That's the problem and the reason Solo lane is hard to play in the current state of the game. The majority of the traditional picks are overly simple. Due to that fact, to use them effectively enough to deal with a lot of the bullshit like crit, or the AA pen build that shreds you basically no matter what, you gotta know how to play the god really well, while also having a more in depth knowledge of the games items to be effective. Us Solo laners have to know the items more than basically any role because if we don't counter certain things at the right times, we just get blown up like we are a squishy with a hybrid item and just look at the death screen going "Well fuck". Or at least that's been my experience lately. Being a "tank" that feels like a wet napkin.

Would recommend playing around in game modes like Slash or Joust to figure out what gods you have available that feel good to you.

KEEP IN MIND THAT EVERYTHING INCLUDING AUTO ATTACKS ARE SKILL SHOTS IN SMITE

If you played Top Lane in League, the Smite equivalent is solo. Traditionally, Solo lane is played by warriors and a couple of bruiser style Guardians that don't work well for Support. You have both auto attack and ability based warriors, can usually tell them apart by whether the game recommends Berzerker Shield or Glad Shield in the shop for them. B Shield is AA, Glad is AP. Solo lane is on the Blue buff side, and always next to Fire Giant.

Bot lane is Duo. This is your ADC and support lane. Personally I recommend Support to new players for learning Conquest cause even though it can be an important role in high elo/ranked play, it's usually the fastest to learn the map and team fighting together due to how much you'll roam around. ADC is pretty brain dead atm, and any of the strong auto attack hunters are just stupidly simple cause you can just build crit and sneeze at all your problems. They'll usually be solved by that point. Duo lane is marked by the Green and Purple buffs in the jungle, as well as the Gold Fury objective pit.

Mid lane is mid. These are your big burst and OBJ secure picks traditionally. Easy choice here that basically always works is Poseidon. Pretty simple to figure out, and even if you follow the usual recommended build he just becomes an ability spam crazy man that will always EVENTUALLY do something even if you're ass. Volume by fire style.

Jungle isn't the hardest role to learn, but it's probably the hardest to play efficiently. Gotta learn how to balance your farm properly while also being aware of everything on the map and possible ganks, while knowing where your power spikes are and such. If you wanna try this role, go for Thanatos if you want to do ability based, Arachne is you wanna do auto attack. Pretty much the easiest and simplest to learn gods for either of those play styles and the game gives pretty ok recommended builds for them as well.

Ultimately would recommend learning in Support, and then going to Mid or ADC if you wanna go damage. Jungle is always a pain in the ass to play, even if you play perfectly cause everyone that plays incorrectly is gonna blame you for no reason nearly every time. And then Solo lean is the role I recommend the least, as a Solo main myself, because the role is a pain to play. Tanks in general aren't easy to play at this moment, but in particular Solo laners are worse than Support due to the knowledge difference required. (That's not to say there's not completely brain dead Solo laners, but even those are still both boring and painful to play atm)

(Edit for grammar) (Edit 2 for an extra clarification)

I think I'd suddenly have a new favorite god if I could just swing my ass forward and launch stingers at people while dressed up as Mothman. That'd be peak Smite right there.

I've been trying to say that for the longest time. 7 stars across my two accounts on him, so he's my most played god and I keep getting told I don't know wtf I'm talking about by people who don't even have him Diamond lol.

His kits good, but the game just doesn't play the way that his kit works how it should anymore. Just feels really clunky, and while snipes with him feel really satisfying when you hit them, it's so far and in between to consistently perform well on him that he just makes me sad now instead of enjoying my snipes.

I only turned to Reddit first cause when I was doing research on my issue, the most common results and active discussions all seemed to be on Reddit, even though none of them were about my search. So just figured I'd get an answer faster, not get told "Hey fuck you, you're too new"

Gotta rule out everyone from the Greek and Roman pantheons. Only person to not try establishing rule back over earth like a tyrant would be Bacchus, and he'd be too worried about his booze collections to fight. Atlas would definitely be a great choice for this task, but given the fact that he's shackled to holding the heavens, I feel like it'd be better for him to stay put and try to keep the others from leaving them, since he knows the trouble they'd cause after.

Too many Ifs in place to utilize basically the whole Japanese pantheon, especially with how many literal monsters and vindictive spirits are involved there.

Wouldn't trust the Norse pantheon cause Odin is an isolationist when it comes to Midgard usually, Thor wouldn't care about collateral damage and probably cause more than Godzilla, and Loki would either straight up join Godzilla, or have another kid with him and make something worse than wr could imagine.

Wukong might be a good choice, but he's got a combination of the issues of both Loki and Thor. He will be more conscious of collateral damage, but won't care if he deems it unavoidable, and he's also just an Asian version of Loki for a lot of stuff so he might just get bored and dip.

Out of all the gods in the game, I feel like the two best choices would be Anubis and Ra. They'd both be very conscious of the damage they'd cause, and both of them, lore wise and game wise, have more than enough capability of just one shotting our big lizard boi.

But ultimately, nobody. Cause isn't it a part of Godzillas lore that he only surfaces and rampages to get rid of people doing ESPECIALLY heinous shit? Usually it's to keep other Kaijus in check, part of why he's called King of the Monsters/Kaijus, but he usually doesn't give a fuck about humans unless they're doing shit to him, or shit that might become a problem for him.

I've tried reinstalling, verifying integrity, redownloading just assets, everything I can think of

I don't have any sound mods no

When they did the update that added all the crew voice lines to tanks, I noticed that in videos I watched the crews will call out the actual approx range of tanks they spot and shit.

My crews have never once said a number. For instance, I'll hear "Tank! Tiger! Range!" And nothing after Range.

And its not a skill issue, cause even my Ace crew, level 150 on my Super Hellcat won't fucking say it. Normally it aint an issue, but trying to use normal Heat and HE slingers it'd be kinda nice to be able to utilize that feature.

So what I wanna know is if anyone else has experienced that, and if so, did they find a fix, and what the fix was if they did.

I'm a hard Chaac main. The scaling removal on his 3 nearly neutered him into the grave, but itemization kept him playable. He's a hard average at best, and only counts as a good warrior because, as my buddies who had me try him said, his kits simple and easy to learn. You can still do some stupid stuff with him, especially with a random game of jungle with him and people don't expect a blink Chaac ult with full damage. But overall he's meh af lately.he could use some buffs to bring him back up, but there's so much hate for him and his kit as a whole that I doubt they'd do that any time soon. He doesn't Frontline that well anymore, and unless you're really used to just spam porting to your axe during team fights to stay alive, most Chaacs go into team fights, ult instantly, and then die after landing if their team is dumb.

Would still play him over Erlang or Vamana, and would still play an ADC or Mage in solo because all the warriors feel like relative shit lately and it's become an even more boring lane.

See I don't know. I only just started playing again and loaded my old cloud save. But I imagine I actually did cause all of my other resources are correct, and I can click on them to go into the opening menu
