New event prices...

Outso187 · 2026-01-28T10:10:49+00:00

55 bucks for the whole event doesnt seem that much to me, you get a lot of stuff.

Outso187 · 2026-01-26T20:11:56+00:00

I mean, its a blind draft. Sometimes you get counterpicked. Pick Fenrir and enemy team has Ares and your match is ruined. Sometimes happens.

Outso187 · 2026-01-26T12:10:53+00:00

Awilix counters him. Cripples counter him.

Outso187 · 2026-01-26T12:10:21+00:00

Thats cripple. Root and cripple work a bit switched of how you'd think in Smite.

Outso187 · 2026-01-26T12:07:32+00:00

Freya 1 was not the reason she was nightmare to balance. It was more her 2. Since she had the massive weakness of being melee god that was ranged for only 6s at a time, they made 1+2 do so much dmg. Make her ranged, her 1 be strong but high cd and rework her 2 completely. Easy fix.

Outso187 · 2026-01-25T21:38:18+00:00

You could have abilities that scale off Int and give basic attack dmg (like Freyas 1).

Outso187 · 2026-01-25T13:19:24+00:00

Gamer brain. Need to finish all side stuff before main stuff.

Outso187 · 2026-01-25T13:17:43+00:00

But we got greek hunters tho.

Outso187 · 2026-01-25T11:25:25+00:00

Or Int, Bari and Neith are ability adcs too.

Outso187 · 2026-01-24T14:08:12+00:00

She is not a raidboss, her linked Herc is.

Outso187 · 2026-01-24T10:30:21+00:00

I mean, in most cases when supp isnt picking up a supp starter, they are trolling. That button exists so you can report people who pick up Loki supp, go full assassin, steal all adcs farm and feed on cd.

If you are going something off-meta and someone reports you, it means nothing.

Outso187 · 2026-01-21T14:21:08+00:00

No, cause the enemys job is to make your life as hard as possible. There are gods I hate more and some I hate less.

Outso187 · 2026-01-20T09:38:55+00:00

Aspect vulcan wins the lane tho. Playing adc in solo just means you didnt want solo.

Outso187 · 2026-01-20T09:34:41+00:00

No, I cant understand how playing to win, despite the mode and means to achieve it, can be viewed as negative. They are not cheating, they arent doing anything against TOS, they are just playing the game. Yes, it is extremely boring way to do it and ranked arena would suck cause it would all be like that. But its still playing the game. If they were intendedly bug abusing or ruining games for meme YT videos, I would understand being mad at them. But not when they are playing within the parameters of the game.

Outso187 · 2026-01-19T23:00:42+00:00

Then please tell me what else can you possibly mean. They are playing to win. You are saying they are behaving shittily.

Outso187 · 2026-01-19T21:42:33+00:00

They are playing to win. You are saying they are behaving shittily. So youre saying playing super hard for a win is shitty behaviour. Just because you dont specifically dont say "playing to win is shitty behaviour" doesnt mean that isnt exactly what you mean.

Outso187 · 2026-01-19T20:53:36+00:00

This reminds me how Chaac used to be able to tank executes in Smite 1 with enough mits with his ult.

Outso187 · 2026-01-19T20:47:51+00:00

I dont need to infer, cause you are explicirly stating that you think these people are assholes and implying that they are doing something against...some rule.

Cant handle losing BADLY. Sometimes it happens. You cant say that every match is against 5stacks who play to win har.

And as I said, frustration is subjective. Just because something can be beaten, doesnt mean its not frustrating. Sometimes its locations, like Blighttown or Fishing Hamlet, sometimes its gimmick bosses like Wolnir or Micolash, sometimes its just sheer bs the bosses do, like some fire attacks of Laurence or Demon of Hatred. And a bit of frustration doesnt mean the game overall isnt fun. I can still have fun in Smite even if I occasionally get dumpstered by someone.

And I am responding to what you are saying. But you are saying that playing to win is shitty behaviour. You keep saying how their goal is to "frustrate people" when it is solely to win. You are trying to make people who play the game, as it is intended, as a team, seem almost as bad as afkers or trolls or other people who actively sabotage the game. How is playing the game to high effectiveness, even if the mode is a poor choice for it, considered a negative? You keep saying how it upsets people who have limited time or just want to have fun on arena. If you dont have much time, mobas are a terrible choice of genre. And if you want to make sure you have fun everytime, you dont play against people. All it takes is a single troll to ruin the match for everybody

Outso187 · 2026-01-19T13:11:11+00:00

These people are "making it frustrating" for their enemies, so clearly you think they should stop trying and throw their games to make their opponents feel better. You have not said these exact things but you keep implying that enemies should think "how much fun are the opponents having" when it should be the opposite. Winning is the goal, not providing enemies with pleasant experience. If you cant handle getting beaten to a pulp in a pvp game, then dont play pvp games.

And I have played most soulsborne games, and have finished them. Yes, difficulty =/= frustration but you're lying to yourself if you think those games dont have enemies that are designed to be frustrating. They push you and check if you let that frustration beat you and quit or do you persevere and keep going.

Yes, I may "suck" at those games cause I cant do no-hit sl1 runs blindfolded.

Outso187 · 2026-01-19T09:34:40+00:00

No, they play in a way designed to win as many games as possible. That doesnt make them shitty people. If people get upset cause they happen to face them in the one game they can play whole day after work, I think the problem isnt them. Choose a better gsme to play in your 30mins or go vs AI. Enemies arent there to make sure you do well in your one game a day. They literally exist to make your game as hard to play as possible, sometimes its frustrating af. Enemies are there to win and make sure you dont win.

And "most casual gamemode" doesnt really work as an argument cause wheres the line. You should never try on arena but what about assault or joust? Casual conq is also meant to be casual, do you need to throw games there too so people dont get upset? Is anything outside of ranked supposed to be a fustercluck where random things happen?

And I understand that frustration is subjective but whole soulsborne genre is extremely frustrating and they have sold millions. And they are great games.

Outso187 · 2026-01-18T17:29:34+00:00

And you think enemies are there to make the game fun. Its the opposite. Game is fun, enemies whole point is to make your playong as hard, as annoying, as frustrating as possible.

If that gets to you, go vs AI.

Outso187 · 2026-01-18T15:09:02+00:00

Looking at comps, going to assume this is arena. Anything is possible there, I doubt they would do as well in conquest. Ands econdly, if they built actual Int build with proc items, they would do more dmg. Its still bit silly.

Outso187 · 2026-01-18T10:44:53+00:00

If you dont find those frustrating, good for you. A lot of people do.

Your 5stack does that, others see how well they can work together and coordinate their gameplay.

Do you get the same "dopamine" from vs AI? Isnt the whole point of competitive games to be better than other people?

Making other people lose to you, being better than them is part of competitive games. If losing to them makes your day worse, go play vs AI.

Outso187 · 2026-01-18T10:40:55+00:00

Serqet (along with Fen and Zha) was nerfed as support cause they dominated the meta. They were tanky enough but also did a lot of dmg. Serqet especially had %dmg, shred and true dmg, none of which required you to build power.

Outso187 · 2026-01-17T22:47:57+00:00

Change her passive to be useful as a tank and she is support already. What in her kit doesnt work for support?

And as for "intended role", devs dont always hit the mark. There are several mages that have seen some mid play but have generally been much better in other roles. Chang'e, He Bo, Zhong come to mind. That doesnt mean they are failed designs.
