Kinda getting into this game and playing with a handful of friends - are there other gods as annoying as Danzaburou because he's been an absolute blast to play and is that perfect mixture of elusive and aggravating. I need more like him (generally awful at melee dudes though)

You probably want to look at Hou Yi, Sol and Caribdis then, all of them have quite fantastic escapes and are auto attack ranged characters like Danza

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

I haven't played Smite in years but I tune in for the reveals every now and then and I'm still impressed by their art teams. For some random reason when I was laid up with covid last fall I landed on watching people play on twitch. I had no energy to do anything else but for some reason it was chill to watch people play and rage at their teammates. I racked up tons of the twitch points I'll probably never use and still grab whatever freebies Prime throws out for this and Paladins.

If the idea is gods and myths I can see adding pop culture fantasy skins like Transformers, Ninja Turtles, RWBY and Avatar: the Last Airbender. But Slipknot?

Hell, why not, I guess.

I played a lot in season 3 and 4, dabbled slightly in season 5 and just now picked it up again.

I feel like I have an aimbot when I play on my PC. It's insane. And there is a massive difference in which gods are strong because of the input differences. Medusa, for example is incredibly powerful on console because most folks haven't changed their sensitivity to be able to look away from her ult fast enough. Skill shot dependent gods (e.g., Anhur) are a lot weaker because it is so much harder to hit them consistently.

Basically it's a whole different game, turns out.

These hunter earrings are insane.

It is so hard to miss an auto on a hunter with those things. Pair it with qins and you will shred tanks.

I really wanted to play a moba but I also really didn’t want to leave the couch so I tried this game out. Pretty fun! Jumped into conquest with Kukulkan and applied a simple rule of “go to the empty lane and push”, which was easy since everyone was pretending it was ARAM and going mid. I pushed all the way through to the titan in both side lanes and then steamrolled mid to an easy win, yay. We’ll see how many more matches I can play this way.

Hi thread, I haven't played Smite in like a decade. An old friend reached out and I reinstalled it. Way back in the day they used to sell some Bundle that included all future releases; have they kept that promise? If I go to Gods --> Filter by "Purchaseable" it displays an empty table, so if there's nothing to purchase I guess that must mean I have everything.

Is there a good short crash course for someone who hasn't played this game in forever? I still play DOTA heavily, so I'm familiar enough with vague MOBA concepts but like, is last hitting a thing in this game I don't even remember. I should get a few bot games in after work...

edit;

Okay 9 years. Is there an equivalent to dotabuff.com that will show me my entire match history data?

I played like 3 games solo after playing with buddies and remembered mobas are awful :(

Sorry I don't know the arbitrary meta on how I'm supposed to be pulling jungle camps at the start of the game, I just wanna hit creeps. And then pubbies /surrender immediately so I can't even play long enough to learn.

Skins from before the upcoming season won't transfer over, and if you link accounts, you'll receive Legacy Gems equal to the amount of gems you spent in Smite 1, but they can only be used for 50% of new contents pricing(So if you spent 2000 gems in current Smite, you'll get 2000 Legacy Gems in Smite 2. But if there's a skin in Smite 2 you want that's 600 Gems, you can only pay 300 of those with Legacy Gems and need 300 other normal gems to buy it)

I'm on an R5 5600 and a 3080 and I get regular frame drops/stutters. I usually assume it doesn't perform well *because* it's so old.
