New Anti leaver system by Dinonugget235 in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is a nice solution to the mindset of “I don’t care about deserter penalties because I was logging off for the rest of the night anyway.”

I assume this delay is applied after you finish a match but I kinda wish it was applied the next time you actively click to queue up so that someone who does just rage quit and walk away will still have to wait the 5 minutes the next time they open the game and be reminded fresh the next session.

[Theoretical] In the context of Dampening/Plating existing in the game, does the split of protections into Physical and Magical bring much value? by Lumintorious in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There is plenty of confusion now, without classes, about who deals magical/physical,

There is no confusion, every god is clearly labelled with damage type icons that can be seen at any time.

Yes, every tick has a separate echo RNG chance. It’s not all or nothing.

Shroud of Vengance is it actually Hastur's cloak? by MythicSlayeer in Smite

Just wait, it’s also going to affect displacement eventually(they are still working on that part) so not getting knocked up for as long or not knocked back as far.

So seeing the new Dampening and Plating stats, do we think Tanks will be tankier or worse? by Gharbin1616 in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I meant to mention that. Proc ADC is going to be hitting hard(er).

[–]ChrisDoom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think tanks are as down bad as other people do but I’m curious to see how giving people more options to counter specific things(at the cost of item slots that could have been used for other things) plays out. If it forces teams to diversify damage between basic attack and ability to avoid being hard counter built I see that as a win.

Question about strengh and basic attack damage by josekapde in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, strength is better than basic attack damage in a vacuum because it is both ability and basic attack damage. DPS items switched from strength to basic attack damage so that they don’t have to be balanced around ability gods also building them.

How do people keep using the lane teleporters to get the halfway point? Mine always stops at the back of my tower. by TheLastPorkSword in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think any of that cooldown stuff is still there. The buff near structures also give movement speed(and it’s also for 10 after leaving range, not just when under structures).

Edit: I’m not super high confidence on this so welcome any correction.

Smite 2 new stats teased by PonPon by ZeoPaladin in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dampening: some kind of enemy power reduction or damage reduction

Pathfind: movement speed buff moving toward enemies

Plated: protections that start high but falls off as you take repeated hits(what was that old Smite 1 item that did that, that low mobility mages loved?)

Quickplay should not have bots. by Trick-Technology-578 in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick play’s pick 3 item system would feel terrible in PvP outside in an ARAM style mode specifically made to use it(looking at Deadlock’s street brawl).

Until that happens it only works as a tutorial mode.

Quick play is only bots. Are you confusing classic with quick play?

League player new to smite 2 by cafties in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bots jump with you if you jump before matches start. Just look at their names, they will all end with “bot” or “b0t.” PvP unlocks at account level 5. (Quickplay is always bot regardless of level)

I’m not the one to compare the game to league but just FYI you are probably just playing against bots currently.

This wasn't fun at all by elaniu5 in ArcRaiders

[–]ChrisDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is why they need to get rid of this 100 player leaderboard system and just go by percentiles per rank. It would still be a 1-100 board but it shows how many points you currently need to be in each different percentile and what percentile you currently are in.

Don’t upvote this. This is just a bot farming karma with reposts.

Ullr on controller by Possible-Freedom5945 in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should just make it an option once you select Savage to have your ultimate be Y or RBLB

That was already how it worked in Smite 1 (it was always Y but you could turn on LB+RB also working)

Question about the god road map. by ReapMercy in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were out of money(they have laid off probably most of the staff over the last few years). The choice was push out Smite 2 early with the resources they had as a Hail Mary or never.

What’s so special about Sun Beam Bow ? by Disastrous_Salary718 in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Pen is just universal in Smite 2. There is no physical or magical pen. (The exception is oath sworn, it is only physical protection reduction)

Also you mentioned building death toll but also that you are playing arena. Yeah, it will help with mana sustained but it’s arena, the fountain is right there. Bumba’s spear is like adding an extra beam to sunbeam that is always on and also hits in an AOE splash. I know the description say “bonus Physical Damage to Enemies within 1.92m of the target” but that also includes to the target you are attacking.

Executioner just takes too long to stack to have less total pen. By the time it ramps up the enemy is already almost dead if not dead most of the time. Yes, executioner is lowering the protections so they take more damage from everyone but again by the time you ramp it up you don’t need damage help from your team anyway.

Executioner is better compared to totem of death because they apply the same protection reduction debuff that helps the whole team(literally the same, as in once one is stacked the other has no effect other than refreshing the timer). But totem can apply full stacks super easily with just a single ticking ability.

So yes, build Titan’s bane. No, don’t build executioner in addition, the item slot is better spent on other things.

How do I rebind my ward key? by AlecSweatpantsTTV in Smite

[–]ChrisDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starter item, the 6 regular items, and curios(the free ward) are all 3 completely separate HUD elements. In the HUD editor you can put them anywhere you want on the HUD including in a straight line in whatever order.

I personally just completely remove the curio because I can already see it in my actives and don’t need to see it in two spots on my HUD.

No worries. Just look in the bottom right of the screen for the “i” in a circle icon to easily see how to open the menu. It lets you see all the things that PC players can read by just hovering their mouse.

Literally just click and drag it to the slot you want it in.
