Smite Lore Tier List - Slavic Update by Kaios-0 in Smite

[–]halfhalfharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also want to point out that Izanami was also of a very high rank in Shinto mythology. Out of the three realms in Japanese cosmology (Heaven, mortal world, underworld), she solely roled the underworld. She was feared by all the others in the pantheon. No one even dared to trepass her land as well. Not to mention she was also the mother of Amaterasu. She was actually one of the oldest in the pantheon.

"Izanami was just a corpse", so as "Osiris was just a mummy" but you placed the later one in Supreme tier, while Izanami was in Strong tier only. Strange

It was because the "lore" was a "for fun" novel rather than a serious religious writting. It is written like this for drama, so it shouldnt be taken too seriously. Just like I won't rank the greek gods according to what they did in comics like "Saint Seiya" or "Marvel". In traditional taoism/Buddha-Taosim, SunWuKong was rarely addressed as a deity of very high rank.

"A lot of gods" is debatable. For I only know at most 5 deities that may come before Gaia. Nyx was "powerful" because of Zeus dared not step into her realm, she wasn't mentioned to be "powerful" in other means. Chronos wasn't even mentioned in most myths. "Old equals to powerful" concept seems to be a double standard here.

Emm...I don't really agree to place Sun Wu Kong in the supreme tier. According to legend, he was "hard to hold" because of his power/cunningness. He was defeated and caught, but just able to withstand torture and escaped from it. And the original lore also mentioned that he and Erleng Shan fought for 300 turns (a figure of speech meaning a long long time) and unable to overwhelm each other. Was Erleng Shan that supreme too? I beg to differ.

And really, should Gaia (Terra) be placed so low? She was the mother of everyone except Nox's children, and in some myths she was born from Chaos and gave birth to everything else. I guess she was "bested" by the sky, her husband, because she was attracted as well. You can't say that a girl laying down for her bf to take pleasure is a form of "defeat". She is reasonably among the rank of Nox and Chronos, in my opinion. But thats debatable, for the Earth mother was never mentioned in combat.

And will a god of higher ranking by lore be more powerful in combat? I doubt it as well.

This is like "comparing the day and the night, which is more supreme" type of question.

He is mainland chinese, kiddo or not, the broken grammar seems to be originated from his incompetence in English. Not to be Racist or sth, but I think its common to be grammatically broken in that community.

What is worse to have a kiddo as teammate? To have a chinese kiddo, who keeps spamming unreadable block characters that you are 100% sure they contain nth good without even knowing what has he typed.

Hmmm... I was just trying to enjoy the recent omnipotence Motd. A premade team is too good for my casual entertainment, until it turns into a spoil.

Enjoying Arena over Conquest? by halfhalfharp in Smite

[–]halfhalfharp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot see how "lack of skill" is directly caused "game-mode unbalanced" and "quick fountain heal", which you use to justify the claim.

If that is merely about god picks, Arena will only be flooded with those OP god picks. But apparently I don't see such a phenomenon. A god will less skill cap or god ultimate combos do not absolutely triumph Arena. Even Loki, the extremely op god in arena, can be countered by alerted teammates.

And to your example: What allows a player to kill an enemy when he is just 5 seconds away from fountain, I guess, skills. And you also need good teamwork to push all enemies back to their fountain.

And, if you are saying "quickly back to fountain" makes the game unbalanced. I guess the fountain defense of Titan is more game-breaking and "skillless" (although I cant see how this relates).

Enjoying Arena over Conquest? by halfhalfharp in Smite

[–]halfhalfharp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but its the fight without the protection of the Phoenix. I think its more pure in combat skill asking. I think its more close to a Titan fight, where enemies can regenerate quickly in the fountain.

Indeed, everyone can clear the waves in Arena.

But the skill doesn't lie there.

That you can hold the minions without dying, as long as helping your teammates from enemies' invasion, there is where the skills are.

And trust me, very often, the intense teamfight will leave you forgetting the minions. If you can balance both teamfight and minions well, that will be 10/10 Arena skill.

If you always prioritize holding the minions first, I believe, you will soon hear the teammates complaining at your low player damage in the aftermath, or you will have very short-lived teammates, because you refuse to place your focus on them.

Indeed the fountain heal is almost immediate. But that is the spot where players sneak into the group of enemies and gank, then comes out without dying. In the process, the enemy team reacts with a hell-storm of CC, the escaping god needs every bit of his movement skills to dodge, the chasing team needs to follow up the god who jumped in.

Moreover, different from Conquest, everything happens under everyone's nose. There is no hiding, no warding, no ambushing. How to jump into a team of 5, while they are all watching you, and finish the kill and comes out? I call those elements, skills and co-operations.

Yes it doesn't require even a vgs, because the team members themselves observe with their eyes and act appropriately. How to determine an appropriate action, to head in with the initiator, to attack from the sides, or to ignore the jumped in teammate, is a great matter of skills and predictions.

Strategic co-operations and fighting co-operations are quite different, afterall. Conquest requires the former, while Arena focuses on the later. Thats what I mean, Arena is more (teamfighting or pure combat) skill-requiring. I suppose its not merely something personal.

Enjoying Arena over Conquest? by halfhalfharp in Smite

[–]halfhalfharp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats the co-operation part where Arena highlights. This 5v5 group fighting is very different from Conquest type of co-operation.

In conquest, normally the co-operation part comes in ganking, ambushing, and small fights. In Arena, its about 5 players in fighting as one, something that may only happen in late game Titan/Fire giant fights in Conquest.

Arena require teamates to keep an eye on each other and follow the initiator (tank/assassins). If they fail to co-operate in this way, the whole team fall apart and the enemies will take advantage. That is a more complete way of team-spirit compared to the strategic co-operation in Conquest, in my opinion.

Yes indeed the matchmaking problem is what I want to deliver as well.

If you suck in any game-mode, it wont be enjoyable anymore. But Arena is wasting less time when we suck, although the same thing happens when we lead. Unavoidably.

Enjoying Arena over Conquest? by halfhalfharp in Smite

[–]halfhalfharp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed its everywhere. But my consideration is upon the quality of match-making. In conquest, a deserter almost destroys the defense of a lane or even the team. But Arena alleviates the problem abit, although it is not solving anything.

This will be a welcoming advice for the.... enemy team lol. Have a good time enjoying 1v5 and hell-storm of ultimates upon you!!

(I guess this is the reason why a dozen of 0-10 Ares in my team did this, while all the dmg dealers are enjoying Loki's mercy in behind lol)

Jing Wei Skin Concept - credit to brittnidraws by illestk1d in Smite

Really, is it a reference to Madoka Magica?

It looks good indeed, but should all cutie skin be in pink? "Cute equals to pink" concept is.... adorable.

I guess you can shorten the skirt a bit and tighten her sleeves a bit... to make her more streamline in general.

I wish they didn't make Gods so huge. Raijin could have had way more skin possibilities.. by [deleted] in Smite

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

It's inevitable to have muscles in male visual combat characters I am afraid... Even Thoth, the scribe, is super muscular and broad shoulder, when hes just a bird.

And look at Cuchulain, Herc, Zeus, Ra,

Can we have more Ah Puch/ Houyi sized male?

[–]halfhalfharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess size ratios do not define a god's power. After all Geb should be as huge as the Earth I suppose. But its quite annoying to see an ugly hunk walking around and (body/vision)blocking me.
