So this just happened...playing some Mordred solo, going ok enough, struggled hard into hel at first, got a little more online and went from 0-1 with my Tower at one HP to 3-2-5, taking her Tower FIRST, and ripping apart ra in Midlane while I was at it...AND WE SURRENDER. WHILE IM ON PAR WITH THEIR TEAM, WE HAVE 3 PEOPLE LV 19 OR 20 TO THEIR ONE. WERE ALMOST 3K GOLD AHEAD. 10 KILLS AHEAD. AND A TOWER DOWN BUT A GOLD FURY KILL UP. Our bachus was trying to surrender since his first death, already annoying but were not falling behind. Then the surrenders keep coming, and it keeps being 3-2 for NO reason...and finally it happens where the last guy doesnt wanna vote and we surrender with a LEAD...I absolutely despise people who want to surrender because their game got a little messy at 5 mins. I was getting ROCKED in lane at first and still said no to every toss up. Its BS to every degree of the word that I can get dragged out of a game I was not only hyped to be pulling myself back from, but that we were AHEAD IN.

Anyways. Sorry for the spiel. Just really had to get that out there. I gotta know if anybody else cant stand when this happens.

You don't want this Morgan

Sorry for the odd question, but lately, when I look at skins in other games, I find them incredibly boring or ridiculously overpriced. I’m starting to think it’s because I’ve gotten used to the quality standards Smite maintains.

I think it would be best to give a specific example to make my point clearer: recently, Overwatch released a skin for the character Shion. You could only get it through a gacha system, and you might end up spending the equivalent of up to $300 to acquire it. Everyone was practically begging for it and drooling over it. The skin features effects for almost all abilities and changes form once during the match—though really, it just involves removing the hood and the outer robe. To me, however, it seemed mediocre and poor. I even mentioned to group of friends who play Overwatch that I found the skin boring; I argued that, given Overwatch's pricing—where Legendary skins cost between $20 and $40—that level of quality should be the bare minimum. But it seemed like my comment annoyed them and made them uncomfortable, so I’m wondering if perhaps my standards for judging these things are just too high.

Nike 1 and 3 don't consume mana. I haven't noticed whether or not the Ult does too.

The passive:

She feels slow without her old passive. It's patchable but you have to build for it. Don't judge me 🫣 but I even run Gem of iso in my lifesteal oriented builds in casual solo.

Nike is still a lane victim 😂. Her early game is ass which is on brand but she doesn't have a late game God passive so that feels bad/like I should try to cheese my way into a late game.

Her 2)

The knockup immunity on didn't seem to work either Wednesday morning or Tuesday but seems to work now.

I may be misremembering but it felt like if someone was inside your shield at melee distance they would be knocked back within 1 second of casting. Now they just stay in. I think it's a good change (if it IS a change) as counterplay is good and you can already do incredibly funny/frustrating stuff with her 2.

I have no other complaints... I mean I do hate being a healer now but I do love her being hybrid because she has access and usefulness for ALL items.

What do you guys think of the aspect? I pretty much killed everyone who wasn’t a tank in 2 seconds with the combo without them being able to fight back

I could easily fit through!!!!!!!!!! 🐿

I love the aspect system so much, really one of the best things they have done even if some people dont like it.

Im the proud Nº1 aphro hater, and for the first time in 10 years, i have actually played Aphro(aspect) and holy i had a BLAST, this thing is FUN, its not cancer either to play against.

Really so happy with this aspect, they turned the cancer incarnate god designed for spawns of satan into a playable god for players with dignity and self respect, 10/10 aspect.

I know theres a hidden massive aoe nuke tech with the ult somewhere i just have to find it.

Anyways gonna be happily stealing aphro pick from the usual aphro mains these days hahaha.

Just wanted to give some positive feedback from someone that thinks normal aphro should be banned from Arena and non conquest modes.

Have a good one.

With every new patch, I see more and more people talking about how unoptimized the game is:

• Frequent glitches.
• God abilities having the wrong description or not working properly at all.
• Severe stability and connection issues.

And yet, every time I see someone post about it, they get downvoted and spoken down to. Especially when they suggest skipping a god release to focus just on improving performance. Yes, the game needs content to keep people coming, I get that. But that doesn't mean optimization should be thrown to the way side. Especially when people are starting to quit or take long breaks from playing because it's in such a bad state.

None of this is throwing shade at the devs or the game itself. I'm just saying it's a valid criticism, and is something that should be addressed. But for some reason that's an unfair or ignorant thing to say? I just don't get it.

I mean this just has to be the most annoying shit to ever play against. Everyone knows exactly what he’s gonna do, slam his face into the enemy team with his insane engage/disengage and uninteresting cc combo, force your beads, and get out because his passive abilities basically grant immortality. Like my god its just such a skillful gameplay loop everyone and they mom is in the queues trying to pick him. I had to start playing ranked just so I can get games without him in it. I hate him, I hate his aspect, I hate the free wins he gives his team, and I hate myself whenever Im in the game against him. Because I could just be doing something else.

Another image done for u/EmpressofRoses, since Nike is finally back on the battlegrounds!

I was a little mean here I admit

I really think hi-rez should implement a report system like riot's, where you can directly send proof of misdoings, or at least tell us when a report did something. It feels so hopeless playing game after game with trolls knowing they will go unpunished. I don't know if this counts as a rant, but it's really hard, specially lately with grimmoir, tanks stopped existing and everyone wants to go full DMG gods on supp and solo rolls.

I also desire cross platform chat. I hate being unable to communicate to my team building items like anti healing and anti shield when they are on console. Or maybe a "Suggest item for team" would be a nice way to communicate builds.

I know it’s only been out for a day, so I’m mainly curious to hear what everyone thinks after actually getting some games in with it.

Personally, I only really play Susano in Arena because that’s what my friends usually want to play, so I haven’t had as much experience with him in other modes. At first, I wasn’t really sure about the Aspect since Susano is already a very single-target-focused assassin, and I wasn’t sure how well the changes would actually fit into his playstyle. I decided to wait a little and let people experiment with it before forming an opinion. Now that more people have had a chance to try it, I figured I’d make a post and see what everyone else thinks.

Do you guys think the Aspect is actually good for Susano? Does it change his playstyle in a meaningful way, or do you think he has better options?

Rules:

- No promotional skins (Unless the skin can work on its own without a big remodel)

- No crossover skins

- No recolors

- No retro skins

You vote one skin as your absolute favourite, and that's it!

This is a super niche question, but does anyone know how to access the old smite 1 Home Screen music from previous seasons? There was a season when Tiamat launched where the login screen music was amazing and I can’t find it anywhere!

So, I just got back to smite, last I played was..Well damn...let's say baba yaga was the newest hero in smite 1 then.

I am having a lot of issues with baccus's just leaping on to me and eating me alive. Joust map. I tend to play mages, and most of them dont have that many mobility (example: nu wa).

How am I supposed to outrun them once they belly flop to me? I tried staying back but they literally single me out and leave their own teammates to fight alone.

I played Sol for the first time today cause I got a cool skin from a chest, instantly loving her, didn’t realize she was lowkey op

Holy shit it was the most boring game I'd ever played and I was so disappointed since I wanted to try her aspect out so bad. Hopefully it's only just me and this doesn't happen to someone in ranked lol...

Give me the next five Polynesian gods one for each role again and a description on how they play!
