Smite will never die
...but SHITE 2 will
It will never be truly born in the first place
When's Fafnir?
Such a shame smite is on it's last legs. I really do not like playing top down mobas.
dead threaddead gamedead company
If smite 2 featured Fafnir's wonderland as one of its game modes, the game would be doing way better.
uhm, bros... how do we cope?
SMITE is gaining numbers now, bros. We're so fucking back.
>>1916062SHITE2 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.Remember that Hirez and all the e-celebs were spouting that smite was "dying" since at least 9.5 in may 2022
>>1916381Smite 2 is up 5% we are back.
>>1916381what happened in january 2024 that made so many people go back to Smite?
Is there any point in grinding either game when the company is set to go under?
>>1916776New season + cross gen skins
>>1916784The only reason to play either game now is because you find them to be fun.
>>1916886but nobody has fun playing Smite...
>>1917362AltBlue has lots of fun playing smite.
If Hi-rez ever wants this game to grow they got to ditch the casual audience. >have console shitters in pc player games>remove anti-heal and reduce the skill expression in the game>buff tanks which always will be given to the most garbage players >buff them to such a comical degree that you cannot even punish them for poor positioning 30+ mins into the game>make every ability easier to hit>pro scene effectively dead>keep adding dog shit to appease noobs>action cam>cc buffering >only have one relic so backliners will always die because they all go beads>admit to always overstating new gods making it miserable to play against if they are not banned in ranked because "we want people to try new god xd">aspects are 90% of the time a strict upgrade to the base kitI would be okay with Konami taking over at this point and doing yugioh tier balancing in this game to whatever killGOON is doing.
>>1919516She is literally me.
>>1919519>She is literally me.
No matter how dead smite is, I will always really, really, really like this meme.
>Dev wanted to add 1v1 duel ult in SMITE for a decade >settled on adding one for a guy that doesn't even need it (kills you in 1 second upon entering lamp)
idk who AltBlue is
Is there an AltBluepill we can use?
>>1919516There 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".Hirez is fucked no matter what at this point.
Smite 2 will be saved when they add Vamana, so people can go OOOOOOOOH YEAAAAAAAAH again.
Smite OC peaked with this image.
Now thats a dead game
>>1921396its been years since altblue, dolize, wubb, raptor, gallon, genlog, or malcom have posted a clip. smgen is dead.
>>1921396it peaked with this actually
>>1923278One day... The sun will shine on us again...
Official AltBlue Bump™
>pubs were 7 years ago
>Chaac's last win was 12 years ago.
Despite being release in....
Despite making up less than 2% of the total population, Chronos mains are responsible for 90% of opponents' ragequits
Played SMITE 2 and Apollo just on shot me in the tank lane Played SMITE and manikins Sol did the same. This is why I stopped playing.
>AltBlue hitting GM was 5 years ago
What if Chaac had a chainsaw axe
What if OOOHOHOHOHO AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA OOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOH AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
If you can't win with Chaac you're just a little girly man.
I am a Chaac announcer pack enjoyer.
the only people that still play smite are the angry tf2 mains that browse the steam forum and get angry about pictures I made like a year or two ago
>>1921396
Imagine being lo-rez and leaving two gods with zero cosmetics just as the game goes EOS.
Imagine wasting 12 years playing shite
Imagine owning the tribes ascend cosmetics in smite.
such coldso smit
>>1928765>>1928780stop mocking altblue...
>>1928765Time isn't truly wasted if you were having fun
>>1929216I got 2 boyfriends through smite.One threatened to dox me on valentines day.The other became a sex slave for a lot of money. Thanks Smite!
As a complete new player, should I play Smite 1 or 2?
>>1929646wubb...
>>1929740You should play paladins
AlterationBlue, I...
>>1930211>Instead of playing dead game 1 or 2 you should play dead game 3
The year is 2035. Fafnir has finally been ported over to SHITE 2. However there are only 100 players left and queue takes 2 hours.
>>1930301Don't underestimate us Paladins fans! There are tens of us! Maybe even dozens!
>>1930404My kind of game.
>>1930404I will play him as an adc.
They brought back wandering markets, bros. Smite 2 is saved!
>>1929646raptor...
This meme was ahead of its time.
>>1930964They must be really desperate considering they axed it in the first place for being "too good"
>>1932670They also didn't provide a new ways to spend grind currency, so people stopped doing their daily games and effort grinding.
Game be like "Oh you are about to rank up? here let me stack the team to be so out of your favor that no matter what you do you lose. "Quality matchmaking there rabbitfurnigger. Get this dog shit gold and silver duo q out of my game.
>>1933241This game is actually a joke. Holy fuck I am going back to deadlock fuck shite 2. I get a gold and plat on my promo game to obs...
>>1933667Last 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. https://youtu.be/VdIq6_GMXZs
Just play Diablo 2 instead.
>>1933241The SR of both teams is pretty much the same?
>>1935667one team has the 1400 SR shitter but its all balanced out, truly lukewarm IQ take here.
>>1935770There'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.
AltBlue proves that grandmaster in smite is equal to silver in smite 2,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU7Ga7qTLDUI just downloaded smite 1. Feeling nostalgic as fuck, so many moments lost in time, like tears in the rain.
>>1935797Yeah I know that but I have been on my obsidian promo ffor like 10 games now and its annoying always getting sold. I just want to hit demigod and go back to a fun game like deadlock.
>I want to hit my desired rank in the game I don't think is fun, so I can go back to playing games I do find to be fun.
>>1938438Yes but I also hate aspects of deadlock like the parry mechanic.
AltBlue is Grandmaster in my heart.
AltBlue will forever be the grandmaster of memes.
Proccing my gin.
I'll drink a gallon of milk in your honour
It's over for real.
I'm trying to find quality bed sheets made from all-natural cotton or linen, and it's proving almost as difficult a task as having fun while playing ranked.
hey guys, gonna hit some clips today
>>1942201Proofs?
>>1942201
>>1942201This never happened.
>>1942201Please provide evidence to support your claims.
Muumagi, I know you are here and I know what you are.
uwu status?
What's Altblue's holdings at?
Inspiring stuff.
>>1947035Realm Royale 2 when lorez?
Does animated AI generated pornography of Scylla exist? Where she has legs, obviously
>>1947784Ask in palg for someone to generate it for you.
>>1947784Dolize made it and posted it here but got banned whenever he did.
I just want to go back in time ten or so years, so I can tell myself not to waste ten or so years playing hi-rez games.
>>1949489As fucked as it is now, I still would. Smite 1 came at just the right time in my life for maximum enjoyment>southern hemisphere summer>got accepted into a pit orchestra (flute)>rehearsals by day, SMITE by night, my poor login streak suffering any time we had a full day of performances (3x 4 hour shows, starting at 8am and getting out of the place at half midnight)All that's behind me now...
Bros, they're adding agility relic to ranked.
>when duo/supp/solo are a triple queue and play the game like the two other players don't existqueuing with friends shouldn't be possible in ranked
It should be possible, but in its own ranked que for partied players.
>>1950098It's fucking disgusting. I'm getting farmed because the duo queue are buddies and would rather play with each other so I'm basically forced to 1v2 the mid lane while also getting constantly ganked by the jungle
>>1950117Just carry harder, bro.
Shite2bros...your game...
>>1951339>minus infinity% playercount over the last 24 hoursOH NONONONONO
>>1942201Where the fuck are they, anon?

BANSHEES OWE ME SEX
>>1952517Sick ass play, my bro.
>>1952517umm sis you're supposed to be playing shit 2 or something
Hi-rez peaked at 7421.
He's in smite 2 now.
You WILL play quick play arena, because it will spread to every part of smite 2, whether you like it or not.
It costs 7500 diamondgemcrystaltoonbucks for the new animated name flair.
Why did they do it?
Buy the gemeralds
It costs 400,000 gemeraldollarbucks to keep this game operating for 12 seconds.
A sailor went to diamondgembucktoon to see what he could diamondgembucktoon but all that he could diamondgembucktoon was the bottom of the deep blue diamondgembucktoon
I like gemeralds more than bucktoons.
Gemeraldiamonds.
Are warriors allowed in Solo yet or should I come back and check in another year.
>>1956587yeah in smite 1 idk about shit 2 cause im never playing that
>>1952517>no laugh emote spam
>>1957260We don't do that toxic shit here, amigo. This is a wholesome threadgeneral.
>>1957360almost every single one of genlog's clips had him laugh spamming thoughbeit
>>1958609He's reformed now.
>>1958659Proofs?
>>1956736In SMITE one It's manikens Sol dominating for the foreseeable future.
>>1959122This never happened.
>>1959393It's why I stopped playing SMITE. I just want to play Osiris vs Bellona but all that gets played in Solo is hunters.
i-is smite 2 good yeti still miss king arthur...
>>1959416https://board.smitedatamining.com/board/voicepack/smite/vgs_monkey/SoundNodeWave/vox_vgs_emote_no.ogg
>>1959416No, but it's not gotten any worse either.
Ah Muzen Cab ported to smite 2 when?
>>1960200look at how many skins that godtoon has compared to other godtoons and you'll be able to answer your question
>>1960395He has a fair number of godtoonskins, actually, and a food skin, so he's probably secretly a dev favorite.
Geb.
>>1960543Post Nut.
>>1960757I dont think Chrono Trigger has a parallel to Nut, sorry.
AND BASTET!
We all love smite 2 here
Remove the 2 and you'd be right
>>1961166FACT: This is 100% true.>>1961446FACT: This is 0% true.
Well reached masters in shite 2 now I just want to play deadlock cuz its actually way more fun and takes more skill.
>>1961496>reached masters in shite 2Proofs?
>>1961496AltBlue reached GM and you can't?
>>1961060Bastet-chan is so cute.
Growth has stagnated.
>>1961551I reached gm in shite 1 but I can't bring myself to hit demi in this doo doo game. >>1961498https://tracker.gg/smite2/profile/steam/76561198995498444/overview?gamemode=conquest-ranked&season=3
>>1934356incon is not good he was just around in the early days of smite 1 but then got booted by his own team cuz he was that bad. Here is me farming the three time adc champ Zapman 3 levels down. https://clips.twitch.tv/SpikyBraveWoodpeckerHassaanChop-6vMIZCbvBfa7Ldh_Also, here is me farming christdickson in jg to the point he f6d and crashed out in his stream.
>>1961628What 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'm gonna dedicate even more of my life to videogames, because I totally have it in me to make it as a pro, and when I'm rich I will finally start playing the games I actually like.
Post your playtime, kitten.
>>1961627>Ullr abuser
>>1961653I 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. The thing is there is no real good incentive to become "pro" in smite anymore whereas deadlock you can actually make a name for yourself and get real money. >>1962168My god pool is massive, I play meta because I want to win in ranked.
>buffing tanks to the point where you cannot punish them for poor positioning.BRO ITS FUCKING TANK THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT YOU ARE LEVEREGING YOUR HP TO POSITION AGRRESSIVELY!?!?!?!? I HATE SQUISHIES SO FUCKING MUCH ITS UNREAL ABSOLUITE BRAINLESS APES
>tanks hiding behind the backline because they cant step up into the enemy squishies>this is optimal game balance and good actually
>>1962229>tanks needing you to peel because they can't tank is le good
>>1961618Hirez are still coping about their retention being worse than Smite 1's because "there are more games to play these days", as if Smite 1 wasn't competing with a gorillion mainstream games at the time compared to the current dead state of the industry
>>1961634We live in an ai algorithm controlled era now.You can't have a game with the word dead in the title. It removes it from all search results. You might as well tell people to upload gore
I used to come home from school to watch SPL. Then years later I used to come home from work to watch SPL. And then everything just fucking died holy fuck.
>>1962229>tank meta happens>game diesNo one likes playing tanks or when tanks are brainless where they can click nemean and punish carry players for hitting their shots.
>>1962293There hasn't been a tank meta for the entirety of SHITE2's run
>>1962279Sanitized western games aren't competitive in the current era. That's all there's to it.
let me fucking farm retards. If the enemy has got 4 levels on me, let me farm up and stop fighting unless you want to fight 4v5
>>1963095Farm this.
>>1963283I don't want to farm her. I want to proc her.
cousin wants me to play smite 2 im going to send him a poop emoticon

>>1965234Erez
>>1965234It's probably a hail mary to keep the company from going under. SHITE2 can't be salvaged.
>>1964689is this genre even relevant nowadays?
come to think of it... what even are the current trends on hte market? mobas are fading, hero shooters are fadin, card games are fading, mmos are fading, brs are fading, extraction shooters are in a weird spot where they never became trully big outside of couple of themwhat's left? roguelikes and survival games?what can hirez latch on?
>>1966804Yes.Oh phones.
>>1966821The online-only pvp soulslike will save lorez for real this time
>>1966821Old 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.

Just you fuckers wait for Tribes IV.
And Jetpack Fighter... 2!
>>1969765They 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
