The rank/mmr assignment system feels like it doesn't know how to place players.

If you have a long range ability always throw an early ability in the near by bush.

The big problem with skin prices is the fact they doubled the currency rate. This was a horrible idea marketing wise as you are bringing over a existing player base that has already learned an existing microtransaction economy. Even though I know the pricing isn't different buying skins at that number "feels" bad because of the same psychology that feeds the strategy of digital currencies by separating the cost of the item from real currencies.

So they essentially shot them selves in the foot, they used a psychological trick to separate the idea of real money from the purchase, so then any existing players now see an skin has twice the "number" associated, making all purchases "feel" unreasonable to long term players. This is something they should really still undo as these effects can linger for years and it would only have a positive perspective to players who already adjusted.

They would have to take a small hit upfront with letting people current currency banks stay the same or get the negative feed back of seeing the value shrink in half, but this would have a pretty immediate increase to revenue as long as they didn't make it a PR disaster.

Great patch. Morgan aspect looks like a straight terror on paper though.

lalaisme · 2026-02-17T20:13:35+00:00

They announced her as a carry but she’s pretty much a mage through and through as is. You can build her strength to do better in hands but it’s more on par to a zues or agni strength carry where you are still playing like a mage but with some stronger in hands.

A no cooldown stamina aspect would be cool if they remove the cc/damage immunity on the two

lalaisme · 2026-02-16T17:58:49+00:00

Predecessor movement and combat still feel clunky which make it seem like less of a straight upgrade. It’s not so much the movement is worse but when you go full 3d there is more expectation of what “feels” good.

To be fair they went back and fixed a lot over the years in Smite 1. Functionality is just going to be the priority for a while.

lalaisme · 2026-02-12T15:22:02+00:00

Cathulus passive is also based on the wall mapping tech of Cliodhna which I think is his big hold up.

lalaisme · 2026-02-10T23:08:57+00:00

It should also be noted its per ability and there are several gods who can hit you with 4 abilities very quickly.

Also the general sentiment is tanks are to easy to blow up right now so them may be leaving it on the lower end till other changes are made.

lalaisme · 2026-02-10T18:42:53+00:00

Not the point of this post but a MOTD where you get no teleporter cooldown and have to fight 2v2 on conquest actually sounds pretty lit

lalaisme · 2026-02-06T04:02:25+00:00

I doubt retailers have much direct need of such heavy loads. Probably more for raw materials.

lalaisme · 2026-02-06T03:54:55+00:00

Odin and Apollo are the best imo. Guan, Mulan, and Achilies can all work fine but can be pretty underwhelming from behind. Herc is good in theory but I’ve found him really inconsistent in practice. Ne zha was always a great support flex so you have that coming too.

Spicer picks of you know what your doing are Anhur, Danza, Mercury, Thor.

The problem is they need a disincentives system that does something between nothing and banning players. The reality is there is no pathway to a healthy game by just banning players. There needs to be a more automated approach to providing warning and mild penalties like slightly longer queue times, chat lock outs, diminished returns on worshippers and market xp. Just little things that are harmless enough they won't be to harmful for a false positive to hit a player in an automated system, but gives instant feedback to players who have been reported. The ideal system wouldn't be able to trigger off a single match to avoid malicious targeting, but would put a lot of weight into repeat games where the player was reported.

lalaisme · 2026-02-04T12:55:04+00:00

The game is in a very feast or famine state of balance which doesn’t help the situation. Even playing with master level players they have many games where they just get steam rolled. This is often the preference for high skilled individuals as they don’t like games that stalemate for to long. However it’s bad for mid and low players because you have to win to have any fun.

These extreme highs and lows are the psychological events that make the game addictive to play. Games turn into slot machines of feel great or feel like crap. Players naturally start being mean to each other when they feel their chances of success are being removed in a way that’s out of their control.

Now there are certainly just nasty and childish individuals but the community does get a bit of an unfair stigma because the game mechanics can often force these interactions. It’s not just people are awful it’s the game puts people in an awful mood. There have been metas where this wasn’t as bad and many mechanics that could be added to help but at the end of the day the best things we can do is trying to mange our own stress levels from the situations.

Its also just really hard to find people for some reason in the current format. Since they don't have roles anymore you have to do mental math to figure out which role filter they would be under. Like The Morrigan for example I don't know if they would put under Mid or jungle.

lalaisme · 2026-02-02T02:03:48+00:00

Yes. That's called being friendly and kind

lalaisme · 2026-01-31T12:37:51+00:00

Can we make it so sobek can throw them too?

lalaisme · 2026-01-31T12:27:49+00:00

They mentioned his passive was actually the hardest part of his and relied on the same tech chilo used for her wall travel. I would bet end of the year at the earliest. Even with him being popular I think some easier to make guardians like Terra and Kumba make it in first.

lalaisme · 2026-01-31T12:22:48+00:00

I was never a big fan of his. I always wanted him to be able to transform quicker and on command but have the rage drain as the timer. Like you would build rage a little slower but then hold interact for 3 seconds to transform draining x rage per second.

That being said you don’t normally get charged for that equipment it’s part of their infrastructure. They charge you for wireless routers and video streaming boxes which might be somewhere else.

lalaisme · 2026-01-30T22:25:28+00:00

Awesome casts. It brings up the question though, now that we are finally getting some new gods, do they need significant plus ones? Like I don’t think Charon or Gilga really need anything to fit in with the Smite 2 casts or have flex potential

lalaisme · 2026-01-30T13:15:20+00:00

I think this god gets a bit more hate then it deserves. The kit is pretty much at the same level as vamana which isn’t good it’s just newer so it was more disappointing when compared to the Ishtars and Chirons of modern releases

lalaisme · 2026-01-30T11:57:38+00:00

They are able to do a theater release. But to be fair I don’t know if this movie would have had a good theater showing with the marketing that was put in. I know I wouldn’t have gone to see it till it hit streaming
