I could honestly rename the video 2025 if I really wanted, things rarely change in Smite 1, especially now Smite 2 is due to launch real soon. That being said I'm going to be playing 2 a bunch on launch and hope to replace this with an updated version for that as a LOT changed there

Also a new player here. For players wanting to have the camera locked in to your hero as you move theres a advanced option that you can hold your select hero key and it will pan the camera to your hero. Wish there was a perma option like lol oh well

While that might help during the learning process, I can't recommend enough that players learn with a movable camera. You're effectively playing half blind otherwise 😅 But if thats how you have fun, more power to you!

I'm confused about which roles to select. In League of Legends, I used to play in the solo lane. Now, I want to know which lane to support in Dota 2. Could someone who has played both League of Legends and Dota help me with this
@divok2326 ай бұрын
Absolutely! (I have played both quite a bit) So in general League > Dota Support > Pos 5 Hard Support Jungle > Pos 4 Soft Support Top > Pos 3 Offlane Mid > Pos 2 Mid ADC > Pos 1 Carry So a top player in league would play offlane in dota. Or if you want to support the top laner (as both side lanes get a support) that would be the Soft Support Depending on if you are Good (Radiant) or Bad (Dire) team will change which lane this is. Radiant (Good) Team: Top Lane = Offlane & Soft Support Bot Lane = Carry & Hard Support Dire (Bad) Team: Top Lane = Carry & Hard Support Bot Lane = Offlane & Soft Support Hope that helps!

You know what, I mentioned the goal but didn't explicitly tell you, sorry! The goal is to destroy the enemy base. So you start by killing their towers (the big shooting structures in each lane), and eventually their barracks (the things creeps come out of) and finally the ancient (giant glowing structure in the middle of their base)

Thanks. I watched another "beginner" guide and it was making me rebind every key and do drills like I was planning to go pro. I think the hardest parts as a beginner is trying to navigate the shop and manage items. I don't like new player mode because it gives a false sense of how easy the game will be. I tried that mode and I was just stomping everything and I didn't have to manage my courier. I tried Unranked All Pick and got stuck managing my courier and then I lost track of my character. I guess the only way to get better is to keep playing. It's intimidating when i watch others play and they have their build and courier figured out really fast.
@divok2327 ай бұрын
The builds we just get from the guide menu ^^ And for couriers I manage mine with hotkeys. I forget what the defaults are, but you can bind "deliver" and "return" which are the main 2 you will need :) Glad this guide could be a bit more beginner for you though :D

@@shadowgag4526 I think if you put in lots of time just mastering the basics then you will have a good time but other MOBAs are way easier barrier to entry. I wish I could take Dota2 heroes and put then in other MOBAs. The difference between playing games like HoTS, LoL, and Smite compared to this are too drastic. I feel like this game should be its own category. I login but usually logout before I even start a match because the game is too intimidating.
