Is there a better feeling than hitting a max distance ult as vulcan and deleting the enemy mid?

I don't think there is. :colbert:

Getting a Chronos ult off at 1 hp is pretty good. Actually hitting someone with AMC or Kuku ult ain't bad. But yeah. I hope Vulcan gets a new model at some point.

Mind games are the best.

A few nights ago I was playing Anubis and stood completely still in front of an enemy phoenix with a Sobek there. In my head I was saying "pluck me! pluck me!" and as soon as his dash animation started I ulted... and deleted him. Hilarious bait and it definitely got in his head because drat was he shy the rest of the game...

I'm done playing Ra in solo queue. People flip the gently caress out if your healing placement isn't perfect (and Ra is one of the worst healers). Sorry if you die because you ran in expecting tons of healing

Actually I hate playing healers in general by myself, other players don't seem to realize your healing abilities have cool downs, just like other abilities! :downs:

Who are some healers to try out? I've been primarily playing Geb for a couple weeks and while saving people is lots of fun people start complaining real fast when you aren't saving THEM from the certain death they dive into reasoning that a tank on the team should make them basically invincible. Kumbakharna is starting to look like a more fun option because he's all CC all the time and assassins don't expect you to be their bodyguard.

That's what you get in mobility meta, and Hel's even worse off on that one. Not to mention easy antiheals to keep them down, which I do love whenever I have to stop them in Assault :haw:

Ra's a solid healer if you want to try that out, Aphrodite for single target and damage. Tankier, Guan has solid escapes in a pinch and Sylvanus is naturally such as guardian.

She's difficult for HiRez to balance. She's gone through a couple iterations and unfortunately she's not really a strong healer anymore. She's sort of stuck in this weird no-man's land.

Heal is not great, clear is not great, damage is not great, but at least she has a (situationally) good ult :confused:

30 first wins holy goddamn. I get that it's two weeks long but without a killer party I had trouble just getting three a day during the gem event a couple weeks ago, my crew and I don't have enough time in a day to play more than maybe 3 or 4 matches total.

It wouldn't be HiRez balance unless they buffed/nerfed the wrong thing.

Their next change will be to take the crit chance from Golden Bow and put it on Jotunn's.

So I dunno how many others follow the pro scene, but retired player/new caster Allied was diagnosed with cancer a couple weeks ago, and yesterday a bunch of Hirez guys and players held a 24 hour stream for him and raised over $32,000. With that and his gofundme they're over $50k total.

I just think that's pretty cool. People poo poo on moba communities a lot but I think the smite one ain't bad.

This year's Spring Fling (charity event HiRez puts together with pros) is going to Allied: http://esports.smitegame.com/2016-spring-fling/

Dogg just have a full party of between 3 and 5 people available at any time that can steamroll any opposition in five different game modes consecutively and you'll get it done in half the allotted time?? Seems straightforward to me...

He just needs retexturing.

I hope they don't remodel him, or if they do they better not touch the King skin. I'm afraid it'll get the Ne Zha Cyberpunk treatment - his bones will get elongated and his chin will disconnect from his body.

His model is actually really bad. He already got a partial retexturing a long time ago. And I doubt they'd do anything to The King (AKA the only skin I ever use on him.) or Brynnhildr, as those are newer models.

Brynnhildr is the only skin I've actually considered buying FWIW, but that's probably more to do with the fact that I play a lot of Bacchus in general. It's fun to build more offensively on him with items like Etherial Staff, Legion helmet, void stone and play super aggressively. He actually gets passably decent magic power ratios for a guardian and it's kind of funny jumping in on a low health squishy from over a hedge to burp him to death.

cyclonic
Dec 15, 2005

Bacchus needs a texture update like what Zeus/Ymir got, but I guess those are technically remodels. Anhur and Sobek need that Zeus/Ymir treatment too.

I just hope they don't change Bacchus too much if they do decide to touch him. He's a leftover concept from when Smite was less serious than it is now.

edit-
Sidenote: I haven't played much Conquest in Season 3 because I keep expecting big changes to be happening. Yesterday I played a game where someone called jungle, then changed their mind and called support.

It's sad to see that people would rather play support (a role I always ended up playing because I always call "fill") over jungle when jungle was THE role people wanted.
