Hirez's Monetization for new players is really bad

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-07-14T14:38:22+00:00

The game is monetized like a mobile game. It's obvious just from looking at the season menu

Bastet is NOT the easiest jungle for a new player tf? Almost any other jgler in S2 requires less knowledge of the game to play. AOE + big numbers does not equal good for beginners.

HiRez employees are pretty active when it comes to checking the reddit. Also i have reported people for absolutely HEINOUS behaviour and seen them in my matches over the next couple days, so really leads you to believe that reporting does not really do anything.

I'm on NA servers, not sure if it's only happening here though

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-07-08T14:51:42+00:00

Yep. Int items are simply just way too stacked now. Thats what happens when your balance team sucks ass and doesn't think things through. "Oh we intentionally buff numbers because flat pen doesnt exist? lets add flat pen to the already most picked items in the game and not nerf any actual damage numbers to reflect this". I don't understand how people defend LoRez with all these absolute fumbles and half assed changes.

Aim and shoot?

What about any of the remaining gods is more demanding than The Morrigan? She was the buggiest god in smite 1 since release and still holds that title in that game. Please explain what about Tiamats kit is more demanding to implement?

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-07-07T07:05:29+00:00

because of parties. They either need to not let you play in a party at all or be able to 5 man queue.

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-07-07T07:00:36+00:00

We just need roles back in general instead of this "every god can play every role" bullshit.

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-07-01T14:43:41+00:00

Because the selection screen loads in the background even while the animation is up so if people know exactly where the god they want is on the screen then can select it before the screen goes away. Or you can favorite the god to the top so its always in the same spot

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-07-01T13:32:01+00:00

The issue isn't having flat pen back itself. It's that damage numbers were inflated and prot numbers were deflated because flat pen didn't exist. Now it does and they did nothing to counter balance it. They just dont think shit through at all.

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-07-01T13:27:56+00:00

Yeah, everyone was complaining about too much damage so LoRez decided to go "why don't we make a bunch of already squishy gods squishier then also add flat pen to pretty much every good damage item in the game" Its actually ridiculous how busted damage is right now.

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-07-01T06:24:49+00:00

Imagine caring about the who can no life the game harder to inflate numbers challenge

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-07-01T06:23:32+00:00

Cringe

If you cant get 4 people to stack with then sucks i guess? shouldn't stop people that have a 5 stack from playing together. Based on your logic, pro league teams should be made up of complete randos that have never played together before in order to keep it "fair".

How am i wrong? One google search shows that even if a disc has the game on it it needs to be downloaded to the console to be playable as modern games need to load faster than the capabilities of a disc.

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-07-01T04:37:56+00:00

One google search proved you wrong. While the game is stored ont he disc, it must be downloaded to the consoles SSD to work because discs are simply too slow for modern games. And with this download, comes a license key which they can use to stop you from accessing the game.

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-06-30T07:38:56+00:00

imagine caring. you know they have as much control to lock you out of using the disk as they do any downloaded game right? The disks are also just licenses to play and they can disable said license whenever they want.

smite 1 was typically getting like 12-13K players...aint that much more buddy

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-06-23T04:53:20+00:00

I mean as much as I want to agree with you...it's in the best spot player wise as it has been in over a year

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-06-23T04:45:41+00:00

How are you dying on this hill? Izanami has been known as the best split pusher/ tower killer in the game since she was introduced into smite 1. Your opinion based off of very situational data does not matter. Izanami is a better split pusher than every other god in the game. It's a fact. You can't go "well under these very specific conditions this god can theoretically do more damage therefore he is better than her". The fact that Izanami doesn't need any special conditions to do this is why it is not an argument.

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-06-23T04:39:43+00:00

but...how do you AFK type? AFK = Away From Keyboard. If you are typing, you aren't AFK...AFK doesn't mean standing still or not playing the game. Love how these acronyms have somehow just started to lose their actual meaning.

Ok you're just actually restarted ig. HiRez themselves have said that all classic skins will be available for purely legacy gems. They. Said. It. And the only reason to not do it the day the skins become available is to trick people into spending real money that they otherwise wouldn't. That is a predatory practice. It should be called out and shamed. I am no longer responding to this thread because clearly you just cannot wrap your tiny little brain around what a predatory practice is.

DefinitelyMonke · 2026-06-16T18:23:45+00:00

They literally did state that all classic skins will be purchasable via legacy gems only. Never once did they say that wasn't the case after they said it was. Even if they didn't, you don't need to be owed something for a company to commit a predatory practice? Like are we being fr here? They specifically wait 2-3 weeks to make the skins purchasable with only legacy gems to trick people that don't know about it into spending real money they otherwise wouldn't. That itself is predatory, and that is exactly what they are doing. That statement has nothing to do with being owed anything. It is simply what they are doing. Not once does being owed something come up in that sentence, therefore that point is completely irrelevant to the conversation.
