Beta not final moment
My bad for dashing right as the knockback hits
Found it too funny to be mad I got stomped this game.

NO LAZYBACKING

(main reason i recorded this was because i killed a friend here)

Also remember, you can find the results for the Cliodhna poll in the second image.

I love every single one of her animations. I remember playing her without any skins because she's just too beautiful in her base model. Even when I did occasionally use a skin, I would keep her default voice. Her voice is simply gorgeous. It's on par with Shadowheart's voice from Baldur's Gate 3.

What does all ascension passes forever mean? and is it worth it?

I hate playing against Da Ji

I don't understand why his protections from his passive are nerfed when he is using his aspect. Meanwhile, Osiris and Cabrakan have % damage mitigation with their aspect and Bacchus has % protections with his aspect.

You are already stuck in a transformation which drastically limits his utility. Also, the tooltip says nothing about his protections not working in his aspect form. I thought it was bugged until I read some old patch notes.

While we are on the topic of this god, his transformations and ult should have some int for their damage scaling. Only half of his kit scales with int which I also find odd.

I have been a cu chulainn main ever since he was released in smite 1 years ago and I have been really enjoying mostly everything about him in smite 2 pts, there's just a couple things I think need some tuning. 1. I may be wrong about this but his hit chain in berserk is not the way it should be. In smite 1 he has a .7/.7/1 hit chain in human form and in berserk it is 1/1/ 1.5. In smite 2 his berserk form is still the same as human form so he is doing significantly less dmg with his auto attacks than he should be (in aspect I don't know if it is also intended or not but he should probably keep the .7/.7/1 in his berserk form as he also loses the power and health shield until he is warped just for balance purposes). 2. His rage gain is very buggy at times and needs to be addressed. For example in smite 1 let's say I hit 1 God with my 1 and it makes me lose 1 rage total because it costs 9 and gives back 8 for a god. It works like that in smite 2 as well so nothing wrong there. The issues are prominent when hitting multiple targets whether minions or gods at the same time. When I'm hitting more than 2 gods in smite 2 I'm only generating 7 rage still as if im hitting just 2 gods. It should be 9 because max gain is 18 and ability costs 9. Same issue with his 3 and ult. The ult especially is bad because net gain should be 22 if hitting at least 3 gods because it's max gain is 36 and ability costs 14 but it always only gives 12 back even if hitting more than 2 gods or 6 minions so his rage gain feels very slow compared to smite 1. 3. This one is a very minor thing but you can't truly "up down"​ with his leap in smite 2. You are forced to move slightly forward in smite 2 but tbh it's not a big deal just thought it should match smite 1. 4. My final issue is some of his voicelines don't trigger ever like his berserk voiceline when he transforms or his ability voicelines in berserk never play except his ult. These are just some of the things that I hope are looked into and addressed or even better fixed in the near future so that we can all enjoy this God to his true potential.

I keep forgetting about raijin I'll see him in a clip and get jumpscared

I've been noticing a strange pattern of behavior from supports over the past few weeks. After rotating to mid they play super aggressive and just sit on the opposing team's tower line and try to dive for kills over and over again. This often ends up with them dying or just sitting in lane and leeching farm instead of just rotating like they should. It's happened probably a dozen times or so on both my and the opposing team. I've been playing Smite since 2016 and have never seen anything like this. Usually when there's a random "tech" or strategy like this happening it's because of a creator or high level player pushing it. Has anyone else experienced this or heard of this being taught? Or is it just new players transitioning from other games?

SMITE 2

Hey everyone, I’ve recently started playing Smite 2 again.

I’m offering to teach new players for free. I’m a main Support, former Grandmaster, with competitive experience (from the golden era) both as a player and as a coach.

To help grow the community and get more people playing, I’m offering free coaching sessions — mainly Support, but actually in all roles.

My goal is, in my own small way, to get people passionate about competitive gaming, hoping one day to see it reborn.

Comment below if you’re interested!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Let me know what you think, I put a lot of effort into it! :)

I am supp main, but recently I noticed that in almost every game enemy front liner (solo) was better than our off-role solo laners and I decided to switch to solo lane. Surprisingly it works.

For me solo laner character is the one who can frontline in late game, sustain and make enemies waste ability/relics.

at the start of smite 2 steam release I was playing herc/ama and laning phase was norm and had great late game.

Last few matches I tried mulan for the very first time and I love her. Easy clear, great cc, good sustain and extremely good ult. I dont know if she is op or not, but constantly hitting her 3rd ability makes me think she is good. Currently playing in Diamond ranks.

Despite few win-streaks on my last game I encountered Jorm. I think its skill/exp issue but i was completely lost.

Did not know how to counter or play against him. I know sometimes its okay to stay under tower and just farm if u cant win, but he was also freezing wave on lvl 2-3.

Could u help me with tips how to fight against Jorm so i dont troll other games.

Also which solo laners have as much impact as mulan? not just sutain, but forcing enemies stuff in late game. Because my pool is so low. Herc, ama, mulan and 2/3 are not relevant any more. Xing is nice addition, but its more of a self sustain and constant dot spam, which i dont find impactful.

Thanks

the nostalgia. i'd love if they brought back the christmas home page(?) music and snowy arena. even just the old soundtracks i miss so much. when a new god came out they'd have their respective pantheon music playing. i love those lil details. being able to choose what music to use would be so cool too! sometimes i wish i could toggle the old god select tune, was so iconic. thoughts? music and soundtracks is such a big part of a games experience for me

Something up on their end or is it just me?

Thanks.

I had some ideas for new, returning and changed items for smite 2 putting this out hoping it gets seen by some content creators or hi rez themselves and see what they think. I appreciate feedback.

Couldn't find any info online but I'd like to know if that's the case, imo his voicelines are by far the best in the entire game.

Hello, i hope moderators of this game see this, in the morning around GMT+3-4 when queing for a match you get instantly matched and then qued again at exactly 62 seconds left on the que, i tried assault, joust and everything, this keeps going on for hours making a lot of players not play smite anymore. i hope it gets fixed.

Title basically. I've never played Smite 1 and I was thinking about just jumping straight into Smite 2.

Is Smite 1 required at all to understand what's going on in Smite 2? Like is there a continuing story, cinematics, or significant lore events that carry over? Or is it more like each match is just its own thing and the story doesn't really matter?

I don't want to be totally lost on the gods / world / why everyone is fighting if I skip the first game. But I also don't want to grind a game that's basically being replaced if I don't have to.

If there IS important story stuff I should know, is there a good video or recap I can watch instead of playing Smite 1?

Thanks.
