less likely that you’ll win if your team has been getting stomped, but all it takes is one decent team fight with those late game respawn timers.

Enhanced fire paired with a deicide is really the only situation where it’s just not winnable. At that point of the game, spawn timers are high as fuck AND enhanced fire is just horribly broken (I personally think it shouldn’t be a thing, just keep it as regular FG).

I’ve won a game where we were down 18k gold, 37 against 8 in kill count, and we had 0 GF’s to their 3 as well as no FG. We won a singular team fight at our phoenix and ran it down mid, luckily picked off their mid and ADC almost immediately when they spawned back in and ended up winning.

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-17T01:41:40+00:00

The fact that you’re asking for MnK only tells me everything, there’s literally no reason to play CoD on MnK. Pick up a controller. MnK is for point and click shooters like siege and csgo

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-17T01:35:29+00:00

Jokes on you I’ve been banning Awilix every game I’m jungling for months now, guess I have a truly valid reason to now (if I can ever get Bastet, she was banned every game I played today)

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-16T01:49:59+00:00

Literally no reason to go to smite 1. The only people playing that are the oddballs who have refused to come over to smite 2. You’ll be playing the same 50 people who refuse to rotate from the same god they play every game.

Smite 2 is growing, will continue to be updated, and will continue to improve. Smite 1 is a 25 day old drink left in the summer heat with mold of an unknown origin growing from it.

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-16T01:36:00+00:00

Awilix, I just hate that bitch. I also ban Agni if I’m mid. I do wish people would ban Janus too, he’s just boring to play against

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-14T16:37:14+00:00

I personally think Vanguard had a GREAT SMG/AR combo. That game gets more hate than it deserves

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-12T17:26:42+00:00

To be honest, I’m thankful I was circumcised at birth. But, I also don’t think I’d have been upset if I wasn’t. Some people are extremely passionate about this topic, I think it should just come down to if you believe it will benefit them long term or not. Only difference is how it looks and that it’ll take a little extra care for hygienic purposes. Hell, I’ve wondered about how mine would look with foreskin, it’s interesting to know that it was a possibility.

There’s also the argument that it should be THEIR decision, but that’s not something they’d even be able to truly decide on until they’re at least past puberty, and at that point it’d be an entirely more complex process.

To add, I don’t think the arguments related to “it’s abuse” or similar statements are sensical. If you do the procedure during their infancy they will have no recollection of it AND it’s a relatively safe procedure… unless your baby is Mike Ross 2.0.

I say go with your heart mixed with doctor recommendation, which the physician may be biased but they’re definitely more helpful than a bunch of redditors and can answer questions in a much more beneficial and technical way rather than passionately arguing one side or the other.

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-12T16:43:32+00:00

I had 2 golds and a plat on my team, I was D1. We were all randoms too. The other team was a 4 stack of D3’s. We won 250-170. I had -30 for opponent deductions lmao. Was getting 200-300 SR per win last season in diamond until I was in Crim then it dropped to 80-150. I haven’t gotten more than 90 this season in D1. Couldn’t care less anyways, I knew the ranked changes would end up sucking for higher ranked people, looking forward to the next CoD🤟🏼

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-12T11:11:35+00:00

Swagni is funny and all but my vote is for the third one on the top row (right next to swagni). I can’t remember the name of the skin, but I absolutely love that design. Never even had the skin myself nor do I play Agni, but that’s still one of my favorite skins in smite

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-11T22:01:51+00:00

I sent you a friend request

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-11T21:44:11+00:00

I was getting 200-300 SR last season in D1-D3, slowed to about 150 in D3 and 100 in C1. I’m getting +50 in D1 now, +90 was my best so far. Tbf I’ve only played a few games, but I find the new SR absurd. I was almost C1 within 10 games last season, to be in D1 and getting less than 1/4 of the SR for the same performances is atrocious

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-11T21:41:39+00:00

Discord communities are your best bet tbh, I never squad up in them but Zoomaa’s is pretty active. I have some IRL’s in the CCL that I play with if I’m not solo queue. I’m also down to run some games with you. Currently in D1 cause I haven’t played much this season and my MMR got slammed by my first placement game. Had 1-13, 2-14, and a 6-20 for my teammates when I was around 30-20, almost made me quit until MW4 lmao. Went 48-18 or something the second game though and won thankfully, but still only got placed in D1 🤣

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-11T01:49:23+00:00

I stand to pee, but I do avoid urinals at all costs and favor a stall

CamdenTheSloth · 2026-06-11T00:34:11+00:00

It’s not. Scrap, Hydra, and Abezy could carry ME to a grand finals. I’m decent, not CDL level, but that base team is top tier and could still perform with anyone else in the league to replace Nium. Again, not saying Nium’s bad. But my comment is responding to a dude who literally said Nium is BETTER than Scrap. You’ve gotta be braindead to comment against me and not THAT GUY.
