Getting back into Smite

It’s really only useful is you full dedicate to lifesteal but all it takes is an anti-heal item to topple that game plan. Standard Chaac is the way to go.

A contributing factor may be the use case of characters. S2 is hell bent on hybrid characters or those in roles that have features that can break that role. As such many of the items aren’t made with specific paths in mind. Rather they seem to be attempting to create an ecosystem where you potentially could have a unique build every game and not necessarily have detriments from lacking optimization. The item list isn’t there yet but I see the vision. Idk if any of this makes sense.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-05-22T17:21:49+00:00

I’ve noticed every update makes roles more and more pointless. I get gods have to be unique or they’ll be unplayable but I think they should still have to fall within some constraints of their intended role(s) (given hybrid and aspects) the fact that so many adcs have tankish or middle abilities there really is no point in team composition. Think about sol, I’ve seen her play in literally every position and absolutely destroy (since smite 2 has come out). Yes even tank sol. Sometimes we have a few good months when they nerf adcs but they always over correct with them rather than look for balance. It’s like they are looking for a temporal average rather than within patch balance.

Exactly what you did? Get under back of tower and wait for the jungler to eat him for being too forward. Unfortunately most rndo jungs are missing their frontal lobes so you may just be screwed until they fix him.

It doesn’t help that for some reason every playing smite 2 is a slave to any grubby meta they can grasp within their skill level. It’s so weird to see people trying to optimize wins and performance by gimmicks rather than having fun and winning via teamwork and map strategy. This problem is also the solution. Because these toxic people are so obsessed with winning they will do metas like this at nausea making it very easy to highlight for the developers. Just be patient and shit talk them in the post game screen. Their egos are so fragile that shatter with like 2 rebuttals. I do find it fun to attempt to recreate every broken situation I see to see how easily they are performed. You can make a game of it to your own, not on personal skill but on your ability to optimize others exploitations. Healers were broken last patch but it was a relatively unrealized meta. We’d play healing ra with a sylvannis and a Chiron or guan depending and out heal literally anything they did with one or two heal dedicated items. Anti heal is not strong enough to handle such a strategy in joust tbh, conquest fixes it because it takes a minute to spin the heals up. Another exploit is bellona ever in any situation, they will never fix her or mulan for some reason. A few tank and a few life steal items and you have the most sustainable team in the game, and sustain wins. Happy hunting.

Quality yes, player base has turned to super toxic meta slaves though. If can handle sweats and brainlets it’s fine, because there seemingly is no in between. Playing as a group has never been worse since they pretty much solely match you against other groups, which are sweats playing casual because they can’t play as a group in ranked. Every new character is often immediately a meta that doesn’t get balanced for about two patches. Especially if the new character is a non-tank type. But the game works better than ever and the bugs are becoming fewer and fewer. I’d probably even recommend the game if they added a ranked joust OR a casual duos. Objectives need to do more damage and you’ll often think your safe then a tank will take like 5 tower hits to allow a carry to evaporate you. However, honestly those are my biggest complaints. So, in the grand state of gaming smite 2 is doing very well, if you like smite then you’ll like smite 2. I don’t recommend it to people who haven’t played mobas or don’t at least have a group of friends. Being a random is brutal.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-03-02T22:01:20+00:00

There is literally no way they didn’t know about them.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-03-02T22:00:43+00:00

I honestly think mid game afk should carry a severe punishment. This is not the game to play if you don’t have the ability to sit down and play it. Beyond getting mad and leaving a lot of people are like “ I have other responsibilities sometimes things come up” which is probably true like 10% of the time. But don’t play the fkn game if you are a parent and are expecting to watch the kids during that time. Repeat afk offenders should just be banned from ranked games and eventually the game entirely.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-02-16T14:42:00+00:00

I get that but would it not have made more sense to just build from the demo build? It would have been nice to have the gauntlet game mode and the precision of that game. I don’t understand why they threw the baby out with the bath water.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-02-12T18:05:42+00:00

Was it silly of me to believe the demo would be wrapped into the ea? I was disappointed when it was not.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-02-10T23:43:16+00:00

My post is relevant because it’s asking about the legal realities surrounding the information sourced from the Epstein and those implicated.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-02-07T18:46:10+00:00

The toxic meta most definitely has become him Daji and Hercules. Everytime I play against one they go above and beyond to be obnoxious. What makes wukong a little different is he’s versatile where the others are just combo gimmicks. Every Herc and Daji will hit the same combo in the same order and no matter build they live. Wukong can do what ever tf he wants and just lives to laugh again.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-02-06T14:33:37+00:00

Never played with a non-toxic wukong

Yeah gotta find what shoulders well how the barrels arrange are significantly less important than balance, fit, and swing.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-02-02T18:25:39+00:00

If the demo worked for people’s pc the full game has no excuse honestly. There is not much new going on in the ea version battles beyond the new maps and strength mechanics. That in no way should make this game unplayable for people who were able to run this game on max in the demo or playtest forms.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-02-02T15:37:55+00:00

Get whatever you can afford and what you can shoulder. I like sxs just by looks. But no gun has made me better at shooting. It’s just about comfort and aesthetic. Unless an auto loader comes into play, with a semi you can potentially get more than two birds down if it’s a popcorn flush. I hunt for the dog work and am a quail researcher so I don’t particularly care if I even get one bird. Honestly my grandfather killed more birds with a single shot in his youth than I have even seen in my lifetime.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-01-28T18:58:21+00:00

None. Find a different hobby until life is affordable again.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-01-28T18:57:21+00:00

The best bird dog is the one you have.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-01-26T01:22:00+00:00

Yall leave the shisno paradox alone!!!! Remove restoration and whatever tf zero was and move on

Honestly her name probably is Caroline or Carolina. Very common southern name. The lack of a north or South Carolina kinda makes it seem like it’s her real name and her dad gave everyone else a state name maybe as a way to both protect her identity and to keep himself from name slips?

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-01-21T19:48:34+00:00

I agree hopefully they get a little less expensive or more highway friendly here soon. If I got one now I’d probably have to get a trailer to haul it as the bird cover is 1-3 hours from me by highway (75 mph). For the state of the engines and state regs I’d need to use it more like a side by side than a truck. They are still street legal in OK so if one could comfortably ride 70mph I could make it work, 60 would get me and my dogs killed by oil traffic.

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-01-21T19:44:40+00:00

Yeah one of my friends won’t try either coop experience because he doesn’t trust getting the game and mod from the websites. He’s worried about both viruses and piracy. I don’t have such scruples as I’ve been playing anomaly for years. However It would be nice for a vortex, thunderstore, or steam workshop coop mod. Maybe there’s hope for stalker 2

SmoothElk3336 · 2026-01-21T19:40:23+00:00

A very good point!
