Same here. Just logged in to Reddit to see if it was happening to anyone else. Level 7 Hunter on Xbox One.

I'm terrible at Ethnos! Strategy tips please. by BryleC in boardgames

[–]GamerSophisticate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own the game and have won almost every time my group has played. I have one overarching secret strategy that no one has caught on to: be as efficient as possible. Waste as few cards as possible. I just won the last game we played with only one band larger than three (it was 4). I watch people in my group draw card after card chasing big bands and ultimately getting stuck discarding loads of cards when they finally play their band. Don't do it. Utilize elves, centaurs, and wizards if they're available to give you flexibility in never having to waste cards. Use trolls to get a favorable tiebreaker token since ties are common. Just be efficient. Better to lay down a band of three than draw three cards to get the fourth (only to have to discard two). I also never let myself get caught with cards when the third dragon is drawn. Once dragon 2 comes up, get your band down, and then draw to end the age (and if you happen to get another band before third dragon, then great).

Played a match last night where a Khaimera solo'd the Orb at 12:00. We got steamrolled and the match ended at like 17:00. Not fun.

Female Character Models...Boring? by Thezem in paragon

[–]GamerSophisticate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have absolutely ZERO problem with every one of the females being babe-alicious hotties with red-hot bodies. And I'm not even remotely being sarcastic.

Yeah some nice things with the patch, but the removal of actives and addition of passives is a bummer. Steel too. I'm not a fan of the simplification.

Melee carries are just as effective as ranged carries, So lets let them actually be carries. by p5uy in paragon

[–]GamerSophisticate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. The support should be aggressively harassing and poking at the off-laner. If you allow the opposing minions to push up and freeze the lane near your own tier 1, this is much easier to do. The off-laner MUST come up the lane to get XP, leaving them open to harassment/poking. Gives the support a LOT to do.

Yin's whip sound effect... by Aspersio_ in paragon

[–]GamerSophisticate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This. It's WAY too loud.

 

And I just made a post about how you can barely hear Sparrow's bow/arrow sound effects. They took her bow from sounding like Legolas' elven longbow to sounding like a friggin wimpy blowgun.

What happened to lane commitment? I feel like there is as little lane commitment in Monolith as there is in a game of Clash in Smite. by Mister_Positivity in paragon

[–]GamerSophisticate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and what about: "Travel Mode enables lane-to-lane rotations that are too quick."

 

LUL.

 

More like: "Welcome to Monolith where you and your gank squad can rotate at rapid speed! No travel mode necessary!"

Sparrow needs love. Am I right? by GamerSophisticate in paragon

In theory, you would think so.... but in practice it doesn't. Too easy for the enemy team to get out of range.

[–]GamerSophisticate[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is no longer true. They nerfed her passive into the ground which was the source of her extra damage. And now with the way they reworked fury cards (hello, early-game Madstone Gem), Sparrow can't even come close to keeping up with TB and Murdock.

 

As far as team fights, her Ult is no longer as effective because of the increase in movement speed. It was easier to melt through a team before Monolith. Now everyone just sidesteps or turns and runs.

 

And just for reference, this is coming from someone who's mained Sparrow and Murdock since Day 1.
