| A moment of silence for us, who've been playing Smite since forever and still don't have a penta Posted: 21 Feb 2017 07:10 AM PST Playing since june 2012, conquest exclusively, no penta. #foreverjustquadra #crymeariver #lostallhope #hashtagsarestupid
But seriously, it's sad. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 21 Feb 2017 10:12 AM PST Played a ranked Joust game, my friend and I are both around Plat I. We got put with a teammate that we enjoyed playing with so we partied up with them, only to discover we couldn't play with them again because they were in Silver. Similarly, I recently had a game where I played against 2 Diamond players and a Masters while we were 2 Plats and a Gold. That should never happen in the first place, but as the title says, if the game prevents you from purposefully teaming up with these people then it should not allow itself to put you with/against them without your permission.

| HiRez has done an amazing job at making Gods viable Posted: 21 Feb 2017 09:57 AM PST Mechanically speaking, it's very difficult to make 80+ unique Gods, and make them all viable at all times, yet in season 3, every single God has been viable in some kind of way (With the exception of maybe 1 or 2). It's dumb how people complain that X god is not viable, and that Y god is OP, then the meta changes and they complain about the exact opposite. But by changing the meta, more Gods are "good" picks over a long course of time. So basically, what I'm saying is - Good job HiRez :D [link] [comments]  |

| Add more dialog between gods ! Posted: 21 Feb 2017 08:51 AM PST Imo these are my favorite voice lines in the game . Its interesting and funny too. I would like gods to talk to Each other on the same team ( much like overwatch) It would take some work but it would just make SMITE that much better. Ex to what I'm talking about is when like Loki kills Thor and or vise versa and they pretty much roast Each other [link] [comments]  |

| What ever happened to the free cutesy chest weekend? Posted: 21 Feb 2017 02:20 PM PST It was delayed due to console not having the season 4 patch. I don't mean to complain since it was going to be free content, but is there any word as to when it will happen? [link] [comments]  |

| The problem with Nemesis's Shield, (with Math) and how to fix it. Posted: 21 Feb 2017 10:38 AM PST Retribution is a funny skill, one that's been through a lot of changes. The original was quite OP, 1 second of invulnerability and healing/reflecting 30-50% of damage mitigated no matter what. You can see Release Nemesis's shield here where eating a Kukulkan ult (then Ao Kuang in season 1) healed Nemesis for 1150 Health and reflected 885 Magical Damage back at Ao Kuang. Retribution also healed you for 100% of NPC damage at all ranks, and reflected damage from all sources, including towers. The Hard CC cleansing the shield was put on Retribution with this in mind in order to counter the invulnerability and unlimited healing it offered. To remedy this, Retribution was nerfed a lot, from 12s to 18s in cooldown, and making it so that Fire Giant and Gold Fury could no longer trigger the heal. Eventually it was reworked into a shield with Health and basically functions the same as it does today, only healing and reflecting damage from gods. However, that god-only limitation and the percentage heal and damage reflect on a shield with set Health makes Retribution hot garbage for the first few ranks. In fact Retribution was such hot garbage after that change the heal effect needed to be increased from 30-50% to 60-100%. Why is it hot garbage you ask? It is the briefest shield in the game, at 2s. But here, have some math to illustrate. Retribution
But see, there's a problem with having Retribution scale twice, once with shield Health and again with the percentage scaling. To wit:
But let's not forget the shield itself has health, so to factor in the Shield's effective health (assuming you've taken enough damage to be healed AND it's damage solely from Gods):
This means the first rank of Retribution is only 16% of the effective health the shield offers at max rank, and the healing and damage reflect are only 12% as effective. The shield heals for 60 Health, reflects 30 damage to gods, and has 100 Health itself at the first rank. And to get the ability's FULL benefit you MUST be taking damage from God sources. You can hardly justify spending the Mana. Let's look at the effectiveness curve of other shields: Raven Shout
Stone Shield
Other shields in Smite are much more linear, much more predictable and consistent in their effectiveness and start much higher than 10-16% effectiveness. However, because of how Retribution's mechanics work, Retribution is only 50% as effective in terms of maximum Health vs. non-god sources. This is drastically less compared to other Shields in the game, which have the same effective health vs. all damage sources. This makes any non-god damage essentially twice as powerful against her while her shield is active. To remedy this and make it much less hot garbage early-game, Retribution 3.0: Retribution 3.0
These changes make Retribution much more linear, more predictable and consistent a skill. Early game the shield is more effective, and more reliable. Here's Retribution 3.0's math compared to old Retribution:
These improvements will allow Nemesis to more reliably get benefit from her shield, give the shield increased effectiveness early-game, and make it more consistent vs. all damage sources. Retribution is the briefest shield at 2s, and Hard Crowd Control still has the capacity to strip her of her shield completely. It's not like Retribution doesn't have plenty of counterplay, it's high-time it behaved in a fairer fashion toward the Nemesis player and wasn't nigh-worthless from ranks 1-3. TL;DR: Nemesis's shield is too inconsistent in it its effectiveness and ramps up too quickly with levelling, leaving the first few ranks of the skill terrible. Make her shield heal for 100% damage she takes rank 1, and reflect 50% rank 1. The shield already has scaling Health from 100-500, making it scale on two different percentage-values makes it too weak early. [link] [comments]  |
