Personally I'm mad about HOW many things actually cancel Arachne's 2, it's like... EVERYTHING, even the shit that isn't explained. No other God has a drawback like that to their attacks, so all I can think of is Sonya in Advanced Wars 1, where all she had the improved vision, but the drawback was her units had a chance to do less damage (on chance) from the already average stats they have, where you got CO's like Eagle taking 2 turns with his...
I think I'm potentially derailing discussion, so I'll stop there. Like she doesn't need a HUGE buff (maybe a bigger area or slow on the web, or reducing the cooldown of her 2 if you're knocked off prematurely), but she's currently the Evelynn or Twitch of SMITE, that is you can play her well, but people automatically expect the worse.

I wouldn't go that far, as I think despite the Ult being lackluster, the cooldown on it is very forgiving if you miss. My issue with 3 is, I'll launch it in the perfect trajectory, slow the target in the middle, but they'll still outrun me 90% of the time WITHOUT a dash or jump (although those certainly negate it plenty) it just seems kinda pointless, you know? I'm not saying to beef it up to Broodmother standards (Stealth, health regen, ms increase, enemy ms decrease, all that shit) Just, idaknow, make it more useful. Because of which, I've been using the web to escape more often than trap, if that's what it's supposed to be used for, then it's being done wrong.

I'd be okay with it, it's just I don't think that would address the major issues (which really aren't as bad as they seem, they're just noticeable)
The spiders are fine, they deal quite a bit, but they're incredibly easy to get rid of before they even hatch, so if you run into them, it's really your fault at that point.
I already Addressed the issue with her 2, it's just to easy to cancel, and as far as I know, no other God has a move that can be cancelled after casting.
Same with 3, it just needs to do something more than what it does.
Ult there's a lot of things they could do with it without making it too OP. You could adjust the stun a smidge by an extra .5 sec, apply poison damage upon retracting, the ability to go through walls (like blitzcrank). I'm okay if they leave it alone, though, I'm just making suggestions to improve it, because most of Arachne's damage actually comes from poison and spiders, not her 2 and ult (they're just very useful in variety of teamfight situations)

Well you know what I mean, I just use LoL comparisons because I've noticed as a tendency more people come from LoL than Dota to play smite.
Personally that's how I understand things with association, and easier it is to relate to, the better the concept is perceived.
I play LoL and Dota, so I'm really not trying to pick favorites, I'm making a guess as to which comparison people will understand better. But seeing as its more long range like Pudge's I guess that works too.

Fair enough, I mean it's like I said, it's not really a big source of damage for Arachne anyways (I think I've only killed maybe 2 or 3 people with it before pulling them in) so that would work out.

That's the issue exactly, I'm not expecting anything to change, this is just speculation and discussion, which is in my opinion something that's still good to talk about in these Generals, I just wish gamers and their designers had a better relationship these days so that input and output would be better coordinated.

I don't believe so. Ideally, you wind up playing enough games to the point where you're not playing constantly with retards like those, at which point team chat is actually very useful.

And yeah, there's no helping some people. Just know yourself that accurate information doesn't get people killed. I'd rather get mia spam all game (assuming they're actually in and out that much) than none at all. Of course, I try to keep an eye on all parts of the map. I'm too used to people not calling missing laners, so it's second-nature to have one eye on the map at all times now.

Speak of the devil, I was just joking about how they would implement a teleport through a champion ult in the near future, then they pantheon'd me.
He honestly doesn't look OP from the video, he just looks very VERY useful given the right team, especially coordinating that fissure and Ult. I wouldn't be surprised if he made meta, but he just looks like a fun champ with a lot to offer, rather than the usual AD carry that's just damage 1, damage 2, damage 3, damage ult.
I think I'll pass in the meantime until I get a status report of how well he does in games, I'm already pretty content with Arachne, Ao, and Bastet as my purchased gods (if I need to tank, I just go Ymir, not that I enjoy tanking)

I never did either, I still play all three, and although it's the easiest to me, I find SMITE the funnest, because I actually know how to skillshot and control jungle from what I learned in Dota, everything else is just easy. LoL has some aesthetics I like, pluss not every character is a paragon of themselves, if that makes sense (once in awhile they do surprise me with innovating game mechanics with champs like Riven, Rengar, and Lee Sin, I'm not about to say they have BETTER design, but every once in awhile after sifting through tanky dps after tanky dps, you do get something unique, usually not tournament worthy, but unique) Obviously Dota has a lot of that going for it too, sometimes they overdo it, if you've read my Witch Doctor vs Rubick Story, then you know what I'm talking about. Plus everything "feels" faster and more realtime then the other two, I mean attack animations are very clear and responsive, you cant actually attack while retreating, etc.
I like them all for different reasons, it's the only reason I got into Diablo II was the duels, and these games remind me very much of the fun I had back then and refine the process.

I just want to know what changed, in regards to the buff locations. Like... did they just move the buff camps around? Did they restructure the jungle to accommodate the change? What exactly happened here?
The buff locations made sense to me. I can't really think of a way to change the locations around and still have them make sense, unless they're swapping the cooldown and mana regen buffs. Even then, I don't think that's necessary.

>Can't hear enemies in Jungle
Fuck, I rely on that a lot counterjungling as Arachne, that way I could know WHICH buff they're trying to steal. Maybe, and this is a longshot, because this is Hi-Rez logic here, but maybe they want to push towards visual aid in jungles and see more people getting wards (I highly doubt that's the reason, but if people do as a result, also unlikely, it will be worth it) Guan Yu was fine before the nerf, I never really saw him any more of a threat than any other AD melee, why they nerfed him is beyond me.
To be perfectly honest, most of the time I would just take buffs in a straight line, starting with mana first, and maybe the combination of Mana, speed, and cooldown in the same general area was an area of concern, once again, I doubt it though. It's not really going to change my jungle path though, I'm just going to recieve different buffs. Hell, I'm more interested in the gold and xp anyways (stacks too for their respective items) So I'm really not sure what they were trying to do there.
Which items did you have in mind with addressing? The only one I see issue with is the permastacks one. I really wish they just limited HotG to one target like Arachne's 2 (and the same attack area too) then there would be no need for the price increase. Also, you'd have to pick your targets out carefully, ideally the ones with buffs attached, and not just to clear a wave to be lazy.

>Why did the buff locations change?
This is an asinine explanation but I think it has to do with putting a higher priority on the inner jungle near mid) over the outer jungle (left and right extremes) and to make ganking a lot harder or easier as a result (I need to test it out to see how it plays, but I think it has something to do with mid) and to lower the sustain value of the extremes for mid. I foresee a lot more mids grabbing the buffs than junglers to keep in lane longer.
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm just trying to make sense of it.

I've gotten similar to this error before.
Though in my experience, you can't enter a game without selecting a God. It'll immediately dissolve the party and you get deserter status.
As for the error, I had the same img. thing happen on Ao Kuang I think. I couldn't attack at all and I had no skills whatsoever. My most frequent glitch is 0 gold on spawn. I have to wait for the match to actually begin for it to show up.

I finally figured out where keys are located. In the event someone passes by and wants to play the game, come and pick one up before they're out:
F10CC-AEC78-CDDC4-91A9F-556C8
F16E2-228A4-F62E4-A3581-85755
F190E-05D39-E4064-FECAA-F9305
If my friend has no use for his keys, I'll dump them here, too.
If none of them work, post an e-mail address and as soon as I see your post, I'll sign into the game and get you invited via that process.
I'm curious - do we periodically get more keys? Or will it just be 3 per account?

Hmm, defensive buffs in the inner jungle, eh? Jungling certainly appears to be much riskier, now that both side and mid lane are equidistant from what I'd consider to be the most important earlier buffs.

I'm not too happy about that change, either - I, too, relied on it quite a bit. It made sense to do so, too, considering the limited field of view.
But, if the game changes, then the players have to change, too. I suppose wards are going to be much more common now. A cash sink, sure, but you have to decide what's more important - keeping a jungler at a lower risk, or getting stats up faster.

4 out of the 5 starting gods are amazing and almost essential to the game.
And then when you get out of the noob queue, you'll have enough favor to buy one or two gods, then it's just a matter of choosing Ao/Baka/Cupid/Anhur/Vamana/Hel/Odin/Sobek (which ever one fits your playstyle the best)

Yeah, that doesn't count as pay to win, not with 4 of the 5 beginning Gods being viable in competitive play, having money to get those gods QUICKER is like doing the same TF2, it doesn't matter if you don't know the basics which you learn from grinding games to get that new god.
Hell, some sap I know bought the 30 god pack and he has over 50k favor he can't spend because of it. Plus you don't really know the community very well if you assume just because you own a certain god your more likely to win. Example, almost every game I played and had a Thor on my team was a death sentence to lose.
Now if the situation was like in LoL where Runes give you an actual IN GAME advantage over your opponent and you can obtain them faster at earlier levels for buying IP boosts, which anyone will tell you is retarded anyways and your victories become hollow and pointless, then yes, it is P2W, but only until you reach the max level, then the playing field evens out and that argument doesn't fly anymore.
SMITE doesn't have that feature, you only buy a new god as a matter of preference. I had to pay 5500 favor for Arachne who's already considered underpowered by many, and still win consistently compared to someone who only had to grind to level 6 to get Ao or Bastet. So yeah, favor price =/= free wins, you obviously haven't played the game, so your argument is invalid.

I start off with HotG, it's contrived, but it works, especially when you're stealing a blue AND green buff in the first few seconds after the game starts (stack spider eggs in blue, then move to green, drop an egg there, to lure them away from you, then HotG them)
Hold off on devourer's gloves if you aren't doing well (do it if you're snowballing), otherwise in the item it takes to get the farm for the stacks you could have bought a different item, finish your boots first, it's already hard enough as Arachne to catch up to anyone, even with orange buff. If you're snowballing like I said, go for it, but otherwise save if for 3rd or 4th item.
I actually go Soul Eater 2nd to help my lane and myself, plus the lifesteal will help you stay in lane/jungle longer to make up the difference.
FBH is a must to make up for not having a dash.
Qin's blades if they're stacking armor, deathbringer otherwise you don't need both. Build more crit if you're doing deathbringer.
Fatalis isn't necessary, the CD and AS sound tempting, but you get CD from taking white, and you don't really need to attack much faster than 1.2/s to take full advantage of your poison, plus there's going to be a LOT of opponents escaping you, so you should rely more on your abilities.
Keep in mind, your ALLY is going to be doing more damage then you when you Ult so that's something you need to plan for (sometimes I can solo it, but in general they escape it pretty easily)

There's nearly no mitigation or repercussions for when it does happen. I can understand if it's like 50 minutes in, you're getting raped because of dumbass teammates, and they won't surrender because they think they can win, so you just leave, but most of the time it's within the first 5 minutes, if you're gonna rage quit do it with class, if you had something to do, WHY DID YOU START THE GAME? If you lost your internet, you REALLY shouldn't be playing a game like this, although it's not within my rights to tell you different.
Sometimes it works to your advantage though. We had a a leaver, right within the first blood (it was an artemis that left) and Sobek was left to defend right. Because he was getting the extra farm and the enemy was getting overconfident in turret dives, he was fucking them up every which way. By the time he got their turret, he was already 9/0. And we joked about how Artemis probably would have fed anyways. But we won 4 v 5, nonetheless.
Those games feel more like you won than any other kind, it's weird. It's still something you shouldn't have to deal with.
It sounds unfair, but if a player leaves for a long enough time, they should force the "weakest" player (I'm not sure how it would be defined) to sit out until they come back. I really don't think it would work the way I imagine it though.
Another option is to have a computer control it, but that raises the same issues, practice over theory

It's harder to aim than I thought, refer to >>13513923 for what I mean. I mean I wasn't expecting it to be easy but, it's really hard to land, because usually by the time you find your target, aim at them, land, they either moved or juked the other direction. If you use it like a teleport to teamfights though, it's perfect, and it's a great way to initiate.

Fucking awesome, thanks a lot. One thing though... Do I really need Soul Eater with fully stacked gloves? I'd rather have the cd reduction from Fatalis.
57 hours later 13521835 Anonymous
>>13520647
No, if you pull off gloves early on, that's all the lifesteal you'll ever need, unless you really want to solo Gold Fury or Fire Giant. It's particularly hard to snowball with Arachne though, so that's why I settle for soul eater, plus my lanemate gets the benefits of it. Yeah I know, I DO jungle on the side, but I don't jungle full time in smite, just in the beginning, between waves, and when I know the enemy is retreating so I can pick it up unhindered, I still stay close to a lane though, and when you pull off your Ult, who's more likely to get hits in, you or your ally? That's why I buy soul eater, so they can take advantage of that.
Inb4 they're too retarded to take advantage of it... well that's actually a good assessment, but being able to pick up assists just by being near and supporting your team is a big bonus too.
I personally do not like running fatalis. Do not let my assessment of using it or not using differ you one way or another. I just prefer to have armor penetration and raw damage over it early to mid game, and like I said, the white buff's a lot easier to pick up now, so I use that for CD reduction. One last thing is, Arachne's abilities don't take long to cooldown anyways, the only one I can see a need to spam quickly is spiders, everything else is usually on stand by until then. I KNOW Arachne's not supposed to be a TONSODAMAGE AD melee, so I can understand why would be inclined to take the utility Fatalis provides over the damage. But I personally don't like fatalis and generally see a trend in players who buy fatalis and end up losing too (this is a VERY broad speculation, and probably doesn't apply to anyone in the thread, but again, I already said it was more of a personal thing)
If it ain't broke use it. I don't though, and I seem to usually do fine.

I didn't really get MOBAs before. I wanted to learn them but the learning curve was just too high for a lazy man such as myself.
But smite is so simple I was able to jump right into it and now I actually understand the MOBA model, the terminology and the basics of gameplay.
I've got dota 2 installed and will jump there in a week or two, I can already see smite wont have the depth I want in a game, but it did serve as a good introductory title to the genre.
So to anyone new to MOBAs, try Smite first if you don't want to jump into the deep end all at once.

Mages probably keep trying to take control of the middle area when they should be playing passively near their tower. That, or they're missing left and right with their skillshots, and are being left vulnerable.
It makes no sense to me other than the fact Kali has a heal, and even then, you got a melee champ against a probably ranged one, what's the big issue with using a ranged mage?
I'm more inclined to believe SMITE people are actually that retarded. No offense to you or your Kali abilities, which I'm sure you are as good as you say you are, but I can't make any sense of it.
That would be like seeing Rengar mid in LoL... I don't know if that actually flies now that I think about it...

SMITE's actually the best start you can get. It's simple, it introduces all the basics, teaches you skillshots, jungling, learning which items compliment your God architype.
However, then I'd move on to LoL once you get that situated, if you still find yourself bored, Dota2 is what I consider the big leagues.
There's nothing wrong with playing an "easier" or "harder" game, play whichever one you feel comfortable. Don't let words like "casual" dissuade you from playing the one you enjoy the most.
Personally, I like all three equally for different reasons.

Ah fair enough, I was taking smurfing into account when making that assessment, along with level based unlockables (like smite and flash) and runes and all that shit. But because you see things in a radii, it does make it easier to see ganks coming. The only thing I'll say in SMITE's defense is, they DO allow mobility in those situations with most Gods having a dash or jump.

Again, most gods that are an extreme nuke of doom (hobo for example) don't have a dash per-se have something similar and have a drawback, hobo being he needs to get on almost melee for is 1 and that his way to run is really predicable and easy to kill him.
Now let's go to Agni, agni can and will blow you up if you eat his extremely obvious trap, also if you don't eat it and stay out of his bombs, he's a baby.

this is pretty much the case, they're busy trying to push the mid instead of aiming to destroy me
in the case that they do try to attack me (artemis and one anubis did at one point), I run into a little trouble until I can get my ult
my basic strategy is to grab reinforced boots, meditation, and 5 pots, level siphon blood first (for your oh shit button if you mess up level 1 or something), then wait till level 3 when you have level 2 whiplash thing, then every opportunity you get, smack them with it, this'll knock their hp down enough for you to kill once you get your ult (sometimes you can just throw another whiplash if they're dumb enough not to recall

WELL TJERE'S YOUR FIRST PROBLEM. No seriously, as odd as it might seem, it doesnt work or reel in the manticore, you need to practice it on players to get the full effect. Which I think is retarded, especially considering the whole idea of practice mode is to SHOWCASE what certain champs do.
It's just a pain the ass to aim, you really need to use it against mages trying to aim or during the confusion in teamfights. Also it goes a little bit further than it's indicated range, just to let you know.

>tfw finally seeing a good Hades in action.
Dude was solo-laning with an Arachne jungling and he kept getting double kills without any help against Thor and somebody else. We were going 4v5 (our own Thor left after like.. three minutes) and ended up winning. Somehow, none of our lanes lost, despite the two sidelanes being 2v1 solos.
The other team was just bad, but still.. Easily the best Hades I've seen so far.
Now I just need to see a good Thor. I've only seen one out of the dozen-ish I've seen over the past two days; the rest are garbage. I know he's new, but his mechanics aren't that complex.. so I'm not quite sure why people are so fucking bad with him. Like 2 out of 10 Thors manage to break even, all the others go hard into the negatives.
90 hours later 13614674 JT
>>13614064
People are bad with Thor because, frankly, he's a terrible character. His skills have horrible damage scaling aside from his ult, which has a horribly long cooldown.
His first skill is fairly powerful on the return, but can't kill minions, which makes it a real pain for Thor to get level ups. His second skill is pure utility, yet is worse than both Ymir's and Anhur's terrain effects. His third skill is complete garbage. His ult is awesome but isn't all that difficult to counter. It's great at destroying enemies that are running away though.
His moves in of themselves are alright, but they need a bit of a damage increase. However, believe me, I am extremely glad they released Thor as a balanced or underpowered God rather than continuing their trend of releasing broken fuckshits.

A bro and I play together and use Skype. I generally play Anhur while he plays Sobek or Ao Kuang.
To be honest, Anhur and Ao Kuang in the same lane (if one of us isn't thrown into mid) is fucking absurd. The creep waves disappear, and the amount of harass and kill potential you have is absurd.
I'd like to do Hades/Zeus or Ymir/Zeus because I've seen the latter in action once and they ripped all sorts of ass with their duo ultis.
I wish there were more good Hades though. He's such a fucking solid hero when played properly. I've been seeing a LOT more Odins though, which I'm happy about. At least he's sort of decent now.

Yeah, at this rate, you'll be lucky to reach another god release by october, not even LoL takes this much time to release a new champ, and they're already in the Alpha, they're not obligated to release shit at that point (technically).
They need to get some of their admins ACTUALLY playing the game to make informed decisions for game balance and the like, I get the feeling a good number of them don't even test it anymore and with 600,000+ people to do your job for you, why not?)
But I probably sound like I'm raging, even though it's "beta" they could be working a lot harder. Keep in mind TOR was a beta at some point, people said the issues would be fixed at some point, and it sank at some point, so the excuse "it's just a beta" doesn't fly anymore.

Whoops, wrong greek notation (alpha is the game before beta where they're still testing to see if the game mechanics work, never mind if they're balanced). Which is the one after beta for a game's release? I don't think they call them Gammas, so whatever symbol is used for a game after release, that's the one I'm talking about with LoL.

that's how it is usually, if you aren't a tank, who needs defense? It detracts from your offensive potential... some people think.
Also, it's kind of tough sometimes, like you'll see 4 out of 5 physical guys, but the ONE person you keep dying to is the mage with spell damage. Then when you factor in teamfights and what you're more likely to get killed by, most people settle for Leviathan Cape, and I don't blame them. Not in this case though, come on, no magic = LOTS of autoattacking, BUY SOME FUCKING DEFENSE.

I had the opposite kind of game today, I was midding against He-Bo as Ao. There was no contest, I fucking won that lane from the first creep wave I cleared (I don't like to be this cocky usually, but there's games where you play Ao and you're just like, "I got this tower" before you even see the first creep wave) and the best part was no one was contesting me, there would be waves where no one was there and I was just building stacks on doom orb and warlock sash. We won that game, and some of the guys asked me to be their mid again. I was against Hel, rinse and repeat. Took even less time because Hel can't push for shit (compared to Ao, anyways) and that's fine, she's not supposed to be a pusher, but our Hel was being a lot more useful laning instead of trying to compete mid like the enemy was. When you have an AoE heal, use it on someone else every once in awhile.
Do people REALLY not know how to counter Ao, or are they just afraid as hell of his pushing power. I think there was at most 2 failed ganks (one of which was because I was overextending but I had both yellow buffs) done to me that entire game.
But play Ao mid, guaranteed you'll win your lane at the very least, however if your other lanes are sucktastic, you can still lose, so call ss and shit when needed.

I don't think there is a way to counter Ao mid other than constantly ganking his shit or playing Ra (who pushes as well as Ao). Neither He Bo nor Hel can push anywhere near as well as Ao until they get some levels. Ao can decimate an entire minion wave at level 1 with one tornado. Who can compete with that really? The only way to combat Ao is to play Ao or Ra or to get in a lot of ganks.

Just went 5-0-6 in a game where two people on my team called me shit, complained that I got them killed, said I sucked and basically harassed me the entire game.
5 kills, 6 assists isn't stellar, I'll admit, but I certainly didn't get them killed. I was playing Odin and came too late or something to a teamfight, which made them BAWWWW the entire rest of the game. One of them was Anubis who started with fucking warrior tabi. And every time I wanted to do fire giant they thought it was a bad idea when the enemy had taken losses.
I was building dps Odin and they complained that I was a tank and it was my job to take hits and die for them or something, as if this is Final Fantasy Tactics and I can just soak up every hit that comes to them with some skill.
We won but I have never played with such faggots in my life. I would rather be on a team with leavers and feeders.

I wouldn't even say it's final fantasy tactics, because even the melee can't soak up that much and expect to die for the team. Especially if you have teleport or if you're a Gria, you're generally going to want the enemy to come to you... unless it's some asshole illusionist spamming his target all skills. Then again this all depends which generation of tactics we're talking about, if it's advanced, then you probably just have a team of assassins anyways, or if it's ffta2, a shitload of mirror item/item lore seeq rangers.
The point is, even in tactics, you aren't expected to do that, and you have absolute control of your team.
There's a reason solo queue is called 1v9, and don't even get me started on people bitching about kill steals (as if it fucking matters, you share a good portion of the gold for an assist anyways)

Oh christ, the kill steal whining. This is the other thing I hate. When I weaken something and somebody else kills it, I'm generally glad that we got the kill. But everybody else? If you help them with getting a kill everything's fine. But if you get the last hit, they will fucking whine forever. And if they fight somebody, die, and then you finish the enemy off, they will scream at you for the entire rest of the match, as if their initial hits on an enemy god marked that god's head for them and them alone. You finishing off the enemy god is a goddamn travesty! How dare you support the team! I also remember some idiot Ao Kuang complaining that MagicSonGoku was ksing because "ao kuang is useless unless he gets kills." Jesus fucking christ.
My Final Fantasy Tactics statement was just because people seem to think that tanks can just magically sponge damage other characters take, ala a Paladin using Cover . The only way to do that with Smite is to body block (which I do occasionally do). Otherwise it's not like being a tank enables me to simply take damage for my allies. If you die, it's generally your fault. But of course everybody has to whine when they die and blame literally everybody else but themselves.
I agree that solo queue is 1 v 9 a lot of the time.

I body blocked once to save a Ao Kuang, unlike your expectations, he actually thanked me.
This is my general attitude towards Kill steals, when someone does it to me, I laugh it off, maybe type" OMG KS" followed by "jk, good job" or "keep it up". I would rather have a teammate help secure me a kill than try to go it alone, it's just too risky in SMITE, especially when I main Arachne. Another thing too, no matter how many kills someone gets, you can make the same amount of gold and XP just by farming/jungling and keeping awareness over said lanes, so it's naturally not a big deal. Another thing too, if a mage wants a mana or cooldown buff (which is actually rare) of course I give it to them, half the time I just want the gold and xp, not to mention ganking too (yeah that's another thing, when people EXPECT you to gank, and never give and indication of when they're ready to take advantage of it, and then bitch you out when you assume they're all set)
As a mid in particular, I never "ask" for ganks. People got their own shit they need to take care of in lane, I need to be self-sufficient to take care of myself too. When they do however, I always thank them, even if they fail, I just say "gt," or "next time" (which trust me, there will ALWAYS be more chances to kill someone in this game if you happen to miss ONE, just pick and choose which ones you take on accordingly)
Anyone that told you Ao Kuang needs kills to work should uninstall.exe in strongest way possible. Anyone that's played him knows all his gold comes from farming, SOMETIMES he'll pick up more kills than he wants to because of his damage over time tornado, but you almost NEVER get kills even if you're playing smart (which is fine, because he's better in teamfights and taking jungle anyways)

Dude, of course I know this. Not only have I played him, I've encountered Ao Kuang in plenty of games. He murders minion waves and levels up insanely fast, even if he doesn't kill any gods whatsoever.

I agree with you for the most part. Then again, there's certain situations where I whine (but not in chat). If I engage an enemy, and weaken them by myself, and am one hit away from killing them, and an ally suddenly shows up to kill them before I can, then I usually get mad. As Ao, I tornado'd, ulted, and was a squall away from killing a He Bo when someone ran up and killed him in one hit. My squall was literally a second or less away from killing him anyway. It was the only time I can remember going, "REALLY? I DON'T USUALLY COMPLAIN BUT COME THE FUCK ON!"
If another player sits back while I take damage and deal damage, only to finish off the enemy god AFTER I've died, then yes I'll fume about that too. It's happened once or twice. Same thing if an ally doesn't save me, or doesn't call MIA (consistently) and I get ganked. Cause by that point, I'm feeding and don't have the gold to buy better gear.
As a tank, I'll generally try and body block to save an ally. Nothing more infuriating than when they don't recall and get themselves (and myself) killed regardless.

Man, this reminds me of the time when (as Ao) our team's Ymir locked the entire enemy team into the FG's volcano with his ice wall, and I used my ult. Scored a quatra kill AND stole the buff. Good times.

Yeah, characters with terrain changers fuck up the most (or on the largest scale) which I understand isn't always easiest to aim, but come on, it's still something they need to practice before they use against an enemy team.
As for KS again, I always assume the best in those situations. Even if it's incredibly evident they were just hanging around to take the kill after I died, I try to give them the benefit of the doubt, they were trying to get a shot in but weren't close enough or had enough time to aim. Think of it like this, maybe they DID go out of their way to steal the kill, but they still picked it up, it's better than them just letting it go, or even better yet, chasing them until they run into the enemy team. But I rarely have proof or evidence to suggest they've gone out their way to do that, and Occam's razor my way to believing they simply weren't able to finish the job while I was alive. I pick and choose which fights I become a part of carefully because of this, so it's not really an issue to me. Hell, I'm always more about tower pushing than enemy killing any day, if the two intervene and I got some allies on standby, you bet your ass I'll go out of my way to gank. But an assist is fine too, so long as we're ahead.
Some people too don't realize they're "stealing" kills though, I'm more inclined to think they did unconsciously than going out their way to fuck me over. None of these speculations are safe of course, I know the community as well as anyone else here. It just does you no good to be thinking negatively in game and constantly arguing. If and argument breaks out, espeically over KS, I just tell them to "Let it go", offer to help them get a kill, or insist we're still winning (which we usually are actually tower-wise anyways) Usually it diffuses the situation, not always though.

I only get mad if I could have gotten the kill by myself, and with ease. If the guy is running and I have to catch up, then I'm happy for any help. If I've got it covered though, then...
I don't usually get into arguments. I only ever argue with people who are being retarded on purpose.

I FUCKING LOVE IT when my teammate helps me whittle down an enemy, and stands there (blocking their retreat) to let me get the kill. Especially if I'm jungling and he's helping me get xp/gold or returning the favour for an earlier gank/assist. Makes me all mushy inside. :3c

That said, why did SMITE of all change your opinion of LoL. Technically SMITE is easier and the item system boils down to 6 things people build (not to mention simpler mechanically, you aren't going to see any Lee Sin type characters in the future), if anything, I would have thought it was the other way around.

I do actually, it just doesn't fit the artstyle of the game so far before he was introduced, and as vain as it seems, aesthetics and theming play a HUGE role in my perception of the game (it's one of the reasons I can overlook OoT's shortcomings, because they have a really good set of "elemental" temples that are themed appropriately. Same for games like Secret of Mana too)
But anyways, this has nothing to do with those two games, this is about SMITE. And before cupid it actually had a pretty solid theme, save wukong (who compared to Cupid, still fits the artstyle better) I'm not saying all Gods have to be grimdark or superhuman looking, hell that would defeat the purpose. But if you to look at the bigger picture of the other gods and creeps, he just doesn't fit in.
That's my reason for getting rump ravaged when someone brings up cupid, I don't know about everyone else. The champ itself isn't bad, burst heal and a dash along with AoE stun are always welcome assets to a team.
>>14044009
It's a good and bad thing, basically there isn't enough people who are competent enough at the game to play ranked, and ones that do consistently win or lose and stay in their bracket. I would have to give it a year before it starts to really change. If they offered better incentives for playing ranked, like LoL (skins, title, etc.) you'd probably see more people, but as it is, there's very little at stake.

I wouldn't say "dead" just yet, but they better haul ass if they expect to keep people interested. Hell LoL's been out for almost 2 years, and they're STILL pumping out changes and characters faster than SMITE (you'd think because they already have themselves established, there would be no need to update as frequently and keep people interested, but it's actually the opposite, and SMITE's the one that really needs to exert themselves if they expect to stay afloat)
And it's a real shame too, I really think they were on to something trying the 3rd person perspective and the Mythological theme. But the really need to "step it up", for the lack of a better colloquial, if they expect to still be alive in the next few months... then again Hi-Rez is probably convinced they've already made their money (which I doubt), time to move on the next thing.

I've been wondering, and this is probably rather silly, but are ALL basic attacks physical in nature? Like for example, I know Guan Yu does magic damage with his skills, but does his basic attack do physical damage? Better example: Anubis. He gains physical power as he levels. Why is that? That's for his basic attacks right? Or are they magic based as well? What's the deal with Ao? Do balls of wind do physical or magical damage?
253 hours later 14074606 Anonymous

I assume that's the case, it could be like in LoL where 50% of your AP is converted to AD to deal additional AA damage, but I honestly don't know.
It's really not a silly question, I've been thinking the same thing since I started playing, I DO know however, there's dominant abilities that modify damage done with abilities.
Besides certain champions not making sense with their dominant trait (like Wisp being a strength hero, not intelligence) Dota2 actually has the most straightforward system for AA damage, that ANY champ can be threat with their autoattacks (and it actually becomes a very important mechanic in addition to abilities for mages especially)
But as far as I know, phys = autoattack damage, and abilities with damage highlighted in orange.
Magic = Abilities highlighted in green (and a certain percentage counts towards autoattacks, my basis for which is that I noticed an increase in autoattack damage at level 20 as Ao Kuang when I had full stacks on Doom Orb as oppose to not, but the exact percentage I'm not sure of)

Adapt accordingly, there's hp/5 regen items that focus on phys defense others on magic defense. Some slow down attack speed, or reduce the enemies defenses just being near you.
Thebe's gauntlets are okay, I wouldn't rush them though (it's kinda hard to snowball the gold for them, unless you're taking jungle or ganking like hell) Stone of Gaia's good if you aren't pulling in as much gold later game when you have more hp. Hide of Leviathan's very popular if you can't choose which defense you need, Midgardian Mail synergizes REALLY well with his Ult. Hide of the Nemian Lion if they have 3+ phys attackers, or if they have 2 that are really fed, but no less than 2, otherwise it's useless. Mystical Mark synergizes with your ult, making it a LOT more deadly for them to focus you. Magi's blessing is amazing against combo dependent champs like He Bo or Anubis.
You could also build auras for a supportish kinda build like sovereignty and heavenly agility.
Again, as the tank, it's your responsibility to read the enemy builds and build DEFENSES accordingly to be as effective at your role as possible. That's why you really need to have map and game awareness to tank.

No, that's true, but that's my point, you think because they CAN try new shit and what not before the game's release, it would be more prudent to take bigger chances, or hell, at least keep the players informed.
Also simple things too, like idaknow, FIXING the fucking text when you enter a mana camp to be a MANA camp (it's still reading as speed camp)

Trust him on this one, I also run Doom Orb Ao Kuang. What I do is start with lvl 2 doom orb, some potions, and usually I can stay in lane long enough to buy lvl 3 on the first trip. Considering how fast and easy it is to clear minions, doom orb gets stacks super fast (even if you die) but it ties you over magic/mana wise until you can afford your next item which SHOULD be Warlock's sash (same reason as doom orb) or Gem of Isolation. You buy the rod of tahiti last (or 5th) when it can benefit the most from the 30% increase.
Think about it, let's say you rush it early on, and you're only pulling 150 magic power, 30% of that's only 50 additional magic power. Now let's say you wait later on when you have 320 or so, that's about 106 additional magic power you get from it, that's more than double if you were to buy the item early on. You notice a bigger difference the later you buy it, and in the meantime, you'll already be compensating with more mana and magic power.
Trust yourself with doom orb, if you can't just go sash, but it's almost NECESSARY to build a stacks item just from how fast Ao Kuang wrecks shit up.
Don't be afraid to build some defense a little later on too (you're a nuke, but not as fragile as Agni or He-Bo, but you lack a real dash, that it can really bite you in the ass if you don't)
Level up slither at level 3 or 4, then save if for last, you really only need one level to escape or initiate on a mid.

When would you really need speed that early when you have slither do that for you? Also, you shouldn't be overextending past the middle past the "gank line" where gankers can get you from the jungler. It makes no difference if you tornado minions at that start of a creep wave or at your tower, they die just as fast and yield just as much gold (provided the turret doesn't last hit) That's a huge problem I see with a lot of opponent Ao Kuangs, they overextend like hell, and calling in a gank is a sinch (or performing one if I'm in lane) Ao's 'escape' is used to make the distance back to your tower, if the enemies pushing hard, or closing in for an ambush. Given, if you can pick up a kill go for it, but playing passive as Ao mid is crucial to winning your lane.
Hell I played an Ao mid with 3 deaths by an Anubis (watch out for him as Ao or learn to dodge his mummy wrap, he murders you like it's nothing) at the 7 minute mark, but he could never push the tower, so I still ended up winning my lane (as I eventually took the tower after it) while keeping mine up until the 25 minute mark, where his whole team just rushed it anyways.
Aim for minions, not players (Ao's attacks are so easily broadcasted, ANYONE with a brain can dodge them), if you can hit both, that's even better.

Also did HE know he was invisible, did you ask him after the game or talk to his teammates?
It sounds like you either need to submit this as a bug, or report the player for file tampering (or whatever would produce this effect)

Welcome to every Odin player ever. Fuck your buff, you're trapped in here with me, makes my job easier. It's especially hilarious when they trap someone with a limited range ult like Ao Kuang or Ymir, and just watch their last few minutes of life leave from the arena. Smart Odins (thought few) trap, and have someone like Cupid or Agni use their ult from outside the arena to guarantee a hit. challenging someone 1 on 1 with it is 9/10 times suicide.

It's more so, NO ONE can use it right than the fact he sucks. I will be willing to admit he's probably a little underpowered too, but whenever there's a God with a terrain effect, that's just setting most players up for failure, I mean look at Odin and Ymir players and think about how many times they fucked up a wall or ult. It's kinda like that, it's the same for Anivia players in LoL as well. You either use it right, or never at all, because of the nature of it, there's no in between for success.
Plus so many things can go wrong like with what >>13927730 said about a Ymir player who did exactly that. Also Ao's Ult was stealing fire giant or removing the competition (It's such a small space, the tornado and ult fit PERFECTLY to hit everything in sight)

>>14162454
I really think the only thing that needs to be fixed about Thor is buff his 3. The wall he has is just crappy and the radius which it slows when he uses it is small. His hammer needs to be fixed because it has this random percentage to actually hit or just act like nothing was standing there. Actually used it on stationary targets and there was almost a 50% chance of it to not even work. Also without a true escape except for his ult he's a sitting duck in any lane. If you have a wukong jump over a wall at you and your lane partner can't deal enough damage or CC him, you're pretty fucked.
Just think he needs a bit of tweaking. He's fun otherwise.

1v1ing someone with Odin ult is not suicide, you get at least 5k gold in stats at max level in that thing. Also, he can take that wall down any time he wants by hitting the button again, so a failed Odin circle isn't even half as bad as a failed Ymir or Thor wall.
Also Odin/Zeus lane for ultimate terror.

>>14172161
Some people bitch about him, but like most instances with every hero, a lot of the complaints are coming from people who don't know what the fuck they're doing. He's a solid hero who can really provide a lot of punch in a team fight, but he can be countered just as easily. Fairly balanced, a bit on the strong side like most physical carries with any sort of decent stat scaling.

>Again, as the tank, it's your responsibility to read the enemy builds and build DEFENSES accordingly to be as effective at your role as possible. That's why you really need to have map and game awareness to tank.
I like how you point this out. It's extremely important for people who want to tank.
Tanks are the ones who initiate, not the killers. Well except Guan Yu and arguably Vamana. They are special cases. Guan Yu got nerfed twice and he's still very strong.
Anyways, I just had a game as Vamana where I literally carried my team all the way from victory.
I decide to actually go for a health build because I saw this Ymir go for one a few games back adn he did very well so I decided instead of my usual all offense build I did this.
Needless to say I went 18 kills and 0 deaths and god knows how many assist. I laughed at every attempt for them to try and kill me. They used all of their offenses and even had Anubis the DPS Queen and they couldn't even manage to bring me to half health. They pretty much did everything in their power to try and cripple me and they just couldn't
so let me tell you this. If Vamana could use abilities/skills in Big Baby Mode, he would LITERALLY be broken.

How the hell are you supposed to build Sobek? Just generic tank like Ymir and Odin? Or should you actually try to beef up your skills with magic?
293 hours later 14193719 Anonymous
>>14193105
Sobek isn't a killer, he's more of an initiator and distraction because 3 out of his 4 skills pretty much set up so his team can rape the other team. The other skill is to just heal up and be even more of an annoyance.
You can build some in magic to get rid of that "oh he survived by 10 hp bullshit" but mostly in defense because Sobek is such a disruptor, you can't "ignore" him like you can Vamana
Unless you are playing against bads, don't expect to get a ton of kills and like a billion assists.

Mostly as a tank, I'd think. Something like Gem of Isolation would be good, as it gives +MP, +HP, +Mana and a slow on ability hit. Charge in, flip, spin, etc and you'll keep them slowed so your carry can wreck their asshole.
Otherwise, probably build tanky and change it up to suit your team comp and their team comp.

Couldn't tell you. I personally don't care about KSing in Smite. As long as the enemy dies, I'm good. If I get the kill, cool. If I don't, whatever.
I was just like "lolwut" when he accused me of ks'ing like that one kill was really going to change him from a shitbird of a player into a gamechanger.
Pretty sure I was playing with a Zeus from /vg/ though, because he dropped a "I know that feel" when I explained our Ymir (who I had on Skype) only dc'd because of his net, not because he was abandoning the game.

Is it just me or are the players getting even shittier? More and more often I'm being kicked out of matches because the 10th guy has left the lobby (before we get to God selection I mean), and today I was plagued by what can only be described as your typical 12 year old. While good grammar is a rare sight online, this person needed to be slapped upside the head with a dictionary and writing guide or two. Almost every "sentence" ended with rofl or stfu, and they went 0/9 as Arachne (didn't even build Frostbound hammer, and got Attack Boots third) while I went 4/5 as He Bo. Needless to say we lost, but they continued to berate the entire team and finally accused me of "ksing" all of my kills.

A very astute observation, while we joke about underageb& here, there's a small possibility that other social sites might be in on this SMITE giveaway. I mean think about it, how hard would it be to start a group on facebook, or a post on Le Reddit, or even 9fag. I would like to think 4chan is exempt from this, but I don't have any proof otherwise. There seems to be (I can't confirm) a good amount of people who were given keys and never again looked back on these threads. The few that did, are actually asking resourceful questions to improve themselves like, "How do I build so and so, etc." Point is, you can tell.
I'm refraining from posting under a name or trip out of fear how many posts will obviously be mine (not so much samefagging, but just responding to email requests, etc.)
My only other thought is, kids from other countries, I know there's quite a few European servers.
I don't want to oversimplify, but I think this general mentality comes from scoreboards in CoD type games, where teamwork is often thrown out the window in pursuit of being number one. It's like an entire demographic that doesn't know how to play team games out there. I just don't know.

>>14292818
That's actually kind of funny, Anubis is a pretty good counter to stupid Ao players, mumify, dead hands, then MUMMY BREATH your way to victory. I consider myself a decent Ao player, and even I still die to it... however, Anubis does NOT have even half the pushing power Ao has, so that's something to be cautious of it, he's a burst mage, with a good set up skill, he's probably better for occasional ganking in between waves.
Of course, if you can't land the mummify the whole combo falls apart. He's kinda like the Malzahar of SMITE, and burst casting is how he gets kills. Ao gets them more passively, often only getting the actual kill through his ult (or tornado more likely in teamfights)
I'm not going to try to be like ,"OMG NOOB, AO IS BETTER, UNINSTALL.EXE.GPI.OSX", but they have very different playstyles even if their moves look similar. Ao at the moment is closer to Morgana or Cassiopoeia (whatever DoT mage you want to go with) that's why you're probably having a difficulty with transition. That, and there's the "curse of Anubis" expression going around (basically even if a team's doing well, if it has an anubis is on it, anything and everything can go wrong and cause them to lose, it's meant as a joke, but there's some truth to it)
But hey, at least you're trying new gods, right? I still have like 7000 unspent favor from buying just Ao, Bastet, and Arachne, unless they release a God that's vastly different from the others (Thor doesn't really count as it turns out) I'll probably still have unspent favor by the game's release.

That "curse of Anubis" thing actually really slaps me on the knee, because I CAME BACK from a game due to godlike Anubis plays.
Also I rarely find myself relying on Mummify unless I'm doing a 1 on 1 kill in the jungle or something. Usually Grasp + Gaze can kill people in teamfights, especially with a sick Hades or Wukong.

The gods you start out with are pretty newbie friendly, but there's also Ao Kuang and Cupid. Cupid will take a bit of grinding to get though.
Last Hitting a minion gives you slightly more gold than if you just let them die passively. Not alot, but sometimes you might as well aim for them.

I'd say that list hitting gives enough extra gold to warrant doing it. Unless you're playing against hyper-aggressive enemies, it shouldn't be an issue to get three or more last hits per creep wave. Depending on the character (Ra and Anhur, for example), you can easily get every last hit, nearly. That's a lot of extra gold in the long run.

I never said I believe in it, it's just a running joke I've taken a liking to in passing I guess.
We win because we win, with or without anubis, it's always the team not the player (but a good player can carry more than Atlus himself... damn that would make a cool God)
Mummify's really more important for killing under the turret I meant, most of the time grasp and gaze are more than enough, with decent range too, I'm just saying you can turn any 1 on 1 situation into a win by landing mummify and going from there (which is more typical for Anubis mids, than sidelaners) of course, you could win without it, it's just stun you need to drop everything without them escaping or popping a magi cape (beads though... well you're the anubis player, you know how that usually turns out, of course, maybe 1/100 people besides myself EVER buy beads)

It wasn't just "not knowing how to play like a team" it was "not knowing how to play this game at all". How they managed to save up for Arachne is beyond me, but I'm guessing mummy or daddy's credit card was involved. I refuse to believe this person was over the age of 18.

Which seems funny to me because I always get guys who tell me to go on Vent or team speak more often than mumble. Really, I dunno why people really care about the "BEST GAMIN VOICE CHAT DEVICE EVAR" and honestly somewhat annoys me that everyone can't just use Skype{perhaps a bit bias since I've used it for years, but eh}. What do these small, arbitrary really matter for anyway?

It depends, I mean I think if you die that can be a result of your team being retarded and feeding. It can also mean that you're team is doing other stupid shit, like going to multiple lanes to jungle and leaving you alone to deal with two people.
Though take it from me, I've died plenty of times because I was retarded and ganked an entire team on my own when my team wasn't ready to actually take advantage of it. I've come to learn to stop doing this or, at the least, plan my escape route much better in this case.

I had one of these who was a Cupid. He went to the left lane where I was at to steal my mana camp and went mid and immediately got himself killed by tower diving.
The guy didn't stay at a lane the entire game and was playing generally retarded. I tried to tell him that what he was doing was retarded and not going to make him successful in the game, but he just told me to "STFU". What was worst was the other asshats white knighting him for some reason, jesus this community. It was a miracle I even managed to win that game.
Also reminds of this one time we had a team of Guan{me}/Kali/Thor/Hades/Sobek which I commented "yeah, this team is going to suck" which a "witty" Thor replied "I predict Guan is going to suck.

It's actually PAINFULLY easy to get her off, any hit of the tiniest bit of crowd control and she gets knocked off. I was discussing in a different thread how lame that was that basically the character has an ENTIRE ability that can literally be countered during use (Other one's you can "counter" by different playstyles and beads, but this one you can actually COUNTER. Obviously a stun during a channeled ult will cancel it, but if you get so much as silenced or the enemy jumps, you're fucked)
Basically keep calm, slowly make your way to your nearest tower, laugh while she, "OH SHIT, OH SHIT"s her way out of there trying to avoid you AND the turret (most arachne players don't know you can right click to jump off manually for these occasions)
There are RARE occasions they can turret dive you like this, but as an Arachne player myself, most of the time they'll rope you in for the kill, not try to chase you.
Another thing too, it doesn't do that much damage, the only benefits of it are the silence and the "I'm following you" mechanic. Real damage comes from spiders and poison.

I don't know why you're replying to that post specifically since I didn't bring it up at all, but as a matter of fact I WAS in the game that picture was taken. The irony was that I could actually see the bakasura myself... though for some reason Jordan couldn't. But I've known him for years, and I've seen my share of glitchy shit in this game so I can't doubt him.
The funny thing is that in the after game lobby the Baka said he found it funny how people thought he was glitching the game because of it.... so I guess this is a common occurrence for him?

About the same, if you start out with Warrior Tabi and hotg you can't buy potions, but if you start jungle on the right (you don't need that much mana anyway), you can sustain on the health camp (or use your remaining hotg on the mana camp if the enemy is incompetent)
But in any case, the poison buff really helps, I've nabbed many low hp kills because of it, and late game it just tacks on extra damage, can solo fire giant easily, etc.

It's about the same, generally what you do is, lay down 3 or 4 spider eggs where the first one you want spawns, then use hotg on the other one so you're guaranteed both buffs without too much of a hassle. Still the modifications to the shoes and hotg highly favors Bakasura-only jungling. Arachne DOES have that drain, but in general it's not enough. Baka gets set heal from devouring minions, which stands to reason, Arachne has better jungling mid game, but then again, everything dies in like 2 seconds by that point, no matter what god you are, so naturally I'm only looking at early game jungle to compare the two. That said though, Arachne can give map awareness pretty early, baka can't.

that wukong skin is so laughably horrendous. I can't even be assed to go on facebook to claim that thing. It looks like a 15 year old goth weeaboo used ms paint to edit sun wukong's colors.
I think I like this latest patch. Thor getting fixed was a necessity and it seems like they headed in the right direction with most other things. Winged Wand is a bit retarded (retarded good) but whatever. and one of the new items doesn't work (it's one of the ones that give magical penetration), but I forget which one.
With regard to hand of the gods, I feel like people have fallen into too much of a pattern with starting item builds. The nerf really doesn't do that much to cripple hotg's efficacy. In my opinion, you should never start without potions at level 1, so you shouldn't buy hotg and a 700-750 gold boot. What you can get however:
-Another item you would get later anyways (no boot start) that's relatively cheap at level 1.
-Boots of Celerity (underrated as fuck item)

Not if you're mid, then you can do BOTH... well not so much with the speed buff removed from inspire. Good luck escaping ganks now. Plus almost every other god can out mid her minion-wise, so you have to be picking up kills in order to keep ahead.

Don't ask me. I don't even know.
The game took so long because after late game, we would just end up doing no damage to each other.
It came down to who decided to leave. That was pretty much the only reason why we won in the first place.

Try this: Don't make sure the window is still active when minimized, I think you might have unchecked something in the options, who knows.
It works fine for me as well, but even saying so doesn't help address the problem. I know for TF2, even when minimized I can hear what's going on in the game even if it isn't my active window.
Another idea I have is, Alt tab, then layer what you need to do on top of the SMITE window. My last idea is maybe your computer is blocking the popup from the SMITE client or something.

I have before, we were losing and one man down (deserter from early on, never came back, also talked shit and probably rage quitted) And we were so well coordinated, we were picking of FG and GF left and right without too much hassle. We were literally matching them in strength being a player down. Somewhere around the 40-50 minute mark, one of them got bored and left, a little bit later another left too. our 4v5 became a 4v3, and we handily used that to our advantage. We had to wait it out, but it was the most epic win we had in awhile.
Here's a Scoreboard from that game, it really does no justice to tell the entire story though.

As much as it's an annoyance having a long game, never more does it feel more intense and equally matched than this. Not only that, you almost always get to finish your build to maximize your God. So long as it doesn't turn out like something in the pic related, I find these long matches all the more rewarding and difficult (in a good way)
459 hours later 14704982 JT
>>14682360
I do kind of like the late game better, yeah. It's more even since almost everybody by then has finished their build. If there was a gross disparity early on, it disappears. For example, in this game I was doing utter shit at the beginning. I couldn't kill anything, I was getting too much love from enemy Cupid and overall was a total shit. By the end of the game though, I was pulling my own weight in teamfights and against fire giant. Thor's tectonic rift helped isolate a lot of opponents and although I usually use his ult to escape, I managed to get in a few offensive dunks as well.
The only thing I hate about long games is that usually I play thinking a game will last about 30 minutes and I have plans to do other things after that. Sometimes I'll be in long games like this and I'll just want them to end already.

Talk about a comeback, that's almost a 30 kill deficit you came back from. It does to show, these games aren't won by kills (Which so many players are led to believe if you steal one from them) Ultimately it comes down to how well you micromanage as a team to take the towers accordingly. Once you get ONE phoenix down, you can go for the minotaur at any time. Most opponents are smarter than that, but seeing as their team lost with almost a 30 kill advantage, I would say it's evident they still have some things they can learn.
It's like in TF2 when people are going on about points as sniper or spy, when that ONE Scout gets the last cap, because they were too bust getting points.
What should you get from this?

Also, regarding Zeus and Ymir.
On Ymir, wall of absolution in a must. If you really want to you can buy Rod of Isolation and creeping curse to reduce the chances of an opponent escaping your ult, but in general you really don't need that. Walling is the most difficult thing you MUST master if you plan to play Ymir, it's easy to tell the difference between a good and bad one based entirely on their walling. First, don't rely on it too much outside of the jungle, MOST of the time your opponent will find a way around it (jumps, etc.) use it more when ganking in jungle to block off escape routes, or create some for yourself if you're the one being ganked. Focus on hp5/defense items, if you're doing really well, you can buy that new item that adds 2% of your health to offense, but stick to utility and leveling up your 1 first (it's your creep killer)
I've gone on in the past how I don't like Fatalis, Zeus is one of those few champs I think it's okay to use on. It's kind of a catch 22, because on one hand, your passive deals MONSTER damage, on the other, you have to be in autoattack range as a squishy. Basically, practice aiming autoattacks over abilities, and buy AS items when you can along with magic. If there's an odin player in game, INSIST you lane with him (even if he's bad). Zeus + Odin ult combo is easily one of the most deadly in the game, you can decide teamfights just by coordinating both (of course this comes down to the odin player partially)
478 hours later 14765226 JT (angryodin.jpg 500x332 129kB)
Grab Boots of Celerity on Ymir as well. It's an underrated as fuck item. Nobody will expect a fast Ymir to walk up to them and freeze them. It also helps cover the one defect Ymir has (movement speed with no quick approach options outside of walling behind the enemy).
Also long story time:
>playing random queue
>end up going against MagicSonGoku somehow
>I'm on a team with retarded Brazilians (not even an exaggeration. 2 of them were speaking Portuguese, including my lanemate Anubis.)
>He's on a team with a couple competent people on Skype
>Both of us play Odin
>I draw first blood against him
>Steal buffs from him while he's attacking them for the entire game
>A ally who was feeding on the left side leaves like 5 minutes in
>My Anubis ally gets mad at me (in broken english) for not using my ult against the enemy Odin and Zeus (HURR), leaves my lane and proceeds to feed the enemy team while attempting ganks
>I'm left to defend right lane against Odin/Zeus, which I do better than the entire rest of the team defends their lanes.
>At one point Anubis comes back, gets walled by their Odin in the jungle and thunder'd by Zeus. I use the opportunity to wall off Zeus myself and kill him. Anubis, asspained that he died, says something in Portuguese about Odin, in which I can only assume he was referring to me, and caps it off with an xD at the end.
>I die in a giant teamfight in which it's basically a 3 vs. 5.
>shortly after our anubis, who had been feeding, leaves the game
>our team surrenders since it's now legitimately 3 vs. 5
>MagicSonGoku ends up 3-1-3 in a 5 vs. 3 while I end up 2-1-1 in a 3 vs. 5. He brags that he's the superior Odin under these circumstances.

Read/watch guides online. You don't have to follow them religiously just enough to get a feel how different gods and items work.
Compensate enemy movement speed when using abilities.
Creeps and Towers hurt A LOT early game.
Stay behind the creeps and dont towerdive unless you are 99% sure you can get the kill.
You can practice with all gods against an enemy A.I. (i only do this before buying a god)
And the most important: You will make mistakes. Lots. Learn from them.

Ive been trying out new builds, specifically ones that start off with something other than warriors tabi or reinforced boots.
I didnt do well.
Tried using boots of celerity, and although it was fun as shit ganking with ymir, i was lacking substainability and power.
Next i tried fatalis lvl 1, hand of gods, and a few mana potions on bakasura. I ended up being level 12 by the time the enemies lowest level was 14, highest 16. It could be that im just bad, or not used to the new playstyle.
Any weird builds you guys have used that have been succesful?
