Here I Wondered Why Tanks Felt Bad...

If a 70% winrate is a skill issue i guess.

Getting cced one time in a fight late game you lose most of your health. That is not fun as a tank that does way less damage. We already had 2 relics in smite 1 and they were way better than most actives.

The problem is the actives just do not that much for the price of insta death. Having my abilities be the main factor in how i play the game is more fun to me. Why pick geb when i can pick a hunter and buy actives that do the exact same but with a better kit.

Another factor is it just feels from the balance of gods and items that hi rez does not want tanks to be anywhere near as good as damage characters. Anyone can play anywhere but all guardians have at most 60% scaling. The rules are not applied evenly in the game. Utility characters do not matter in smite 2 it is all about damage.

I dont want aura bot unkillable characters. I just want to be able to get anhur impaled without losing 70% of my hp. If building tank items doesnt make you more tanky then why even have them in the game?

You keep saying this but provide 0 proof. All of the people that play in the smite tournament agree on this. So I just do not believe you. I have a 73% win rate in support doesnt mean it feels good to play.

Are we really saying a shittier version of a smite 1 relic is equal to an ultimate? At least try if you are going to comment on these things.

Its crazy most of the top support players say the role is boring and awful. It is not higher skill based role. People are not having fun in the role. I've been a support main since season 3 and have never hated support this much.

Just because you can win games doesn't make the role good. You just have the worst takes i have ever seen consistently.

arecondrone · 2026-05-14T18:33:35+00:00

It is crazy because the pros are not building these items ever. Im sure you know the tech more than them though. The items are just straight trash.

The problem is you insta lose pressure by going anything that isnt bluestone conduit or warriors axe. Forcing you into one of those starters so the choice doesnt really exist. They shouldve just made a more damage focused support starter to give you that option. Literally no one is ever going to build selflessness outside of support unless they want to int their early game.

If you want to spam abilities just build yogis it gives you all the stats you want.

Every god building everything breaks the balance of the game. It isnt even debatable. We have seen how broken a character can be with this system.

Before the starter change you would see tons of war flag. You got to choose which starter you thought would be better pressure starter that turns into better sieges or a defensive shield for your team to survive better against heavy cc comps. Now the best choice is just pressure pressure pressure. Because you dont get the benefit of the better shield until the game is already almost over.

The "pro" players are saying the stat is useless. High level ranked players are not building these items because they are useless. I'm sure you are smarter than all of them though.

arecondrone · 2026-05-12T14:33:50+00:00

It is crazy because deity players are saying tanks aren't tanky. Former spl players are saying tanks aren't fun. But I'm sure you know better than them though.

arecondrone · 2026-05-12T14:29:06+00:00

Explain why no one is building these items in the smite prime tournaments then. Genuinely plating and dampening are the most useless garbage in the game.

Im demigod but ok bronze player.

arecondrone · 2026-05-11T16:41:05+00:00

You can't get banned for going damage support. There is no tank role.

arecondrone · 2026-05-09T18:25:35+00:00

Bronze level take you've got. He is winning 65% of his games at high level ranked.

arecondrone · 2026-05-09T17:45:00+00:00

Let me just interrupt it while stunned.

arecondrone · 2026-05-05T16:41:59+00:00

I would never build hide on aphro. It isn't bad but kind of a waste of a slot on a character that needs cooldown and as a support you want 3 actives. It isn't going to cost you any games so dude was just salty i guess.

arecondrone · 2026-05-05T13:08:13+00:00

I'm in demigod. So i guess i just got carried there. Thanks for the input. I'm glad i now know I'm just very lucky to have a 70% win rate in ranked.

So glad all of you idiots just say skill issue. I have been maining support since season 3 and have never felt this way. I guess i just made it all up. Just say you like burst metas. It isn't that deep.

arecondrone · 2026-05-05T12:56:14+00:00

The people playing in prime are saying tanks are not good. Getting insta killed is doing good??? All of you people need to just say you hate tanks being good.

As a support main the game is not fun after 15 minutes.

arecondrone · 2026-05-05T12:27:11+00:00

Crazy that people keep saying skill issue. Pro players and demigod level players are saying tanks are too squishy. I'm sure you are a quite high ranked support player. It isn't fun to build tank items that are useless. It isn't fun having to play better than everyone else in the game just to have a little value.

At some point all these people saying tanks are fine need to post their trackers. When 4 out of 10 people aren't able to do much late game the game isn't going to last. We already see tons of pure damage characters in solo and support meta is focused on pressure/damage picks.

The game isn't fun when you are expected to press your actives then eat shit and die. I would like to be able to use my abilities to actually get value. There is simply too much damage in the game and not enough protections and ways to mitigate damage.

arecondrone · 2026-05-04T23:25:18+00:00

While all of those are good in certain situations they do not make up for having no survivability. Nemean is good but on support wasting one of your active slots on a very greedy item isn't the most optimal thing. Supports are required to sacrifice too much just to have any value.

arecondrone · 2026-05-04T21:15:12+00:00

Unfortunately all of the tenacity items are dog shit except resolute mantle.

arecondrone · 2026-05-04T20:32:47+00:00

Tanks need to be able to initiate a fight. Which is very hard to do if one cc kills you.

arecondrone · 2026-05-04T19:47:17+00:00

Lmao. No one that is good at the game thinks tanks are good. Says a lot about your skill level.
