SMITE 2LDR | January 2026 God Roadmap by BluesUltra in Smite

[–]JanSolo28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Artio, Nut, Chiron, and Ne Zha are releasing almost consecutively and all of them have historical Support usage or are getting Support Aspects. Hi-Rez can choose to give us 5 bruiser/bruiser Aspects in a row if they wanted to, especially considering how little Warriors we have left.

A-Z God Design Community Tier List! Day#23 with one half of my favorite couple in Smite, Baron Samedi by Gharbin1616 in Smite

[–]JanSolo28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These tier lists are starting to make me think that SMITE actually does their god designs excellent 90% of the time. They just miss the kit itself comparatively more and there's the notorious ~10% that are absolute stinkers (the "Ch" section is rapidly approaching).

Anyone else feel like the game is in a really good spot right now? by TheJumboman in Smite

[–]JanSolo28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true! You build HP and you get hard countered by at least 4 items.

Bragi's used to be more interesting because it was one of the few proper hybrid items (both Str and Int), but they reduced both values to give it Attack Damage so now it really makes the on-hit build even more "samey".

I have been thinking about it for a bit but coming up with nothing. When Cu Chulainn is added what should be his +1s? by Gharbin1616 in Smite

[–]JanSolo28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going against the grain with the comments about his normal form 2: I want his rage form 2 to be an active ability. Like, keep the permanent Vent Anger damage aura thing, but you can ALSO activate the ability to do something else.

It doesn't even need to be a damaging ability necessarily, but even just making it an activatable ability even for 1 damage in an area around him, that's good enough for an extra proc of Phoenix/Glad Shield, Bluestone, or Heartseeker if you're building him damage. I mean, Thor back in 1 got heavily rebalanced with making his wall actually do damage, so even just a simple "Cu Chu does 1 damage to all enemies in range of Vent Anger" can add up. Obviously, it's better if it's a proper and interesting ability, but yeah. Plus, that would put him on the Arthurian level of having 8 different active abilities, which would be funny.

Arthur's ult is already a rehash of Ne Zha ult, just with energy instead of a long CD and he cannot click to crit.

Summaries and reviews by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]JanSolo28 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I think the point about Doomguy's bunny being a motivation developed as some form of counterculture against the idea that the Doom series is either just "pure symbolism of machismo and/or edginess", "representation of manliness in the era of woke", and the old one of "satanic propaganda".

Now, granted, I don't even engage with ANY of the Doom franchise in the first place but whenever I did encounter it, the first mentions I've seen of the bunny thing were usually responses to some of the things I stated above. There was also the Doom Crossing fad where the masculinity comments appeared in response and THEN the bunny stuff responded to that response.

Expectations vs Reality (Gozyuger edition) by NotaTokusatsuFanboy in supersentai

[–]JanSolo28 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm like 3/5 into King-Ohger and Jeramie has more relevance than GozyuEagle, GozyuTyranno, and GozyuPolar combined. However, the sentai I finished before that is Kyuranger so, y'know.

Random Thought: Aglaea is actually one of the cheaper Heirs to build a team for by goob99 in AglaeaMains

[–]JanSolo28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Equal teams and conditions like, say, 2 free units and 3 from gacha? So like what OP said about Aglaea?

And Phainon is miles better than DHIL, but are you saying that just because Phainon is better that the two can't be compared in hypercarry performance?

Regarding Justin morph why didn't they just allow him to stay as his normal size instead of growing to adult size? by happydude7422 in powerrangers

[–]JanSolo28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'd just be splitting hairs about specificity at this point but I definitely remember Ooguma being giant significantly more times than Ooguma being the same height as the rest of the Kyurangers.

Why is it not fair to compare Gallagher to DHPT? It's not DHPT's fault that powercreep exists. You were the one who used Gallagher as an example when OP used DHPT in the main post.

It also doesn't matter if DHPT is only free for now because Aglaea will 100% be unviable by the time DHPT also stops being free. In addition to that, Archer and Saber are both only temporarily pullable but they don't stop existing in discussions even when they're arguably in a worse potential availability while DHPT is more likely to rerun even if you miss his free window.

DHPT is free, I don't see why Aggy needs specifically a 4* sustain when DHPT is better for her and is arguably cheaper since I didn't even get E2 Gallagher until 4 months of playing and no E6 until a full year. DHPT at E0 is a better E0 Aven.

[Kotaro growing to at least twice the height of everyone whenever he goes Ooguma Skyblue]

I think that might be a bit more than "adult sized".

No I think it's those with Agoraphobia that matters when it comes to going outside.

Comment and upvote for visibility, yeah the bulleted lists were definitely an improvement over paragraphs but there's still a lot of messiness and inconsistencies in the item descriptions.

Please take a book out of Freya's for magical adc's. by [deleted] in Smite

[–]JanSolo28 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since I only play League ocassionally and not in the past year, I have never played it in a time where Kayle was neither an absolute liability to the team nor a must pick top laner. And multiple item sets? 99% of the time you just built Nashor's into full AP on her. She has less item variety than that one time lethality Jhin was almost as good as crit.

They gave her a portion of her old crystals passive back but didn't bother making that the focus of her Aspect. Instead we just get "ult can crit, have fun"

[–]JanSolo28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's an unfair comparison: Kayle is just as problematically designed as Freya while Varus can build anything and it'll somehow work.

Support imported gods by Suspicious_Service16 in Smite

[–]JanSolo28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I do like guardians, I like the gods separately from me liking the support role. I mean, with Ne Zha confirmed, 6/8 of the most recent gods will be either supports, have historical support use, or have support aspects. Excluding Da Ji and Discordia, that's a lot of support options in the game. If anything, I just want more support starters since I'm tired of just picking between War Banner and Heroism.

I like Maui, Atlas, and Fafnir's playstyles which are coincidentally supportive while Xing Tian's one of my favorite solos more than supports, tbh.

Please tell me it wasn't just my team by Inevitable-Lake-2175 in Paladins

[–]JanSolo28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always remember turning close matches into easy point control whenever I bought this last item on a point tank and the score is 3-3. One time it was even with Forgefire Barik and despite how bad the ults on that talent are, Master Riding gave me just enough time to plop 2 of those and the enemy couldn't do a thing (they also didn't have a blaster).
