Smite - Competitive Megathread | Week of April 1 2018 | The SPL enters Week 3


Competitive Megathread | Week of April 1 2018 | The SPL enters Week 3

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 09:04 AM PDT

HERE IT GOES AGAIN

We've moved passed the horror that was the LoL invasion. Now we move onto the third week of the SPL. After this week we'll be halfway through the Spring Split, and things will finally be taking shape. We have some super exciting games this week, and we kick off with arguably the most anticipated game in NRG vs. DiG. Both teams have looked fantastic, but there's no arguing that DiG is the top dog in Europe at the moment, perhaps NRG and EmilZy can throw a wrench in their plans?

In NA we'll see the top team CLG play twice against LG and EUnited. As we all know, EUnited is yet to win a single game this season, so the odds against CLG are not in their favor, but maybe they've been preparing something behind the scenes for this week.

You can watch all the matches here on Mixer!

NOTE: ALL TIMES ARE IN EDT

Remember, most countries are now in Daylight Savings Time, so the European viewers will probably be watching an hour earlier.

Auvey reportedly says reddit part of the reason for reduced drop rate

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 03:37 PM PDT

I didn't see it myself because I watch full screen but in a mixer codes mega thread on the smite trades subreddit someone posted that Auvey had said code sharing on reddit was resulting in too many FP being claimed, leading to a reduced drop rate. I'm inclined to suspect (if this is true) that they're actually blaming the code pasting apps but don't want to mention them directly.

So hey, Hi Rez - here's why I use a codes thread to get drops....it's because I'm watching full screen. Now and again I check a thread for new codes and input them into smite, which I have to have idling on my ps4. I'm not interested in the inane babble that is 98% of chat, I want to watch the games. I only get notifications of a poll if I have mixer in the background, so that doesn't help. In a way, I'm grateful. Knowing that missing a few matches (or days) will only cost me (based on today) 400 fp instead of over 1000 (based on week 1) makes it far easier to plan my week.

All that said, I get why the drop rate needed to be reduced from week 1 - if I got Demonic Thanatos midway through the second split, would I bother buying a fall season pass? But blaming reddit, for sharing codes, seems disingenuous to me.

Something to help everyone in Conquest

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 12:18 PM PDT

I don't know if anyone has suggested this before, but when you're killing camps for other people, bring the buff holder to the entrance of the camp and kill it at the entrance, so the player who picks it up doesn't have to walk all the way into the camp to get it. Since the season 5 map is bigger, it takes around half a second longer to get around the blue buff wall and to get to the red buff. It may not seem like a lot, but that half a second could be the difference between you dying or securing a kill, and all those seconds add up in the end. Just putting it out there.

Hey Hi-Rez you wanna know how to get more people to watch the SPL?

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 04:56 PM PDT

Let us watch the games through the damn client. If I get on Smite and see a notification that there's a game on I'd be a lot more inclined to watch it than having to check the schedule to see what teams are playing, and then having to go over to mixer to watch it.

You can do it in CS:GO. You can do it in other games. If you want your professional gaming scene to be taken seriously then you need to take it serious yourself. If I seem upset about this it's because I am. This game is awesome, and it feels like you guys just don't take this serious enough, in fact the entire UI needs to be updated with a lot more features. Just look at Dota's UI it looks fucking awesome.

I saw no reason why Hirez would have Chef Vulcan replace the community skin but then i thought about it and...

I mean, both would sell obviously but here's the thing:

They'd have to make 2 direct purchase skins instead of 1 lol.

I wish ragequtting/feeding/trolling was taken as seriously as bad language

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 03:01 PM PDT

I for one would rather be told to kill myself by a teammate that actually plays hard and tries to win than play with a guy who quits after he dies once, or sits in fountain VGS spamming me. The fact that I know the dude is going to get completely away with it even though I report him afterwards is really disheartening. I play on Xbox so I have this problem in about 30% of my games and it's one of the reasons I don't spend money on this game.

Personally I think that if you get reported for one of the above and it's investigated and found to confirmed you should be on the fast track to a permanent account ban, like 3 strikes, or in some cases an immediate ban. I know no major MOBA takes steps like this (besides LoL to a small extent) but I really think treating poor sportsmanship as seriously as vulgar language would help to reduce instances of it. You wouldn't let some guy keep coming back to your basketball court if he was doing shit like running off with the ball or fouling his teammates, why should this be any different?

A suggestion to buff Guan Yu

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 02:52 PM PDT

So we all know how lackluster Guan has been so far this season, and especially since Achilles' release, he's been getting power creeped hard af. Couple that with the introduction of Warrior's Blessing and you've got a truly sad tale for the ol' saint of war.

My suggestion is to make it so he only has to have 10 stacks of his passive to use an enhanced ability, but keep the passive capped at 20 stacks. That way he can use 2 enhanced abilities in a row. This would also work well with his 3, since it does 10 ticks of damage and would allow him to use his next ability with the passive bonus as soon as he finishes the animation for his 3.

I know this doesn't seem like a lot, but i feel like it would really help his sustain and utility.

A better code drop system might be the solution for everyone

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 05:35 PM PDT

I think they should just come up with a better system of why they even put out a code and then decide the amount according to that system, instead of polls or what not.

For example, give out codes at the ends of matches, white chest at the end of the first match in set, blue at the end of second and third match and replace either of those with an Odyssey chest if a team in a match just straight up dominates the other team or if the match goes on for long because of how good the teams were...

Having a clear-cut system for why you are giving out a code will have people know how many codes they can approximately expect per day and reduce the number of people whining because of "a lack of codes", plus it would keep the number of chests given out at a lower, but decent number and nobody would be left wondering why HiRez is being stingy/generous. Furthermore, people who don't want to bother looking at the chat and instead want to focus on watching the matches could then just be like "Oh, the match is now over, I'll check for a code now", and then just hide the chat again. And lastly, the chests themselves gain some significance because if an Odyssey chest gets dropped people might think "Damn, some shit must have went down!"

(also, give Scotty a raise... like half a gallon of mechanical oil or something)

Skin Idea for Discordia: Billiard

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 11:07 AM PDT

So i dunno how the skin would be called, but its basically about billiard (or how is it exactly called in english?). Her 1 would be a ball consisting of several pool balls and when it explodes you hear the sound of balls clashing just like in the billiard, her 2 could be something like a pool table and her ult would probably be an 8Ball.

Edit: I originally wanted this skin idea for Nox but since Discordia was released it was a better pick for her.

Some say he's still in the air...

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 01:51 PM PDT

I've seen Discordia's recolor get used instead of her normal artwork on numerous occasions when every other god has their normal artwork used. For example I've seen this be the case for tier lists ever since she was introduced as well as several other places. Why is this?
