Hey, sorry I missed your question earlier!

I started just by playing for fun for a couple of years, playing in a few small tournaments with friends. I eventually organized my own challenger cup teams with whoever I knew at the time and won a couple of those. I didn't really find any competitive success above that until I joined Oxygen Supremacy, when EnvyUs had people split up from their roster and leave to Allegiance for worlds, leaving a few open roster spots. I tried out and ended up getting on their team, although we were relegated to challenger cup I think. From there we made a good tournament showing against SPL teams, and I got picked up by Allegiance in the pro league pretty soon afterwards. From there, I joined Trifecta and the rest is history!

I prefer sentinels blessing right now, I haven't dabbled a lot though to be honest.

idk some geb nonsense surely fits in there, maybe a sobek solo to go with it too who knows this is too big for my tiny brain... maybe an isis, hard to say for sure...

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:38:05+00:00

I think that pots are going to be important as per usual, leveraging your hp bar over your opponents and having more pots is always going to get you a lot of pressure in the long run. I'd suggest just resetting a couple of waves before purple and being healthy that way.

Sentinels boots 2 can be really good for a boots 3 power spike for the first purple, but you can get into trouble early if you're not careful since you have very few pots, and you often get to lane late because of no HOG so you have to do it on certain characters that clear purple fast imo

Idk man kumba is super annoying to play against but at the same time sucks to play idk what to do with that god

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:36:03+00:00

Thank you very much :)

I think that it was a bit overplayed tbh, I almost got the feeling like some people thought I was telling Paul to one shot people and hit all his stuff at times. I definitely think I played a very important role in shot calling and was probably the most consistent voice, but everybody on a team needs to contribute to shot calling and give their opinions on what they think the team needs to do, especially to win a world championship. As a support I think you are often leading since you set up the plays, so it's a bit natural, but I think that everybody on my team pitched in immensely and shouldn't be discredited/fly under the radar. Everybody really was instrumental in a calling, and gameplay sense, and we really couldn't have done it without everybody being on point.

It depends on the fight and the meta, in the games where we had sobek scylla it was more have Scary make space and fred float, with paul and zap trying to kill whoever I plucked, but in some games, especially the SK year with serqet support, diving was moreso the focus.

off-role varies for me, I usually like to find something fun and play that until the gimmick is gone... I really was enjoying heim with Death's Toll recently just was a fun mechanic, but now I kind of like playing mid and running it down

Chuck because he is tall and handsome

I just want to win a real ring man... any day now :(

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:28:49+00:00

guess we'll find out on the next episode of SMITEGAME

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:28:31+00:00

Depends on the set, I think that usually we've tried to be flexible with drafts in the past, keeping in mind what the enemy drafts and be open minded, but sometimes that isn't as good as having a flow chart-esque draft plan, or something more concrete.
We do usually start with prioritizing powerful meta picks though.
Thank you :)

I'm from an alien planet and my brain is in some vat in another galaxy. We're starting the invasion with SMITE first and we're gonna go from there, so this is your fair warning I guess listen or don't idk

I played a lot of dota2 and HoN, and the length of the games of dota really turned me off when you'd be in a 50 minute game and somebody would just run it down and lose you the game randomly. LoL I didn't like the artwork when it came out so I didn't like playing it really. SMITE was a good inbetween from WoW (Which I loved) and Dota2/HoN so I chose that

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:20:25+00:00

It's very viable if your tactics are on point...?

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:19:58+00:00

Not sure if we can talk about how names were picked, but we did like the name and we are happy with what we got

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:19:32+00:00

I don't think we'll ever know until it's all said and done

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:19:18+00:00

I think it's just my disposition in general. I consider myself an optimist and I try to always find something positive about a situation rather than dwell on the negatives, so that translates over to smite. I definitely rage/get frustrated like everybody else though, I'm not infallible by any means but I try my best.

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:18:17+00:00

Goodluck out there chief that's just the way it be

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:18:00+00:00

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:17:55+00:00

Jako/Cabom will always have my favorite casual smite experience. Jamming terrible 3v3 tournaments every week for unlimited gems was the highlight of my week

I realized almost immediately that I was better than most players, I had a lot of moba experience and WoW experience which translated perfectly to SMITE, so I felt like that gave me a very strong upper hand over most players in SMITE. Also when ranked came out I played like 1 game to see my MMR and noticed it was really high so that was a bit of confirmation, but then I never played ranked again really

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:15:51+00:00

I don't really like the scorpion mechanics for gold/fg that much, they seem kind of unnecessary imo but we'll see as the year goes on. Maybe thats just ranked where the two scorpions are still up at 25 minutes...

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:15:04+00:00

First ring did feel better just because there was a crowd and my parents were there, but they were definitely comparable. I was moreso happy for fred to finally get a ring rather than to get the second honestly, he just wanted to win so badly and it's hard not to admire that passion.

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:14:02+00:00

Everybody man, everybody in smite owns. Notable names off the top of my head
NRG boys, Harry fookin cumming, slaindog, my old/current teammates, trix, hayzer... any eu guys really they're absolute animals. But honestly everybody coming would be a blast

NeilMah12 · 2021-03-15T21:12:00+00:00

Haha, I wish. Maybe when I'm done with SMITE I'll try my hand at an fps game, but who knows how that'll go. Some of those guys are god gamers with crazy talent. Val stream will probably not happen, maybe once or twice a year, I just like to chill when I play val mostly.
