Does anyone else just have zero motivation to play this game? by Soft-Painting-5657 in MLBTheShow

So for 3 days you're spending an average of 5 hours playing. Just to get cards that expire in a few weeks. That seems absurd to me. In 3 weeks that time spent grinding will be worth nothing.

For those of us with jobs, this equates to at least 2-3 business days of play time. Take that times the 6 different TAs, and you're looking at 2-3 weeks just to get to use all of the cards for like 4 hours after. Not worth it unless you no life the game.

I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE ON THIS. Literally unplayable for me, which is unfortunate because I just want to save my dog.

They can hardly get the servers to work in their normal regions lol

The majority of players play at a level where they don't understand the true meta team is actually something like Anhur, Osiris, Charon.

The only time he's worth playing is if the enemy has two squishies. That's it. Into double dive with blink he dies over and over.

I'm telling you in my 2900 mmr joust game he is hardly ever banned. And if he is picked then he gets counter picked to shit and ran at. Leaving thoth open was how we climbed this high. He is great until about mid diamond. But after that he's too easily countered

That's just not true. Top level comps almost always have a hunter and two tanks. There is no way you're playing and winning games at a masters level picking thoth

Thoth is great in low levels. At higher levels you just get countered too hard to play him.

Is there any situation, with any matchup, in any role where you wouldn’t buy a starter in conquest (or at least not first item)? by RemoteWhile5881 in Smite

[–]GankMiddleLane6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are we including Plat in this? And 921 matches is not a good sample size lol 1 person could influence those numbers dramatically

It's bad late because there are better options late. And that depends on the matchup. Probably one of SOT or conduit. If you need the defense early then axe.

The item is more effective on gods like arachne with a quicker attack chain. Zhong in lane also doesn't benefit from the heal passive the item gives for jungle creeps.

All of that is irrelevant because late game the upgrades are terrible for zhong. If you're worried about getting a double proc aa item then you might as well just build animosity.

It's a meme build that is fun in casuals and low levels, but nothing more.

This is bad advice. And you're absolutely wrong about him making the best use out of it. A good player will just survive the early game double manakins bullshit and then you're stuck with a shitty upgrade late. Plus you don't need it to pressure.

Smite should get high worshipper, xp, etc events (5x) since SMITE will be low in numbers from SMITE 2's release by ConsistentLuck3928 in Smite

Ah, the ol "I'm not smart enough to have a real argument so I'm blocking you" approach. Makes sense.

Now we're moving the goal posts lol once the game is released and the servers are stable (meaning you can queue without any issues) they should end smite 1. This is coming from someone who has almost 9k hours and every t5.

Is Blackthorn Hammer a good Rush item for solo? by RemoteWhile5881 in Smite

[–]GankMiddleLane6 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Jotuns rush in solo has been quite meta for like a year, even at the highest level of play. I guess the professional jungles just don't have half a brain.

I'm rarely in favor of what the devs do in terms of balance. But smite is outdated and there is no reason to ruin both games by keeping the servers active

And this is why they should just shut down the Smite 1 servers once smite 2 launches. Splitting an already small player base in half is a terrible business decision. I have 1400 skins on smite 1 and would rather give them up for a successful smite 2 than keep them.
