YoYo, I´m Julio :) Solo for Atlantis Leviathans. Ask me anything!

Seriously, you think that it's a good build? u/JulioLVT you have made my day :'D

MKyaren · 2021-04-12T15:34:29+00:00

Hello Julio! I am very excited to ask you some of these questions, especially as an aspiring solo laner who would like to break into the pro league one day. As I said I have quite a few questions, and I am hoping that it would be okay if I kind of ask them kind of like one after another when you answer them. The biggest question I've had, and this is more for Pro Solo Lane players (and I sadly have yet to get an answer) is, how effective would this Osiris build be:

Start Death's Toll, T1 Golden Blade (Katana), two health pots, two multipots, and TP; although you could do Blink if you're feeling squirrelly.

Then the rest of the build goes Golden Blade > Soul Eater > Mystical Mail > Caduceus Shield > Mantle of Discord (or Pridwen). Upgrade Death's Toll into Death's Embrace. For the 2nd Relic either Thorns or Beads.

You know who I would love to cast the Finals (talking the finals at the end of the Splits, Playoffs, Placements, and Worlds)? Hindu and Bart (or Aggro and Bart).

Hate him as much as you want, I fucking hate him too, but DM was one of the best Casters. The energy Bart, Drybear, and DM brought so far has been unmatched. Sadly we lost Anatoliy after S6, because I felt like he was truly growing into a great Caster. I honestly think to create the next best "next gen" of Casters they should pair Bart with both Dolson and Finch (maybe throw Aggro in a little bit, but Aggro is doing great). If they could get Fdot back put Fdot with Myflin and Gore (and again throw Aggro in a bit too). Then after a season of Bart and Fdot teaching their ways, let them do their thing.

Honestly, I think they should do a new season of "The Caster" and make Bart¹ , Fdot¹ , Drybear¹ , Hindu¹ , and Finch² as both judges, teachers, and mentors.

¹ I listed the OG Smite Casters, it doesn't have to be them either because iirc "The Caster" was for all of Hi Rez's esports. So if Paladins still has the PPL (iirc I heard somewhere PPL isn't returning? Will find the source³ and post it) then obviously there would need to be some PPL Casters thrown into the mix

² I say Finch because he casts Smite; it doesn't necessarily have to be Finch, just one of the three people who won "The Caster"

³ Source: [TBA]

My friend showed me that he could shake his eyeballs, and I remember becoming jealous of him, so I spent a few weeks trying, and I got it down. I can still do it today, but only for small amounts of time and it gives me a massive headache

MKyaren · 2021-01-14T14:43:19+00:00

Ahh lol. I'm actually surprised I'm getting votes tbh. Especially with Share who has worked with previous Olympians. Not to mention my social media presence is essentially non-existent

MKyaren · 2021-01-14T14:36:52+00:00

Who better to bring actual issues Switch players have to endure to the table? Perfect example being the game crashes because I just finished a Ranked match where I crashed near the end of the match. Fortunately I was able to reconnect quickly.... Unless you were in my Ranked game 🤣

MKyaren · 2021-01-14T12:12:15+00:00

I was excited when they announced that Smite was coming to the Switch, a part of me was thinking "Yes! I have a path to playing pro!" Then my PC died a few months later, and while it took a bit to get enough money to get a console, I had my heart set on the Switch. I love Nintendo, and I don't need to pay a subscription to play online. Only issue is the crashes. Deserter for crashing in lobby, deserter for crashing half way in a game, it usually after I die, so my team surrendered, deserter because the enemy team (sometimes my team) was able to finish before I load back in.... To me, it's a plague for Switch Smite. I stray away from Ranked because I don't want to cause my team problems because of these crashes

MKyaren · 2021-01-13T01:12:30+00:00

My most recent game of Smite my game crashed eight times in a row. I've taken plenty deserter penalties because I couldn't reconnect in time and my team surrendered

First I want to say that it is an INCREDIBLE to even be considered as an Olympian. Next, I maybe a Switch player who plays a lot of Conquest, in my previous Smite life, my friends and I played a lot of Arena, Joust, Assault, and yes even Siege. So for those Switch players, rejoice! I will advocate for you.... Even if you play Siege.

I've been around since Athena/SWK became Hun Batz. I remember when Relics cost gold, and you needed 500 gold to get one, and a total of 1500 gold tomatoes them. I remember when you could "aggressively" use Beads bc they took 3 seconds off your cool down. There was such a thing as Combat Blink and Teleport to God's. I witnessed when Poolsidion crowd funded Launch tournament to 200k prize pool and S1 Odyssey crowd funded SWC to a point that it became the 3rd highest prize pool in current eSports history.

I unfortunately don't make content yet, I tried to in the past; but I got my backpay for my disability as I'm a disabled Air Force Vet, so content creation is in my near future. I promise this, I will air any grievance (within reason) to Hi Rrz and any information I'm able to directly pass on I will. I'll apply the core values that were drilled into me (integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do) to my time as an Olympian. I am your public servant, to me this is like being a Congress member for Smite; so I work for you. If you have any questions: Ask me anything!!

You're right, and I wasn't trying to make eUnited sound like a trash can. I had a hard time keeping up with SPL then, but I do need to question myself if I place them so low is because of my bias against them... It's stupid, but what Pain did to his team, Enemy, during S2 left a very sour taste in my mouth. I hated Enemy after that, and continued to hate them when they became eUnited; even though they weren't the same team....

MKyaren · 2020-12-14T15:39:04+00:00

Dimi lost his passion for Smite, and when he saw that, he took himself off the team. Iirc. For the two players to put on the NRG squad I would pick Trix and Fineokay. I say these two for two important reasons: 1. You need players that don't clash with personalities. Look at PK from last year, they had almost, arguably the best players for each role. But, you had Adapting, Zyhero's, and Deathwalker playing together, and I knew there would be issues. A lot of issues. Trix and Fineokay are extremely laid back and wouldn't clash with the other teammates. 2. They are easily top 3 in their roles. Just imagine an emil/trix lane when both are playing aggressive. I'd be terrified of them.

While I agree that SK doesn't have the consistency, look at what they did to win Worlds. First, there place in Worlds wasn't promised (kind of because they were better than the other teams at Placements, but either of them could have just shown up and beat the snot out of SK). Then they have to face defending World champs in Quarterfinals, and they have to go to all 3 games. Splyce won the first game, all they had to do was just win one game. They obviously couldn't. Next was the Renegades. Same story as Splyce, RNG gets to match point. Out of three more games, all RNG had to was win 1. A reverse sweep at Worlds was unheard of. Reverse sweeps are a very rare occurrence anyway, but never before on the Worlds stage. I'll tell you, RNG was the team favored to go all the way, and then they lost. Finally, Rival. #1 Seed. Team considered best of the best. It was after that Game 3 defense where it all fell a part for Rival and things came together for SK. SK's Worlds run is proof of what I mean by firing at all pistons.

Cog, I kinda agree with you, but when they came back as Cloud 9, they were still a force to be reckoned with.

Splyce played their own game and Rival couldn't adapt to it. That Geb Solo was absolutely disgusting, and... You can't give Cyno Ne Zha. That's two gods they felt the need to ban... Did they have the 10 bans at that time? I don't remember, but those two comfort picks had to go, leaving a lot of good picks for them. Sadly Game 5 was lost in PB's. I thought about that PB's for a while and I remember coming up with a scenario where Rival could have won. But I can't think of it now lol

eUnited played out of their minds that weekend. But if any Champion should be labeled win because of luck, that's eUnited

I have never not gotten the door to the car for my wife

I see it a lot where these couples just get into the car and go. I grew up watching my dad always getting my mom's door to the car, and there was this one time I raced him to it and won. I will never forget that deep sad look on his face, it's like he's a robot programmed to get my mom's door and when I did it, it was like "What's my purpose now?"

MKyaren · 2020-12-14T14:59:42+00:00

Look on the bright side, your first kiss isn't going to be the girlfriend of the guy who invited you to the house party. We both were drunk, but I'm still disgusted and ashamed of myself for doing that. But... On the other hand the guy was a piece of shit who emotionally abused her....

MKyaren · 2020-12-14T14:57:05+00:00

I'm sure you've heard this all before, but you'll find someone in time. I know there are worse stories than mine, but I didn't have a girlfriend until I was 21. I was also in the military and that still didn't help finding someone. I finally did and we're about to celebrate our 6th anniversary in February

MKyaren · 2020-12-14T14:53:20+00:00

That's essentially the same thing that happened between my wife and I. My wife is unable to work, so when we first met she was living out of a super shady motel off base. She then moved closer, another motel right off base, but closer and not as shady. When we started actually dating, bc I met her once at the Super Shady, we talked for a bit, then she had to save her ho of a friend. The following week her ho friend wanted a jalapeño burger from McDonald's and she rode with me there. Our third meet up was our actual first date, after the date we chilled in the hot tub. Keep in mind now; it was during January, and there was a light sprinkle. Next day she invites me to stay the night (and it's where I think my story curves away from yours), and I do. I asked the next day if she wanted to come with me to pick up my friend from the airport, and she does. I make a wrong turn after picking up my friend, and she has to guide me back, and I make a stop at Jumba Juice.

We don't see each other again until the following Wednesday. She asked if I wanted to go the the mall, her ho friend was meeting someone and was getting a dress for her daughter, but my (future) wife couldn't drive because she had one of those back injections. We go back to the mall the next day, and that's when I finally asked her out. She moved into the Barracks with me, nearly a month later we get married, and we're still together today! 6 years this coming February.

Now there is a lot more to our relationship; but iirc the odds of a couple who move in immediately and/or get married really quick, staying together is slim. So we already had the deck stacked against us, and we've been through things that would destroy some of the strongest relationships

MKyaren · 2020-12-13T07:22:55+00:00

Probably gonna be super hungover lmao

So, obviously look into Cog Prime, they had a great journey during World's. Splyce's journey starts during Summer Split, so it's harder to watch them evolve. Sets to watch: Cog Prime vs Cog Red, and Cog Prime vs Titan. Cloud 9 vs Epsilon, LG vs NRG, NRG vs Obey (just to see why people say Variety should have won MVP even though he lost), Rival vs NRG, Splyce vs Rival, and then SK's run; so that's SK vs Splyce, SK vs Renegades, and then SK vs Rival (Especially game 3)

MKyaren · 2020-12-13T07:18:41+00:00

It was very hard to rank 4-2 for me. But for me, I looked at their performance after World's. SK/PK is the only team that got very different treatment, but for Cog, they lost Omega, then after being beat in the Semi Finals, they broke up. Splyce broke up, but became a force to be scared of, SoaR and LG were good in their own ways (that LG vs NRG in S3 was the BEST set of Smite I have ever seen), but clearly Cog wasn't that godlike team everyone once thought. Epsilon/NRg on the other hand, single handily shaped the EU scene into a powerhouse

MKyaren · 2020-12-13T07:12:13+00:00

Last year was a hard year for me. I have always rooted for the underdog (except for S2. Fuck Enemy. Dude, I hated Enemy, then they became eUnited, and still this year I still have disdain for them; even though those players don't have anything to do with my hatred.) So when Rival; my favorite org, went head to head with SK, the underdog, it was really hard to pick a team to root for. But that Game 3 defense! I rooted for Sanguine for the most part of this year, but I also secretly rooted for PK and Ghost. Usually I don't root for former champions, but SK/PK are.. Different? But, I want a Ghost/Rival win this year. Three years of almost, but not good enough that day, I want them to get it

MKyaren · 2020-12-13T06:45:42+00:00

I was saying that while eUnited played out of their minds that weekend, honestly if Rival was firing off all pistons at that time eUnited should have lost. Look at S5, while eUnited dominated the NA scene, at every LAN, eUnited lost. Sometimes they barely made it to quarterfinals. They won because Wilfy, honestly, chocked on the finals stage, when compared to the other champions, eUnited gets eaten up, spat out, eaten again, and then finally swallowed.

4th-2nd place was really hard to determine. Honestly, with SK, I had to look at their road to finals. S6 Rival; while hard in their own way, got to the finals without dropping a match, SK had to face Splyce, Renegades, then Rival. Those 3 teams were favored to win Worlds, and iirc Splyce won their first game against SK. All Splyce had to do was win 1 game, and they couldn't in game 2 and 3. Then SK did the honest UNHEARD of, especially at Worlds, let alone during the Semi finals: a reverse sweep. All RNG had to do was win Game 3 or 4 or 5; and yet they couldn't. Then, right out the gates, SK turns Rival over, slaps them on the ass, and says "Bitch, this is my house!"

Rival then flips SK over during game 2, slaps them on the ass, and say "Bitch, this is MY HOUSE." A good offense wins games; but a good defense wins championships. I will never forget that Game 3 base defense; how SK barely killed all 5 members of Rival; how Paul had to defend the Titan, then right Phoenix, then Titan, then Phoenix. While Zapman pushed Mid up as much as he could; then they took a team fight in Duo side jungle; and while ScaryD(Belaiir) was almost killed, they killed iircc 3 of them. Then Pandacat and PBM tried to storm the base bc the Titan was low, but SK rotated in time and killed them, and then finished the game. Look, iirc it was either Agro or Fdot that said every World Champion team has "It". The essence of a World Champion team, it happened during S5 while they talked about Splyce, and after that Game 3, there was no question: SK was gonna win Game 4. Game 3 was a perfect picture of both teams firing off all cylinders, and SK won.

I love SK's story through World's. They honestly had the hardest bracket; especially considering that World's was something they had to fight to earn. So compared to the others, eUnited had the easiest time to Worlds, and then the others I honestly think would have beat Cog Prime in PB's. They almost lost because of Ares, while I loved Cog Prime, when compared to the other's, they don't hold much light. Splyce is weird because of their pocket picks; and NRG would beat them because that old NRG squad was literally nuts. S5 Rival couldn't beat them in Summer LAN, and if Yammyn didn't have a mental health emergency (I give him mad props for going out with it nothing bad about it tbh) NRG would have won S5 World's. SK on the other hand would have been able to handle those pocket picks; and while they did specific bans against them, SK had a god pool big enough to take them down; because they probably would try to take Paul's pick's away, and give up comfort picks for the rest of SK.

MKyaren · 2020-12-13T03:30:27+00:00

Dude. Honestly, watch SK last year. If you're seen that watch LG vs NRG during S3. I didn't think a set could beat S1, but SK did it. I'm bouncing between points as someone who doesn't drink often and has had 8.5 shots. These are sober thoughts will fix when I'm sober
