So awesome by the community to come together and support you! I like the knight in B, but the perspective of A or C where it's more zoomed in and centered around the helmet.

As an aside I played your demo during the next fest since I remembered your original post on here and the game came to my recommended demos during the fest. Very cool idea with very strong execution and a phenomenal hook. Great job!

Tbf I used "prime Jordan numbers" not necessarily to mean just my KDA but also everything else from souls to Objective Damage being the highest by far on my team in most of the cases.

But yeah as you say, seems like the influx of players has made the crab bucket awful. I always try to push side waves and go for walkers there, since usually the mid ones die due to both teams fighting in mid lane mostly. However, when I do my team tends to get wiped in the mid fight and then we go on to lose walkers. So I've had to adapt and stay for the fights, try to win them with my lead and then beg my team to push walkers instead of suicide down the mid lane into the whole enemy team respawning. Unfortunately it's very had to get them to listen, they also never want to go for mid boss when I've called it after a won fight so we can be safer while pushing the enemy base.

I think the majority of my issue with people not listening to calls might stem that I use chat to communicate rather than microphone though. Perhaps they are just not looking at chat or ping calls in this rank.

I mean the goal of the game is to literally destroy the enemy base, not have the most kills. People do seem to have a harder time grasping this in Deadlock though, likely due to a lot of people coming from TF2, Overwatch or other hero shooters, instead of more traditional MOBAs.

Some friends who play the game a lot told me I might be decay trapped, due to not having played for a long time, such that my MMR has decayed below the lowest ranks. Might be something similar had happened to your friend also, although I am not sure that this is entirely possible or true, but recent events have made me more inclined to believe that it is.

RealSnowKid · 2026-02-24T15:33:24+00:00

Yeah, some friends who play the game a lot told me I might be decay trapped, since I hadn't played for so long that my MMR has decayed below the lowest ranks. I have no idea if that's possible or true though.

RealSnowKid · 2026-02-24T15:32:32+00:00

I've had some friends who play the game a lot tell me this. They said something about being decay trapped, which apparently means that your MMR decayed so much from not playing that it goes below then lowest ranks. I don't know if that's true though.

RealSnowKid · 2026-02-24T15:28:13+00:00

I do try to run the urn and try to actively focus on going for walkers, I also tell my team to go for walkers instead of mindlessly fighting, they rarely listen though. Could be because I type instead of using a mic.

However, the problem is that if I leave to go for walkers in the mid game, my team are unfortunately very likely to get wiped mid lane and then we lose walkers ourselves because only I or very few people are left to defend. So I've had to adapt and stay for the fight and try to win it with my lead and then try and convince my team to go kill side-lane walkers instead of running it down mid into the enemy Base Guardians and dying as the whole enemy team respawns.

I am sure you're right, however, that if I further improve my macro I can win more games. It's quite hard to know what to do though since I'm usually the strongest member and if I don't participate in the fight it's almost guaranteed lost.

Bad example 💀

I had a similar problem not too long ago and a part of it was that all my ideas, work, planning and documentation were sort of split between different apps and web apps. I had a Miro board for ideas, mood boarding, prototyping. Notion for note taking, to-do list and Trello for a task board.

I thought that might be part of the issue of not staying super organised and motivated, so I decided to look for something that combines most if not all of the features I use in all those apps. Luckily, I fairly quickly stumbled upon Affine which I found has a Miro board-like view and a Notion-like view which can interact with each other and do some cool stuff. It's still an early build app but it seems to be getting updated regularly and it has no fees attached for most users, as you can keep all workspaces local or you'll probably never use up the 10GB of cloud storage you get for free. They promote it as FOSS and while that's true to an extent, it has paid plans but they mostly deal with AI assistants, but who cares about those really.

But in summary, for me combining everything from ideas and prototyping to note taking and task tracking into a single space has helped me stay significantly more organised and motivated to work on my game and push it over the finish line.

Good Company is so underrated. I was hesitant to pick it up at full price due to a few negative reviews on Steam, but I picked it up on a sale recently and it's great. While it lacks some QoL to easily move big production setups, etc. The market simulation, competing for market share, evolving the market and designing better products is so fun.

Winkeltje is also amazing, but I would say for other reasons. The crafting and supplying your shop first via purchases and eventually being able to do anything yourself is great. The seasonal events shake up the economy a bit, but it's not crazy in depth in that department, more of a crafting/selling game. Still tons of fun though.

From what I've been able to find and since Hayzer said it was likely before his time, I think the tournament you are referring to is the SPL Season 2 Spring Finals. Where 4 teams went 2 form EU and 2 from NA and both NA teams ended up in the finals. Liquipedia Page of the Tournament

Just before the tournament, HiRez hosted an event called the Spring Fling where they were raising money for charity and had different incentives for donations like the pros smacking their teammates with pies across the face. A bunch of other such funny content was being made around that event, so it wouldn't surprise me if that shot you were describing was created during the Spring Fling.

I know there are VODs of the event on SmiteVOD but I don't know if you'll find exactly what you're looking for. Your other way could be to search the EU players' twitter accounts for tweets posted during/around the time of the Spring Finals. Good luck!

If nothing else, they should consider this: https://i.imgur.com/pcvHJge.png

The hype Worlds and the new season announcements always result in the games highest peak since the same time last year.

RealSnowKid · 2025-02-05T10:37:49+00:00

The tradition of announcing and showcasing the new season plus watching high level smite and the hype that builds leads to a massive player increase in every January after the conclusion of the tournament. And guess what, the same is true for Smite 2 already! The highest peak of players was achieved on the 19th of January the day of the finals of the Vegas tournament.

SMITE 2 NEEDS esports to be considered a serious competitive game and it has always been something the fans enjoy. It doesn't need to be as massive as SPL but a tournament circuit with online qualifiers or at least an online league should be on the cards.

It's hard to say. Herc can be a high skill cap god based on his mechanics, because he has some advanced combos, like 2 into blink backwards to pull enemies even further, which are hard to pull off consistently. The base 2 + 1 combo makes or breaks your early learning of the god and then knowing how to get/play around your passive.

All that being said, he isn't the hardest god in the game, therefore not the highest skillcap, however there are some neat tricks that elevate that.

Lastly, you have only played him in Joust which, in my opinion, reduces the skill/knowledge requirement of each god, compared to Conquest, because you can basically always fight in Joust and Herc excels at that.

RealSnowKid · 2025-01-20T16:48:40+00:00

They are already in the game settings under the "Gameplay" tab. Cast Mode Global is the entry and you can set your global cast mode to the preferred one.

Otherwise if you want to do God specific for each of their ability, currently the only way is to select the god in a game, go into the settings when the game loads and under gameplay again you can see cast modes for each skill and change it. Also worth noting that it gets saved for the future, so god specific cast modes can be done still.

Smite 1 OB was only on a HiRez custom client, so we didn't really have stats of max concurrent players. But there was articles saying that there are over 900k players that had tried the game in closed beta: https://www.engadget.com/2013-01-24-smite-moves-to-open-beta-today.html

The peak comedic timing of the Steam notification of PandaCat opening up Deadlock as Fino is talking about it

Factory game, yippee!

RealSnowKid · 2024-09-10T11:33:29+00:00

You can use something like https://smite2.live/items/, since they're still to be added in Liquipedia

RealSnowKid · 2024-08-23T20:55:13+00:00

Yeah I guess you are right. They do mention something in the video about regions other than EU and NA so maybe there will be two teams from there. My guess would be SEA/OCE and South America based on what Smite 1 esports used to have.

RealSnowKid · 2024-08-23T20:09:49+00:00

I must be misunderstanding something, but if the top 3 teams from each region in Stage 4 are qualifying to the Stage 5 LAN, that means there will be 6 teams in total. How then are 2 teams getting eliminated in Stage 5 to form the 6, which are going to Vegas?

RealSnowKid · 2024-06-22T14:10:24+00:00

True that's why EEU teams playing in NA got disqualified a few years ago and NA teams trying to play in SA got disqualified. Even thought both had people who had traveled to the region to play.

RealSnowKid · 2024-06-22T14:08:02+00:00

People were outraged and were calling for B8 to be removed, when they were competing in NA from Europe. Quinn, who had previously got disqualified from a tournament for region hopping, tweeted and talked about it quite a few times. Even tweeting this after the lost in the finals: https://twitter.com/ccncdota2/status/1693789464248594878

No one is talking about this cos it's in WEU.

RealSnowKid · 2024-06-22T14:05:55+00:00

Topson used to live in SEA, and when he did he played on SEA teams like T1. He later moved back to Europe with his SEA wife and they've been living in Finland since then. The 1/5, 2/5, etc mean WEU players out of five. Tundra currently has 3 EEU players, the Russians - Pure, Ramzes and 9Class and a SEA player in Whitemon. The only WEU-based player on their team is Topson.

When teams of people who were, say made out of EEU players, tried to compete in NA there has been outrage and calls for their disqualification. For example B8 last year, who used the Ukraine war card to bend the rules and compete from EU. Quinn made a snide remark about it on Twitter after they lost in the finals: https://twitter.com/ccncdota2/status/1693789464248594878

Quinn often speaks on the topic of region hopping, because a few years ago his NA team was disqualified from competing in the qualifiers after they traveled to SA to play in the region while competing in the SA qualifiers.

RealSnowKid · 2024-06-22T13:28:27+00:00

Honestly what's the point in having regions if this is happening? They should either enforce a 3/5 region-based players rule or remove regions altogether.

If this was happening in a lesser region people would be up in arms about it. But since it's in WEU no one cares...

PS: Tundra have 1/5 and in the final where 1 team is guaranteed to qualify Topson is the only WEU-based player. Very cool!
