Does anybody still play SMITE?

Does anybody still play SMITE?

Why is there so little porn? Isn't it odd for it being the third most played MOBA at one point?

It's just another LoL clone, so even with somewhat of a playerbase it's pretty irrelevant

>LoL clone
nice buzzwords

>nice buzzwords
Daily reminder that buzzword is the buzzwordiest buzzword and is a non-argument literally 100% of the time

It's functionally the same game as LoL beyond the camera and control scheme, which adds barely anything considering the game is still completely 2D and how much noncombat knowledge-based focus the genre has.

>It's functionally the same game as LoL beyond the camera and control scheme
i honestly hadnt considered that
>Daily reminder that buzzword is the buzzwordiest buzzword and is a non-argument literally 100% of the time
you're still gay tho

>It's functionally the same game as LoL beyond the camera and control scheme
That's what makes it so much better.

I used to like it now not so much now I just load in to play the new gods maybe jack off to one of the goddesses feet then close it

It's the Dollar General of the MOBA genre

Opinions, but I'd rather play a 2D game with ground targeted abilities in a perspective that actually lets me see where I'm placing them
And I'd rather play it with a control scheme that makes you think a little harder about defending yourself from disables than "stand behind someone!"

It's fourth now i'm fairly certain but a huge issue is that they can't seem to sit with one map for the main 5 v 5 mode it's balanced around: Conquest.
Every other mode, like arena, is simple and popular just for shits and giggles and then conquest has gone through so many changes it's hard for most to keep up and understand the metas that swiftly come and go. now season 5 is gonna have a big map change AGAIN so it changes even more, shifting the balance and anyones knowledge of wtf is going on.

Also making clash a game mode was a horrendous idea, as much as i love it being set in ancient egypt. it is nothing like a gap between arena and conquest, the jungle is practically pointless it might aswell be a lesser version of siege but siege is too busy being a weird tryhard mode for 4men premades so it's even less popular.

Tl;dr hi-rez are dumb

>/smg/ is dead

>nice buzzwords
Dumbass, shit started off as a complete lol clone but from a 3rd person perspective and has only now branched away from it.

>""""3D action game"""""
>Map is totally flat, everything is locked onto a 2D plane

I fell off the wagon with SMITE a long long while ago, but I still appreciate it for carving out its niche the way it did and finding a way to set itself apart from LoL and DotA.

Bastet is bae.

>third most played MOBA
I thought HotS was the third most played at the moment.

I don't get why people compare this to LoL besides the simpler champion design compared to DoTA.

>Completely different game modes
>Their take on the classic 5v5 map is vertical and smaller than LoL and DoTA
>Phoenixes and Titans do damage, Nexuses and Inhibitors do not
>3rd person camera and aimed autoattacks

Only a few of the Gods are similar to LoL champs.

Back when it first launched (before HotS was a thing), it was comfortably the #3 MOBA in the world behind League and DotA, and they were super proud of that. At the end of one of their big tournaments, HiRezTodd even got a "NUMBER THREE!" chant going in the crowd.

Which is understandable, since SMITE was the first game where Hi-Rez truly struck gold after a string of botches like Global Agenda and Tribes Ascend.

Hirez once again proved they can't into balancing, Artio is unbearable.
Smite does need more porn there's bearly any (good) smut.

Same. I hate nu wa now but got damn.

You really can't credit it that much for copying another game to a point and then panning the camera down but doing next to nothing to take advantage of that new camera position.

Artio is best girl and bear though so it's OK

I used to play it, but the retarded matchmaking make me quit, I don't want to be forced to lose

It gave us Cedargrove porn. What else could we ask for?

Great color work, questionable quality art

I briefly tried it and it didn't enjoy it at all
I'm actually surprised by how much fun I've been having with Paladins because of how bad I thought Smite was
>Hi-rez makes super casual moba-type game
>then makes a ripoff of Overwatch that isn't as casual because there's no where to go but up in terms of competitiveness with overwatch

I still play OP. only played for like half an hour this whole week though.

My favorite gods are Khepri, Kuzenbo, Cabrakan, Xing Tian, and Sobek

>has less players than paladins
>esports scene was dominated by a midget greek man who stole money from everyone, a cucked blonde dudebro, and a man who died from cancer (from the game)
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
WAAHOOOOOOAHAHAHA

People who play videogames are below average
whats your point user

Just started playing today with my bro
It was pretty fun, Still just going against bots since I'm new to MOBA's in general (Played some Gigantic, enough HOTS to get the D.va skin and Battleborn if that counts)
I just want to unlock Scylla since all the /palg/ shrilling got to me.

It's STILL ''take Loki/Odin/Anubis/fat drunk guy to win'' so it's shit. I had some fun with it at one point though.

>why is there so little porn

Because there's a lack of fat burly furry characters

This game is fantastic

A realistic tactical shooter, with perfect maps that allow you to flank the enemy by multiple places and take a thousand paths. Which keeps you in tension throughout the game, tension that increases by the atmosphere of the game. And also with a small community but would be completely free of toxicity.

And practically given away on sale.

Why did this game go so unnoticed? I almost prefer that nobody knows it. Let it be my little secret

oh shit sorry I wanted to make a new post and I've messed up, I'm sleepy

I used to play in beta/few months after release stop playing because I didn't have fun with it anymore.

Kuzenbo is a scalie if that counts

So did HiRez keep supporting the game or did they lie again?

hnnng, just bought this one with my leftover free gems. Haven't played in almost a year though. Is she any good?

For so long, Hi-Rez has tried to introduce players to Smite through Arena, yet have had the gall to call Conquest their main mode. And they wonder why orgs are dropping teams left right and center. Now that it's been four seasons of an unpolished client, a poorly made jungle (jungler has been a glorified mid/solo babysitter), weird adc item shifts, Clash (what a failure of a mode to fracture people away from Conquest)...it's a declining game.

scyla nigger piece of shit

>HiRez releases a new game
>leaves old game to rot
What?!

>same forced lane meta
>same map objectives
>same itemization system with scale stat focus
>loads of the same items
>same general game pacing, power curves, mana costs, damage chunks, and CC durations
It's a ton like LoL.

Hi Rez has a reputation of juat looking at the front page of twitch (moba, team based shooter, clash royale clone, and a card based game). They are just a fucking joke.

>game just started randomly crashing a few patches ago
>no amount of letting changes, reinstalls or different drives fixed it
>fcuked up so many ranked matches with random CTD's and my team not waiting for me to load back in

I really love smite but i cant deal with it anymore. Ill check back in next year or something.

>all these lol babies who really think smite is anything like it

mitigates like a bitch, decent in solo

>hesitate for a second when she pops her ult,then press w and immediately s
gz you've now dodged 90% of scylla ults

>leap in place
>use aegis
>use sprint
>walk in a straight line (they never expect it)
>use thorns (Kuzenbo approved)

not that hard b

All of those except bacchus are low tier gods that are incredibly easy to counter. Bacchus is broken af in joust, but in conquest he is just okay until very late game.

>Ill check back in next year
game will be dead by then

>loki ever being a problem
>odin ever being a problem
>ANUBIS ever being a problem

is your level in the 0-30 range

Clash is shitty siege, and siege already isnt great. The entire community asks for domination and casual duels back since they were removed, but hirez does nothing. It literally takes tge client 2 full minutes to launch from my SSD because it's so unoptimized

Actually right now dmg Odin in the jungle is pretty much a free win in ranked

This.

Odin has no lategame. He becomes a 30 second spear ring. Top tier assassin jgs (serq, merc, kali, da ji) or even warrior jungles (bell, osiris but less since nerf, chuchu) can single target anyone on the team.

I have about 3k hours in it. It's sad though almost all off my fav gods aren't buffed at all and always lose if they are picked.

Merc is not top tier, Da Ji is trash, Ravana and Odin are the top tier junglers right now because every game goes super late and caging the team under your emperor's armor'd phoenix is how you win

My highest worshippers are tyr and AMC, so i feel you.

>odin mattering in a world where phantom exists
>emp armor being meta

I regularly play with kyleross3324, who is #3 in ranked duel w/ da ji. So i may be biased there/see her more than most ppl.

I was talking about conquest, I have no real clue where she stands in Duel or Joust

>2017
>actually getting killed by odin

I main clash and the EU and NA SPL.

fite me

>maining a game mode in the pro league when the game type isnt in the pro league

Impressive

SMITE in it's current state is all about which team has the most stuns which will likely win matches.

>tfw 2k+ hours

Only account level 110+ may post itt

Cc has always been most important. It's the reason geb matters still (high cc and cleanse)

>patch for over level 30 comes out
>jump to 119 right away
What is life, even?

Haven't played Smite in years. I think I stopped when the Japanese pantheon was introduced.

What has changed since then?

Does anyone else think that 90 gods is too many?

Celtic pantheon. Another jap adc next patch.

i enjoy the new gods. its fun. The game will never be balanced so adding new people in isnt much of a problem. Speaking of which, theres two more on the way

I fucking missed you Scylla Nigger spammer
I miss all of /smg/, but too bad even after sinking 2k hours in the game, I had to call it quits. It just wasnt as fun anymore.

And yet I went to Paladins, like the battered wife I am.

/smg/ is officialy dead?

Is Scylla still viable? She, Hel, and Athena are all I used to play.

not in a game where you can buy all of them for a low price

shes a good pubstomper, thats about it

Above 110+ reporting! Artio is best girl

It's been officially dead for like 6 months familia.
It briefly made a quick resurrection at the last big tournament but it didnt even reach bump cap before disappearing again.

Scylla is fine. Middle of thr road. Athena will never not be good. Hel is getting buffed progressively to make her matter

sorry for what?
