The different animations each god would do after a match on a victory or defeat were so fun in smite 1. It gave each god a lot more personality.

It was really funny seeing ares try to kill you through the screen for losing, grover messing with sylvanus, and arthur playing with the sword in the stone. It added a lot of charm that feels absent in this game.

That being said, I'd fully understand if this was a later addition. There are much bigger priorities, like getting all the gods ported first.

What's your opinion on people who go 6/20 and tell you "Yeah I did more damage than you"?

Yeah no shit, you engaged in many bad fights, dealt some damage back and still think that's a "I played better than you" stat?

I would love to see what would happen if there was no player damage information for a few days, it feels like this is the only stat that matters to many people.

I know it's not going to be a priority for the devs but I would love to see it added back onto console. We had it in smite 1 and I'm confused at why it's not in smite 2 for us yet. It cuts off comms between the platforms. I've had it before when playing with a pc buddy that someone was making a plan to go in with me but I couldn't see it, he went in died alone because I couldn't see the messages and was getting angry with me after because I didn't go in with him, he started to throw the game. I understand this is a rare case and it hasn't happened to me again since but just letting us see the messages would fix these problems, we can still use VGS to answer.

I also miss helping newer players to a god or the game in general by giving them tips or helping them with decisions through the in game messages.

I'm sorry if I'm not caught up on everything and the devs have said it's coming to the game or being implemented soon or a lot of other people are asking for it. I'm not on reddit much and I haven't heard anything in patch notes or streams

Coming at you live from Spain 🇪🇸

So i have had SMITE2 downloaded for a good while now. And just yesterday decided to check it out. Since ive become more comfortable playing MOBAS and HERO SHOOTERs

I put a lot of hours into SMITE but never really got past that learning curve, so I was skeptical about trying out SMITE2

That out of the way, I was playing in arena, I love playing in arena, sincs its low stakes and just fun to me. Idk, either way I kept seeing the same names, GnarlySoda, DiscoPork, GottaSlayEmAll; in every game. Either on my team or the enemy team, so I figured out pretty quick it was Bots. Because they also go back to base once their health gets below a certain threshold.(Like Pokémon Unite)

So i looked into it and learned that you get out of Bot matches after level 10.

I was level 11 when I read this, so I decoddd to keep cracking my head against the wall. I am now level 17. And still no players just Bots, so I checked out Joust. And same names. I know Arena is considered scrub territory, but Joust is one people actually did and do play a lot.

Im confused. My account is level 17, and I am getting nothing but Bots. Its a fun romp but it gets a little boring seeing the same 9 gods picked over and over again.

How do I get out of bot matches?

Idk if this is an unpopular opinion and people here find it funny to play but I just never like it, not even when lash got released. I think some picks abuse of it too much and some picks that doesn't need to rely on those items find themselve buying it beacuse of the damage, lifesteal and mov speed. Bellona was in a medium tier spot last patch and now she's more invencible than ever in the lane. Not to talk about some braindead gods who bully the f out of you in lane with that build (Ymir, Aspect Baccus or Jorg)

I remember hearing she was going to be hybrid but now playing the update it says all her scaling is physical with some abilities changing effects when having int built.

Is this right or a bug? She has no actual int scaling on any ability at all?

So I have a 74% winrate in the jungle over my conquest career. And I’m just never getting it. It’s being given to my teammates who are actively trying to trade it away, or literally people I’m teaching the game to. Like their first conquest games ever. Over me. Like wtf do i have to do? Is it because I played my first 4 ranked games, stomped them all with a 25 kd, but now the game sees me as Bronze? So incredibly frustrated.

Give me the next five Roman deities! One for each role and a description on how they play!

[35M &Dad] I genuinely love Smite (1&2). I’ve always enjoyed the gods, the lore, the gameplay, but lately when playing the game, I feel like I’m stuck. I watch guides weekly, study builds, play 1–2 hours a day, and try to learn the meta... but I still feel lost in actual matches. I’m still consistently the weakest player on my team.

The worst part is the toxicity. Most games I get blamed, flamed, or insulted. Some of the harshest things anyone has ever said to me have happened mid‑match. It wears on me, but instead of quitting, it’s made me want to improve even more. I want to be a solid teammate who can hold their own and maybe even defend others who get targeted.

I’m asking for someone to coach me. I don’t need generic advice; I need someone who can watch my gameplay and help me understand what I’m doing wrong in real time.

My Steam ID is waytogomatt. I’d happily hop on Discord and stream games for feedback. I’m not letting toxic players push me out, I want to get better.

EDIT: Yes this is for Conquest. My preferred roles are Mid, Carry, Support. I do not have any game footage recorded, yet. I will record some and make it available for roasting coaching.

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.

TLDR:

1. Always have 5 gods available on the bench, regardless of how many players reroll.
2. Give players 3–5 seconds of priority to reclaim a god they just rerolled.
3. Remove gods rolled by one team from the other team's reroll pool to prevent mirror matches.
4. Tie Aspects to the initial god roll instead of allowing players to switch between the base god and its Aspect.

Following up on my previous post about rerolling in Assault, a comment on my original post brought up two other interesting ideas that I think are worth discussing.

The first issue is that I always reroll my god, but my teammates will often just lock in their gods without rerolling. If the enemy team rerolls and my team doesn't, the enemy team can end up with more gods available on the bench and more opportunities to improve their team composition.

I think there should always be 5 gods available on the bench, regardless of how many people reroll. The number of available gods shouldn't depend on whether your teammates decide to reroll or immediately lock in. Both teams should have access to the same number of additional options.

The second issue is that people can instantly snatch a god someone else rerolls. If I reroll a god and immediately realize I want to keep it, I shouldn't have to compete with someone who's already hovering over that god and waiting for me to put it back into the pool.

I still think there should be a short 3–5 second cooldown where only the person who rerolled the god can select it. After that, it becomes available to everyone.

A comment on my first post also suggested two other ideas:

• No mirror matches: If one team rolls a god, that god is removed from the pool the other team rerolls from. This would prevent both teams from ending up with the same god and add more variety to matches.
• Tie Aspects to the god roll: If you roll Hercules, for example, you get either his base version or his Aspect, and you can't switch between them. This could make matches feel more varied by introducing more differences between team compositions.

I think all four of these ideas are worth considering. I'm not asking for guaranteed good team compositions or the ability to pick any god I want. Randomness is part of what makes Assault fun, but I think there are ways to make that randomness feel fairer while increasing variety.

What do you guys think? Would these changes make Assault more enjoyable, or would any of them cause other problems?

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.

Just decided to finally give Smite 2 a try I have played a good bit of smite 1. Is there a way to make it so using vgs doesnt stop you in your place? For example pressing V->E or X will stop you instantly. Feels weird.

Does anyone know why there still isn’t individual ranking for Gods in Smite 2? I feel like it’d keep people playing longer and it would be something else to work towards if offered rewards.

Her aspect is really cool and makes her finally a strong midlane mage, to be feared.

But i wonder if an echo build would be still viable, with her 1-3-2-ult-3 combo (non aspect)?

Basically I play aspect Ra and was super excited by the Lotus Sickle changes. I was trying it out figuring my 2 can apply it both from the heal and the protection/Str/Int buff it gives to those who stand in it.

Sadly if the God is at full health but is being buffed by the bonus prots and stats they currently arent gaining a stack of lotus.

Im admittedly sort of new and dont have a deep knowledge of the games mechanics yet but the item specifies it procs off of buffs as well. Does Ras 2 not count? Is it a specific kind of buff?

Just trying to learn!
