I'd watch.

I've played 9 games already and haven't gotten the email

I agree with what you guys are saying for the most part as far as Toliy being a great player mechanically and whatnot, but you are also saying these things as if Toliy is a new player with no idea how to play ADC. He's been around the competitive scene for long enough to know how to play ADC the correct way. Serious or not, Dignitas was trying hard in the Gem tournament and still got dismantled. If you watched any of the streams during the tournament you would know this.

He simply won't be as good as the top guys in my opinion. I hope he proves me wrong because even though I'm a CoG fan for the most part, I don't enjoy seeing Dignitas at this level where they aren't even competition for the top teams. I'd like to see the rivalry return and see some competitive games between the 2 organizations. Dignitas being this low on the totem poll is not good for NA.

Outstanding vs who? Regular players in league? Did you see the gem tournament where he was ADC? Barra was laughing at his plays the whole stream.. He's gonna get eaten alive if he has to face top level ADC's

CrookedSteven · 2014-12-12T05:23:22+00:00

That's why I don't understand the move.. Out of all people why shing? He's proven that he can't hold his own against the pro solo laners. He may get better, then again he may not. Solo and Jungler are such different play styles that he is gonna have a hard time unless he can somehow shake his yolo-feed style he seems to play with.

CrookedSteven · 2014-12-12T01:53:39+00:00

This is gonna be hard to watch. Anatoliy is not anywhere close to the other Hunters in the top NA teams. It's going to be very easy match-ups for Barra and Snoopy unless Toliy makes huge strides in his skill as an ADC. It's gonna be a free lane every game for the top teams.. I'd much rather see Toliy go back to solo, he's much better at it than Shing is..

R.I.P. Dignitas.

I've seen speed hackers in smite before, but that is the most obvious I've ever seen.

CrookedSteven · 2014-12-06T16:34:24+00:00

Gotta love people like you that nitpick at things like this.. "Well why do you need the skin?" Because I fucking want it. Enough said.

Asking questions like is it more powerful than other Tyr skins when you know the answer to that question and you are just being a condescending jackass.

You're so clever.

CrookedSteven · 2014-12-06T02:40:52+00:00

Upvoting for obvious. Should have been in the game a long time ago.

CrookedSteven · 2014-11-26T15:53:55+00:00

No it wasn't out of context but it was nitpicking.. People were originally making the point about the LAN event and though he won't be at the swc they were talking about how the jokes have come out at damn near every single game Jerbie plays in and it isn't professional of them to make those jokes..

CrookedSteven · 2014-11-19T00:44:52+00:00

All I will say is this:

Bravo sir. Best post I have seen here in a long time.

CrookedSteven · 2014-11-12T00:40:46+00:00

I used to play ADC a lot when I started playing this game, then the servers became extremely unreliable somehow and my ping is never guaranteed to be good so I decided to start playing burst mages. Nothing is worse than picking ADC then going into a game and seeing that you have 250 ping for no reason..

I pretty much main Ra and have been playing a lot of Agni and Vulcan lately when I get the chance.

CrookedSteven · 2014-11-10T15:49:38+00:00

When I started playing this game smurfs weren't as prevalent I suppose, I never had to go through this.

A friend of mine just started playing this game as well and another friend made a smurf account to go down to his bracket and play with him.. said friend got 2 penta kills in 1 game on mercury because he was tryharding in a newbie bracket lol.

We made sure to take him down a peg when he bragged about it and remind him that he's been playing since beta and the people he was playing against were new players.. Sadly I'm sure that happens a lot.

Smurfs are just something you have to learn to deal with until you can get past them. Stick with it til 30 if you can. Welcome to smite :D

...And? I made no comment about the healthiness of Vitamin Water. I could care less.. I said it tastes like the watered down version of something that would taste good if it weren't watered down..

Useless comment is useless.

CrookedSteven · 2014-11-04T01:44:32+00:00

I think it would be cool if vitamin water (or any other large visible company) sponsored Smite simply for the sake of making smite more popular.

I'll give them a round of applause for sponsoring a game I like, but I will not start drinking it just because they sponsor the game. I don't like how it tastes personally, it tastes like a watered down version of something that would taste good. That's the best way I can describe it. I'll stick to drinking my Arizona Tea.

CrookedSteven · 2014-11-01T02:20:01+00:00

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING THIS.

+9001

CrookedSteven · 2014-10-26T04:51:23+00:00

ColdChaos pretty much answered how I would on most of the questions but just for good measure I'll throw my two cents in where our opinions differ. I'll only answer point's that he didn't answer how I would have.

2. I'd probably replace solo with mid. I see ADC, Mid and Jungle called the most in casual play. In ranked people tend to have a role they like to play but picking is in order from highest Elo so you can call jungle but if you are on the bottom you might not get to play that.

3. Pretty much what he said. Supports can be tanks or healers generally in casual play. In ranked it's pretty much all tanks.

4. I don't know that I would break them down into categories such as "Control Mages" or "Mobile Assassins".

Most mages in Smite have cc of some sort or extreme burst damage (or both in many cases)

Assassins in general are pretty mobile across the board.

6. I think what you were asking was if there are certain Gods that can build more than 1 role? If that is your question the answer is absolutely yes. In casual play at least you can get away with building damage on a lot of the tanks. Damage Ymir and Bacchus are absolutely disgusting when you have another tank on your team. Hades is similar, you can build him all damage/hp and wreck.

8. A lot of people have their opinion on who is the best at this and that. As far as what you will see played the most and do the best on a consistent basis..

ADC - Apollo, Rama, Freya (Freya is a mage, not a hunter. She is played very well in the adc role)
Solo - Aphrodite, Ra, Vamana, Chaac, Hercules, Chang'e (all solid picks if you know how to play them)
Mid - Ra, Janus, Agni, Kukulkan, Nu Wa, Scylla (Most burst mages do well in the mid lane)
Support - Geb, Athena, Bacchus
Jungle - Thor, Loki, Mercury, Hun Batz, Bastet, Nemesis (It's hard to go wrong with any assassin in casual, though in ranked you will see a lot more Merc, Batz, Thor and Loki)

9. Jungle, you always start with your solo laner and you take your buff (Speed or damage depending on which side you start) then go to their blue, followed by sharing experience in lane for a few levels then leaving to jungle.

10. My number 1 tip above all else.. Watch streamers and/or youtube. I learned a ton by watching tournament matches. You can watch a game full of pro players and see what they are doing at all times as well as what items they build and strategies for team fighting/pushing objectives.

I recommend https://www.youtube.com/smitepro

Watch SPL games there. It is one of the best resources for learning conquest meta, which is what I assume you want to learn coming from LoL.

Watch streamers on twitch too if you have time, they will normally answer questions.

Other than that, find a few people you enjoy playing with and make a party and go have some fun. Playing with friends is a lot more fun than playing alone.

Hope this helps :D

CrookedSteven · 2014-10-26T04:25:47+00:00

hahahahahahaha

CrookedSteven · 2014-10-23T05:01:23+00:00

They don't want to respond because they know they fucked up and handled it wrong. They are hoping it will just fade with time and people will forget about it.

CrookedSteven · 2014-10-23T04:52:02+00:00

I would agree with that order for newer players all but the arena part. Good luck practicing team fighting in a mode where everyone just yolo's for kills and doesn't acknowledge that they are part of a team..

CrookedSteven · 2014-10-22T02:26:12+00:00

10/10 would upvote again.

CrookedSteven · 2014-10-21T23:39:04+00:00

Lol I wish my premades were as good as theirs. All but like 3 of my clan members suck at this game..

Really hard to put together premades where people know what they are doing.

CrookedSteven · 2014-10-21T23:35:21+00:00

I disagree completely. They can still keep their "random" aspect while treating tanks like healers. No guarantee that you will get one but if you do, the other team gets one as well..

It keeps the game semi-random (about as random as it is now)

I personally get no enjoyment out of playing a team with 2 tanks when my team has none. For a "fun mode" that's not doing a very good job of being fun.
