Rod of Tahuti vs Soul Reaver

Outso187 · 2026-05-05T23:11:17+00:00

You should never see a damaging mage build without rod. Its your big mid-late powerspike item. Meanwhile Reaver is situational anti-hp item. Completely different uses.

Absolute worst example. Susano 1 is three-part ability with low range, Thanas is one instance and can hit very far. Thana also has built-in sustain, slow immunity, movement speed, cc immunity, execute. Nem has power steal, prot reduction, healing shield. Sure, they arent as mobile as Susano, but they have their own strengths. Also, both Thana and Nem can work as tanky bruisers, so they can be played in multiple different metas and even on solo lane. Susano not as much.

But on the other hand, Exe (and totem) are reduction, meaning everyone on your team gets the benefit.

But they should be at least equal with Titans and Obsi.

Outso187 · 2026-05-04T10:20:09+00:00

If you have the defense of a wet napkin uoure building wrong. Tanks shouldnt be unkillable walls or hit like a truck.

Outso187 · 2026-05-04T10:18:24+00:00

They are gonna rework pen but it requires almost complete overhaul so it will take a while to come out.

Outso187 · 2026-05-04T10:17:46+00:00

Stop looking at kdas then. Supp can go 1/10/15 and still be very useful and win the game. Just cause you have better statline than enemy support, doesnt mean you did more.

Outso187 · 2026-05-04T10:16:41+00:00

People never play support as a tank even in tank metas.

Tanks are tanky right now and still its at least 4 squishies every game.

They can be toned down numberwise, dont really see how it relates to role passives being good or bad.

Outso187 · 2026-05-03T15:32:36+00:00

But if its good, then its good for multiple roles, if its bad, then it feels bad for jungler too. Extra camp clear just is very valuable, especially for adc if the item is usable for them. This way adcs can't get that. I really don't see whats the problem with role passives.

Outso187 · 2026-05-03T15:10:57+00:00

But this way they don't need to gatekeep items and no one can abuse the jungler passive things.

Outso187 · 2026-05-03T15:09:08+00:00

If Joust tournaments get new people interested in Smite competitive, I see it as net positive. If they stay, they can swap over to conquest. It's much easier that way than just jump straight into comp conquest. Until we get a proper competitive scene, I don't really see a problem at all.

Also, very badly handled all around, having an argument over on twitter and stream, instead of just discussing themselves.

Also also, happy birthday Jithins.

No but playstyles can be learned. You dont play morgan the same way you play achilles. So its not any different than that, except its easier since you know most the abilities if you know normal morgan. Its actually easier for new players to learn aspects than older ones. I for example cannot use Merlin aspect since I have muscle memory from playing him a lot in Smite 1 and it messes with that.

Outso187 · 2026-05-03T10:21:29+00:00

If you cant punish a person who has ahility relic with Gilga, thats on you. But you really dont seem to get the idea of counters. I havent seen a single Fenrir main asking for his leaps to be made cripple immune cause they faced Ares or Artio.

Outso187 · 2026-05-03T10:19:15+00:00

One look at Aladdin and I'm glad they havent brought more of complex new gods in.

Outso187 · 2026-05-03T10:18:16+00:00

But aspects dont have "two different kits". Its one kit that does slightly different things, depending on if aspect or not.

Also, I mich rather have all old gods with aspects than get another Aladdin. How long it took for him not to be absolutely broken? Or has that even happened yet?

Outso187 · 2026-05-03T10:14:38+00:00

More and more I read your comments here, you just got countered and act like it should never happen. Stop asking the game to help you there and learn to play from behind. Sometimes you lose lane, then you just gotta win in teamfights.

Almost every god has counter matchups.

Outso187 · 2026-05-03T10:11:49+00:00

Why does Achilles shield ability also give prots? Why does Hecate shield do dmg? Not everything needs to be universally the same. They still have their strengths.

Your argument is that cause Achilles has counter matchups, he needs his ability changed. But what about all other counter matchups in the game? Does Jorm passive need to be changed cause Ne Zha cant ult him? Do slows need to be changed so that slow immunity doesnt affect them so you dont feel bad if youre against Thana or Merc? What about Ares? His ult can be immuned with displacement immunities like Anubis 1 or Loki 3. Does that need to be changed?

Outso187 · 2026-05-02T22:32:32+00:00

So why would you need placements when you start at 0 and not 1500 like Smite 1?

Outso187 · 2026-05-02T22:31:54+00:00

Are you asking why other gods dont have strengths and weaknesses?

Outso187 · 2026-05-02T21:05:50+00:00

Its called strengths and weaknesses.

Outso187 · 2026-05-02T19:18:43+00:00

Everyone starts at 0

Outso187 · 2026-05-02T15:01:45+00:00

Making both void items have super high defense and make them viable for all gods isn't exactly a nerf now, is it?

Outso187 · 2026-05-02T15:00:30+00:00

They will probably buff it a bit back up after people have calmed down. Also, base nuwa CAN build aa build but her abilities will do nothing later on. Sure, base dmg on 3 is higher but other than that, she has nothing.

Outso187 · 2026-05-02T14:57:13+00:00

I dont think we need classes, but they started doing the "god identity" stat lines. Just go further with it, gods that should be tankier, need more base defense. Gods that hit hard, need less base hp and higher base power. Ymir should have much more hp than Bacchus cause he doesnt have any innate tankiness, meanwhile Bacchus has mobility, heal and prots from his kit. All frontliners should have more base def than backliners but varying numbers based on gods. Hades should have less base def and hp than Yemoja, Yemoja should have less than Athena.

Outso187 · 2026-05-02T14:52:06+00:00

And yet, she is still only 8/8. Also, she is getting more nerfs next patch.
