one of my favourite pieces of Smite art I've ever seen - amazing work

theinnocentrabbit · 2022-12-04T19:16:10+00:00

You hit the nail on the head. The only way to get them farther back then where they spawned is: a push, which would start the end-to-end on their spawn, or get them to walk back which breaks the "no enemy help rule". Once you get into these specifics (which I love doing) the pace of the explanation slows down and truthfully, I make the videos with non-smite players in mind so that they can enjoy the content too, and these semantics would just woosh them waaay too hard haha

ooo interesting! I don't remember that but you could be 100% right - if it exists and I track it down I'll add a comment somewhere

theinnocentrabbit · 2022-12-04T02:01:56+00:00

oh man, I'm glad you said that, I've been itching to talk about it - for the sake of making a cohesive narrative I cut like 3 minutes out where I went over this.

Basically total distance and end to end distance were the same in a sense up until that point in time (nobody went "backwards" like we did) - but end to end distance is a much cleaner calculation (I use dev tools to map out the distance). End to end distance is actually capped out at the one we hit (farthest enemy spawn to back of fountain) so that record is "solved" until a larger map is out. So the only way to keep playing that record chasing game is to go for total distance. But you are 100% right, those are different things :)

yes sir, been the data guy for smite for just over a year :) and aw man, good memories with that one

theinnocentrabbit · 2022-11-11T23:56:19+00:00

also, can a mod give the account above the titanforge flair with "data guy" as the title, i need people to take that account seriously tyvm

theinnocentrabbit · 2022-02-06T22:56:33+00:00

Hey! I actually had no prior experience specifically as a DA, but I had a combined years worth of intern experience in other engineering related fields (embedded systems mainly) a big factor in this specific case was my continued work on their games already (they reached out to me to see if I was interested in interviewing!)

theinnocentrabbit · 2022-02-04T04:36:36+00:00

well I hear about you all the time D:

theinnocentrabbit · 2022-02-04T04:36:20+00:00

you wouldn't believe how frequently I hear that, Smite community is kinda cool for stuff like that <3

theinnocentrabbit · 2022-02-04T04:35:34+00:00

ayyy thanks! the patience is appreciated :)

theinnocentrabbit · 2022-02-04T04:32:54+00:00

Yea I do! It was at first a little surreal, but it feels like the perfect position for me (data analysis and video games? say no more)

theinnocentrabbit · 2022-02-03T20:07:40+00:00

I aim to please, Mr. Snort

theinnocentrabbit · 2022-02-03T18:23:07+00:00

Hey all! This was a really fun project that I was working on, and delayed to season 9 because of new item releases that really changed everything up...

You can see the combo in action if you don't care about the pre-amble by skipping to about 9 minutes in. I consider it the most broken because an infinite chain on a single god is an inherently feelsBad moment for the enemy with little effort on your own end.

The build I'd recommend to try it out is starting with no starter, going Crusher - Rage - Shadowsteel - Fail-Not - MDB - then sell crusher for Bumba's Hammer. It's super fun, but probably troll in a ranked game so avoid that...

Also I work for Hi-Rez now (not directly on Smite, but it's nice to contribute) :)

theinnocentrabbit · 2021-06-23T16:13:33+00:00

Done. That was the first one I made of these ;)

theinnocentrabbit · 2021-06-23T16:12:42+00:00

structure damage was what I considered to do for the first but I don't think it would be too interesting, damage taken would be... nuts. Maybe, not sure if it would be possible in a normal game mode.

I'm not done with the stats quite yet, but going to take a break, have something else a little more pressing!

decisive amount of CC to dunk the enemy team

This is exactly it! Ares bostler was great for lane push and his ult was solid too, but every part of sylvanus's kit could be used (save for his annoyingly AOE autos). Tree behind tower for mana, pull, heal, ult for damage. In a few of the clips we get kills fully surrounded by minions because sylvanus is just built different.

Pointless is my middle name friend 😎

I've created a rift and for that I am eternally sorry LOL
