Off Topic Discussion Megathread

It's funny, too, because it doesn't really prevent toxicity. If players get salty they just spam 'Nice Job!' or deliberately sabotage things...which will often be reported and presumably investigated. So it's not like there's any less work for the support team...

Exactly right. I haven't seen the spamming as often this season as last though, just more of the quiet griefing. I do see "Good Match!" fairly early on when they think we will lose (doesn't mean we will).

Nope, will never stop it.

For you non-SMITE players...

Thanks!
You Rock!
Cancel That!
Good Game!
Cancel That!

I haven't played SMITE in so many years. I think when I saw it last time it had some Nickelodeon cartoon promo, and I think maybe something about Rambo (?) recently. I have no clue what is going on there, some Fortnite style promos I guess. Anyway, I do remember people going "You Rock!", "Cancel That!" often.

They've added so many fun characters in those years. We're at the 122nd Deity having been added, Ishtar. They added Merlin, King Arthur, Morgan Le Fey, Cthulhu, Baron Samedi, Horus, Set, Shiva, Gilgamesh, Tiamat, etc etc.

I have the ultimate God pack from years ago even, so I can play everything added. Sucks about all the skins. I have thought about playing it again, just as something to kill time every so often. I first played that game way back in I think 2012. I have the little beta tester icon too with the lion or whatever. I have been kind of using CC in this game as my outlet for that currently, but since I got my mount I could branch out to other games, since all that's left is currency I do not need.

SMITE has changed a lot over the years. They combined Siege with Clash, creating the Slash game mode (2 lanes, 5v5, huge jungle and sieges to help you push towers). A bunch of items have been removed or completely reworked, and several gods have been reworked too. Hades and Zhong Kui are mages instead of guardians now.

I'm going to be honest, I'm awful with the names of things. I don't know what specifically these modes were previously. I must have not played those modes much. I think I played whatever the classic moba mode was called mostly. I barely remember even my skill names in FFXIV even!

I might or might not.

If you do replay, I'd suggest playing Arena to get used to the various gods and items since it's just basically an open area with nothing but team fighting (that few take seriously). Also look up a few builds so you can get the hang of what the popular items are. The mode is my go to usually if I want casual matches that last 20 minutes at the longest and 10 minutes at the shortest due to surrenders. It helps with learning new gods too (outside of lanes). Some gods just do better in laned combat, like Anhur.

Well we saw it coming… There was nothing inherently interesting about this game. Old engine, development hell and imo it somehow looked worse than TERA.

This PvP season has been a torturous experience. Literal rage quitters, people sitting in spawn, etc. CC definitely has to be played in short bursts. For my own sanity.

I‘d suggest to check on the DMG dealt people do at the end. I had some people with literally 0 DMG done in ranked and it screams to me like people wintrading. Other times there are people much higher in rank but still dealing marginal dmg compared to others. Either those are wintraders too or ranked is a real mess The report system is so frustrating too! Reporting needs to be much more accessible.

Oh, I do. I always try to score very high! highest dmg as whm and healing here, still lose! Everyone else's stats seem normal.

Perhaps in ranked there is win trading going on, but in casual I suspect it's more genuine rage.

I might. I typically favored Gods like Neith or Bastet, and just like any other game I had my mains that I mostly only played. If I do, I'll have to check out the new selection and see if there is anything else I'd like!
