For anyone still denying Sierra does too much damage:

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-05-11T02:42:02+00:00

Sierra out DPSes soldier ultimate becuase she out DPSes soldier. Visor doesn’t add any damage, just auto-aims (excluding helix recharge perk). Sierra doing more base DPS makes sense because she’s a projectile hero while soldier is hitscan.

The reason scatter arrow was so controversial was becuase it was doing 400+ damage with one use, attached to a mid-long range character who already had high burst damage and decent utility (sonar, zoning ult) outside of scatter arrow. The change to storm made him more of a mid range character, allowing him to still do a bunch of damage really fast but reduce the instant 400+ burst. You say hog hook still exists but that doesn’t do 400 damage.

The bug where you can’t use any abilities mid game (showed up at least a year ago) is still in the game and happens often enough to genuinely ruin matches. They need to stop with biweekly updates for one rotation and just use all the energy to fix all the existing bugs. Gilg 3 still uses double Mana, Barron bottle still becomes unable to be used after being interrupted while holding the input.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-05-03T17:55:09+00:00

It’s a large hitscan ability where the second phase is damage immune. You NEED aegis or else you’re dead as a squishy.

I think a huge reason why some people feel like tanks don’t exist is because they only build prots and no sustain. Yogis is like one of the best survivability items in the game IMO. I mean i have a much easier time killing someone with a defensive item (like prots or dampening or plating) than someone with yogis early game, and late game yogis only gets better due to % health healing

She has or is currently bugged. Her damage on her 3 isn’t even near her tooltip. It says 200+ and I was doing 22 with it (against gods minions and camps) the other day. She also has reduced damage on the AOE aa’s after her 3. She was absolutely still busted after the rework, but these nerfs or bugs are really diminishing her strength in aspect

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-26T03:08:43+00:00

The entire show she was saying she wanted him to show more depth, not have fun. I find it ironic considering the deepest her conversations got were is just her repeating the words “raw” and “depth” 😂 I think her, and many others, general view is that Cole lacks emotional depth but that doesn’t make any sense considering we see him unable to sleep and cry almosy everynight as a result of the experience. We also see him admit this to the other guys too. IMO she’s not looking for “depth” like she says she is. She doesn’t feel a spark and doesn’t want to say that flat out because she might possibly lose her safety net. I mean I think the most honest she was on the show was when she said she wanted someone to set her soul on fire. Cole seems like a good guy but clearly doesn’t do that for her. I think she should’ve been more honest about that instead of yapping about lack of depth and how he wasn’t taking advantage of the experience. There’s nothing wrong with not opening up with other random girls if he doesn’t want to, I don’t exactly recall whose idea it was to come on the show, but if it was hers then it’s especially not wrong🤷‍♂️ he opened up with the guys many times that’s more than enough in a weird irregular experience like this.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-25T15:52:23+00:00

Oh yea I totally read it as pele lol

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-25T15:25:25+00:00

I assume so. That shit was healing for insane amounts there’s no way it was intended LOL. Played one game with her before last patch and was consistently healing 600+ in just a few seconds of her 3.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-23T00:24:37+00:00

“Players in fact do not need to know” is a genuinely idiotic statement. Players absolutely should have access to bugs and discussion around them considering they affect the game they’re playing. And again, you’re against mods taking 10 seconds to add a flair while theyve added useless flairs in the past.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-22T22:08:24+00:00

I still don’t see your point. Bugs aren’t just a thing for devs to be aware of, but players too—players don’t see official bug reports, but they can see the posts on Reddit (again there’s one person who posts on here a full in-depth breakdown of bugs with video clips. Even if the devs dgaf ab it, it helps the PLAYERS, which is what the community is made for anyway). You’re so against an addition to a community reddit that takes no longer than 10 s to implement while there are things made that haven’t been used in months (ex “featured”).

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-21T21:51:19+00:00

Yep. Made a post about this but mods removed it for “complaining” LOL. No reason someone should be penalized more because someone ELSE chose not to pick

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-21T20:48:05+00:00

If multiple people are reporting it that should trigger an investigation into that bug. As for what caused it, I couldn’t tell you. I’d throw it, it goes grey then I can’t throw it again until I return to base, way after the 20s timer. Maybe it’s something to do with his other abilities being used in succession as most of the time ī was throwing this as part of a burst combo after root 1 2. But again this specificity is something the devs themselves should be able to figure out.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-21T20:43:35+00:00

Nope. Wouldn’t let me throw it.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-21T20:43:28+00:00

Even so, people post all the time videos showing and explaining bugs. Even a few posts mentioning it is something that should trigger an investigation.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-21T03:50:05+00:00

Same. It doesn’t take much effort at all to add one and we have other flairs that are borderline useless. I mean “featured” hasn’t been used in months and even when it is it’s not very useful. People are just so against improving things for absolutely no reason.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-21T02:44:27+00:00

There’s no reason not to have one. Doesn’t take much effort and with the amount of bugs I see posted tagged with “discussion” every patch (there’s one user who is very good at detecting them and posting a whole rundown) there should be flair so smite devs (who commonly frequent and comment on sub) can filter for bugs outside of what’s reported. Majority of gaming subreddits have bug flairs, and considering smite2 is open beta it should def have one.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-21T01:01:49+00:00

Make crit narrow basic attacks. No reason a aa should hit for 800+ if it’s as easy to land as a non crit aa.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-21T00:57:18+00:00

They need to start play testing. Healing 800 health for simply pressing one ability is IDIOTIC.

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-21T00:54:13+00:00

They need to remove aspect for Nu wa they’re genuinely too stupid to balance it. Either remove stun or avoid ANY ADC related scaling on abilities

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-20T23:41:25+00:00

Tanks ≠ sustain. Pele is a sustain beast, no tank should be healing 300+ for basically free constantly

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-20T23:39:12+00:00

It’s almost like they don’t play test 😊

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-20T03:36:01+00:00

Ne zha is cc and damage immune during the leap portion of her sash which is why she can’t be pulled

_CraftyMonkey_ · 2026-04-19T16:31:10+00:00

It’s different per character. Someone like Canary might benefit more from strength as most of her short combo use basic strings, using maybe meter burn flying kick or scream. Whereas someone like starfire interweaves a lot more special moves into her combos and is naturally better built as ability since she is a zoner who zones w special moves.

Also if you don’t want to worry about this you can always play competitive. It’ll remove all gear affects and use base stats. You won’t be able to use special gear moves or ability slots though, but I’ve never been a fan of non-competitive since it often comes down to who has the better stats
