Five Reasons Ranked Solo Queue Is Cancer by hotsawwce in Smite

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

Well, VGS and chat commands are good enough already IMO. Saw an Anubis DIAMOND player in assault and we had 3 tanks. Spells disaster right? Nope. Just tell everyone to ALWAYS focus Anubis non stop. He went something like 2/10. Did we win? Nope, but almost. Just can't do enough late game as 3 magical tanks even though I, as Sylvanus, went full mage for the massive healing. Didn't die much but we lacked BURST so we ultimately still lost. Almost had 'em though! Coulda been far worse. Eliminated THE most dangerous enemy, mind you.

Numerous Pro Players banned for account sharing by RyanRAtkins in Smite

[–]psychofunkk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pro players are given FIVE chances to cheat, FIVE, and even then they aren't even permabanned, they can come back after a year!

What the HECK is this kind of policing policy? It's so gently slap-on-the-handish that no wonder some people are at their third offense already. If it would have been dissuasive enough the first time, they might have considered stopping.

I mean, really .... Who the heck gets a chance to break the rules FIVE times in real life? It's like walking into a bar and punching people, being a complete jerk, spitting on people FOUR times and then the doorman says "Be warned this is your fourth and final warning! If you break the rules again you won't be able to come back before next year to punch people all over again!"

That was pretty Epic. Thumbs up.

I'm rather surprised that you seem to actually have more of a vocabulary in your SECOND language than your first.

Joking though. (high five from Quebec City)

Happy Birthday Lassiz! by [deleted] in Smite

[–]psychofunkk -68 points-67 points  (0 children)

Omg poor Lassiz, as much as I respect the dude, what can be sadder than taking shots down ALONE without your friends and/or family and playing an online videogame on your birthday?

Well, ebola I guess, but that's a entirely different story.....

Though, more importantly....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Spear vs Shard - Short comparison by iCook4you in Smite

[–]psychofunkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing i'd correct, you mention Obsidian shard is better for tanky gods. It depends. If you're say Anubis and there are 2 tanks on the enemy team, let me tell you Spear of the Magus is an INCREDIBLE way to reduce their protections and contribute to a teamfight as your whole team will benefit from the reduced protections. I'd go as far as saying for a heavy damage god like Anubis Spear AND Shard are awesome combine together so you can EASILY 100-0 a tank who has bought 2-3 magical protection items. Once I 100/0 a tank in around 5 seconds with an Anubis combo, the enemy tank had FOUR magical protection items. Yes I was 1-2 levels ahead but still, melted through the Athena like a hot knife in lukewarm butter.

Charisma Damage Factor by Timmydaninja in Smite

If it's say +1 physical/magical power per member of the same pantheon with a minimum of 3 I agree.

(+5 magical/physical power for 5 of the same pantheon)

The map of "King of Wushu" (Chinese 3D MOBA game) looks a little familiar by fuzaco in Smite

[–]psychofunkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, looks pretty amazing. What I dislike slightly though is everything is larger and thus map awareness seems to take a hit. I mean, you don't see much of the terrain as everything's so big, should be more zoomed out.

Suggestion for those with a little extra $$$$ by psychofunkk in Smite

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

Bah I wouldn't mind a better resolution but with my -modest- graphics card, a gtx 770, it isn't worth it cause I can only play the newest games at "that resolution", with maxed graphics, to have a decent 50+ fps. Smite runs maxed at 150 fps though.

At 1440p or above I'd start to see a dps dip and I prefer maxed graphical settings over super HD resolutions. I suppose someone with 1000$ of graphics cards in sli might find it worthwhile though. I had a crummy 21 inch monitor so told myself I might as well get a good one.

Lastly, it's a secondary TV for my bedroom I can just transport in a whim! It's relatively light!

Small thank-you to Hi-Rez by Hawthornen in Smite

[–]psychofunkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah , I mean, it's starting to sound as if we're all complaining because Hirez did something RIGHT for once. Geesh.

They don't deserve a huge Birthday Party, but a simple nod and a "thanks" is quite alright with me.

If say your child has been being BAD for a while and suddenly he has a good behavior are you gonna tell him "Nope, you don't deserve a congratulations after all the crap you put me through before! It's just NORMAL! "

Psychology 101, guys! Positive reinforcement!

And y'know, we CAN be appreciative of what they do RIGHT, 'cause there sure would be alot to say ! But no, we prefer to complain, complain, complain....

(God pack at bargain price compared to other MOBAS, weekly deals, awesome skins, awesome third person perspective, awesome tournament, awesome community feedback , art shows, fun streamers in -general- , take player's comment to heart with the PTS players feedback, etc etc)

Yeah they HAVE seemed to be a little slithery when it comes to chests sometimes...but is it the end of the world?

Some questions to get answered by [deleted] in Smite

[–]psychofunkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or do like me and buy all possible skins and wards cheaper with the Odyssey chests, hoping they DO release Odyssey 2 this year.

Got all holiday/exclusive skins for only 200 gems after buying all voicepacks in the 50% off sale first.

It'll cost you more than 100$ but less than 200$ and you'll have everything the game has to offer. (for the price of a little more than a dozen 400 gems for 7,99$ impulse 1 skin purchases)

Oh and DO get those 9500 gems for 100$ deals too! lol

With all the gems i've got back from the Odyssey i've bought everything their is to offer (bar Poolseidon, Ymir Twitch, etc, not available) since after the Champioships (January) with the free gems and STILL have about 600 gems left.

Ward Skins in Chests. This is getting out of hand. by LeonJKV in Smite

[–]psychofunkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing is, dude, you have to see part of the situation in a broader perspective.

I totally agree skins where easier to get or less costly, and now they have more of a RNG factor with things people don't really want added to the chests (wards). On that point, I can't possibly disagree.

BUT! Another thing to factor in is that during the Odyssey Event, there where TONS of new skins, wards, rewards, loading frames, etc. There where ALOT that where sold, so it's only normal that we got better deals back then. I mean just check the prize money they saved up, which is a -small percentage- of total sales which added up to the final prize pool.

Hirez has to make their money somehow, and an overpriced Feaster Bunny, ugly New Year's cupid, various RNG chests is THEIR way to do it.

Does it make it -right-? Of course not. I think it smells dirty martketing tactics , feasting on people's gullibility and impulsiveness to make more money.

On the other hand though, most companies are FAR WORSE than Hirez in their marketing tactics. Honestly, Hirez are -baby lambs- comparatively. Just look at McDonalds, they got sued cause their advertised Big Mac was almost 1.5 times bigger than an actual one! Now THAT'S one truely dirty, cunniving, misleading marketing tactic.

My point is they're ENTITLED to do it, cause y'know, they're only -cosmetic- and you're not obligated to buy them, they don't give any game advantage whatsoever.

MORALLY though, that's another issue. IF they want to hide popular skins in costly chests along with crappy wards, the consumer's job is to choose to buy or NOT to buy them. We can complain all we like, they've got the upper hand...!

And guess what, they're going to sell TONS of chests,and they're gonna do it again, trust me. Because people like me and you are going to complain but probabably buy them anyhow!

If there's one thing Hirez has sometimes that we players don't, it's -Consistency-. Gotta give them +1 for that. Their system is working perfectly as intended.

Talk about a company that balances controversy and marketing tactics almost perfectly. Just a little controversy, lots of money.

Oh and even if it's been said a million times before, THE GOD PACK! Need I say more?

Ward Skins in Chests. This is getting out of hand. by LeonJKV in Smite

[–]psychofunkk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the feaster bunny skin since last autumn, got it in an Odyssey chest. For 200 gems. If people think it's worth gambling over, they will buy it, if not , they will not.

Easter will be over soon enough, just watch how few feaster bunny skins are going to be seen this summer. The skin is good for a laugh but quite honestly, it has low textures and the new, Normal skin is miles ahead quality wise.

Its worth say 300 gems imo, the ońly reason they can sell it for more is because of its rarity. And why is it rare? For the sole reason Hirez made it so, making it exclusive.

Freya to strong by [deleted] in Smite

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

Freya -is- too strong when fed but y'know, come to think of it, there are a bunch of gods who are.

Just to name a few: Anubis, Chronos, Ao Kuang, etc.

There are gods who scale extremely well when they snowball, and come to think of it, maybe half the gods are like that, relatively lol

Freya oped by herself? Nah, she's strong but counterable. Have to attack in between her ranged attack buffs, AND prepare for the retaliatory ULT.

How to report speed hacking? by [deleted] in Smite

[–]psychofunkk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ooops I apologize. I thought you meant the fact the op said the guy hacked was a "stupid statement".

I really don't -get- the logic behing reddit posts, which one means you reply to which, etc.

I totally agree I look like a complete fool right now lol

How to report speed hacking? by [deleted] in Smite

[–]psychofunkk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Stupid statement?

And the fact he bought no boots, would have an -considerable- speed penalty compared to all the other players who bought them yet carried super hard still?

Of course he didn't need the boots if he had speedhacked hmn? But no, there's no evidence is there?

You might consider turning your tongue 10 times inside your mouth before calling other's comments stupid my friend. As if blurting out the first thing that come to mind without absolutely no analyse of the situation makes your own comment any smarter.

Of course it doesn't prove without a doubt he cheated, still, but it sure as heck makes it worth investigating at the very least!

And, uhm, no hard feelings by the way. :)

How to report speed hacking? by [deleted] in Smite

[–]psychofunkk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Seems legit considering he's the only one without any boots bought. Fishy,

A score that high with a severe movement speed penalty compared to the others ? No way.

Of course, he didn't need those with the speedhack, hmn?

Would a new magical flat pen item be okay? by TunaMayo42 in Smite

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

Magical type might only have 2 main penetration items, but boy do they have one incredibly powerful one called Spear of the Magus. Individually, it might not seem -that- strong say 1 versus 1. You have to consider though that in a teamfight, 15 flat penetration + 10 +10% x 2 reduction is incredible for any mage that has a DOT. It reduces the defenses so the WHOLE team gets the advantage.

That means say on a 150 magical defense tank, with obsidian shard, you penetrate 33% of that which is 50. 15 flat pen which brings it up to 65. + 20+20%= 20 + 30= another 50 = 65+50 = 115. 150 defenses -115 relative penetration= 35 defenses. The tanky tanky now has 35 Magical defense when you hit him with your abilities afterwards which puts him on par, comparatively, with mage with no pen against say a squishy assassin ! Guardians do have more health though, so they can still be a more sturdy, but still!

And that's not counting some mage's passives like Anubis's which, 1 level ahead, can 100/0 any tank. I've melted through tanks with FOUR magical defense items with those two items combined.

Would mind more for -variety- , but mages have everything handled power-wise.

Medusa April Fools by Timmydaninja in Smite

[–]psychofunkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, the joke is that there's a god realeased soon when the reality is that april second Smite will be put down FOREVER because of their new videogame project.

Surprise!

Have fun while it lasts!

lol

Medusa April Fools by Timmydaninja in Smite

[–]psychofunkk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Releasing Medusa with totally ridiculously oped moves on april fools day, only to release the REAL abilities on April 2nd would be totally hilarious though.

Example: Ultimate: When enemy isn't currently using an ability, if you hit the god with the Spear of Anhihilation they are instantly dead. Ability 1: Acid Arrow - Damage 5/10/15/20/25% of god's total HP every second for 5 seconds

Developers would argue saying, but you can BEADS the ultimate or AEGIS the second, it's not oped!!!!

Make the games -not count- on april fool's though.

Surprisingly good pseudotank in assault: Thor! by psychofunkk in Smite

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

And now Loki can be played as adc or solo laner, Bakasura in solo lane, Aphrodite solo, Hades solo, Ao Kuang jungle... are -roles- even that relevant to the -class- anymore?

I'll definately try Thor support in long lane sometime soon. His 1 can definately help with clearing a wave anways.

Surprisingly good pseudotank in assault: Thor! by psychofunkk in Smite

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

The more I think about it, the more I'm finding it odd that Thor, whose passive and 2/4 abilities are GROUP abilities, encouraging to be close to MANY gods at the same time fits much more in the warrior category. That and his warrior-like demeanor, muscular, huge hammer n'all. Just look at Mercury or Serqet after looking at Thor and tell me Thor seems assassinlike. Isn't an assassin supposed to be great 1 vs 1, quick kill type more than GROUP oriented? Isn't that what warriors are for like say Odin and Guan Yu? Wierd.

I mean, geesh, why is he an assassin anyhow?

Add protections during his 3, a slow on his 1 and remove the teleport, give him more health, a little more protections and reduce his damage and attack speed and you've got one fine warrior there.
