The complexity of the game makes a lot of new players either quit or they play just arena and never try anything else due to the toxicity and flame you get for not immediately knowing what to do and be perfect at it

[@adumba3709]

I swear the first match I played everyone reported me for not doing my job when I don't even know what I'm supposed to do💀

[@mylesgilchrest3379]

Aye I downloaded it today and I’ve played everything I kinda like it never played this type of game before

[@a_r_striker1149]

I only play arena cuz I'm a old paragon player, I was forced here, in paragon I didn't like the 1st map they had us playing it was huge like smite map, I enjoyed the map that was left when they closed the game down. I don't like the size of smite Conquest.

[@Gowithdeath]

That is why I suggest they graduate from arena to joust

[@Gowithdeath]

@@adumba3709 yea the community can be toxic

Thanks i literally just started playing today. So I needed this lol

sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can give me.

[@ashtonquincy3800]

@Cory Allan i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@ashtonquincy3800]

@Cory Allan it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out!

[@coryallan1786]

@Ashton Quincy happy to help xD

[@alejandronava2295]

I’ve been playing for about 5 years as well and I’ve only played conquest less than 5 times, great video

[@LordDrashanon]

My one critique as a brand new player, and not just of this video but most the beginner videos I've watched... telling me which gods are best for each roll doesn't help when I don't have access to most of those you named off and don't know if I like the game enough to dump actual money into

[@i23icarragold]

That's a fair point. All Gods can be earnt with in game currency for free thought, or rented to test them. But point taken 👍

[@theallfro6220]

I’ve been playing for like a year but I still don’t know what the hell I’m doing.😙

I play a lot of HOTS, which is another MOBA, and wanted to play a third person or first person game to take a break from HOTS, and I realized that Smite existed and was a third person MOBA. However I got super overwhelmed by everything, and so I am very thankful for your guide, it helped a lot.

It's so damn hard isn't it! I started on Monday and so far I have 1 kill, and about 50 deaths. Lots of assists though, so technically I'm helping

Just started trying it with people and I genuinely think I’d get more enjoyment playing on a motorway, this video helps though thanks

I just started playing again after 6 yrs and this made me understand a gud bit bout wut i was doing wrong. Thanks

Real gamers jump in no knowledge and get they ass whooped 😂 I remember back in 2016 when I got the game just seeing a big ass crocodile guy picking him not buying any items or relics going 6/12 having fun feeding thinking I'm doing work

I tried that same tactic and everybody reported me for not knowing how to play in a casual game lol

How do you get the yellow currency?

How do u buy items on console? I know how to bring up the item store, but don't know how to buy or equip

[@hitsuge5523]

What are the unique symbols beside each character that fills like here yours is a hammer and 3 arrows around it???

[@joshuarogers4775]

That's the gods passive picture, it helps you tell when your gods passive is active, some gods have it some gods don't

I came over from league so I have the basics down for mobas it's just I feel like our teams arent sweats like baseing when low last hitting for gold etc

[@kdlove8629]

Just want to play with Azula but I don't know what I'm doing 😭

[@cruzanassassin]

I'm on ps5... I need help with these things: 1. I'm playing arena... My first couple game when I started, I could simply press the attack buttons to do my powers... Now a few games in I have to press L1 and each attack button at the beginning of the match so they can be highlighted again in order to be able to attack 2. I was killing gods at a decent pace my first couple games, but now it seemed as if I get absolutely destroyed... And I think this is still the computer I'm playing against in arena... Am I missing something? Is there something I have to level up or equip? 3. How do I see my player level and what level must i reach in arena before I start playing against human players?

[@harisablay7020]

For pc players, where do we turn on the quick cast on the settings??

[@josephl.4142]

You can just go right into settings and it should be right there. Should be in the standard control settings

[@leachy_]

So which class do you play as a jungler.

[@ProdigyTheReaper]

Nice video my guy. I was so confused but this helped, thank you. do you still play?

[@i23icarragold]

I do, pretty much every day

[@skylarutd]

I have 4 years of experience and still do ranks yet i watched ur video idk why haha

[@cyberwill2364]

Super helpful video but how does buying or renting gods work. It's quite confusing

[@i23icarragold]

Its actually fairly simple, when you win matches you gain a currency called "favour". You can use this to buy or rent a god. When you buy the god you can play them in any match forever. You own them and can earn "worshippers" on them which act like masteries. If you dont own the god you can rent them to try them out for 500 favour. When renting you dont earn worshippers ( I dont think)

[@cyberwill2364]

@@i23icarragold thanks this is helpful. So to rent them it's costs 500 favor and to buy them it's cost 5500 favor?

Yes help!!

[@johnmacintyre2]

Just started playing today, why does the match making consistently match me with high Elo players when I’m garbage haha

Your elo will be in high fluctuation at the beginning because it doesnt have enough match data to accurately determine where you are at

[@PeachiiWubs]

I'm a 9 year deep league vet. Taking a crack at smite, what should I know.

[@bradleyb.3935]

so i am trying out Smite and found myself here. please if you aremaking a video for us Noobs, don't assume we know what you are talking about... 1) i have no idea what the Fountain even is? is that the starting place where you generate into the game and Respawn??? also when you are buying your equipment, what buttons are you pressing to Get Those screens to pop up? when someone is New, like me, I am Clueless about what any button does..... explain your actions. I finally got the controller to Savage... but I had to restart as my VIBRATIONS were effin Nutz!!!! I had to turn those off. but I was trying to at the start of the game and several times got Timed Out bc I was trying to figure out eachsetting... OH I can access the little row of icons at the bottom with the 3 Lines...???? ooohhhhh.... I was doing it before the game After I Accepted the Match... Noobs be NOOOOBS

[@BreakFree5807]

....why did you accept match as new player before practising with bots in Jungle mode? Literally walk in and click everything so you can learn. Would you drive a car without getting driving licence , then have a sook at the driving instructor cause " he assumed you know what he's talking about". That's why the guy who made this video didn't respond to you, you aren't tryna learn here, just to whine, instead of doing research.

[@gabrielcyr234]

"deactivate all the features that make the game easier and more enjoyable to new players" uh ok

[@theraytech54]

I too have many years of experience with different mobas but am new to Smite. I don't think autobuy/autorank should be your first point in thid beginner video. Player shouldn't try to optimise their builds right away, wtf ? I'm sure it does not make that much of a difference when you play in such low level..

[@BreakFree5807]

It's to encourage them to read up on the items and learn. This is a learning guide. Plus if you have " many " years in moba, you would know that, items can be built together into final stage, for example in dota 2 , brown boots, can turn to arcane boots, then healing greaves, one more example from dota 2, get a ring of health, if u buy vitality booster to add to the ring u get a vanguard, then you buy a basher, and a recipe, it becomes an abyssal blade, so if you don't turn of auto buy,.it's gonna keep buying small compartments of different items and never actually finish a full item... so either you are lying.about ' many years' or you spent many years not learning single thing and have continued to remain bad at the game. Many years Lawl.

[@thepaperbullet6226]

Smite is way more complicated that LOL. But lol doesnt have cthulu or jormungandr. So smite wins

If you have paddles or a Scuf controller don’t change the button layout. I’m getting into it and I have no issues however I never have to move my right thumb off the right stick to press an ability so if you don’t have paddles that is great advice 🙏🏻
