[Megathread] Smite

[Wulfstan]

Smite is such a fun game, and the devs are so cool.

[General Vezax]

None of those were had an original concept within a popular genre, Riot just filled the void from old DotA and Smite will pioneer the future of moba games.

Considering what they did to their previous two games, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Their previous games were never successful, Smite is and it's still only in beta

Yeah, LoL is such a dull game it only averages at around 200k viewers during the week and sometimes breaks 500k during tournaments, while Smite is such a great and innovative game that only average 2k viewers can appreciate it.

I know the number of people watching streams is no indication of the quality of the game, but they are both MOBAs and if Smite was any good it would have had a lot more viewers.

I wonder how many views LoL had while it was in beta.

Smite has been open to play for everyone for a long time, so that excuse is just bad. I'm not flaming SMITE just fyi, I'm just disagreeing with your excuse.

[Wulfstan]

Maybe Smite has less viewers because people are playing it rather then watching?

[Airlick]

More, and streaming business in general was A LOT smaller than it currently is.

Also, as Grable said, Smite is in open beta, so this argument is 100% invalid.

Or maybe neither, since the game is bad.

[Wulfstan]

The game isn't bad you clearly haven't even played it.

[MrLordDariusCrowley]

If you don't like the game why waste time on a Megathread about Smite?
Go praise LoL somewhere that doesn't include insulting Smite.

Freddy Mercury skin.
his 1 ability makes him say another one bites the dust.
using his 2 makes him sing dont stop me now.
3, upon coming into contact with an enemy god their rear end size is increased by 50%. because fat bottomed girls you make the rockin world go round.
his 4 makes him ride a bicycle.

Agreed...on both counts. I feel like Smite really needs more representation. But I'm biased since it's my only MOBA at the moment!

Also, the bees are too good. Nu Wa should be interesting though, always love more supports. (I think she's a support at any rate)

[Dewcono]

SMITE itself is great.
They've been better off listening to the community than other MOBA publishers so far.

Listening to community =/= good game developers. At least not as a 100% rule.

Listening to good, well thought out ideas? Good.
Listening to "THIS CHAMP BEAT ME THEY OP NERF NOW PLS"? Awful.

this is sounding an awful lot like apollo... Which I suck at., for some reason im just not good with him, must be because slick shot looks so awesome. I'm just saying.

I like smite a lot more than any other MOBA, The third person view really fits me because I hate isometric views.... hate them. and the mythology is great.

Bees got nerfed thank god... still AMC is a bastard.

Hi rez has been listing to a lot of the community and interacting with them, heavily I might add.

[Aherooffools]

I'm having a blast on Smite. 9/10 easy. Just went 25 as Loki lol. I love the way this game feel in third person yet a MOBA.

[Drikkink]

I'm having trouble with clicking to attack. Is it supposed to take like 5 clicks for an attack to register?

[Blood Fox]

the 3rd person makes it for me.
I love loki but for some reason i end up playing him all shy

also no there's lag every once in awhile.

The basic attacking takes a bit to get used to. If you just hold down the attack button (Left mouse) it'll auto-chain your attacks for you.

It's because Loki hits like a truck but is one of the squishiest gods in the game. I haven't had much lag trouble yet. Maybe try turning your graphics down a bit? It might help, idk :P.

also, if you're playing Loki, don't dive unless you know you've got the kill. I normally use my vanish then ult onto them, hit my assassinate, and by that time they're either dead or about to be with like 2 auto attacks.
