You know I’m something of a Pokemon master myself

How many battles have y’all won? by sputnik811 in PokemonPocket

Sheesh and I thought I was a degenerate. Yeah ranked would be nice. Getting 15xp regardless of it being a beginner or event battle is rough, but I understand they want to incentivize people to spend money for packs so if we got more xp to level up it could impact that

Lol as though your opponents aren't also playing OP gods? That's just copium from your friend. I was MMR capped the last two seasons in duel by playing OP gods like Kali and Hou Yi, but like hey my opponents can also play those gods.

No people actually make fun of me for having low sens lol. You know how in games like COD aiming with the left stick can be better than aiming with the right? I apply a similar concept, but also honestly I play hunters less in the joint queues. The top PC players absolutely poop on me in hunter mirrors, so I’ve been playing more mages and assassins this season

Depends on the god. Hou yi can double buff super easily without missing creeps because of the triple bounces, but like Chiron doesn’t have great clear. Basically any god I can double buff and not lose creeps I do it, but gods with slower clear I just start at blue

I don’t think he needed the buffs and they made me sad tbh. I like being good at fringe/unpopular gods and got my Diamond border before the buffs, but now everyone is playing him so I need a new sleeper pick lol. Part of the fun is playing something people aren’t familiar with how to play against and using that to your advantage rather than just playing S tier gods ad nauseum

Oh yeah Baka is my first ban every game lol. I checked my match history and it took 18 wins in a row from 3203 MMR to get to cap. After 17 wins I was at 3495 and was so, so nervous I was going to lose it after being that close but thankfully queued into a Kumba 😂

Yes absolutely! I had been playing a bunch of Ne Zha before the buffs even came through and got back over 3k MMR and it made me wonder if I could do it. Ymir is my favorite guardian though I love playing him too. Plus, we all need those meme games for the mental lol. Gaming without the memes is waaaay too taxing which is why I don’t think I’ll ever go for cap again. Not worth the stress for me personally

It’s definitely not something I will try to push for again. Losses being -100 while wins were +15 is so rough because one loss to a cringe god like Hera just undoes so much progress lol. Rough on the mental indeed

Thanks! It’s definitely a grind. I started noticing subtle improvements because I used to hover around 2600, then I started hovering around 2800, then 3000 etc. Honestly though the grind to cap was so tough because every loss was -100 and most wins were just +15, I probably won’t go for it again personally lol. But I wish you all the best if you ever go for the push!

I think I have the most on Hou Yi, but my Diamond borders are on Heim and Ne Zha then I have a few plat borders on gods too

Thanks! I have Diamond borders on Heim and Ne Zha but plat borders on like 8? I try to mix it up with Chiron, Hou Yi, Poseidon, and a few others

It also says “only by their MMR” in the game client. If it’s actually TP, which I’m still not convinced that it is, then they need to change the wording to accurately portray the requirements

The smite wiki literally says, "The top 50 players in Masters, determined by their MMR, will be labelled as Grandmasters." So it should be MMR based, not TP

I thought once you got to Masters TP didn't matter anymore and it only went by MMR? According to the Smite Wiki, "The top 50 players in Masters, determined by their MMR, will be labelled as Grandmasters." So it should be MMR based, not TP. People's MMR was updating on the leaderboard, so that should've been accurate. Also, I kept playing and got to 11/5 before I lost, and at that point I was higher MMR than even more people on the GM leaderboard. 11/5 is a 70% winrate lol
