Far, far too many of these feel like they were ripped directly from my brain
Personally, 23/25 feel like they were stolen directly from me.
On the topic of bugs never getting fixed, The Morrigan is one of my favorite gods, but it has come to my attention that she will never be fixed. Played a match as her a couple of days ago, where I got permanently locked into my previous transformation and couldn't do anything but basic attack. The game kept trying to play the "death" animation to change me back and kept incrementing my death counter. Fun times.
Ne zha and desync autos never gonna get fixed xd
Once I transformed into Merlin and i could't change the stance. That god is beyond buggy.
Just embrace her bugginess, it's a feature at this point.
8:48 I'm surprised you included this one but not the opposite, "Opponent running away with 1 HP", which is honestly 100x worse and happens way more often
nah someone getting away with 1 hp is just mission failure well get im next time. minions though oh god they like the cock blocking gods. not just killing me after a god kill there have been so many instances of them stopping me from killing others just from bad timing ECT. bought to kill someone minions come around corner now enemy god has a whole wall to return kill you.
Atleast 5 times a game they have 5 hp. Even worst is when you’re losing and you need the kill badly. Then after they get out you have had over committed and you die
Sounds like a skill issue
Dude I remember a lot of skins used to 400 gems,maybe 800 if it were something from an event or an exclusive chest. Now they're 1200 gems and it's like "lol fuck no."
Persephone kit. Especially in assault. Plants running down the lane every 4 seconds that you can’t interact with at all, and an ult that can travel the length of the map, whiff horribly, and still be massively impactful.
Pers was perfect before rework...
Persephone’s rework is the biggest crime ever committed and whoever did it deserves life in prison. Her unique kit before the rework was perfect. Her new kit is dogshit.
@@codyweber5505I don’t think it’s dogshit but it’s just boring. Easily the most boring in the game.
There are a lot of mages that Requiem next to no skill st all. But persephone is up there in the top 3 most skillless gods ingame.
For me it’s how Smite labels Support vs other MOBAs, other games have high CC supports, supports built around poking, supports that are all about heals/shields and only a few supports are just full tanks. Smites identity of support is play a tank with all the aura items you can grab or you’re trolling the game. Other games it’s “You have a support starter item, go nuts.”
As a support main in both league and smite, I think smites supports are able to have more impact throughout an entire game than others when played and built correctly, which makes them more fun for me personally tbh
The thing I hate the most is the Joust map cycling. They made an amazing map in s7 and then (almost) never let us play on it again. When they brought back the s3 joust map, it came complete with bugs that were originally tied to that map that weren't in the s7 one.
My biggest gripe is Hirezs lack of care for other game modes. It wouldn't be hard to program separate code for other modes like slash, something like beads having a perhaps 70-80 second cooldown because teams ALWAYS 5 stack massive cc and you absolutely stun locked with how long beads cooldown is. Its a much smaller map than conquest so beads and aegis, other actives having the same cooldown makes 0 sense, some gods are just way to broken like kuzenbo nad Jorm. The CC lock interactions are so unfun.
Or buy magis cloak and its busted glyph. I main slash and literally the cloak tree is anti cc.
it would spawn 300 more bugs lol
@@HookahOtaku Its okay but sacrifices a lot on gods you need to damage with. A combo like kunzenbo, nox/hera/discordia, achilles/arthur/bellona, ullr, thor... still gonna cc you to death.
@@BrotherBillOG buying magis cloak / 1 defense item should not significantly gimp your damage as power levels are lower, and defenses are stronger. Magis gives you cc immunity and can buff that damage you would have otherwise “lost”, if you buy the glyph.
@HookahOtaku Works until Janus portals under you, magis goes on cd for 45 sec, Janus portals 5 secs later, beads are on cd. And BTW you're taking taking damage because his portal and even if you beads it you're likely to get hit by the orbs. And then boom he portals out, nice and safe right... portals in an kills you or his team cc locks you. To win in smite you play all cc, hence why beads needs a buff.
i like the idea of draft casual mode, i have that exact problem. i'm not a ranked conquest player, very casual and the whole draft ban/pick process seems tedious and somewhat nervewracking if i don't pick the correct bans if it happens to be me. i just want to get in the game and play. ranked does add more pressure and having a casual mode where you can learn and adjust to the draft step, it would help me warm up to it.
I do like the idea of some form of bans for casual modes (a few MotD options have it, but most do not). My fondness for the idea would mostly come from a line of thought that many people would disagree with: bans in casual games would allow a broken new release to be banned (usually new releases have me playing mostly Assault for a bit due to how annoying games are for a few days after the patch with the enemy having one who is brokenly annoying and the terrible fighting in pre-game lobby over who plays the new character... usually this is solved by someone insta-locking, but this tends to cause problems of its own).
Just to say, ranked has a new system and everyone bans one god.
Same here
Personally, accidentally using your beads when you're trying to VGS take the cake
I stand by being an F7 Warrior - Especially since most of those games people tend to give up right away, we end up bringing it back and winning. Granite, I do not Play Conquest😅😅
I have had matches where if they person who is trying to throw up the surrender just played the game we would win. There is a difference between just getting stomped by the enemy team and a player who has died almost 20 times feeding the other team.
For it being most games, we'll have to agree to disagree. Some games, certainly not surrendering will eventually result in winning. Other games, not so much. A 10k gold lead is where I draw the line for when a game isn't realistically winnable (they aren't going to get a lead that big from one or two fights going poorly). Now, that is approximate, it might vary by a few thousand depending on the match-up (if they have lots of early game characters and my team is more focused on late game, then drawing things out so the enemy power level falls off and late game allies get builds online can work).
executes, people not VGSing enemy missing, supports / solo going full damage because they got support / solo, team greeding waves / camps and dying, and getting my preferred role to have the q dodged and then getting a off roll the next game.
I absolutely hate the nerfs to FG it makes ending games that are swung completely in your favor take so much longer than needed
The diminishing returns rework showed me they were too lazy to change/reduce every cc in the game. So they instead made a mechanic that mostly works, but demolishes certain Gods as a band-aid fix to the cc issue in smite (which honestly still hasn't been fixed)
My Top 3: Comp trolls (we really needed that 3rd mage), F7 trolls (you're 1/13 but by all means your vote to keep playing counts), Build trolls (you saw a SPL player use that build on an off role god so it should be just as easy for you)
I feel like one thing is just invincibility abilities that don't have start lag. Ravanna and Chang'e come to mind, with Ne-zha sash invincibility lasting way too long, though at least you have to hit that one.
Aphrodite ult, while annoying, is at least an ult, and Charybdis kinda needs it so I don't mind it there, but at least with the first three, it makes fighting those gods unbearably annoying
Yu Huang too
It's not that bad it's not like they last forever
Cope buddy
Really? You don’t mind Charybdis? That one has to go imo. Or give her 50-75 DR in it for all I care, but her ability to just nope out of a situation, wait for your cooldowns and ‘outplay’ you is annoying as fuck. No skill in that bitch.
@@CFallescenceChang'e is specially annoying with max cooldown reduction, she could use it to dodge an ult, get in tower, and then a couple seconds after use it again to dodge a Janus ult
Probably my biggest annoyance is when there's someone who throws the game (sometimes because they're mad, sometimes because 0/13/2 is legitimately how they play a hunter or assassin), I block them, requeue, and then... have them on my team again. Just because someone has a bad K/D doesn't mean I block them (a Geb with full support auras might go really negative in kills, but still be the reason we win). A few years ago, patch notes said that blocking was being abused in ranked to avoid fighting the best GM players. As a result, it was patched so that blocking didn't have any effect on who you fought. That makes perfect sense, but it seems like it doesn't prevent people from being put on the same team as you either.
Okay, just reached F7 warriors on your list. Yeah, that's a strong contender for most annoying. Sometimes they do legitimately think that the game can be won (and that can even be reasonable at times; if you have Freya and Kali on your team, then after getting really late in the game your team's chances of winning become fairly good). Still, most F7 warriors try to avoid any discussion of whether or not victory is even realistic and just avoid the topic with phrases like "just play", "shut up", or even just hitting F7 and refusing to give any rationale in chat. Generally, if a teammate has a plan, I'm willing to try it (plans like "Khepri ult should always be on me" or something similar tend not to inspire confidence). If the plan is something like "force the mage's beads and then retreat, focus the mage again the next fight" or "let me back for erosion and then we can fight their fed Odin and Nemesis", then I'm probably on board. I do wish that the game would reset the surrender timer with a DC. It's common for there to be a ragequit after a failed surrender vote, and many people who voted F7 would likely change their minds if they were suddenly in a 4v5.
For the 100-star one tricks: certainly annoying. Part of this are the characters you tend to see this for: Nu Wa, Susano, Aphrodite, Loki, etc... There are occasionally Ganesha or Khepri mains with ridiculous numbers of stars, but they tend to be few and far between. Oddly, Aphrodite is an anomaly on this list, since she's focused on being supportive more than doing damage or getting kills. Aphro players just tend to be... difficult personalities (plus if they're in a clan with a teammate, then the rest of the team probably won't get healed much for the entire game; I call this phenomenon the "Pocket Aphro").
For the diminishing returns (DR) on CC, I'm wanting to say that Horus 1 isn't shortened by DR (knock-ups apply DR, but aren't actually affected by it if memory serves). Thor ult combo definitely feels clunky. Granted, I'm more in the camp of disliking the lack of counterplay for a good amount of CC (the 140 second cooldown on upgraded beads is fine for Ares/Da Ji/Xing Tian/Cerberus ults due to the long cooldowns of those ultimates, but in games where being affected by a single Ymir freeze [8.4 seconds at max CDR] or Athena taunt [9.6 seconds at max CDR] gets you killed, it's tough to go 140 seconds without needing beads again).
i will never get over the fact that the menu highlight bug is still in the game in 2023
my favorite bug is the one where if I open my friends list or just randomly my alt account will be automatically placed in my party as the leader. But since I'm not actually in a party I can't leave, or queue or anything and have to restart and hope it doesn't happen again
Assault should have a three god lineup per person with rerolls rerolling their lineup one time with a single character lock for safety.
For example, you have Anubis, Vamana, and Cerberus
You can choose any one of those three or reroll
You opt to lock Cerberus, rerolling Anubis and Vamana for 10 favor
You now have Cerberus, Ah Puch, and Mercury
It's more complex, but it means that your team isn't gonna be absolutely shit because you got stuck with a single roletype and the opponents have a better lineup.
I'd also like to see an "Mirror Assault" in the Match of the Day queue where your team and the enemy team has the exact same teamcomp and you get 20 seconds to switch gods with your teammates.
3:14 - As someone who plays a ton of Morrigan, her ult has SO many bugs. I mean copying Arthur or Merlin is just asking for things being broken, but even gods that you'd think would be fine are sometimes bugged.
Thor and Cherno ults have misplaced target reticles often, which makes you miss ults in a spectacular fashion, I once dashed as Cherno all the way to the enemy Phoenix like 6 mins into the game bc the indicator was completely wrong.
As the 50 stars wukong guy, I can relate that many one trick players are pretty much like that, they understand their god and not too much about everything else. Its not exactly like that for me since I also play other warriors (12 stars on shiva, 9 on cuchulain etc), but my super confort godpool is not the widest (4-5 super confort gods, some other warriors I can do good on but don't feel so confortable on like tyr or king arthur), and lets be honest, you don't want me in any other role with any other class that is not a warrior, right now I'm a player around the 2.8k mmr and I'm literally gold in any not solo role
I still don't see the problem tbh just let ppl play the god they want, it's a game after aĺl.
Number 1 and 2 for me will always be:
1. People who get mad and dont play their role
2. Dodging ques after your in the match
#7 has to be my biggest gripe. Like they did the heal changes i expected self healing to lose its scaling but the number values to remain the same so it isnt kinda worthless. The buffs that came with these changes just didnt feel good enough. Seeing my bacchus heal 20 hp is so laughable.
He’s not supposed to have a impactful heal, you get a lot of protections with it
I thought the Bacchus heal was just so it would trigger self-heal effects, not to be particularly useful innately.
@@calebowens693exactly
They could make firegiant drop a item late game that when used in a phoenix tower would either stun it like the one buff in joust or keep its Agro for a time which would let you be able to destroy phoenix easier and or kill anyone who is hiding under phoenix
For the first one, I also want to add that trolls make it harder to play off-role picks, since everyone ASSUMES you’re trolling, and many people will either dodge or int if you play stuff like Atlas solo even in casuals
F6 warriors are tragically extremely common in mid-level casuals and ranked of every mode, and it sucks being barely able to play the game
Okay, yeah, that's a fair point. Particularly if someone plays something unusual in support it seems like it's someone who doesn't want to play support rather than someone who thinks the off-meta pick will be a good support.
Between the two, F7 warriors annoy me more than F6 warriors, but either extreme can be annoying.
I did ask poseidon supp if he had wanted a different role, he said no so I went with it. We lost, but still the thought counts.
“Excessive turtling” gee i wonder why, when tanks are blowing up backlines and nobody can end the games because the damage dealers are dead and the tanks are just playing footsies with the enemy tanks waiting for respawns till the game drags for an hour. Fun meta guys.
PREACH!
As a proud F7 warrior, I must say F6 warriors are what give me my unrelenting resolve. 99.99% of the time I find the F6rs are people who feed 4 kills in 3 mins and just wanna quit bc they assume the game's lost and decide trolling is preferable to trying any longer.
These players assume any deficit means instant loss exactly because they always give up, so they only get experience playing from ahead and they get significantly worse at playing from behind over time, leading to more losing and more quitting.
F7 gang may be insufferable, but we know how to make a comeback 💪🏻
I felt that
My sentiments exactly
Only a few MotD options are 2v2. For a team of 3-5, there will be other people who are neither the F7 warrior nor the person who feeds 4 kills in 3 minutes. Assuming any deficit means instant loss isn't correct, but there needs to be a solid reason to assume that a game which started even and has shifted in favor of the enemy might shift the other way. As the saying goes: "hope is not a plan." Now, being down a couple of kills probably isn't a big deal. The real question is: "how much of a lead is a big deal?" For that, it comes down to how early or late game focused the allied and enemy teams are as well as likely power spikes and objective pressure. If a late game comp holds out, they can very much turn a game around on an early game comp that has managed to get lots of kills and destroy some objectives. When an early game comp is losing early game to a late game comp... it's probably not likely to be better when more time elapses.
Now, if a game is going poorly and the person who doesn't want to surrender just finished a key item and got a power spike, it might be perfectly reasonable to try another fight or two. I tend to strongly disagree with any line of thought which presents a single kill, single team-fight, or even single objective as a reason to surrender or not surrender. If the inciting event is indicative that future events are likely to facilitate victory or defeat, then it would be something to act on. For instance, a Khepri who ults himself one time can mean many things (he might be tanking an objective, it could have been trying to ult a teammate who was standing right next to him, etc...). However, if the Khepri uses his ult on himself the first 4 times, it probably indicates a larger problem. Not that I see that particular example very often (usually I'm the guardian), it's just a matter of making a judgement call of how the game is likely to proceed. Now, many people are much more likely to surrender withing 4 seconds of dying (which can also be useful; if someone seems overconfident, they'll be more likely to agree to surrender if you start the vote right after they die).
The F7 gang doesn't seem insufferable to me, but occasionally they seem to stretch the definition of optimism. Smite tries to give players a 50/50 win/loss rate. If a game seemed a bit bad, victory may well be attainable. If a game seemed really bad, it would need a specific plan for how things are likely to turn around for not cutting bait and trying for another lobby without the guy who feeds 4 kills in 3 minutes on the team to seem like a logical choice.
man, the exclusive chests and skins is easily my number 1. as someone who only started playing in the last few years, i hate that like half the skins in the game are just perma locked away
For me one of the biggest things driving me insane now is people not understanding the current starts. Ever since leashing became a thing people do not know how to handle it and someone messes it up almost every game 😊
just say what should be done before game and they'll never happen unless the person is just completely new. ping or type what you want done
Talking about bugs not being fixed.
Atleast on console if you have the scoreboard open when you respawn as Kali you are permanently stuck with scoreboard and pick a target.
So you're forced to close the game and reopen it.
Number 26:
People who treat casual conquest as a matter of life and death but never play ranked conquest because they can't be bothered to queue
1. Lack of anti-snowball Gods, mechanics, and players that know of anti-snowball tactics.
2. The removal of Siege, makes it difficult to find a mode when you only have a party of 4, but don't want to play with randos.
3. Removal of starter items in Joust, I've often used Joust to test new builds because of the smaller player size and speed of the mode. Ideally, I'd like all items to be balanced enough to be usable across every mode.
4. Lack of attention in underperforming or otherwise unpopular Gods, I don't mean things like reworks or skins, because those obviously take time, I mean Gods who's damage, numbers, and kit overall performs worse and are barely picked across all modes.
#3 hit home
I want the Geb Earth emote but they haven’t made it available in years and I didn’t play back then 😢
Yesterday a guy was solo lane. Mid was afk for a bit and missed buff start for like 5 seconds. Solo was late to lane, tried to fight anyways and gave first blood. TP'd back, died again (in 1:20). His brilliant idea was to start rotating the whole map and die to everyone until he got 0/13 and quited. Talk about trolling.
@@ghostinthecrawlspace a true smite hood classic
I literally never use beads, doesn’t matter what god I play. I love pain.
On a side note; since the Jun 2020 ban wave and the May 2021 3 strike rule, this game has suffered over a 60% player turnover rate. That means, a MAJORITY of the player base has been around at most 2-3 years. Most are here for the children's crossover skins, not the game itself and it shows.
I think we should get 2 beads the first one is free, then the second is 250 gold or something, just like we get the shards or used to get the baby wards. There is too much cc, I find myself regretting playing smite when im not physically in control of my character for 1/3 of the match! Also tanks/warriors are op so these conquests go for so long along with the fire minions never ending siege after one phoenix is taken down, you literally cant do anything. Plus a big gripe for me for all gamemodes that have a titan is the fact that the titan is literally a joke! I think Smite should stand out and make it hard to kill, give it more abilities, more damage to minions etc. It just feels like a jungle camp at the end of the game.
On bugs never getting fixed, I still get the Baron bug where his coffin clips into him and stays there. Shit's distracting
You missed the matchmaking!
My account level is 172 there is no reason i should have brand new players in my games....
Even if they are Casual games.
I have a few former pros regularly in my games and then all of a sudden I'm in a game with a brand new playing building tier 2 items all game
Nevermind you sort of covered it in number 12
i like the diminishing returns concept for cc but it needs to be reduces, maybe capping out at 60% scaling 15% per stack
they should have made colorforge for clans and clan leaders can choose a god skin colorforge them and add a clan logo on the character somehow. Shouldn't be that hard to do and the colorforge system is already in the game
They should up Cthulu's scaling
no they shouldn't
5:35 damn good clutch, I couldn't focus on the actual video because of the gameplay lmao
100 star one tricks don’t scare me usually. and then there’s Yotsuyu and my face goes pale… I don’t know how many stars they have on The Morrigan now, but good god that’s one of the one trick players you don’t want to see…
Yotsuyu is an NA player, and Diamond/Masters every season so if you don’t know who they are or have never run into them, you’re lucky. or playing in a different region
Smite: the game where you have to play like a diamond player to get into platinum because your gold games have silver teammates.
Shift the ranks up and down in the above sentence as needed.
When I started I used to be terrified of those dudes with all the stars… now I get excited when it’s on the other team
THE BEST FIX smite could implement is valorants ban system... When you go afk for a couple rounds the system detects and warns you. but if you do this any more than one game or even when you go afk for like 9 out of 16 rounds your getting a 24 hour ban first offense and you dont have to be reported it straight up knows. At least you cant play ranked. you can still go in casually and if you play games your cooldown is reduced by completing games. the second is comm bans. ive went into coms and saying the f word and getting into it and you will start getting banned without being reported. and if you keep offending you get banned from ranked for a week.
I play on switch and cannot play conquest, although I would like to try it more I have only been able to play it 4 times. The switch disconnects me in the loading screen and wont let me play until the conquest match is over leaving my teammates without me. And I can’t even do anything about it. I can basically only play arena now.
As an arena main*
Not gonna lie, if we’re losing pretty bad or are losing against a comp that has better scaling than ours, I will surrender asap. If the team doesn’t surrender, I sit in base, put my controller down so my character walks in place, and just do something else.
I’m all for playing out close games but if we’re down 50 tickets, I’m not wasting my time.
I agree that some games aren't realistically winnable. However, if two F7 warriors are holding the other three teammates in the game, going AFK is punishing the two good teammates as well as the two F7 warriors.
If you're okay with punishing the good teammates along with the inconsiderate ones, that's your decision. Just have your choice be a deliberate one for however you choose to treat your nice teammates.
My biggest thing is their suspension/ban system. Got told to off myself because I got daji in assault and got banned for making fun of the guy for him and I doing the same amount of damage.
Yeah, the suspension/ban system definitely needs more work. The core problem appears to be that it needs more people assigned to it, it's too automated to really be effective. It would not have an immediate, measurable benefit if they did this. It doesn't seem likely that the money will be allocated for a several additional jobs if there isn't a direct association between that expenditure and players buying more gems. Long term, it would be healthier for the game. However, most management decisions are based on short term; that isn't necessarily the mark of a bad manager, but more an issue that managers are usually treated like their most recent monthly or quarterly earnings.
my least favorite thing of all time is popping skadi ult on someone, just for them to completely get out and runaway. its ass when i half health or lower someone and they just leave for free.
Can we talk about the Relics bug on them being not used when you click to use them, especially Aegis?
That F7 Duo queue quote hit hard...
number 23 hit me hard. just got back into smite and have gone into multiple ranked games with people who have 20+ stars on vulcan who miss every single ult and just spam their abilities on cd. I just expect if I see them now, they're gonna be the worst player on the team.
I've tried to figure out the general number of stars where it goes from "huh, they must know that character really well" to "huh, if they play so few characters, their knowledge of other roles and/or items intended for different characters is probably lacking." I'm wanting to say it's about 3 to 5 stars where they might be formidable and 6+ tends to be a liability, but that's more of a guess. Without actually tracking data, a guess is all it will be.
Clans, bugs like changing audio devices in-game ruining your sounds effects, skin chests, skin chests that include skins that don’t go with the theme, dead servers like Asia existing wasting resources, players that don’t know how to end a game, smooth brain god designs I swear majority of mages are just a 1 + 2 combo with two other abilities.
I hate healers in 80% CDR MOTD matches (with no bans), like cmon we all wish we had 10 health bars.
Lol that's funny. #4 is one of the things I love about the game. OP God's on release are just too funny
Them staying broken on the other hand isn't but usually they're not like that for too long
On the subject of item changes. It's not Hirez but the majority playerbase that lags behind. Crit was bodied but peeps would still build it in casuals and lobbies under diamond. People in casuals continued to be bodied by Guan, which is why guan got Nerfed. Look at Smites subreddit and you will see the core problem. The majority of the playerbase underperforms. The advent of the comeback mechanics and every match going into late game has pushed the problem to the surface and Hirez knows, but Hirez can't do anything. These players do not grasp that they are bad, absolutely delusional. Weakens elo hell series proves this as well. We have a community problem and we have to address it.
This has been a common issue since gaming became mainstream. It's why OW is in the state it is. Company execs continue to push for more pandering to the "casual" gamer, which doesn't work outside of mobile games.
We need people to start thinking about actually winning every match. Playing as best as they can. Hirez needs to cease the momma bear approach and instead the Asian parents one.
There's multiple ways to achieve this and it will greatly benefit both community and creators. Make the game hyper competitive and Tencent will beg to redo Smite's Asia release.
Games like PoE for example or even Elden Ring are as successful because they bank on the hardcore dedicated players.
I hate that i won't be able to see the aztec gods because we alresdy have the mayans even if i don't see anything wrong with having both, it's just more content.
And of course the recloros the add now for the new gods i don't know why that is tied to a real money purchase that are limited so i can't get em anymore once they're gone.
I've been begging on the Smite Discord for them to change up the surrendering when you have a disconnect. I absolutely hate that 2 people can hold a game hostage because they refuse to f6. If there is a disconnect and half the team wants to end the game the game should end. I do get that some games could be salvaged but some times a game should be ended early, especially when there is a toxic player. Had too many games where there is a player sitting in fountain harassing other players and the game just slogs on.
I also hate Loki player because they tend to be trolls. I don't get why so many are so obnoxious almost all the time. Another thing I hate is the fact that it always seems that Loki on the enemy team is a master of death leaving pentas in their wake while the Loki on my team can't move and attack at the same time. In my 5+ years of playing Smite I have only met 2 Loki players that weren't trolls and were functional teammates.
There's a certain level of in-fighting for team chat where victory just becomes a fantasy. Exactly where that level is would be difficult to pinpoint, but it's a common point in many losing games. Now, it could be argued that factors which start teammates arguing are the main cause of the loss (and that would probably vary; sometimes the in-fighting itself would be the main reason for the loss, and sometimes whatever the subject of the argument is would be the primary reason).
I love getting disconnected in the beginnning of the game and then I try to join back for 10 minutes straight and then whenever the game ends smite finally loads up again and I get a deserter penalty or people false report me for being afk or something
I’m guilty of number 16. I usually play in games where they f6 at 10 minutes even when we’re barely losing. Sometimes i get dived and jumped all game but i still don’t wanna just quit because auntie didn’t raise a quitter
The 100-star kinds of people make me giggle lol. 99% of the time I'll just hard focus and bully them because I *know* they're almost guaranteed to have worse mechanics and game sense than other players. Very rarely fails.
For the clan stuff I'm just glad I got everything in the old clan chest before they got removed
I have a handful of gods with alot of stars. Atlas with 10, khepri with 6, ra with 3, yimir with 3, fafnir with 2. And a few more i think. For some reason recently i cant play atlas that well anymore.
When you have a grandmaster player in your lobby who doesn't ward, loses every 1v1 they get into, is constantly overextended and never calls rotations or rotate themselves but they accept 0 blame and flood the chat with toxin because "they're grandmaster" so it's impossible they're the ones making mistakes
I have a friend who is well over 30 stars on ra and he is the best fucking player I have ever seen. He can play ra in any lane and win with ease on top of him working as a team. Dudes a mad lad.
-The huge number or DCs (non-rage quit).
-How a 3-2 surrender vote (3 being yes) does not surrender.
-Executes.
-Only able to watch 2-3 ads a day (I like free chests🤷♂️)
-The people who die once and think it’s “GG Next”
My problems, which are ones Inter probably would never have to think of. 1, trying to learn a new conq role but there's no safe space, as all your games are at the skill level of your main role; and similarly just the poor matchmaking in general.
Agree with almost everything except the complaint about DR. There is SO MUCH crowd control in this game, and with beads on such a long cooldown, DR is absolutely, without a doubt, necessary. So you won't be able to full-combo someone with Thor? Well, it feels terrible to be on the other side of that, and you'll have plenty of other opportunities in that same game to full-combo someone else.
I live in the US and have about 100 ping on godernet on both servers and it's insufferable. Some CC's are impossible to beads and some slow escapes like Yu Huang 3 gets cancelled once you are already in the air on your screen. I can play some AAA games on other continents and have similar ping to SMITE.
If there was one more thing I’d add to that list, it would be that the Smite tutorial sucks. The tutorial teaches you to just use meditation cloak - “omg you’ll heal so much in the early game” but if u slap it on a squishy it doesn’t matter you’re gonna die in 2 more shots anyway. Worst part is the people who usually build med cloak are squishy characters bc they were taught at the start of the game to do so. Smite’s tutorial needs to be better
Over the past several months I’ve been crashing every other game and almost every single game I play has at least one DC from each team at the beginning of the match. Is this not happening to everyone?
Trolls are getting out of control lately, sadly.
Edit: I play since week 2 of the beta and it's getting wild lately.
Ok but like can we talk about how you just VIOLATED that Anubis at 5:40 tho?
Nox deserves her own category, I don’t care if “HeR SkiLL sHoTs TaKe SkiLL”, she’s extremely uninteractive to play against. If you get the circle dropped on you, you have two options, B line it out of the circle and hope she can’t aim, or juke her and take the hit because you ain’t doing both and it’s a non ultimate ability so beads ain’t doing shit for you. You either hope to gods she leaves you alone or you get rooted for 6 years and go get a snack bc you’re instantly dead. I don’t play conquest so maybe she’s fine or trash there but in other gamemodes, she’s extremely toxic to play against, especially arena, a root is a guaranteed death if her team has any cognitive function. Also if you’re a god that channels abilities or has a long wind up like kumba, you might as well just take the deserter because you ain’t doing crap
Janus is a bigger cancer than Nox, Nox just needs to get her base damage slapped down a bit and increase her magic power scaling, so if she builds glass cannon, sure she can still whip you, but support builds which are the problem builds where shes tanky asf and still be able to blow you up. It all goes back to the cancer tank meta/dirty bubble meta. Janus however hes literally one shotting with just his 2. He gets 20% penetration for free lol, and one shots your backline to portal away instantly lol and repeat his combo within 6 secs.
Nox is so busted man. She forces a beads or aegis with her triple stun kit that does insane damage, 1 hit potential. You might live if shes alone, but if shes got a friend around youre done for. And even if you do live, guess what? The other 4 gods on her team have stuns and her stuns are off their 6 sec cooldown while your beads are on their cancer 160 sec cooldown.
@@HookahOtakuor immediately if he has deso
@@shaxow1142 literally facts. Im so tired of seeing crying on mid ass gods, when the real bad ones are not even being mentioned and are literally single handedly soloing games. Op crying bout nox when the two item janus is one shotting that same nox.
@@HookahOtaku Nox isn’t broken, she’s toxic. Nox in a vacuum is very annoying at best. What makes Nox extremely toxic is her 1+2 combo when she has anyone else around bc all you can do is shoot autos and hope you don’t die. Yes, Janus is a bursty god, throw Nox in the picture and he doesn’t even need to aim anymore, he can just line it up perfectly while you’re stuck in the 2 second root AND cripple (which, might I add, is unaffected by DR and CDR so it’s always 2 seconds no matter what on both 1 and 2). Sphinx bauble got gutted because multiple gods could abuse it but she was the poster child for abusing it, her damage was lower but she was more potent than she was without it bc her CC is extremely potent I.e. uninteractive and toxic
a way that could may DR better but fair would be to have it apply across gods IE thor ult 1,2 combo would have 0 DR but and follow up CC for a different god would have DR applied
Had a game last 1 hour and 22 minutes the other day. Everyone but me and one person on the other team left so we just kept fighting until the other ons left or one of us finally won
As a Jorm main. The whole thing where if he gets hit he lost his speed. In the most recent patch he doesn't lose it anymore. So you're telling me for 3 years he was glitched?
I don’t even mind bloated god kits but most of the time they’re not even interesting bloat. Just a bunch of added stats buff or debuffs. I just want interesting kits, that feel unique to play and bring something new to the game. They can be simple or complex but just unique pls.
so many of these things are avoidable altogether with positioning or proper play, and so many of these things are counterable... you could come up with a list like this for literally any game. IDK, a couple points are very valid but most of these feel like frustrations that occur in any game whenever there's a skill gap between players or whenever there are positioning based possibilities such as displacement into objectives (i.e. pull into tower).
If you’re not building Thoth 6th item you’re playing the game wrong. Get it late so everyone thinks your damage is crap and then once it’s stacked… boom! An additional 12 damage on each ability! Obv a high lvl gm move that you commoners wouldn’t understand.
Surprised the obnoxiously complicated starts isn't on the list. I guess as a solo player it isn't that bad, but its overly complicated nature can fuck the game before the wave even spawned because a new player isn't in on them
I want to shout out playing on Switch. I only play on Switch and it's just painful. Crashes all the time, shop doesn't work, and conquest doesn't even load. It just doesn't. I don't even know why or how but it's just pretty much a locked mode.
The one and only thing I hate about this game is ranked matchmaking. Its the sole reason i stopped playing smite. Nothing aggravates me more than absolutely stomping in lane, i look at the scoreboard the rest of my time has no wards, constantly getting killed or not rotating. There has been MANY time I am 1v2, taking killing one person while i die, and somehow my team is dead in a 4v3. Then I'm the asshole for getting pissed off because I do not deserve to lose the game I played well in.
What they oould add to force games to end sooner is a sort of "Crumble" effect to the map. Forcing all players out of the jungles and into lanes or shutting down lanes gradually. Or implement the titans leaving base except make them the real titans. Criticize if you want I know these are whack ideas
I'm still waiting for my Mulan sentai skin to fix the transparent legs
Let's be honest... a bug that makes any Neith skin have Fafnir voice pack would be incredible.
Surprised you didn’t have “dying at level 2” there tbh
I haven't played smite in a LONG time, bugs complaints aren't a knew but I really don't remember having issues with bugs.
I'm not trying to contradict anything I just find it wild that there are so many bugs that I've somehow not interacted with
tbh unless you play new god releases before they get patched you shouldnt come across any bugs in normal games since the bugs are so niche that you'd need coordination with a teammate/enemy and a set of bizarre conditions/timing to fulfill before the bugs work.
not sure if it is still a big problem like it used to be but hackers in ranked is one of the things that annoy me a lot and they seem not to get banned or when banned they just start a new account and it's not like it's for highest ranks or anything am plat yet i ran into bellona and hel with speed hacks and the excuse for hel was even worst than the act cause he was like ''nah it shield of regrowth u noob '' while running at me 200mph :(
Nobody talk about the terra triple dash bug honestly think they should make that big a feature it makes her playable
Spirit minions are THE WORST, especially in other casual modes where players don't even know what to do with them
BY FAR my biggest complaint is how horrible matchmaking is.90% of my games, I'm either put with a full team of brand new players or against them. It's so unbalanced. Maybe 10% of games are matched well. It's extremely frustrating.
Also bring back the dungeon crawl! That's the most fun I've had in smite in 8 years.
I hate the lack of CCDR. Most hard CC abilities aren’t even affected by diminishing returns.
But they could be tastefully implemented if the design team just fucking tried maybe once? Sheesh
Most hard CCs ARE affected by diminishing returns. The only exceptions are displacements and very few specific ones like cabrakan 1. The majority of hard CCs are diminished. Ball-park like 70-80%
I feel the F7 warrior ones
Personally I hate it whenever something balanced but strong gets nerfed because either hi rez or the communnity cant handle it. (Bruiser jungles and Assassin supports or Aphro/Hel support) It's starting to get on my nerves. Not to mention the community's aversion to getting good
1:54 “I won’t go into any specific gods here but…” It’s okay, you can say Nox
Also ranked should have tons of rewards for winning games to actually bring in some more people instead of 1 skin and border at 50 and 300 wins -.-
