SHITE2 still has less than half the playerbase Smite 1 had all the way up until May 2024, and even then you can go all the way to December 2024 until the current SHITE2 numbers are higher.

I would be okay with Konami taking over at this point and doing yugioh tier balancing in this game to whatever killGOON is doing.

There aren't any ecelebs left for hirez to suck up to, and catering to casuals gave them a +3% player growth. Beancounters will look at that and say "Data supports the casualisation of the game".

Last time I played smite it was against incon, and I missed like half of my chains, my adc dced, and I still won.
You should be able to carry against random sub masters.
Honestly probably the real issue is that at this point ranks are entirely meaningless because there is probably a pool of 200 ranked players out of the 1,000 people still playing smite. Someone could be silver and actually be bronze 5 or be plat and be a top 500. Most people quit long before this point. It's like the old days playing on curse waiting an hour for a ladder match.

>>1935770
There's no difference between silver and gold, they are both completely useless. Anyone in gold or below would have been bronze in Smite 1. I used to be gold/plat in Smite 1 and am Obsidian in Shite 2 ranks are inflated as fuck.

Bronze in smite is Diamond in shite 2.

What I am trying to say is old pros or good players from the start of smite aren't good and there is no reason to get good in shite 2 because only smite prime exists that pays and it is 7000 dollars weekly split amongst 5 people and in game currency. So basically you have to win every single tournament to make like 1400 a week and at that point you might as well get some wagie job. Its the same pay you would make being some middle managment retail wagie here. Deadlock however pays actual money in their tournaments and has a future cuz its a valve game. Not to mention its not trying to appeal to bad players by taking shit out like anti-heal and buffing tanks to the point where you cannot punish them for poor positioning.

I mean I was part of amateur leagues but then found out all of them are woke and left. Even if you show up to every scrim you are at best maybe playing 2-3 hours a week minimum.

Old staple forever games (CS, dota, league, TF2, etc), retro MMOs, fighting games, roguelikes, singleplayer offerings, yearly refreshes (CoD, Madden), and not much else.
>>
It's really funny that hi-rez operated two forever games, one of which was available on every single platform in existence, but decided to kill them both because 'it's literally impossible to work on them waaah, muh bugs, muh technological debt,' and now they're stuck with fucking smite 2, that's got just as many bugs, and will never ever ever EVER have even 5% the install base of SMITE and paladins, because it's literally impossible to make 2020s people give games a try unless you can penetrate into their discord communities.
Also, they dumpstered the moderately successful rogue company for seemingly no reason, and DKO was allowed to fizzle out before it even had a chance to breathe.

They always use weasel words like "highest performing" and "best retention smite 2's ever had", even though they really mean they went from 0.2% to 0.221% click through or something which they invariably cope about being "really good", as long as you don't compare it with the much more successful Smite 1 or Paladins, the only two games Hirez ever made that actually broke even.
>>
FACT: Lorez has ran every single one of their games into the ground.
See Tribes.
See Realm Royale.
See Paladins.
See SMITE.
>>
Yawn, wake me up when Smite 6 releases
>>
When you think about it, Smite Rivals was the first Smite game that wasn't the original Smite, so technically it was the real Smite 2, then they made Hand of the gods, which was Smite 3, Smite Blitz was Smite 4, Paladins had Grover in it, so it's half a Smite, then Realm Royale was another half, making 5, Smite 2 was actually Smite 6, and with Divine Tactics we're really on Smite 7 by now.

From what I understand the cope so far is that the game isn't released yet and advertisement campaign hasnt begun so we shouldn't pay attetion to the numbers.
But once Hirez ports all gods from S1 and polishes the game and rolls the ads then and only then Smite 2 will reach its full potential and glory.

tl;dr: trust the plan

Smite 1 was built off ao much spaghetti code that it made doing changes hard to do when so many variables and numbers were tied to each other in a super hard to trace way. At this point even if Smite 2 wasn't made they'd have to start from scratch or do an extreme cleanup.

Wards suck in this game. Too many places for ganks to happen from and warding deep in the jungle takes too much time for laners. I'm never gonna ward until wards get buffed. Smite devs will never buff wards though because they love pandering towards shitty junglers.

yeah looks onions too kek
>>
>>1981562
He still thinks it's better. He pretty much says the problem with the game is that the devs are focusing too much on trying to bring new players instead of bringing back Smite 1 players or Smite 2 players that stopped playing.
No pro scene, no exciting events, no cool twitch drops are his main concerns if I remember correctly.
>>
I feel like this is all cope.
When I look for games to play I'm not asking questions like
"What's their comp scene like"
"How many views do their streamers get"
or
"What's the loot drop situation on twitch"

Maybe I'm the odd one out who doesn't have that perspective?
For me I only think "Does this game look fun to play?"
>>
Maybe It's the aging population of twitch or just so happens to be the streams I hang out in. My experience is that twitch is for people who have mostly stopped playing the game they're watching. It's a retirement home for gamers. Like watching sports in the pub.

Nah, I geuinely believe that there will be few spikes as they roll up big updates, maybe even slightly above 10k but it won't save the game in the long run and by the next fall or even summer the numbers will be around 4k or less.

Path of Exile is a literal cult where they all spend $300 every 4 months. It's probably much lower for Smite.

Not the same type of game. Smite needs a billion players, or there won't be enough NPC meat to fill the game modes to the point paying players are entertained.

Hybrid scaling, active items, Gold Fury is 100% just Dragon at this point, minion lasthit mechanics, removal of core items / stats (Flat Pen, Liferip, Capped CDR, Stat Sticks etc), an interact button that nobody wanted then has been forgotten about, item descriptions that are fully stripped down yet even more complicated than the historical texts most Godtoons originate from, no death animations or win-loss screens, reworks / remodels are soulless dogshit, flashbang VFX, nu-art that completely throws out the style choices of the old art, and thats off of the top of my head. Essentially all the criticisms from nearly 2 years ago are still completely valid and unaddressed, and that's before the out-of-game stuff like monetisation. They banked entirely on leddit bootlickers telling them "it's just a lack of Godtoons bro, just double down and add more", and if they don't get a surge of returning players in January, they're fucked. Honestly, I think Smite 1 has more of a chance of getting a January surge, the thread's been pretty active, a lot of the old addicts are drifting in and out, we might even get racist pubs running again

It's not even mismanagement any more, it's just a plain bad game, and their everything is riding on it. Smite 1 might be stuck on a suboptimal Conquest map compared to S5 or S7's, but at least it's still Smite. It used to be that 20% of the playerbase just stuck with Smite over Shi2, but Shi2's been hemorrhaging so many players that at this point it's about a 1/3rd of Smite's overall playerbase is on Smite 1 despite it not getting any new content in over a year now.
If you want to cozy up by our trashfire with us, there's room.

Holy shit dude that's awful. Ban-aside, I was pleased that the game at least was getting a whole technical revamp (it was about time), but what you're describing is so much more. Are the map modes the same as the original's? How many godtoons are missing? Are there a few positives at least?

>I was banned from Smite 1 like a year ago
Welcome back home, VALHALLA KING

>how's their new game nowadays?
Dogshit.
Only upside is that it feels like they're banning less people in Smite 1 because they can't afford it (either losing the player, or moderating it).
Still pisses me off that all they had to do was NOTHING, they literally just had to port everything 1:1, with remodels / reworks are sparingly as possible. Literally no extra work needed, they have all the models and art just there, free. Their objective should have not been to fuck with shit that worked, but rather to ensure they weren't alienating their thousands of golden geese and to port everything over as faithfully as possible, THEN fuck with things.. But they just could not help themselves. Even picrel for example, I've not updated it in a while but ALL the portraits are have been redone, even the ones that look basically the same. ALL of them. Absolute waste of resources.
>>
>>2002968
>Are the map modes the same as the original's? How many godtoons are missing?
Cuckquest is still on a very shitty beta map (and will stay that way until next year), Arena + Joust/Duel are there (Arena is the same, Joust is now Arthurian), Assault is extremely barebones on the Cuckquest map. Siege / Clash / Slash are all gone as well as the party modes.
Half the godtoons aren't in yet, and half of the ones that are in are functionally unrecognisable.
>Are there a few positives at least?
All I'll say is just skim around and come to your own conclusions, while half the jewtube attentionwhores have left for greener pastures, I'm sure wek3n and inters3ct are still trying to squeeze the game for all that's left. I can go on all day about my opinions, but it's up to you. I'll just say that the few interesting ideas feel either invalidated or overridden by much worse ones. Didn't even get to mention shit like the lane teleporters or the action camera or the buff camp interact key or lane grass... yeah you get the idea.

Yeah this was back when Smite was entering its golden days. You have to be a special kind of tard as a developer to fuck up such a golden goose conceptually as Smite, with the few neat unique things it had. And yet it happened.

The only way the game could return to an at least stable form is for someone to come and buy it from lorez's hands. Straight up.

I don't get the players of this game. Fucking diamond shitters wondering why we're always losing and late to objectives and getting ganked when the enemy team each have 10+ wards placed while me and our jungler have placed 22 out of our teams 25 total wards.

It's the other half of the fucked up matchmaking. They're so used to getting carried by the system that they never improve.

Why do Bronzes like complaining about lack of wards so much?

because you've got fucking people in plat/diamond/obsidian who go 2-7 and wonder why they keep getting ganked and keep losing objectives and then post match show they've placed down 4 wards in a 30 minute game where you get a free ward every 90s and I'm fucking sick of it

Be more confident. You don't ask, you take, and in exchange you hand them kills on a platter (it's on them if they ignore the setup). Don't forget that if you feel like you're lingering too much and want to leave, you can drop by Solo for an extremely quick gank before backing ASAP if the opportunity is there (especially if Blue is coming up and Jungler can't confirm it for whatever reason, your Solo should appreciate it), or just tail Junglel if they want to go deep into enemy territory (especially to delete an enemy buff camp). You're not just supporting ADC/Mid, they're just your primary focus. By the time you're rotating after initial Duo laning phase, you're not as much a Support, as you are a fat jungler with less kill pressure.
Unless you're playing shi2, then idk how they changed it, I do know that they removed auras and made Supports into activecucks instead

This is not true at all hunters suck ass right now spectral is broken, nemean is broken. Lash is still broken regrowth striders are broken and a full built tank is sitting on 5k HP. Hunters are relegated to being obj burning bots now the whole 1v1 aspect between hunters is completely gone and you always get killed by an assassin 1v1 as well. Go look at any high MMR match and you will see hunters do less damage than a mage. I used to be a huge carry main and completely stopped playing it now for jungle because at least that role has an impact on the game.

And so we end down in gold because of solo deciding to ragequit. Winning in Smite doesn't require skill, it just requires you not to have the most braindead retards on your team that you have to carry.
When your team looks like

>adc - Gold 2
>jungle -Silver 1
>solo - Gold 3
>mid - silver 1
vs
>enemy supp - Plat 2 (party)
>enemy adc - Gold 1 (party)

Just fucking remove the god then no?
I'm seriously frustrated with this I don't like the design philosophy at all.

In my mind what makes a good MOBA game is fulfilling the fantasy of the archetype. A Mage that has a guaranteed multihit obviously WANTS to build on hit items because that makes sense with the fantasy. It feels very punishing to think of builds while itemizing in SMITE. It's not fulfilling the promise of an archetype.

I don't know maybe you need to rework items again or have them be something else. I really really dislike it when there's options to choose from but the option that makes sense has a hidden nerf behind it. Like you've been doing this with everything and the problem is rooted in mathematical multiplication always. A god that attacks fast is strong with an on every hit item so you nerf that God to not be good with the item. So then what is the fantasy build of that god?

It feels very bad to build into the gimmick of the God only to find out you've nerfed the gimmick. There are loads of examples of this. And you could obviously apply this nerf philosophy on multiplications to a plentiful amount of Gods is a ton of different ways.

Imagine if the nerf to Thoth was that his magic power decreases with range. On the fucking God that is supposed to be fulfilling that fantasy. This is not a strawman argument It's an illustration of a philosophy that nerfs a characters identity.
