SMITE general /smgen/

>That feeling when Hades is just there to play smite, sucks all game, 0/x/0.

> he turns up with a 2nd item blink and hits a 4 man ult to set up a 6 slot snek ult.

You did it son. You won us the game.

You hit the ult that mattered.

Whats a good item setup for Kuzenbo solo que in arena/joust?
I've heard he can be played like a heavy caster

and by hades I mean Ares, they both end in EES. Fuck off. I'm a snake, its a fucking miracle I can even type on the internet.

Left right as season 3 was winding down and they had released new items and foreshadowed a less healing dependent meta. I played a few games and won all of them somehow, but was wondering which new items or reworked items are worth using consistently? I play most roles except assassin, but primarily guardian/mage if that helps in answering at all.

You mean her half finished face?

there was a healing meta? I'm p new and cant imagine any of the healing abilities ive seen managing to handle all the burst dam or combo ults

That nose is pretty fucked.

>he didn't watch the huehues get stomped by Jungle Aphrodite

I wouldn't say a healing meta, but most team fights seemed to be for the most part: initiate, throw bursts on whoever got cced, 4 fall back for team heal/med, one secures kill, then back to neutral. Seems the fall back for heal part is less important or reliable now with the anti heal buffs. Back to my question, can someone give me a quick rundown on the notable new/reworked items?

Don't care.

...

if a good one exists i haven't seen it yet

pick a real god holy shit i'm tired of memesters making me 2v3

What announcer pack is the best and why is Swagni?

Either Nox or Nevercake

nevercake one fucking sucks, I usually leave all my APs on for a while but after a week I took his off

I havent heard that one, its not avaliable on the wiki.

I like it, it's BM as fuck

just got the game, man so many of the decent skins are exclusive, why can I not just buy these for like 10 bucks?

WHY CAN I HEAR THE FAINT ECHO OF 'YOU ROCK' EVERY TIME I DIE IT'S NOT COMING UP AS ANYONE SAYING IT INGAME

welcome to hirez

they deny themselves tons of money because?....

Why sell you one nice skin for $10 when they could sell you 4 shitty skins for $25?

but I wont spend 25$ for those skins

why do they think people wont buy the skins they like for the gods they play? have they never seen TF2 or CSGO?

Is Kuzenbo realy that shitty guys?
I'm super new but I adore his voice and design. and while his ult is utter garbage getting sick turtle shots and bodyblocking with him is really fun.

should I give up before I'm too invested? or wait for the buff (god rank 3 for ref)

Okay but that doesn't sell the crappy, old skins no one wants.

if you feel like you're not impacting the game you should mix more damage into your build.

Consider something like gem of iso and cdr caster boots. This'll give you some sticking power and some reasonable threat while kappas are still enough to bully people back.

Once those are finished go into tankier items. Your ratio's aren't bad, and the extra damage and slow helps you.

Save ult for disengaging or finishing a guy off.

please quick post glaive goat item/ability build i'm about to load in

the aoe first

Break a god by only buffing a skill/passive

>Scylla's Sentinel will now slow/debuff all gods within its vision radius

>

Nu Wa ult is now an execute

Neith now gains weaves for ally gods dying

Tyr's Fearless in defense stance now applies knockup.
And Power Cleave applies extended knockup duration in both stances

Hades ult now cripple.

Anhur ult projectiles are all the same as his 2

>enemies get knocked out of range of your ult
>you get 4 shots off until they are out of range
fug

On the flipside
>Anhur catches you against a wall/pillar
>stunned for the rest of your now short life

Okay yes that is pretty dope

They need to fix his fucking ult so it doesn't become useless past midgame
add protection shred to it so it has some utility ffs

>they need to buff an early game God's ult so its power isn't at early - mid game

Oh that gives me another idea-
Anhur's ult projectiles all count as basic attacks (so item effects and crits apply to each one)

Nox can use her 2 while channeling her one / Nox can instantly detonate her 2.

Because chests. Because they can leave all the good skins in chests and people will buy them a dozen times trying to get the skin they want. The low cost of the chest compared to a skin that can be purchased outright makes people think it's a bargain. And hey, those 55 item chests? Just buy up all the ward skins, icons and voice packs and you're almost guaranteed to get the skin you want! Never mind all the money you spent to get those other items you will never use, now you can get that next sweet, sweet cosmetic upgrade for next to nothing!

>deny

If they didn't work, they would have dropped the chest system. There was a time when there were no chests and only a few limiteds.

>being this poor

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO AGAINST KHEPRI AND ATHENA ???? JUST WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CLEAR LANE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EVEN FUCKING WALK FOR FUCK SAKE THEY BRING TOO MUCH IN HELPING THEIR ADC CLEAR AND THEIR CC IS SO EASY TO LAND AND SO UNFAIR YOU'RE DEAD EVERYTIME YOU GO TO LANE WITH BEADS DOWN
>gg-git g-gud haha

HOW DO YOU FUCKING GIT GUD EVEN WHEN YOU OUTPLAY THE SHIT OUT THEIR ADC THEY JUST PRESS ONE BUTTON TO CANCEL ALL YOUR EFFORT AND TURN AROUND THE FIGHT

JUST WHAT THE HELL IS THIS FUCKING SHIT IF YOU DON'T HAVE BOTH OF THEM BANNED THEN YOURE IN FOR 30 MINUTES OF HIV SYRINGES BEING EMPTIED DOWN YOUR ARTERIES

...

>he still takes his HIV in syringe form
Everyone knows suppositories are the new meta

>NA top seed nearly lose to BRs

The bracket is fucking designed try help and NA to quarters, and even still they nearly fuck it up.

Why are NA so bad at smite?

too much time meming on streams

>The bracket is fucking designed try help and NA to quarters, and even still they nearly fuck it up.

It's designed so NA is guaranteed into finals.

Eager isn't going to beat Dig.

NA comps make me want to vomit at this lan. LG's comp was disgraceful, I've watched console games with less circles.

Oh yeah, forgot about them. Just saw they stomped Soar yesterday.

Yeah, looks like it's gonna be Dig v Obey for the finals.

Fucking NA sucks, what the hell

Hnnnng I fucking love ra his ult is my favourite

>2 players pick assassins in clash
>they're together and they both buy watchers gift

>more bm and afking
>f6
>im 42k damage with a full tank build, more than both combined
Umm assassin babies?

bois I stopped playing this game after the fafnir patch, I recently tried to play a game of clash but we lost and everyone reported me even the enemy team I don't remember it being this toxic is this just an EU thing?

also might try it again since I've been craving a moba, can anyone give me a summery to what changed since the fafnir patch?

late night/early morning has the most shitty people playing

Really? I'm new to the game (and EU too) and the most "toxic" thing I found was from a supposedly diamond player smurfing, who while playing joust said to our third teammate that he played good for a beginner but his build was shitty.
I even get counseling from time to time; the other day I learned that building your items one by one is better than having a bunch of level one items because one guy I was playing with told me. This is also my first MOBA, by the way.
So far it's been a great experience, both in-game and community wise.

the thing is I'm not really new to the game I was playing it for around 2 years and then quit, so I guess after coming back later to my account I played like a beginner but was matched with people my level, anyway clash and arena and causal matches shouldn't ever be this toxic, I'm 100% sure it was because of the time I was playing with very young autistic people

Guys, I just won a conquest 2on5 with Solo Bellona.

I always knew Bello was somehow a little above the rest in some fields, but holy shit, once I was feed in early, I was unstoppable even when 3 of my team left.

I want to lick Awillix's butthole.

Bellona fucking like being outnumbered because her blundgeon deal more damage with each ennemy god hit during the spin. I fucking love Masamune on her because it synergises so well with her playstyle.

...

I usually go some kind of dps build that works on me the 90% of time. It takes benefit from her basic attack's pasives and you can have sustain, power, protections etc. . .

That build synergies very well with all her kit.

I always prefer being tanky because I hate being squishy. So I usually build boot then 2 protection item one physical and one magical. And then Masamune, a pen item and another item depending of the situation in the order I need. You become tanky and you still deal enough damage to not be useless.

Well, the cores of this build are usualyl Red Boots, Ichaival and SCS.

Then you go Exe/Forstbound as your late damage items along Wingblade and Sould eater If you don't want go full damage you have two def items selling ichaival, what can be Discord, Nemea, Kusari orSoul Eater.

Of course, if you got fed on early/mid you can go instead same cores, Exe, Frost Bloodforge and a 7th dps item or Masamune if you feel like you need a little more protection.

please kill yourself

...

Waiting for Rán, Ceto or Thalassa Hi-Rez. I need my fishtits waifu.

>tfw cucking bellona's bludgeon with swks tiger every god damn time
I hate that bitch when im playing anyone else so the feeling is so good.

Hell so good i pick swk 9/10 times when im solo now

I know that fucking feeling, and I shameful say, I don't know how to face SWK as bellona.

If you cant juke while in bludgeon your best bet is to 3 swk and move back to gather the creeps and start your 2 in the middle of your archers and dunk em.
Buuut a smart swk will stay back and poke your minions and bull form you if you're hugging your creeps.

Another trick is to ready a gank as his wave is coming to tower and bludgeon from the edge of your tower and move back under. If the swk used tiger hes got a delay to take a tower hit and now his escape is down.

The last tip i can think of is just asking for a gank and waiting for the escape when you have ult and slamming him in eagle before he gets away. Its sounds crazy but most swks including myself unless i got dunked on earlier will go in a straight line to get to point B faster.

These are pretty much the only ways ive been killed by her but with good ult management its not even enough to win lane.

So what is the deal with Lonos Mask?

So for 500G, fully stacked (75 stacks needed!) it gives you 150HP and 400Gold..thats it?

Sounds pretty garbage to me.

And yet there's no reason not to get it.

You pay 500G in advance to get at a way to late a time 400G back. Seriously, I see no reason why one would ever get it.

Literally just holding to your gold and not buy anything has more value than that.

You forget the 250 for selling it. Its not meant to be a massive health spike item, it just alleviates the lack of protections and health guardians have in the early game a little bit. Make more gold then you spend in the end and can repeatedly do this.

EMILZY A CUTE

Ever do so well in a game you just sit for five minutes and admire the scoreboard

I did not think about adding the G from the selling the Item, you are right you could do that. But still you need to pay 500 in advance to get 150 in return.

Maybe some could see value in that but I believe that having to first reach 75 stacks to do that is simply set way to high.

I am happy to see Nox banned, who is the Nox player?

The thing is that it fits extremely easily into the start of a build. You just get watchers and lono's, pots and you're set. You don't lose anything significant except two pots and boots, and if you play without them, you can steadily create a gold lead from the enemy support and keep yourself alive in certain situations. It's a starter item so don't expect it to do anything crazy, and considering all supports do is rotate and get assist farm, it's not too difficult to build.

>go into arena as hunter
>get RAPED by Ballona the second i get out of spawn
what the fuck is that god? isn't she a warrior

Nah it complete garbage, I'd always rather get the tiny bit extra movement speed and some more pots than that.

It would need to lower the necessary amout of stacks by a bunch or increase the HP+ maybe add some HP5 to it or increase the gold amout you get from reaching the stacks to make it maybe viable for me.

all the tanky gods are OP early game

Khepri is such a bad God, he really doesn't do everything you want out of a support

Prettyprime. He played her once yesterday and did relatively poorly so I don't see why she was banned at all.

To bad I missed it.
I rarely see a "pro" play Nox, since she is my favorite god to play I was interested to see on how they play her.

The only player who has had success with Nox is MLCStealth, and he does what Nox does. Lock people down, use ults at start of team fights, snipe people, etc, just at a very high root landing rate.

I mean how they build her.

Despite having played her a decent amount of times, aside from usually going very high if not full CDR with her, I feel a bit troubled on what Items to get since Season 4.

>huge model so he can easily bodyblock
>passively give shiel shield
>excellent peel
>good single target CC
>decent wave clear that also give ally damage reduction and shre opponent protection
>ult that can revive an ally, and also cleanse CC and give MS+slow immunity
>but has mediocre inititation and no mass CC but that can be deal with a good team comp
>bad support
What the fuck are you smoking user?
