5 Simple Tips To Improve At SMITE Quickly!

[@jettblade]

Backpedaling while using ranged basic attacks is quite effective for trading if the enemy isn't aware of a very minor mechanic, also an easy trap to fall into, moving forward and attacking actually makes the attack fall off shorter whereas moving backward lets the enemy walk into the shot. To be clear it isn't reducing the range its just moving changes where the projectile is going to hit. The range of an attack is where is originates not where the player currently is, so moving backwards kind of increases the range if the enemy is moving towards you. Had several games where I kept hitting the hunter while their attacks were just shy of connecting. It is a small thing but can make a huge impact. So range attack while backpedaling when the enemy is chasing and don't chase if the enemy is backpedaling while attacking, you usually can't win that trade.

Hey Intersect, you should make more tips and tricks/guide style videos on different topics like positioning, counter building, picking good team comp, etc. These types of videos are really helpful

[@karenmorrell9301]

[@Geckur0]

on the backpedal/strafing penalty note, to get around this, instead of backpedalling, literally just turn around and walk forward. same with strafing, just turn 90 degrees and move forward, or you can do what i did and just main medusa for 9 seasons.

[@Zathren]

First tip: look at the dang map. Please people, pay attention to where your teammates are. Especially if people are putting down wards.

[@Akwatypus]

And especially if you're the frontline initiator. For goodness's sake, check that your teammates are actually close enough and capable of reaching the fight you're initiating. I can't believe how many times the Warrior get's angy at where everyone is, while maybe other's have just backed for items or respawned, or in the middle of objectives, and the dude just goes into a 1v5 without team awareness.

[@lpjs96]

me watching this video with over 6,000 hours in SMITE: "hm, very interesting." Nice video, Inters3ct.

[@Muchinoi]

Lmao nice I have 500 hours, started like a year ago. Just a casual player right now, but I'm having a ton of fun getting my a** kicked in duel right now. I'll beat em someday :)

[@Nonco-1]

I agree with putting your map closer to the center, i dont agree with making it bigger, i actually make it smaller than default. I found that making the map bigger makes my eyes dart around the map instead of having it smaller lets me look at the map with just my peripherals. Meaning that i can basically look at duo and solo at the same time.

[@Akwatypus]

Good video! Do you happen to already have a guide vid about proper positioning? That could be a very useful one, if you don't already have one.

[@bepositive9992]

Great video, I agree with everything, except for the part about making your map bigger. You can see more information when the target image is a bit smaller. An exaggerated analogy is when you go to the cinema and sit in the front. You'll see the details of the sides, especially, a bit harder, compared to the people in the seats above. Thanks for the video, can't wait for more like this!

[@MutedAndReported3032]

The map being bigger can make you see more clearly though, where exactly your enemies or allies are, and what path they’re taking. That can be really helpful, especially in Conquest. I personally make it larger than default, but not max size.

[@terrakage4462]

One tip I have: Check what your team is building, not just the enemy. Had many cases where teammates build the same item with an aura that doesn’t stack. So it generally became a waste of a passive in team fights. Or cases where their item’s passive was completely useless. Or cases where teammates were building anti heal against a comp that only had one character that could self sustain and wasn’t even building items to make said healing more potent. Also had a few cases where supports and mids didn’t understand that divine ruin anti heal isn’t an aura. So the antiheal would still apply even if pestilence or contagion aura was active. So supports thought they couldn’t build pestilence or contagion while mids thought they couldn’t build divine ruin.

[@notguazabara4621]

I have an question, in smite changes it says: “so if you have 25% mitigation from items, then used baron’s ult and gain 35% mitigation, you will actually have 35%, not 60%” “Osiris passive is not affected” I really dont get it, im a Cthulhu Main, so if i have Cthulhu passive at his max (30%) and have an 12% ítem mitigation If i ult i will NOT have 42% mitigation, i will have 30% mitigation?

[@eccod]

Tip #6: misspell things in the thumbnail to increase engagement

[@chancelewis9349]

The strafing while basic attacking especially boxing in duo is a big one. I deff do way too much. Also not using abilitys as soon as their available. good tips, you rock Intersect cancel that.

[@gabrielcurry457]

The second suggestion of not over autoing to much on mages is a good tip but....for the love of God please string some autos in if you can on mages in the early game it' can be the difference between 1st blood for you or the enemy.

[@Crispy.-]

Yeah I feel like this tip should have been explained better people already don't auto on mages even though spl pros definitely think you should when you can.

[@indubitubly8358]

I have over 700 hrs, and only for the last 100-200 have I felt decent at the game, at least on main roles. All of these are things I can do better at, and I actually just found my ideal map opacity today. More tips like these please.

[@MutedAndReported3032]

What’s your ideal map opacity?

@@Akwatypus Same. I'm still the 20/5 Ullr or 20/5 Thanatos whatever with that low amount of FPS. I guess I'll hit my 1 more often on them though

Just a tip, ranked is not where you go to learn, it's where you go to see how good you are. I see alot of people playing ranked "to get better" but that isnt how it works

[@b0sslibra]

at a certain point you need to get into ranked to play with people better than you and learn from them, obviously only when you feel already confident in your casual matches

[@koyom1nfangirl]

That's only a tip for new players, in casuals you get to a point where you HAVE to go play ranked to train and get better, you can't play seriously on casuals to "train" when matchmaking puts you with people that isn't even lv30 and feeds non-stop.

I have played smite off and on and its currently the only game my friends play but I am quite terrible at it. If I did not buy the god bundle I would have started a new account to try and relearn the game but ya... I think that is a main reason I avoid it currently, I took a long break, know next to nothing about it but do not want to start from the beginning again because I do not want to need to unlock something I already paid for and that idiotic line of thought is literally causing me to avoid it entirely...

[@ricolives1166]

Heres 2 tips I will gladly share as a diamond 4 player. Get WARDS AND COMMUNICATION! Im sick and tired of these adcs and mids saying "too expensive" for wards. So at NO point in this 50 minute game you never had more than 50 gold? Also for talking, I understand not everyone has a mic but guess what. You are using a keyboard. Text! Its not difficult

[@MutedAndReported3032]

Well, the issue is that you have to literally stand still when you type, which wastes time that could have been spent farming, or could make you a sitting duck for the enemy. The worst thing that can happen is when teammates start arguing and they type wayyy too much

[@ricolives1166]

@@MutedAndReported3032 so type faster. Learn the keyboard. It's a useful skill in the real world. Plus moving your fingers faster will guarantee your girlfriend will be happy

[@magicpyroninja]

I don't know what it is but I just cannot be successful in these games no matter how much I want to. No matter how much I try, I can never get past beginner level and I always get dropped in any 1v1 fight! Doesn't matter what character I am or what character they are. I lose every one-on-one fight. I'm not bad at video games but I just cannot be good in these kinds of games. I don't know what it is I just can't get it I'll even catch them off guard and half dead. Jump them and still end up dead instead of them

[@sushiroll3795]

A big tip I would give: Unless an ability requires precise aiming, put it on instant cast. Trust me, this makes everything 10x easier.

[@Inters3ct]

I'm a quick cast gamer myself. Only fractions of a second slower than instant with the option to precise aim if necessary. Only on instant for a few specific cases like susano and ullr

[@Akwatypus]

@@Inters3ct Same here. I want the comfort of being able to aim if I want to aim, or cancel if I want to cancel. Stuff like AOE around character, Chang'e immunity etc can (or _should_ ) go on instant cast though.

Disagree I play Arthur on normal cast and never ever ever lose.
