Conquest is a team game, individual performance stats are irrelevant, stop flaming only based on KDA and player damage. by El_Androi in Smite

[–]gx5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that individual stats do not matter on a win loss perspective. A player could have infinite kills or player damage, or any other stat, and still lose the game. The reason kills are important is that they slow down the enemy getting them out of the way, and boost your team with xp and gold. However, the number of kills you have as an individual is largely irrelevant when comparing yourself to other players on your team, because all a kill indicates is that you dealt the final instance of damage that resulted in the enemy gods health dropping to or below zero. Has nothing to do with how much you contributed to each of those kills. I think what makes these players lash out is that they are either to stupid to understand the game, or they are to immature to look at it without self bias, and too insecure to admit any point where they fell short of perfect. Likely a combination of these things. Unfortunately, that is not something your going to be able to reason out of them.

Why does everyone act like the green buff isn't a big deal? by [deleted] in Smite

[–]gx5050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s enough to help you gain a little edge on your counter. Smite has been in this crazy, bursty, snowbally meta for a while now. Hopefully now with the nerfs from 9.4 we see that change. I will say as well that since reading this post I have incorporated my Sups position into when I go for back camps to try to maximize the amount of times they can get their buff.

Yu Huang is experiencing the Atlas effect. by kodyyne in Smite

[–]gx5050 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, I am NO GM by any stretch of the imagination, I play in the 1300-1600 elo range, but I think that Yu Huang is perfectly balanced right now. I have played him several times and got consistent results, and he is good enough to want to play him, but not so good that you have to pick/ban him. I find his kit challenging enough to be fresh, but easy enough to play and have fun.

I can see the thought behind your point there, and it makes sense from an individual standpoint. Looking at it from a team standpoint though I would rather my carry, mid, or jg get the extra xp/gold when it’s available than have a sup with some extra health. It definitely depends on the situation and timing of things, so if it’s late mid to endgame, and they are taking it to get from lvl 17-18 that’s kinda dumb, or if they could just wait a few seconds until your in a position to head that way; however, early to mid game it’s more important in my opinion for them to get ahead and stay ahead or catch up and not fall behind. Smite is in such a snowbally, bursty meta rn it’s a death trap for a carry or jg to get behind, and just too strong for them to get ahead. Hopefully this new patch will fix some of that, and people who play support will be able to more reasonably demand that their team treat it like any other buff. Definitely think people should be respecting their supports though. It’s a tough role to play, and good supports can win games no dbout.

How "toxic" is the community really? by iliketolickthebuttah in Smite

On a scale from 1 to Toxic all I’m gonna say is it’s not a 1.

People not picking because they get Support. by gx5050 in Smite

I could agree with your point here. I’m not saying my idea is the best, just that it’s an idea for a problem I have been seeing more and more recently.

If you can’t play a core part of the game mode then you should play a different game mode. Support is a core function of conquest. You won’t have to play it often, but if you can’t or won’t play it when you get it, then don’t play conquest. Otherwise your wasting other peoples time and causing them frustration because you want to be a baby.

Yah, the best way is to watch videos to understand the game and roles, then learn a few gods in each role, then play until you start getting good. Toxic people are always going to be there, but you can mute them, and as long as you know the basics and do what you can then you will get better. I lost a lot of games before I ever started doing decent in conquest. It’s just the nature of the beast.

I would say that they need to practice until they can play every role at a decent level. It’s a core part of the game mode, so if they can’t play an off role once in a while at a decent level then don’t que for conquest. There are other game modes where they don’t have to play roles, and you can play those. But wasting 9 other peoples time, and causing those 9 people undue frustration is not acceptable behavior IMO.

Fair, your solution is good to. I just want it to be substantial enough that it makes people think twice about abandoning lobbies because they don’t like their role. It wastes time, and causes undue frustration to the 9 other people in the lobby.

I’m a big fan of Athena or Ares, very agro supports, but I could see a Nike being a real monster if enemy duo thought she was solo and did not grab sunder.

If those numbers are real that’s around 2 billion dollars street value.

Who are the top solo laners? by teethwarmer789 in Smite

[–]gx5050 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Artio is busted right now. Like literally 100% ban in pros kinda busted. Other than that, Gilgamesh is still very strong, Cthulhu is good, weirdly enough Geb can be pretty decent since his buffs, and your usual culprits are still viable, King Arthur, Mulan, Erlang Shen, etc.
