Congratulations, you made it to the end of the description. You are now one of the chosen few.
Great video for beginners, but some experienced players could use that "don't take chat to heart" section.
*BuT i HaVe OvEr LeVeL 90 aNd 1K hOuRs! YoUr NoOb WoRdS aRe NoW cArVeD iNtO mY hEaRt*
People level 100 or higher that I’ve played with seem to almost get offended when I point out that some anti heal would be useful early on or when I recommend to our tank to build witchblade if the physical gods were killing him when they had 2 hunters and a set, he already had midguardian mail or however you spell it and the guy was complaining about dying to that “broken assassin” the whole game
Yea I was getting so like so sad when people were saying I was trash and I took it personally
I completely agree with the chat thing, if someone keeps tilting you, mute them even if you lose communication you can have a better time.
Literally the whole player base needs to start living by this, I'm trying to be as positive as possible in every game but it doesnt matter one bit, everyone still gets salty af for no reason, like being 2 kills down isnt the end of the world
Really annoying thing, is when a teammate complains and says he is a master player on his OG account Like... if you are smurfing, then don't be suprised that everyone arent as good as you.
I’ve Smurfed a couple of times and it isn’t even fun. It’s like playing bots.
It's because he's lying.
I've never met a single smurf that was beyond the average player. I'm level 140+ and play all game modes except Joust ^^ I agree with the other person, 99% of them are talking out their arseholes
That is true in fact I had a Thor last game saying he was hacked but he was so good on his other account. But the fact he mained Thor EW.
@@meannn417 thor is actually in the meta right now
speaking of people never playing more then 1 god, thats why i love assault it forces them to try more gods.
Also, people in assault are much less toxic. At least when I played last.
DickVanLuxusPlays I dont know about that. Some assault matches Ive played people say gg right when we enter the match because of our team’s combo vs the other team’s
@@dickvanluxusplays2457 as an assault main trust me theres toxic idiots in assault especially lately for some reason but you're right there does seem to generally be less toxicity in assault over other modes
@@dickvanluxusplays2457 i personally see more people rage and or rage quit in assualt than conq
It would help if gods where better looking and made
The first mistake was installing Smite *huhuhuh* I’m such a comedian. But for real, don’t take chat to heart like Duke says, and don’t one trick, it’s better to learn all gods than stick with 1
Prolly the best advice imo. Many times my friend finds some gods frustrating simply because he only plays 4 gods.trying many gods opens your horizons on how the game is played, and that gives you an advantage when you know how every role and god is played.simply knowing every role mindset in conquest helps you win more.
I love nu wa so much tho and don't know who to try out next I've only tried nu wa and yemoja any suggestions?
Gage Neal play a hunter to mastery 7 at least. Play a warrior, then assassin, both to at least 7. I like Chiron, tyr, and nemesis. Play the kit you like and then get good with it. Passive abilities are super important and look up specific character videos.
Do you wanna see my first impression of smite? I posted it today!
B-but Chaac is so cool xddddddd
*me ready to write "first mistake is installing smite" *hears mistake 1* Me: FRICK
I've been playing for over 5 years now and I still play Co-op. Sometimes it's nice to be able to put on some music and not think too hard about playing well, and you can help new players by helping them adjust.
I do custom games 2v2 random pick and try to feed/protecc my bot mate
What is nice about co-op as well is that you can get "First Wins of the Day" from them so if they have a challenge that you need 3 FWOD to get a chest you can quickly get them from co-op then not stress about it.
Also feels good if you’ve been getting smacked for a couple rounds
Alternatively it can be so frustrating to play with new new people. I had a susano be level 4 cause he kept trying to jungle and was getting killed by the camps. Just watching them run head first into fights and then dying instantly hurts
Despite using it often, I still think Jungle Practice mode is too hidden in the menus. It should honestly have its own shiny button on the main menu that everyone can see as soon as they log in. It would also be great if you could change god in the mode without having to back out to main menu (even if it has to give you a loading screen to change).
I completely agree with this one . I’m unlocking gods using favor and I test several out when I’m getting close to 5,500 . It’s frustrating having to go back into the lobby just to try out a god .
Well the developers would like that aswell, but as it stands they’ve said that would be a huge task to handle (because of how programming works etc..).
@@stitchowi they have done it in paladins, don't see why they can't do it in Smite
str1fe петрович Because the two games are made and programmed differently. They might have a simular function, But there is a lot that is different behind that function.
This. I didnt even know it existed, and sat there for days getting bitched out by people who are 4 levels ahead of me and deathless. Its so infuriating when people call me out for being dogshit, like can you not see that im level 2x???? This community has shown so much toxicity, and never once told me what to do. but i guess this is LOLs bastard child so its to be expected. -worst warrior N/A
Me, who has invested nearly 1800 dollars into this game at this point and nearly 7 times that many hours: “Oh hey dukes boutta teach me how to play this game”
I didn't know that you could return to base by pressing a button for about three days, I'd manually run back each time. My friends had a good laugh on that one. Considering they were playing with me the whole time.
me: *has 2000+hrs on the game* also me: *watches this vid mainly cuz Duke's voice is like butter*
Right? If I was the literal best player in the world I would still watch this in case I missed something 😂😂
Same. Mid plat player and im still watching
About 2000 hours in is the perfect time to overcome the VEG mentality and finally start learning how to get better. ;)
Could you tell me a good god to play as a beginner?
@@rileyreaper8592 Whats your play style ? What do you like to do on the battleground ?
Biggest mistake I made was having fun in arena and thinking that the rest of the game was built around that experience
Arena makes me want to gouge my eyes out
Biggest mistake I did was coming back to the game a month ago and thinking people aren’t toxic af and thinking I can have fun
As a seasoned player it’s still good to be reminded of these bad habits lol
Honestly, making this video made me realize how sloppy I've become with my minimap usage as I was talking about it. Definitely useful to go back to the basics sometimes.
Sometimes its good to have a back to basics day just to remind yourself of helpful things like these
Me and my brother have a saying about smite minions "Minions OP" It never a good thing to forget how much damage they do to either you or the titan
ive won so many 1v1 because of archer minions. they do DAMAGE if forgotten about.
@@thecomedybro3698 Oh yes that’s why arena so important it makes you really realize the basic mechanics like minions and how chat is no joke arena is very important most seasoned players have at least over 1k hours in arena usually by the time there the “most experienced”
@@thecomedybro3698 bc the only reason ppl get so toxic is bc there only there for the chat not to increase skill smite did not make that happen for community to be toxic to others (new players)
at 9:55 in the footage when you get 2 kills and clear tower and someone still tries to initiate a surrender presumably because they were doing poorly. i felt that in my soul.
I'm teaching the game to my little sister, she went alone in to other mode than coop and got insulted... How sad...
That sucks :/ Really hope she had a better experience after that!
@@DukeSloth well she plays coop only now so... Yeah
@@cedrichol4313 damn, i wish people werent assholes and would remember everyone including them started out pretty bad at the game and would actually try to give some quick general advice
Honestly same thing happened to me so I feel your sister's distaste towards casuals etc :/
If getting insulted makes you angry then use that anger to git gud. Welcome to the internet.
a MAJOR point that was missed here: BUY WARDS. this goes hand in hand with the "look at your minimap" point, but buying wards is absolutely essential to all levels of play. placing a ward gives you so much information, its practically the best item in the game, and its also subsequently the cheapest. buy wards, and then look at your map.
Don't just buy wards though... PLACE THEM.
@@romdog1818 This is probably the biggest beginner mistake, buying stuff an forgetting to use it.
I specifically said that there will be a second part that will go into item mistakes, that will obviously include wards...
u right, my bad haha. never hurts to point it out twice though, and i feel like wards and minimap go VERY closely hand in hand.
Man I've been playing since season 1 and I still die to minions sometimes. And I can't tell you how often I see people chase kills without at least damaging the wave a little bit and we end up losing a tower because of it
Bro if your dying to minions get outta ranked
@@krintv2507 who said I play ranked? And I'm talking about those situations where you're low and fighting someone and the wave shows up and the archers start plinking, not just straight up dying to minions, shit happens
Hey the last one piece of advice was me! Great video Duke! One thing to add on "putting too much weight on others players words" If someone is advising you to fix your build... nicely ofc, to help the fight against the enemy team... please listen to them... sometimes ofc. Ik some people troll newer people but if you dont have any anti heal in your build and someone tells you to build one... please do so
7:50 This may be getting a bit too advanced for the target audience of this video, but in a lot of situations, it is better to target the enemy solo laner over their minions. When you attack the enemy god, their minions start attacking you, which means they aren't attacking your minions. It's possible to outclear just by targeting the god and taking minion aggro in solo. You get pressure off of that as well as off of the damage you do to the enemy solo, and most warriors can tank minions throughout the game. It does take some practice in solo to figure out when to target minions versus the god, so it's not an absolute beginner topic. But I think it's one of the most important things to learn to be a good solo laner, and one of the biggest mistakes I see in other solo laners. It takes practice, but you have to figure out which gods should focus minions, which should focus the enemy god, and at what point in the game to do either one. Some people will focus minions way too hard early game, and I'll get massive pressure and early kills because they refuse to fight. Others will be chasing me down trying to attack me while I proxy in midgame. Midgame fighting in solo is like slapping each other with wet noodles. They waste 30 seconds attacking me while I kill a wave behind their tower, I heal up the damage immediately, and then I go to mid and we kill their team because the other guy still has to clear the wave.
I think the main reason it isn't good to tell newbs is that it is normally incorrect to do early because minions just burst everyone early so it might get them to do it early
You're right, that is an important strat. But yes, I do think it's too complex for beginners. I think it's something they'll learn when practicing individual solo gods and maybe watching guides for them specifically.
When I started playing Smite I remember watching some of your videos to learn more about the game and mechanics. To see that still to this day you do this type of videos helping out new players makes me have nothing but respect for you my man. You're doing god's work out here and we all should appreciate how much you support the game this way. Much love Duke
I STILL love and use a modified version of ur keybindings! That video was how I actually found your channel and was SO MUCH HELP for me with my problems I kept having pressing other abilities on accident instead of moving etc. I just got sick of it and figured I could find a better way of playing and now I've been subbed ever since 😁
Thanks so much for this guide . I’m a new player. Only been playing for two weeks and for the first few days I played arena exclusively just to get used to mechanics and a few gods. Then I started playing other modes for the win of the day bonus favor. I fell in love with siege , hated clash but now I really enjoy clash . Assault is always fun whether I win or lose and I just started liking Joust. Definitely hard for me I’m trying to find a role I can do well. I’m mainly a support in other modes besides arena. I’ve been avoiding conquest out of fear but seeing your video . I will give it a shot ! Still scared but I’ll do my best !
I think you should do a "Jungle pathing in smite" because when i started playing I had no idea what is my pattern in the jungle lol
Never expected that you made the joke about installing smite lol
If I didn't, 50 others would have ;)
I’ve been playing smite for a very long time now ever since it came to ps4, and I’ve gone through it all I’m helping someone new to the game get to know it and I link them to your videos a lot. I feel like a lot of other youtubers work on the whats and when’s but you help people understand the how’s and mechanical aspects also I think you help a lot in the item department because something as simple as reading the items passive is too hard for some people lol
Always nice to see your smite vids
The biggest mistake in Smite was people giving DMbrandon a platform for years
Really good information! Highly appreciated!!
For me one of the most noticeable changes I made as I gained experience was learning to not be as conservative with my ult. When I first started I was super reluctant to even use my ult unless it would be hitting multiple people. Obviously that’s the best case but learning that not every ult I use needed to do that was a very impactful change. Maybe not the biggest but certainly the one I noticed the most.
Thank you I did not realize I was doing those things thank you for the help.
One of the mistakes I saw a lot of was new players not buying anything for the entire match.
You touched on my personal peeve with people chasing kills over objectives. However, I would extend that to a more general priority list and find room on there for protecting team mates.
Always appreciate you Duke we have so many new players which makes me happy and I hope this can help them and that toxic people wont scare them off cuz we all started somewhere folks.
The toxic ones are the reason why i gave up playing eventually, i rediscovered the game but still only bumb into toxic people :(
Thanks for all that you do for the community !
I played casually a few years ago. None the less there were still plenty of things I found useful. Great content. I'm going to look for more!
I love your channel I am excited for the new conquest guide
I recently introduced some friends to Smite and this video is perfect for them :D great video Duke!
I suggest starting to broadening a select few gods at start like 3 of all types warriors ,mages etc
Playing and learning conquest is the best tips out there. Could write 10- A4 pages about how much better youll get, compared to not playing it.
This was a great video I’m only lvl 40 rn but I’m hooked on the game and it has some actual great tips to take into consideration
id say hold off on the cq guide since hi rez has stated that in s8 there will be a new cq map and with that might come changes that you'd want to include with the guide
I mean, that's still half a year away and this new patch will almost feel like a new season. I'll just make a new guide with the S8 map again!
Hey Duke. I love your channel. I Thank you for this content because your guides have helped me many times to get a better understanding of the game. When you mentioned about exploring other games modes , I tend to enjoy Arena, however it doesn't seem like many people are a fan of it. Is Arena not a great mode to play? I also play Joust, and I used to play Conquest, though I'm still relatively a beginner in that mode. What are your thoughts on this, and I look forward to seeing that new Conquest video so that I can get back into it.
I'm especially guilty with the first one :D When I first started out, I only choose Mage-type gods, and whenever I get some cash, I would always buy another Mage class... however, I realised that focusing on one role isn't that much great. In fact, it's probably bad. And that's how I was able to, well, branch out to different classes. If I didn't have that kind of realisation, I would have never found out that I can use Cerberus or Pele with ease. Or that I would be wondering why the hell Chaac can spam his skills whenever.
When I first started I ended up using almost anubis exclusively from like lvl 5 to 30. However, it ended up working out in my favor with me getting decently well at my positioning and reading situations. On the other side tho I cant aim very well.
I love all the videos your putting up for beginners my friends just started playing so I send them all your videos, maybe sometime later u can make a video on what roll beginners should try and learn first Im curious about what u and other people think but keep up the amazing content
Yeah, I'll definitely make a roles for beginner video as well!
Honestly I am teaching someone and I found that them playing carry and you playing support helps a lot you can get them to learn the “meta” of starting in lanes and stuff a lot easier and kind of start to explain the other roles and let them know what’s going to happen in those lanes/roles where like mid you should expect to get ganked on a lot same with carry but solo you can be a little bit less cautious of ganks also jungle is very active and more or less very map aware and supp being a lot more cautious and aware to what you can do to open up team fights or save teammates ya know start from the roots and basic stuff and don’t push items too much just teach them one thing at a time if you try to teach too much it’ll be way to overwhelming just kinda guide them on their builds and tell them the best ways to start and what to do to counter build
I've been playing smite since baba yaga's release and I made it my mission to play every god at least once just to ensure I know how their kit works and how the aninations of their abilities work as to avoid or understand the threat
Ive one that goes beyond beginners. Not warding simply because your not the guardian/tank
I am not exactly beginner player but still very casual and I can see myself of those players who avoid conquest. Most time I play conquest wasn't good experience, mostly the time, you get forced to play support there aswell. Actually the match I played on conquest map was because of MTODs.
I play paladins for years, almost since it's release and i always wanted to move to smite just bcoz i think, at least visually is much more nice, but evertime i try the game i end up closing it in a few matches bcoz how i suck lol, but thanks for the tips anyway it might help :D gonna give it another shot
I've only played like 30 matches of conquest and the last time I played was 3-4 years ago, I was so scared of being called out for being bad, since I've always liked Joust the best lol.
Awesome video dude cheers!!
I just started the game and this helped alot I usally will probaly get 1 kill but now I get about 10 kills. Very good video for beginners
Using the mini map is very important...but when I was (probably still am) a beginner and a relatively older person to other players, I was mostly trying not to have an epileptic seizure as my eyes and brain were being overloaded with all the flashy, flashy colours and loud sounds... I'm from the Atari 2600 generation. Thanks for all your tips DukeSloth, I really appreciate them... :) MacroManatee.
Side note I love playing co op sometimes it's just more fun to play bots when people are too busy trolling in random queue.
One major thing I've noticed when played with beginners is that sometimes they dont finish tier 3 items and keep piling up tier 1 and 2 items without understanding of how impactful it would be to buy full tier 3 item.
Love u Duke. U speak out, what makes me Salty in games. Just Easy tips, but it Helps soo much,
Ive been testing gods out in arena. I like arena a lot but it plays so much more different than Joust. Conquest terrifys me but that is only because im so new and I dont really understand roles and formations. I will give conquest a try at some point, but for now im still trying all the gods in arena AND 3v3 to see which I like the best.
I'm fine with the default lay out on Xbox just because of how my hand eye cordanation works
I've never played SMITE, however i did play League and still am and im really experienced in it. Kinda had to watch this since i had some problems in the game, except clearing minions/csing since im adc and top main. Anyway, it is a fun game, i really like it even tho i still need to get used to how it works, i've never really played a MOBA styled game that is PvP.
Nice video man. Alot of players really want that first kill and will over commit to get it.
The button layout Savage is the best IMO for Xbox smite, only have to remove ur thumb from the right analog for the ulti. This is assuming you have a stock controller ofc
I give uuuu a thumbs up cuuuz im new to this game, u helped me
Hey. What do u think abous set buffs?
I started out years ago playing a handful of gods and modes and quickly got bored/annoyed/overwhelmed by everything and dropped the game. picking it up again from time to time. When playing arena, i enjoyed the quick/condensed gameplay and found it useful to give more gods more tries to learn their skills mechanics and items. Got into almost exclusively playing arena and actually enjoying myself instead of stressing over other game modes. I always recommend people try arena and wish others would stop bashing on people who play it.
I look at arena the same way I look at death match in CSGO, it’s just extremely boring in my opinion and there’s always those people in arena that think they’re in the spl
Electrical Boom I personally can’t have fun in conquest or even joust without friends even in casual everyone is so tryhard and want to report me for missing one rotation. I wanted to enjoy it since my friend wanted to do something other than Arena but I can’t when people are treating casual conquest like rank and are just spamming chat with ‘You Rock! Cancel That!’ Until I get a team of five for conquest I’m not gonna enjoy it and even then they only allow groups of two for ranked so I’m not touching ranked.
keep in mind to 180 shots while fleeing ... there are often situations your support or nother player your jungle etc ... goes in to save and if you have something ranged cc or damage you can throw behind in a half second helping him he will love you nother 180 and flee further ... this kind of turn around may even will be the Turn around in the fight
The mistake that players don't test gods in jung practice is very good. I remember when Heim was released, I read the kit and it said that crits do only 70% of damage. Then went to jung practice and tried it out and discovered that Heim autos did 800-1000 crit, immediately loaded amc, did exactly the same build and amc did 600 crit. Then week or two later one player in my team called me an idiot for building crit on Heim. I told him go and see for himself how much dam Heim can do with crits. I used to play all game modes, every day I had a goal to get the first win of the day. That lasted for 2 years, then I dropped arena and clash (didn't get too into that in the first place). Next 2-3 years I played conquest, joust and siege in a loop. And now I mostly play conquest and sometimes joust and siege.
Most common mistake I see new players making is saving up for tier 3 items because they don't know the lower tiers build into it.
would love to game with you and your group sometime. always looking for people to learn from and study how they play why trying to find my rhythm
That first tip is so good? I was constantly getting wrecked instantly until I started playing a variety of gods. I didn’t understand why I was getting annihilated by Nemesis, it turns out I was using crit against her shield, which was a ver bad idea.
Great Video! I really could have used this Video when I started with smite years ago, and I could´ve had more fun earlier :D .... that Archon flex tho
I’ve been trying to teach my gf to play smite in mid and support (so she can get an idea if she likes to be tanky or do damage) and I think the hardest thing for her is understanding where other players should be and the basic 2-1-1 and jungle set up. Lots of new players just run to random lanes which is understandable since the game tutorial doesn’t help at all. I told her not to worry about it for now but I know it’s confusing for her and lots of players I’m sure.
Bro if your gf can’t process 2-1-1 get a new gf wtf
well first i would suggest for her (when in mid lane) to move the mini map a little closer to the middle of the screen (enter the settings tab by pressing ESC then select hud editor then move the mini map wherever is easier for her to keep an eye on you can also reduce the opacity) and to always be looking at it and always keep track of where ur jungler is, also tell her that the red buff is important and for this reason she should be always be keeping track of the jg, now when the jg is near the mid lane if she has her ult up then she can ask for a gank which is VGG hope this helps (sry for my english)
Mentioning the meta when I play hera solo for shits and gigs Excellent
I'm just here to hear Dukesloth say the meta. Its great
Before you make that conquest thing for season 7 you should know they plan on updating the conquest map this season this month.
Nice video bro
What are the 2 modes in Australia? I tried queuing but never got into any games
So THIS is what you were asking on Twitter for
I just started smite a few days ago and I’ll admit to the “maining one or two gods” problem (I’ve play Cerberus for support, Freya for mid, and amaterasu for solo and jungle, and in the event I get carry I go neith) but I’m happy to announce that I almost immediately changed the keybinds and turned off auto buy and skill to try to force myself to get accustomed with buying in MOBA’s
I started 2 days ago and building items is probably the most confusing part for me
Console I reccomend savage plus for the controller layout
I started playing with my friend who is brand new to the game and have seen a lot of wtf moments but one thing I hate about new players is they just dint care about the team will pick assassin when they get support split solo or mid lane xp not clear camps as jungle etc and when you point it out they just get upset
Pro tip for lower computers. Or laptop players. Computers which don't work fast in smite are a pain. Low FPS, Freezes and such on. Before going into a real game go onto a bot lobby and let your device load the map. Aswell as items. It helps. I had a laptop and it REALLY helped put freezing down
My main mode is Arena due to how straight forward it is and how quick the matches are... Anyways, i got my friends to play and my #1 tip for them is "learn the items and dont use the same build every time, adapting to all situations is vital"
Funny thing with the minions doing a lot of damage, they used to do even more, especially early
Lots of beginners don't know how to Auto Attack cancel! Duke you should a updated AA canceling guide. Do a tier list on who it matters on and who it doesn't effect/make use of it for reference. On pc it may not be a problem but for console its awful to watch people play Melee attack gods
I just downloaded the game thank you
Just started the video, i really hope "learn which roles dive backline and which roles stay back" is one of the mistakes
Is there part 2 out yet
One thing that all new players tend to do that significantly cripples their gameplay is not reading what the itens and the gods skills do. A lot of times it leads to things like Mystical mail on Khumbakarna, for example.
MM kumbha go hard
My personal tip for new players is to move to try out Arena after feeling comfortable enough with Co-op to move unto PvP. Arena is nice cause it allows you to test and practice the mechanical aspects of each god as well as trying out different builds in an environment that is more "real" than Jungle Practice or Co-op but without worrying too much about the strategies and complications of stuff like Clash, Joust, Siege and Conquest. Playing arena may not teach you about objectives, early game woes, rotations or larger-scale strategy but it WILL teach you about team compositions, character synergies, engaging/disengaging and what your god's role in teamfights. Arena is one of the main reasons I prefer SMITE over other MOBAS, it allows me to try out new characters in a less stressful environment and them playng them in other game modes once I feel comfortable enough to do more with them.
Been playing for over 5 years *checks video to make sure im not stupid
I like using jungle practice to see skins before buying them and seeing if I like them
LMAO 😂 Bonnie Tyler meme. Good one
Also that hun batz joust game ... You were destroying them. So much pressure
I come hear to check if I miss a couple things as a seasoned player and the dont take chat to heart is true, of course I have 1 or 2 games that i dont do so well in and i understand what they are telling me
If all else fails blame your teammates
but especially blaming the jungler as you constantly lose fights in solo lane
@@ethankeary3574 no blame the support for not rotating to yellow buff to help the jungler (honestly the only reason jungle gets hate from solo is they are the only role solo kinda sees in the game But so long as my solo gets my blue buff wave 1 or if they don't they warn me I am fine with them
Ah yes I now know how to master using Optimus Prime, God of Trucks. Thnx for the info. I really wanted to try Smite since the Transformers collab, and now I know how to become a God, with my favorite God.
Tbh, I was one of those who avoided conquest up until recently. Had about 60 ish conquest games from about 1,500 hrs of play time. Playing with friends helped a lot with that one but still. But basically, still only really play it in a party. Just seems people are slightly more toxic in it
watch SPL ull understand conquest better
Hey, can I have a question? Me and my 2 friends just started playing and we are like level 8, but whenever we play 3v3 mode or even 5v5 we play against so much better players. They are like always around level 25-30 and sometimes even higher. Is it because we are 3 in the party or? It really ruins the experience from the game for us
No, the level of your account doesn’t add stats or anything to playable gods. It is simply a ranking system used to gain access to Ranked mode and gain access to rewards. Think about it as an incentive to continue playing. I’ve been playing Smite for over 5 years, and I can say that as someone who’s been in this community for a while, you sometimes have games that you don’t win. Then you’ll have games that you do win, and as mundane as this sounds it’s the effort and attention you put into the game. I’ve played games where we lost but it was still a good game and I was proud of the way I played. Learning what stats are, and understanding the way that a god’s kit works is very beneficial. Learning to build items is really important. I hope this helps and I hope you win a few!
I've noticed a lot of content for beginners in smite, but when it comes to intermediate and advanced players you kinda have to self find chomps of information here and there and the higher you go, the less concise and the more debatable stuff you find out, i don't want to blame anyone but that's something top players and even hirez itself should work on better, i almost think like most stuff is being somewhat purposely keept unclear, for either intentional inaccessibility measures for the average player or to keep coaching and similar activities more montetizable. Either that or the top boys consider that the community doesn't really want/deserve to know how things should work at a higher level, because the competitive scene is too small. While actually, promoting and stabilizing something that would actually help having people attracted to the competitive scene itself, as well as decreasing general toxicity by promoting self awareness based on higher community standards and norms, it would just make things so much better.
If you are interested learning advanced strategies and information check TheOtherFrost, he is a guy with a cool voice that teaches you stuff that no one else talks about.
@@SkepticRyo that's right, frost is an exception i didn't mention, I'm really glad that he's part of this side of the community but even then i feel like it's not enaught given that he's just 1 person and it's presenting things from a duo lane perspective.
I hear you.... but part of the fun for me is learning it / figuring it out. Granted this is coming from a lvl 156 who has played
I remember I used to play ALOT of clash and siege cause I was afraid of conquest lol
Don’t initiate a attack if you are out numbered. (Unless they are super low health and you understand their abilities/ know which of them are on cool down). “Save yourself” it’s better to play it safe and not get killed, than to put yourself in a dangerous situation/ stay in too long. Saving your leap as an escape (rather than using it to initiate) can help you get out of trouble. Like he mentioned, try out gods..... coming from FPS games I thought I’d much prefer hunters.... after learning the characters, their now my last pick. My beginner god recommendations: Kukukan Ra Discordia Zeus / Ah Puch (careful no escape, but powerful & good ones to learn about combos with) Neith Medusa Guan Yu Hercules (hesitant to put him, but other choice would have been Amaterasu and think Hercules is more typical warrior role... bully) Thor Bastet Kumbhakarna Xing tian Ganesha Ares Tried to keep it to a couple of each role, but many good ones (for beginners especially in mage and guardian, imo)... these are some I had early success/ fun with.
