It still would be for turn speed/aiming reasons.

All matches have been terrible today. I think that they changed it so that support always sucks hard even though nobody ever wanted to support anyway.

Jandroid is super creepy.
Agreed. I used to dislike him but I tried him again and now he's probably my favorite god. He can be an absolute menace in the right hands.

I bought two chests trying to get the Art one and came up empty (at least I got other skins instead of wards). I want the Merc one too.

I hate how Jandroid has two VGS commands that say "Be careful".

Is he really the worst?
I tried playing Sobek again and he still feels inadequate. I don't really know what to do with him. I feel like he could use another buff, but I'm probably just shit with him.
EDIT: I just mean in general usefulness. He's great at countering certain gods, but when you're just playing casuals it's like. Eh? Feel free to toss me some tips though.

Sylvanus is fine you just have to hit with your stuff and play properly now. You can't just camp wave and spam wisps to win.
Sobek is a bit tricky to play since his dash attack is blocked by minions and he burns mana like a warrior but without bluestone pendant. You have to buy tons of mana pots for a start. I guess that the main reason to pick sobek would be to counter a heal heavy team.

I would not say that Sylvanus is trash. Sure, he can't push the lanes early game but he is still great at what he is supposed to do and that is to set up the kills for his team.
His whisps together with a Lotus Crown gives quite a lot of protections that can really help out in team fights too.

Herc is so silly. I just feel bad when I get him in assault. You just play him as if you give no fucks because you don't.
I'm sorry you guys wanted to hide under phoenix with Ra's heal? *tower dives with weakening*
Oh look a penta. So dumb.

It's the best when you are against Herc in Assault that has a Stone of Gaia and some other support got Sovereignty and no one but you try to get anything anti-heal. No matter how much you poke he will almost never go below 50%.
People should know by now that Herc can be an unstoppable beast if he gets ahead a bit. He isn't that hard to counter if you try to build a little differently to fit in a Divine Ruin and Brawlers Beatstick along with a Weakening. But most people don't want to do that. *sigh*

I need to start playing with you guys. Trying to knock out my daily bonuses across everything is fucking frustrating when so many bad players are playing now. Glad the game is more popular, but dyaaam the stuff that comes with that xD
This game sure was something. https://account.hirezstudios.com/smitegame/match-details.aspx?match=135120629
I really love Ymir and he is just so awesome in Assault. I was wrecking fools all over the place early game, but unfortunately our Ra thought it was better to never actually heal us. I had no real problems surviving, but because of the lack of heal I was basically forced to pick up Gaia when I could have taken a damage item and finish the match way sooner.
And then there's the active choices for pretty much everyone, but that can most likely be explained with the account levels. A Ra that rarely healed and me with the single Salvation. Woo!
It was a fun game, but Ra really got on my nerves. But what can you expect from Russians..

Looks awesome. I hope they don't mess with his voice pack though. Ymir's is probably one of the best.

Ymir looking like he's made of sapphires in that art work. I like it, though. His new club in particular is great looking. 'Was never a fan of the big ice chunk that Ymir used. It'll be nice to see the new skin in action.

Bellona looks amazing. The best part about her is she's not oversexualized. I am really happy with her aesthetic plus she's a female warrior, pretty cool.
She also looks like a blast to play.

Give sun wukong some of that disarm. thanks.
Oh great, we can't Aegis anymore out of those Janus portals? Getting dropped with the portal and popped with the projectile hurts, goddamnit (godsdamnit?)
It is so fun building him for damage. People are like THAT HURTS WHY DOES THE ENEMY TANK HURT WHY

Yeah and you don't really need to get much to output a lot of damage either. Void Stone alone makes you very scary.

Sweet. I was hoping the Ymir we saw in the CG trailer wasn't just artistic license and was a tease at the remodel.
Bellona looks awesome though I was hoping for more armor like the concept art. She still looks cool though. Love the multiple weapons.

That's the first thing I said when they showed her.

Damn. I finally got back to playing the first god I learned the game with, Hades.
He's so much fun now. I really enjoy a god that can bully the lane and he's always been good at that.

I'm liking assassins. Bought Loki yesterday and doing these damn surveys for gems is killing me.
I really don't like assassins.
This shit just isn't for me.
For me it's Guardian > Hunter > Mage > Warrior (depending on god, Herc goes above hunters on this list) >>>>> Assassins
And I think it would be easier and less wasted time (IMO) to just save up for the god pack than to do surveys and shit just to afford a god every now and then.

What's the difference between Hunter and Assassin?
Spiritreaver
Member
In short, Hunters are ranged auto attack focused gods whereas assassins are melee.
Assassins usually utilize a combo of abilities and auto attacks to get quick kills and get out asap. While hunters tend to to clean up team fights as their have crazy late game damage just from their basic attacks, and can attack from afar.
There's more complex differentiators but that's it really.

Nah the surveys are for gems so i can get the good skins lol.
400 gems is 8 dollars or I can just do surveys for an hour or two. The surveys do get annoying though because sometimes they don't give you your gems or you keep being disqualified for them.

Agni is really fun. Especially in arena. I can clear creep waves so quickly, and firebomb enemies from afar.

The feels when you're mid and no one rotates to mid harpies but the other team has a full rotation.
Just take my lane, thanks.
Just take my lane, thanks.
Unless there's free gems on the line I usually stay away from conquest because of stuff like this. Pre-made or nothing really. Siege and Assault is good enough for me.
Spiritreaver
Member
Yeah I can understand that. I'm not a huge fan of conquest, but since season two started I've been playing it more.
I almost only play mid. I solo/support if I have to. Mid is really frustrating because you can be a great laner, but if your team doesn't have your back in the early game, it will pretty much ruin your fun.

Can't wait to play Bellona. I'm usually on top of things but I missed the PTS and didn't get to check her out. Reading her skills tho.....she sounds broken as hell.
Warriors are my favorite classes of Gods to play so I'm hype. And a female warrior at that...doap.
If you don't trust your team (and you shouldn't if you're just playing casuals and no one is on curse) play passive. After you back grab a couple wards and place'em around the mid harpies on each side, then you can be aggressive on your own. You probably know these things, just sayin.
