Relegations spot

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 01:54 PM PST

Hello, I am Sibi and I play for the Optimus Gang, a team that went 4th in the Open Brackets. Just today we found out that dignitas signed Vnt, and instead of giving the spot to us, like this picture from THEIR website clearly says ( https://gyazo.com/9d63852eafe654e6f64dddc49f00d559 ) , they gave it to Shadownightmare, with the excuse that they are doing it because dignitas kicked them out too late and they didn't have a chance to play Open Brackets. Now, you tell me, why should me and my team not play relegations because their organisation kicked them out when it was too late, in what way is that my problem?? They didn't play any games to deserve that spot, but Hi Rez gave it because they are biased af, and just because they were SPL they deserve the shot in relegations instead of the team that played open brackets and got 4th place?? I really don't understand the logic behind that move, but hey, Hi Rez says that if they were SPL they must be given the shot, not sent to smite combine like any other normal team, lets fuck over the cc team, despite us saying that they will play relegs if any of the teams dont have a roster during the beginning of the open brackets. I would like to hear your opinion on this, since Hi Rez clearly doesn't care about mine.

Combat Blink on a 750 gold cooldown is one of the stupidest thing Hi-Rez has put in the game yet.

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 06:38 PM PST

It really doesn't make any sense. When combat blink was an active in the game it was on a 180 second cooldown. 3 full minutes. Now at late game, the enemy adc, jungler or whatever can dash into you, and when they get low turn around and blink out, then run back to base and get a new combat blink.

I think the best remedy for this is to put a cooldown on being able to purchase multiple in a row to prevent this consumable being abused. Players should be punished for having poor positioning, not have a get out of jail free card.

edit. English is hard

Dragon Knight Ao Kuang Drawing By Yours Truly

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 02:08 PM PST

So with the new "Queen of Hearts" Nox skin incoming and "Jockey" Loki being associable to "The Joker" card, why not make a card skin theme?

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 01:58 PM PST

  • Guardian: Cabrakan "King of Diamonds"

Imagine him with the "diamonds" as his shields, or even 2 card decks, with white hair and beard, and a crown

  • Warrior: Erlang Shen "Ace of Pikes"

His spears has a pike on its tip

  • Hunter: Xbalanque "Jack of Clovers"

Imagine him throwing cards with his autos

What do you think? Got any better ideas?

A very important tip for ranked.

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 11:56 AM PST

Dear players,

When you queue ranked and get into lobby, please say something(your role,what u can't play etc) because it is SERIOUSLY useful. Don't just sit there and wait because it's seriously annoying for first pick especially when you have top picks that are open. The amount of people who get into roles because they don't speak and then feed is absurd. Also, if you are nice(this part doesn't really matter) and communicate(very important), you will probably have higher chances of winning.

Thank you,

A fellow ranked player that experienced this first hand, multiple times.

Just played against a 3,300 health Goobis, still with 700+ power.

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 12:09 PM PST

Gem of Isolation, fully stacked Warlock's Sash, and the new Book of the Dead gave this Anubis 2720 health, plus a permashield that brought him up to 3,264 health. Now I'm not saying this is OP at all, but he was literally unkillable at the end of the game, with more health than his tanks, and a million times the damage. With Bancroft's I'd say he had about an average 750 power in fights, not counting potions and buffs. Yeah, yeah teamwork blah blah blah. I (Xing) ulted him into my team. My whole team. Zeus, Morrigan, Tyr, Loki. He popped beads and then proceeded to sit inside a Zeus ult and just ult and lifesteal and just slaughter 3 of them at once, and get his shield back. Honestly they were fucking shit throughout, but it would be nice to have some sort of chance of winning. All I can do is sit there, pop med to delay their deaths by 1 second, and face the entire enemy team alone.

Nike Does Not Need another Nerf

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 06:57 PM PST

These last few Nike nerfs were understandable, she did a lot of dmg and her passive/ Ult were wildly OP when she was released. I was totally okay with her losing 10% power, I was also okay with her ult no longer making enemies look like they were walking through quicksand after being combined with her 2. I don't know why the hell they are nerfing her cooldowns though.

Every other warrior in smite has 2 or more damaging abilities (except ama but she makes up for it with a huge dmg resistance stat and the fact that she cannot be cc'd out of it). Other warriors can stagger their abilities to clear or intersperse them with basics to finish a wave.

Nike has 1. Just 1. Her 3 is good, but she is not using that leap to clear unless she's being played by a dummy, or has no other choice. Her 1 came up fairly often, but only with full CDR, which any good player is going to build on her already. So imo HiRez is steadily erasing her damage, utility and boxing potential with the nerfs to her 1 and to her passive.

What I think will happen is She'll end up getting nerfed into the ground like Chaac several patches ago. She'll be terrible, then they'll revert these nerfs and she'll go back to being good again with a 1 that is powerful, but only when you either hit all 3 hits, or don't get CC'd.

My question is, why make me wait for this to play out?

Skin Concept - Faerie Sol

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 08:40 AM PST

http://imgur.com/oZkUYi8

I hope no one came out with this concept yet but with all the meme and video game inspired skins coming out, I had this skin concept sitting in my head for a while. Faerie Sol is obviously inspired by Disney's Tinkerbell but I wanted to keep some of her original design in hence the tattoos/glyphs on her skin, sheer dress, and long hair. (I know her dress looks like one of those flimsy nightgowns but I still wanted to her to show a lot of skin to show her glowing tattoos. Sol originally does not wear any clothes. Also I didn't know how to go about it.)

I figured this concept fitted both of their personalities since both are playful, confident, and sensual in their own way. Another reason I thought this skin would work was because when Sol uses her Disapparate, she could shrink down to a tiny version of herself with sparkles trailing her. This would be reminiscent of Navi from Legend of Zelda series. Her kit effects could have tons of sparkles similar to what Enchanted Change'e has.

I know am not the best with digital drawing since I don't have a pen/wacom so I just scanned my drawing and used my laptop pad to color. I hope you guys enjoy!

Shuriken Tree is Busted

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 09:02 AM PST

Incon's mid hunter build is warriors poisoned star wind demon titans bane asi/fatalis and deathbringer

you get so much attack speed and crit chance from just the 2 star items alone, plus boosted crit dmg from deathbringer and a ton of % pen from titans bane

hirez even said that crit and attack speed would never be on the same item

I'm starting a new Smite website for a class project. Check it out!

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 09:05 AM PST

I don't think the shurikens should give attack speed.

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 03:59 AM PST

Wind demon was always built season 3, now with 10% Attack Speed there is no reason not to build it. 30% Attack Speed basically when you crit? Its too good.

What I propose is to change attack speed into movement speed. That way we don't have 2 trees with just crit chance. Would the items be too good on mercury, probably, but they would be too good in only one god, which can be changed, instead of being meta on almost every hunter.

But how would you change this tree?

[Skin Concept] Bishop Belmont (Thoth)

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 05:39 PM PST

Kappa has a lot of obvious skins HiRez could do. But I went a different direction. "Spore Kappa"

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 04:55 PM PST

I don't buy skins anymore.

Posted: 07 Feb 2017 10:13 PM PST

I can't there is nothing to buy. Everything interesting is in Chests, and they only thing I pay for anymore are the Events(Which I got the Celtic event free with prime so not much spent there), or the season ticket because the Value is so good. I just hate the fact that cool shit goes into the chests every patch, and I have to just sit here then go "Well that a 1/6 chance odds are ill get it in at least 3 rolls so that's 750 Gems unless I'm unlucky except the skin would cost about 600" if it was out of that chest". so I end up not buying it because I work for a fucking living and spending $10 on a skin every time I see something cool just turns me off.

For real I know this rant has been said a million times but I took a year off and come back to 7 different chests all with premium skins that "Won't be available unless you ROLL FOR IS NOW"

Just I honestly have just given up on the whole skin prospect and get the recolors I love, or just pick up the events. Not saying Chests have to go away. Just saying I don't go for them because at this point it just means if I spend on the them I'm just telling HiRez to put more shit in chests. Only times I have rolled or opened chests is with gems I earned or from rewards from tickets.

edit - typed 60 instead of 600

Close range mages

Posted: 08 Feb 2017 07:54 PM PST

This patch said it would give close range mages (like hades and zhong kui) some help, and they apparently didn't.

While it sucks, it won't help just moaning about it, so this thread is about discussing themy and sharing tips and builds. Here's my two cents on them:

They need to prioritize pen, bulk, and CDR because they need to get in close to deal damage or else they'll get melted. Due to this itemization, their early game is hot garbage, and lategame they don't have as much bulk as some warriors and most guardians, but they are aided by their self healing capabilities, and as a result, there's not much room for power in their build, so they need to get pen to make their damage matter.

The build I use is: pen boots, BoV, Void Stone, Shield of Regrowth, Rod of Asclepius, situational. The way you use this buikd is to help deal sustained damage, not bursting someone down.

Anyone else have similar thoughts about them?

TL DR: Close range mages did not get buffed in next patch. Thread discusses about them. They need pen, bulk, and CDR, so early game is bad and there's not much place in the meta for them.
