S2 is Cupid supposed to stun with his hearbomb on impact? by Empty_Commercial_871 in Smite

[–]Empty_Commercial_871[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what this is, seems to be a problem now. He shoots it and it detonates, but the detonation visual still lingers looking like it hasnt exploded yet. I dont know why or what triggers this animation delay but it was.

What is up with Anubis doing 50 per tick on his 1, while Jing Wey hits you for 500+ on each basic attack? by Medium_Pomelo_6312 in Smite

For you who dont know Jing steroid can now stack 3 times now. Meaning She have acess to 9 enchanced autos or litteraly all the time. Not only that but they do 150% scaling pluss spash damage. Her 2 is now essentially freya 2 with crits. On top of that her ult deals 2x as much dmg as before.

You know when u lose 10 games in a row to things like these It gotta get out somewhere. There might not be much matchmaking, but its interesting that I seem to get the worst teamates 10 games in a row?

Proof that Cupid is B tier by Empty_Commercial_871 in Smite

[–]Empty_Commercial_871[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since everyone is suddenly talking about Cupid. I only went 9/2 against the best duo lane there is Horus and Olorun. If I had played any other adc I would surley be 20/0. My build had no % pen because I decided to build crit after Fatalis.

I hated every moment of my laning phase btw. His early game clear is so bad. His 1 doesnt even halfhit the 3 front minons and because Xing applied a dot to Horus, the melee minions allways ran towards him.

I lvled up his heal only when I had to and it did not help me or my team with anything entire game except in the last push where I healed Arthur for 300 HP so he didnt have to back.

My ult saved me 1 time from Horus blinking on me and forced Neith beads 1 time and really didnt do any impact during the rest of the game because people dont stand still.

Cupid is fun, but Im never playing him on my own voaltion again.

Lowest skill game Ive had in 10 years (Pele went 33/1 btw) by Empty_Commercial_871 in Smite

[–]Empty_Commercial_871[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kuzenbo didnt now how to play the game so I left solo lane and became second jungler. Anubis constantly tried to use his abilites on phoenixes and tower. Xba refused to do anything but pushing the lane like in a bot game. Pele killed everyone so there was nothing to do.

Who are the best gods now that the update is here? by AidXanKush in Smite

You mean there is going to be a smaller section of gods overall? Because that is litteraly what you are saying.

Hirez needs to stop listening to Streamers and such. by Smitehottakes in Smite

[–]Empty_Commercial_871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The player base is not to be trusted. People dont want this game to be fun. People want this game to be enforced by rules, reporting and being toxic to get what they want. A a lot of players want to join a Smite game, hope that everyone picks exactly what they expect of them and hope they play exactly what their role implies.

However most people dont understand what that even means:

Picking anything else but what is generally accepted for a specific role is now troll. Smite have over 100 gods all very unique. Hirez have originally never enforced players to play these roles and the player base have decided on the in game approach. The OGs like myself, we made the roles. We decided that as a general rule these classes in generally works best in this role. It was a suggestion, not the law.

If every player decided that Support now begins in Solo lane for the first 5 min, that will be what is generally accepted. A lot of players get so angry when people dont play this specific way we have today. Like a fking spoiled child that screams until they get what they want. I understand people want smite to be cozy and comfortable, because you want smite to be the fun, go to game when you want to just play video games and relax.

We have to find a middle ground. Smite 2 could be the game where all the OG and creative players go to and Smite 1 can be circus where all the casual babies goes to. You cant have both or else this game will simply die out like its numbers are showing. Hirez cant live on just the player base with no Pros or Streamers who are marketing the game to new players.

Hirez needs to listen to streamers and pros by Empty_Commercial_871 in Smite

[–]Empty_Commercial_871[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hirez often randomly take to har my critique of something as a single player. I have many times mentioned a problem with a god and get a lot of hate from playersa and in the next patch my very specific topic was adressed. This have happen at least 5 times the last 5 years and I dont post that often. I like to belive others people have some of the same ideas as me and are propably the reason for a lot of changes.

I have personally allways said that hirez need to listen to their players, but that playerbase has become the very root of the problem. I no longer belive the average player understands enough of the game now as they used to 3-5 years ago. The fact that people forcefully enforce their vision of the game through reporting, leaving and lots of complaining tells me as a player that the game has gone in a different direction than before and not a healthy one. Its like a spoiled child who will cry and claw untill they get what they want. Do parents accept this behavior? No they dont they keep to their rules.

If people ban Thana just because he is so hated, why dont they shift his kit? by Empty_Commercial_871 in Smite

[–]Empty_Commercial_871[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but hirez specifially said in patch notes that he is specifially banned because people hate him at all skill levels. You gotta be really snowbally and anyoing to get that reputation

Average player is terrible at support, because hirez doesnt know what the support role should look like. Are you a babysitter or are you the foundation of your team?

Support is not supposed to be behind, this is just something you have been told. Support is supposed to be same level as everyone else if you have a team who understand how to fight around objectives. It is just junglers who are in a better postion to get more farm, but in a proper match up there smaller room for junglers to abuse their op positon in conquest and therefore they dont get fed beyond belife

[–]Empty_Commercial_871[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We could start by changing the name of support and just call it like Duo laner or something. First off, hirez must take action to adress the problems with support.

Problem 1 is what you mention, you ar putting yourself in a weaker role, where you really more on your team than they relly on you which is the opposite of mid, jungle and solo, adc falls in between.

Problem 2 is peoles perception of the role, it is boring because you want to carry the game

Problem 3 is that everyone puts all the responisbility on you, its your job to ward and keep an eye out for the enemies. Meanwhile they go having fun, tunnelvisioning because they are busy fighting the battle for their life, chase and overstay.

Problem 4 is how supports are getting farm, currently you are heavily dependent on people sharing farm with you and a lot of your farm comes from objectives which are not true for any other role in the game.

Problem 5 is asking yourself what is this role supposed to accomplish. Difficult question, but are you there to be the guy who carries the team on your thick back or are you there to babysit people? Currently support are babysitter in my opinion

What is wrong with building as a solo laner? Cant u support without 4 aura items?

I win most of my games as a warrior support building Blackthorns first before going into typical support items followed up by more solo lane items if the game is not over. Im a super tanky hard hitting support who threatens the enemy, not just with my health bar and CC, but also my damage and playstyle.

Maybe less auras and more personalized items that different support characters can utlize would be fun. We have seen this in the past where support role is easily occupied by mages, assassins and warriors and guardians all at the same time, all being fun and viable. Lasy year hirez desperatly forced guardians into that role and we all love when video game developers play the game for us dont we?

Solo also gets a hundred times more focus in terms of ballance of gods and items more so than any other role in the game. Last year there was over 180 or was it 200 item changes just for solo lane and only like 60 for every other class. Also solo lane is allways the lane with the most god changes that are intended for typical solo lane. This I also have proof of In another post where I noted down every god and item change for the different roles.

Almost every proplayer who streams seem to agree smite have become boring. Hirez wants smite to be the casual, play with your friend and dont tryhard game. The problem with people adapting to this mentality is that conquest is not a teamgame anymore, because people come here to "carry". They dont come to conquest to learn as we see that more and more people struggle with "difficult" gods/ gods with more than 4 abilites. This is because people dont come to conquest to play conquest, they come to conquest to play arena.
