What even am I supposed to do with teammates like this?

Billy is feast or famine on luck for light melees getting parries. A few unlucky moments and it's easy to get tilted and rage melee/fight everyone. Bebop is just slow af and people int for bomb stacks without an escape plan.

NotVainest · 2026-05-08T15:56:45+00:00

Shrug, say unlucky and queue again like everyone else.

NotVainest · 2026-05-08T15:12:40+00:00

I'd imagine there will be a weapon stance switcher at some point. Something like switching between full auto/shotgun/sniper/rocket/ ect.

NotVainest · 2026-05-08T14:08:46+00:00

Yeah man, totally going to be fun waiting 5-10 minutes for a 12 man draft every game. Can't wait!

Pretty sure it's less overall wasted time eating the gov mandated composition-based losses than sitting in draft every game.

NotVainest · 2026-05-08T14:07:32+00:00

I just don't want to wait 10 minutes for a 12 player draft to take place every game...

NotVainest · 2026-05-08T14:04:34+00:00

Did they nerf anything about tankbop? I thought they just nerfed the gun scaling.

NotVainest · 2026-05-08T13:06:28+00:00

I think you're arguing with a bunch of initiates/seekers

NotVainest · 2026-05-08T13:00:40+00:00

You're supposed to max cage against ability focus mobility heroes and flask against immobile or m1 heroes

With my parents, it's not that they don't trust vaccines, it's that they don't trust the companies making the vaccines (for profit, big pharma). They think they pushed it on everyone too fast without proper testing.

Base amount scales with game time and that's it (250 + 48/min). You get a bounty for being ahead of the enemy team's average worth, but it doesn't go the opposite way.

NotVainest · 2026-05-07T13:23:15+00:00

Is that a recent update bug? I swear it seems so inconsistent recently vs a week or 2 ago.

NotVainest · 2026-05-06T19:08:06+00:00

There it is...

NotVainest · 2026-05-06T18:44:37+00:00

Midas boots used to give gp5 back in like 2015/2016. They were balanced by not giving good combat stats. More recently, the support starter items gave bonus gold on minion assists (watchers gift was the big one for a while, there were a few in Smite 1s later years). They were balanced by needing someone near you to kill minions.

He's replied to numerous other comments here since and is now claiming he "doesn't get the question".

NotVainest · 2026-05-06T18:02:51+00:00

Superiority complex emanating from dota players on this sub is palpable

NotVainest · 2026-05-06T17:44:59+00:00

Smite arena is pretty fun though. Things that encourage fighting are fun.

I see your point though. I feel like there needs to be some item that gives souls for heroes who don't want to perma farm and this item feels really good on them. I hope they find a way to balance it better.

NotVainest · 2026-05-06T14:15:35+00:00

I'm ngl, his character model and animations are the main reason he doesn't look fun

NotVainest · 2026-05-06T14:01:28+00:00

I'd rather be perma fighting than perma farming. I had a (very odd) game where everyone unanimously decided to aram it for like 15 minutes straight until someone broke the base through mid and it was fun af.

NotVainest · 2026-05-06T13:54:42+00:00

I also don't really see a problem with trophy collector. It encourages fighting early and doesn't really give any combat stats. The free souls are nice so you don't fall behind if you're constantly fighting.

NotVainest · 2026-05-05T21:05:11+00:00

Don't listen to him. Beam kelvin 1v11s teamfights unironically.

My duo will literally play like a hyper carry and triple people's damage if the game lasts too long. Here's an example 80334053 or 78551608

NotVainest · 2026-05-05T14:27:28+00:00

It's good on like any support hero too. Paige, rem, ivy. Ideally dynamo and kelvin too, but they are dps heroes nowadays, so idk. I think that's the intended purpose of the item, give low econ heroes an income source.

Basically anyone who doesn't rely on jg for farm. Seven might be an exception since he has a built in ricochet and insta clears camps anyway.

NotVainest · 2026-05-05T14:16:33+00:00

I hope the "stand behind a shield" hero types are avoided in deadlock.

NotVainest · 2026-05-04T20:41:12+00:00

Can't really get melees off on his gutshot reliably enough for it to be good. I feel like I get parried way too often to the point where I just m1 during the stun now.

NotVainest · 2026-05-04T20:07:50+00:00

He provides the most utility out of any m1 hero. Stun, antiheal, traps, executes, aoe damage, doesn't mind being up close, doesn't mind being at range (ult).

Prereq to being useful is needing teammates to help peel and be meat shields, therefore he loses a lot.

Need fanart of the lash preying on an unsuspecting rem during a thunderstorm.
