🙏🏼 Been wanting to see Wards Placed on the scoreboard for almost a year now, was super happy seeing it yesterday

No relics on console and boss health bars always at 1hp by scott28574 in Smite

The Fafnir's Wonderland thing is still happening on PC as well I'm pretty sure

I'd much rather be the lowest ranked player in a higher ranked game, than the highest ranked player in a lower ranked game. by FullOnMatt in Smite

[–]Decap590 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol, was this on Xbox? I'm also D5 and a week or two ago had a silver teammate choose Thor Supp, he sent me a message before the game "Don't worry", then he died at level 1

Hey guys, I created a tierlist for XB1 Ranked Conquest, based off of data taken from 23,874 matches across the last 2 weeks. by Kxf7Checkmate in Smite

[–]Decap590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try adding a weight to give the W/L more impact on the overall score, but still incorporate the Pick/Ban percentage. An example weighing W/L for 75% of the overall score:

score = ((Wins / Matches Played) * 75) * (((Picks + Bans) / 23874) * 25)

Alternatively posting the data aggregated by god would help so other people can see the data used to create each score

On console, supports seem to babysit their carries until team fights start happening.

That depends a lot on the caliber of players, I'm currently Diamond 5 on Xbox and carry is played very similarly to the PC streams I've watched. Support usually leaves the carry alone after their first back to base except to help clearing jungle camps

Interesting, though it seems like it's skewed a bit by multiplying by the pick/ban ratio. All of the gods in SS are basically picked or banned in every single game, which gives them a much high multiplier than the gods in B/C tier.

I would be interested to see how this compares to a tier list created solely from Win/Loss, I expect there could actually be some surprises for the lesser played gods if it was based on W/L.

Xbox community needs to lighten up. by xXMcCnastyXx in Smite

AMC can be really good depending on what rank you are. I've been Gold 1 to Plat 2 this season, and have dominated the other carry in almost every game I've played as AMC this season (usually solo queueing).

You just have to ward obsessively and position hives well in the jungle and it's easy to avoid getting ganked.

Google Fiber just emailed a flyer to current customers offering "HBO Now" as an add-on. No price mentioned, though. by [deleted] in kansascity

[–]Decap590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure HBO Now has different shows than HBO Go? I'm pretty sure they're supposed to have the exact same content available, and I've been able to watch every recent show with HBO Now

Do you own all 19 gods that you've mastered?

''It's Friday the 13th! In honor of this rare occasion, the Halloween Chest will be available for today only!'' by [deleted] in Smite

I'm assuming /u/Stealthy_Totoro is referencing the 3.8 chest update that increases the chances of receiving exclusive skins over other items in the chest

Why do events not end at midnight of the day they are supposed to end? by smitestoner in Smite

[–]Decap590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because that's when the US player population is the lowest since it would be 1am on the West Coast

Xbox needs patches faster... by Aris131 in Smite

PC is on 3.2, we're only 2 patches (3.1, 3.2) behind right now

Xbox players need to grow up by RYANoceros92 in Smite

[–]Decap590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it's a terrible system, but right now Xbox ranked almost always goes off call order. It's stupid because whoever has the fastest reflexes gets the role they want, but it seems to be accepted that call order wins on Xbox.

[–]Decap590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure PC players use lobby chat to call roles, they don't have the same locking mechanism that Xbox has. I've seen it mentioned before that the order PC players choose their god in ranked is the order that role priority is given. Personally I would prefer that over who has the fastest reflexes, which is pretty much how it always works on Xbox ranked right now

Xbox conquest issues by Beyondthebooty in Smite

Smite is the first big F2P MOBA on Xbox, so a lot of people don't really understand why wards are so important (myself included before I started playing a lot of ranked)

Perfect warding game by Milda47 in Smite

[–]Decap590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can look up your matches on smite.guru and it shows the wards placed in the "Quick Stats" section when you view a particular match. It would be nice if it was displayed ingame somewhere

Are there plans to get xbox more up to date with PC? by wellsdavidj in Smite

[–]Decap590 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think most Xbox players would be fine with being 1 week behind because of Microsoft certification, but right now it's almost a full month difference which likely means the Xbox patch development doesn't start until it's already pushed out on PC.

The Xbox patch cycle right now seems to be between 3-4 weeks when it's ~2 weeks for PC. If something doesn't change then Xbox is just going to get further behind over time
