[@TheHornedKing]

Thank you. Just blaming someone for everything wrong only makes things worse. Another way is actually through morale. I experience time and time again that teams with good morale performs the best. Yelling at someone for their bad performance destroys morale, and leads to worse performance. Good morale is important in every kind of teamwork.

[@Blarg6306]

Agreed. I play on xbox, so even if we're not doing so hot I try to keep my team in good spirits. Sometimes we pull a win out of it, sometimes not, but we generally end the match in a good mood and ready for more. Way more beneficial to offer constructive feedback than just telling people to uninstall.

[@jamesg4460]

I'm a total noob at Conquest. I've only played three games of Conquest, ever, and this is my first MOBA. I've been pretty lucky to have had pretty understanding teammates, even though I usually just set up a McDonald's in the dual lane for the enemy team =/ I always end up playing better after helpful advice and encouragement. I can see from the looks of these comments that my experience is probably rare.

[@Ptolomey]

+James Grant that was the best metaphor ever created

[@Ptolomey]

+James Grant also dual is definitely the easiest lane to play on at first, because your support/carry can help fix your mistakes, so I'd suggest practising that and then move to mid/solo, save jungle for last though, by far the most difficult role to play :)

[@jamesg4460]

Thanks! I find those roles are a bit more familiar for me, since I'm a migrant from RPGs. Still getting the hang of the mechanics-- especially wards, escapes, and timing visits to the fountain. I appreciate the advice-- I'll stick to it.

[@Mattras7]

Just something about toxic players, Rainday! I had this game where i was not playing on my best level as Scylla and i was receiving alot of hate from my jungler. He was so blinded by his hate that he started doing stupid stuff as nemesis (doing boars while there's a teamfight in duolane, not helping other teammates, solo'ing the gold fury ,...) We lost, obviously. Then the next ranked conquest game i queue, that jungler was on the other team as jungler. He even started whispering me with stuff like: "This is easy game, you are a bot". And guess what? This IMPROVED my motivation and level of skill that game. I did some really good plays as Janus and when i killed the BM jungler i spammed VEL just to make him mad some more. The point is now, even when we lost that game after 60 minutes or so (it was a close game), this is by miles the most fun i had with a ranked game in months. It felt so good playing well against the guy that was bullying/blackmouthing me before.

[@tzeruikuik8479]

IM PROUD OF U!! SHOW THAT PERSON WHO THE BOSS IS

[@Mattras7]

Oh yes, i accidentally said BLACKmouthing instead of BADmouthing. This was not intended and i am not a racist ;)

[@tzeruikuik8479]

+Mattras7 no worries, just pissed at some ppl who think that they are so called OP but still loses to the person who they called noob :)

[@razelanquartzsaver6419]

You sure showed them who's the boss!

[@GeneralBrysi]

I think the easiest way to fix this problem is to introduce skill based matchmaking. That would fix all these problems so you dont get in games with people who have never played the game before and use their ult to clear lane.

[@TinFoilHatx]

Yep. As someone who is constantly forced into the support role to even have a chance to not deal with shit players, i can tell you that shit players arent a rarity, this is coming from someone who plays casually and my casual MMR is high enough to be placed with GMS/Diamond in both Conquest and Arena. The matchmaking is soo bad in this game that i regularly go on breaks for months on end because it never changes and i can only try my hardest soo much and be disappointed soo much that my efforts are constantly worthless. I dont even bother touching ranked because its the exact same experience, its worse though because players get into brackets they dont belong and somehow can keep that rank regardless of going as low as a 40% w/l which makes zero fucking sense no matter what perspective you take on it. I mean there were PLENTY of masters with 40%~ w/l before gm was implemented.

[@SamArrow]

Matchmaking is based on skill. It tries to pair with people who have an elo close to yours, and the average elo of each team is around the same number. The only problem is that it doesn't even slightly work and hi rez refuse to acknowledge complaints about it.

[@simply_marko]

EXACTLY. WE NEED THIS!! What I'm also thinking is a new method for conquest. Before you queue, you are required to chose a role so there will be no more unhappy teammates or instalocks. You can only start a game if there are each of 5 roles in both teams: adc, solo, supp, jungle and mid. Adcs dont have to play hunters only, mid dont have to play mages only etc. Just calling roles in a more "official" way i could say.

[@Yoids]

Guys, the game is already skilled based for matchmaking. I know it is difficult to understand, but that 2-9 player has the same skill as you most of the time (unless strange hour and noone online). This game they are doing poorly, other game you will be doing poorly and that same guy will be 10-2 thinking why he was matched with a n00b like you.

[@katielim5582]

+Yoids yeah I agree. plus this game is made for anyone who wants to play. if they're just starting to play smite and failed, it's okay. they are just starting out. also having high players and lower player together is good, because you can teach them to be better instead of just playing for yourself. There are high player meaning these low player have the potential to be up to you, so help them out.(remember it's a community of people everyone has different skills, they just haven't found their right playstyle for them yet.) sure it can suck, but you can't really blame them. we have to also consider that they might be learning a new god that might be out of their play style. So play nice.

When there's a bad teammate/bad teammates on your team, if you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say anything. Thank you Raynday for bringing positivity into smite community, positive gaming HYPE!

[@kurbera]

Yes, completely agree! :D

[@aggitedkoala4137]

i agree

[@Wolfsification]

So true! I play like shit some times, but if no one is their to blame me, I'm abble to put this shit together and actully help the team for the victory

[@SunBro_Talos]

I can't tell you how many times I've had a teammate was negative and dying over and over and I thought they were trash then we get to end game and his/her build is complete and they completely turn it around. Don't judge a book by its cover and don't surrender, you'd be surprised how fast the pace of a game could change

[@simply_marko]

what if they don't get what they are doing wrong? they keep dying the same way but dont realise it and keep going and going and tilting and tilting. thats bad and i gotta speak up, and if they decline my advice im going to be more rude than him and leave him on his own, which will lead to him ending with 1/14

[@briantolman1203]

"I got a task for you... Uninstall, ya freaking noob" -Raynday 2016

[@ztsb45]

I'm really bad about getting angry at people who don't know what they're doing or keep screwing the team over by being too aggressive, sometimes. I'm typically calm about it, but if I've had a bad time where several games in a row someone has disconnected and I get into a game where, finally the whole team is there, but somehow it would be better if someone wasn't, I get really frustrated. I apologize to anyone who's been on the receiving end of my bad day

[@alpaca150]

When it becomes like that, I recommend just taking a step away from Smite or just going afk all together when the match ends instead of giving people shit. Being on the receiving end of harassment on Smite it can be super discouraging.

[@ztsb45]

+alpaca nono, it's mostly me just spamming the vgs, I don't actually say anything *usually* my bad for the miscommunication. I spam thing like woo-hoo and awesome, I'm on console so I don't type anything. OCCASIONALLY of someone is blaming things on the entire rest of the team via voice chat, I'll talk crappie back to them, but that's usually if they start it.

[@ztsb45]

+alpaca sometimes I do. if they're being given particularly toxic, I simply tell them to stfu and let people play once or twice before muting them.

[@Wolfsification]

You can say gently to someone how to improve their game. A lot of time, when someone is giving me shit, I told him: What can I do to be better? And they stay open mouthed or continy with their shit. I'm not messing with you! I really want to know how to be better!

[@ztsb45]

+Wolfsification oh, I do. I've openly asked people many times what they think I'm doing wrong, with sincerity, so I can fix it. but if the person going 0-10 starts bashing the team saying everyone else is bad, and won't listen to reason about how they shouldn't be so aggressive and should stay back to farm so they can catch up, then they don't deserve the kindness at that point.

[@lmcdoug23]

raynday I am such a big fan of your videos. I started watching after your how to be a better guardian vid and I have been enjoying them ever since. Keep doing what you are doing and keep pushing to make the smite community better man!

[@trollstheking2636]

Raynday wtf Am I suppose to do when I have teammates who think they can 1v3 a team?

[@RayndayGaming]

Stick with them if possible, if they won't stick with you. I have a video about this however coming out, I think it will help...

[@trollstheking2636]

Raynday Gaming Thanks hopefully it will help. Will keep a eye out for it

[@JetStreamGamer]

Well a good start would be to tell them to stop in a calm fashion. If that doesn't work then try to adjust your own playstyle around their actions. Annoying as that may be it's better than nothing and can still allow you a chance to win. Depending on the character I play I tend to use those type of players as bait to lure the enemy out and possibly catch them in a poor position if they are getting greedy with getting kills from said bait. If that doesn't work then whatevs not every game can go perfectly i suppose : P. Know I ain't Raynday but I hope the advice helps nonetheless.

[@trollstheking2636]

JetStream it was good advice

[@JetStreamGamer]

That's nice to hear : )

[@MrMajesticMajesty]

Great video Ray! I hope this vids were longer though, that way we can find more ways to get better at stuff. I've been using your tips not only for Smite but also for League and so far they have worked to make me better.

[@mikedunlock]

So happy you are doing this for the community. Your videos are a must watch for any gamer imo. Thanks for all you are doing!

[@soulstarx8]

this is some great advice. It's a different type of fun when you're think it's a bad game then you take charge like that. brings a new and dynamic aspect to the game

[@Call_MeJD]

It's crazy how much your say relates to real life scenarios. it's a good listen.

[@mavrikgames6388]

Thanks rayn. This helped alot, i recently got my friends into this and they are pretty nooby at it and arnt used to the amount of teamwork involved. It's frustrating when your assassin thinks he can 1v3 head on or your partners dont know how to coordinate correctly and end up getting 1 shot by the enemy team

[@neburiveS]

This is super important. Especially the "giving them tasks" thing because often times bad players are new to the game or dont know how to play any better and stuff like that really helps them. When I was new to smite I lost so many games until in one of them a friendly Ymir told me to "stay behind him" and "wait for him to engage" and generally giving me tips on how to improve and not die as much. And it helped so freaking much.

[@ThisisSparda]

thanks randay, you inspired me to make my own videos and I always refer to your guides before playing a new god you rock bro!

[@mamamiazakaria7481]

I love the positive vibes that this channel exudes!

[@RayndayGaming]

TY! Glad you found it!

[@kaij.4591]

Wow Raynday! I was just having a really hard time yesterday because 2 of my friends have been playing Smite for quite a while now and still don't seem to have improved at all. It made playing yesterday pretty rough. Then I wake up and get a notification on this vid and I'm just like, "PERFECT!" You're the best Raynday. xD

[@justalittlerest]

Hey Raynday, nice video. Love what you do! If I could make a suggestion for a video? You should make a video about your top favorite smite God skins. Might be a little different than your regular videos, but I think it'd still be entertaining nonetheless. Keep up the great work!

[@hamdoggyy7844]

Really enjoying these shorter specific videos Raynday. Keep it up

[@RayndayGaming]

Thanks buddy! Glad you find them valuable. I really like making them, so that is a huge plus. Always open to feedback as well to refine the series!

[@MILLENniumEntertainment01]

Thanx for this man i play some smite on my channel and there's been some times where I've had some horrible teammates and i just rage at them but i think this will help me out

[@yvansante1130]

Great vid man! Do you mind making a video about dealing with Toxic players? Because i've played so many games where i've just been ridiculed and bombarded with an endless amount of sarcasm that it REALLY makes playing unenjoyable.

[@furiousmoose4633]

Raynday, makin' smite more healthy with every vid, keep up the good work dude!

[@yvi.rousso]

Awesome tips! Thank you for the video!

[@devinalegria21]

What excellent advise. This video couldn't have come at any better time. You know, here lately, I've been running into, what I think are, horrific players, but you helped me to see it in a different way. I will take this knowledge bestowed from you, and use it to change the way of Smite! Side note: I don't know if you have any interest in mages, but I love to play as mages. More importantly, I love to play as Ah Puch. Maybe you can do a Smite 101 video about how to be a better mage. I would like to see what you have to offer!

[@jlouzado]

Awesome stuff thanks so much Rayn! :)

[@ziongamer6905]

Yaaaaay, the voice! Great vid as always. I tend to either mute them or ignore them myself.

[@humminbard728]

awesome vid, keep it up man!!

[@AlfredoSoraX]

Raynday you're like the Lawful Good character of Smite. I like your energy and your values and what you teach people. Not just about about lessons for Smite, but lessons for life, thanks you.

[@kugekianimations]

Great tips btw and great video overall

[@Adrasid-]

I noticed a lot of people talking about toxic/rude players so here is something I do. When it comes to people being toxic I like to say either "k" or "ok" to anything they say most of the time because most of time I find it stops them dead in their tracks quickly or at the the very least they ignore it and keep being salty/toxic, but I use that as a free self esteem because I think to my self "boy at least I am not this toxic or salty most of the time". Also, sometimes not saying anything can be a better course of action, but whatever you do DON'T BE RUDE,TOXIC, OR SALTY BACK TO THEM because it will likely make them worse and they may play worse since they are even more pissed or they may feed intentionally or go afk. Hope this helps anyone looking for some advice/help and keep up the epic work Raynday :)

[@grayfullbuster9831]

Ray u are an amazing person and you give amazing tips not both gaming and life,Keep it up!!

[@rcsimmons7272]

Positive energy rather than negative energy REALLY goes a long way. I do this all the time while playing smite. If someone is having a bad game this is honestly what I do. Especially because most players, (Including me) have bad games. Try to bring the moral up instead of focusing on your tilt. Try to balance back out your tilt and have that GOOD game. Love this video, thanks a lot Raynday!

[@ndr1863]

Great video. Taking this advice to hopefully have more motivation in SMITE.

[@RayndayGaming]

Thanks buddy.

[@ndr1863]

+Raynday Gaming You streaming on Twitch tomorrow on your personal stream?

[@jacobbcox1985]

Most bad team mates are those that just constantly over extend themselves and die and leave you in a constant disadvantage in the DPS numbers game. Be conservative and let your enemy be the aggressor. The biggest issue is don't dive unless you know you will survive. I am a very aggressive player and I love to tower dive but I know if I die from the dive the Exp advantage I lose. when. I die and they get the same Exp when I die. play smart play the long game out build and you will win the majority of the time.

[@isaiahsoul7812]

[@rattytattytowskr5147]

You have helped me with real life. You are a great person with a great heart. The community loves you raynday. Keep pounding.

[@the_beastcampos7770]

keep doing wat your doing bro u make my life better with these videos

[@RayndayGaming]

Thank you my friend. Much love to you

[@HTram]

Some good advice Raynday. Too many times I've seen players on my team stop in mid lane and bash on another teammate who is under-performing, which in turn doesn't help either. Also folks, don't get discouraged if the under-performing teammate doesn't heed your advice like sticking near the tank or focus farming to catch up on levels. It happens.

[@fedebaguena1724]

I do really agree with you Raynday, but experience taught me to not deal with people who is performing a game which is making the team lose, and are not wiling to listen or take any piece of advice. So, what i do is to block them after the game. It might seem radical, but all of us know and had experience with these "trolls". Even though is very nice whn you have a team who comunicates and help! It only happens one out of twenty games. And also, there's people who dos not know the dynamics of the game and get killed often, and apologies or ask for help; this is when i do try to help. Best regards from Spain, man!

[@dennissmirnov9350]

thank you so much for the advice

[@matthewdodd7]

Hey Raynday! Thanks for sowing positive seeds into the gaming community! Your message is really needed and adds a much needed aspect of good sportsmanship to the Esports world! A few other helpful tips in keeping the games positive and of good spirits are these 1. Communicate items that would be helpful to build AND Why. Instead of insulting people's builds try to give them a better option to feel good about to help improve the quality of the game 2. Don't waste your time typing messages about bad performance. It literally allows seconds to pass that you could be helping/accomplishing goals. Instead make your message about what you see is wrong, and what the SOLUTION is to the problem. This delivers a full criticism that redirects the energy of your team to rallying together instead of trying to hate on one another. 3. If someone is being mean to you, ask them what they would do differently and to speak kindly. This reminds them that the problem can be worked through and they aren't trapped with some troll that is trying to lose the game to upset people. 4. PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE, If you give an instruction and it works give positive affirmation. Nothing is better than that (VER) or (VEA) after a good call by a teammate to switch from a poor item choice or a reminder to rotate after a wave 5. Ask, don't Command. This shows that you aren't trying to be their overbearing teammate. Say Please/Thank You, this keeps up a positive attitude throughout the entire game. 6. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. You are wasting time focusing on their performance instead of focusing on what can be done to help them. Communicating displeasure with a teammate is about as useful as throwing a keyboard or mouse, it provides no benefit. Being a good teammate is about respect, communication, and willingness to compromise, make sure you practice these too!

[@FISHYSINKSMUM]

As soon as I watched this video I went in to a game of arena with a neith who couldnt really play hunter and a dc'd hun batz. It's like I was being tested. I basically kept my mouth shut, stayed positive and somehow we ended up winning with a 50 point lead. I'm the sort of player who loses morale quickly but this genuinely helped :D

[@DeathPikachu15]

heres a question. how can I deal with the entire team being terrible or trolling.. I announced I was jungling in conquest and I choose awilix and all the sudden all 4 of my teammates picks assassins...and they throw the game and if I try I surrender the game they wont do it...so how can I deal with this?

[@sum12stupid4u]

Hey Raynday I love your videos! I would really, really like to know your opinion on how to deal with people who are bad teammates but they also blame YOU for their deaths, even when you're actively trying to help them. I honestly am not a hostile ally and I do my best to deal with even the worst teammates.. but I have no clue how to deal with those people who feed and then constantly blame you for them doing stupid shit. I've had this happen a lot recently and I honestly have no idea what to do in those situations.

[@skatatataatje]

You are talking about a friendly player who sucks now. I don't mind those, hell, I even have those moments myself. It's the toxic AND bad players that are driving me nuts. Report system doesn't seem to do anything either, so yeah, what can we do?

[@renemendoza4461]

I think your completely right, I'm not the greatest player but I try to avoid blaming someone, in the end its just a game!!

[@valorxbl1577]

You should make a guide on my favorite guardian-Xing Tian! I definitely think that even though his alt is a little slow, he should be more used in the meta! I've been playing him since I started, and my absolute recommended build is: shoes of focus, breastplate of valor, ethereal staff, gem of isolation, stone of Gaia, and mystic mail. He can be combo' together with MANY gods, and I believe making him one of the strongest guardians in the game! (:

[@valorxbl1577]

Highly favored combo is use ult to throw enemies into teammates, use your 2 for stun, and then 1 for extra immediate + chip damage :)

[@SunBro_Talos]

Just pray the enemy doesn't have purification beads or you're useless. Lmao

[@jaredcoffelt924]

Hey Raynday I know you have a video on Agni build and gameplay already but could you do another one maybe for season 3?

[@standupman]

Your videos are so fuckking great and really inspirational, awesome job

[@FortunePayback]

The only issue I every have to deal with are with people that just aren't playing their role or playing they play the role wrong. And the worst part is that they try and argue. The biggest issue though is people that do fall behind and make zero effort to catch back up and just surrender or straight up leave. I generally just get frustrated and deal with it. Unless they do, then I'll adjust my playstlye and play around them and hope we can pull off a victory.

[@Derrick-dr2zj]

Im guilty for being a really toxic player who bm'ed every game and blamed everything on my teammates, thx for showing me a differnt way to deal with my frustration raynday

[@darkwaterentertianme]

We need a video about the bulling that is happening in smite. When you play normal vs not ranked you always get that one person that autolocks, and then tries to bully someone to be a tank or such. There was a really bad one the other day where he told us if didn't pick a tank he would report us so someone choose a tank, he said if we lost he would report us... Spammed thats too bad everytime someone died and was really toxic.

[@henryyanaway2554]

Hey Raynday, could you do more videos on Hades? I have played with him from my earliest days of Smite and have him a very high mastery but I am just never using him correctly. Thank you.

[@RayndayGaming]

Yeah, I actually played him a bit today. Not ready for a video yet but he'll be getting some love!

[@thechosenone5644]

Something on how to deal with players who disconnect would be nice. I always feel really guilty when it happens to me (and fairly frequently).

[@charliewardle8509]

[@aperson1974]

I've had a game where someone basically said to me in the chat(I was playing very aggressively because I was stressed) "freya, calm down. You don't have to kill everyone"And after that I tried to play as i normally would and it ended up being a decent game because early off someone told me to chill.

[@lordgrin4917]

The problem I have....and usually its with friends. They do not take my advice, I know they aren't the best players but when I tell you small ways you can do better or do something different to allow me to help you not die its just doesn't work. I get "its just a game" or straight to "You are being bossy I am not going to listen" and it fucking pisses me off when I don't say anything or just make a annoyed sound and then they ask what they did but then still don't listen. Lucky I only have 1 friend who is all three of those, worst part is that one friend wants to always be teamed up with another friend that actually knows what he is doing and listens and I can't always team up with him.

[@surfangel8572]

Aw man I thought this video was about dealing with angry players. I already do all these tips subconsciously.

[@omj4938]

I literally just got out of an assault match where literally one by one my whole team dc'd. Until I was the only one left. One eventually came back when they were at our Titan

[@yomybutthurtzzz8051]

Man I wish I could play with some positive ppl for once like this guy

[@Bernie2597]

I dont really know what my team mates usually expect from every roles in the team so I mostly just do whatever I can to help my team mates attack or escape the enemies, if I can that is.

[@sadlad2845]

how do you get the casting view, like when youre able to see fafnir's hammer or his leap. example in 0:40

[@echopunk1036]

One tip I can give to bad players, there's a huge difference between getting aggressive and being suicidal... Not many players seem to know that at all lol

[@norfrakenevermore7758]

What to do if 2 of the allys are disconected and another one is noob from some other country and you cant help him with chat and you have to watch him trying to beat the chaos titan alone and dieing every single time?

[@BubblingBrooke]

Great advice like always Raynday! Does any one have any advice for players that refuse to play? They don't participate but they also don't DC. I tried defusing a situation once and all I got in response was a "f*** you"....

[@prince_blz6084]

Yea send rage comments to THEM and carry the team. I had this situation and the guy was my friend. All i had to do was avoid ganks and take them out if they were ALONE.If i saw one coming to help I'd put on my Sanic shoes and go the other direction. Sometimes I'd just go for the kill even if i was going to die and put #Worth

[@timkreczmer5652]

Agreed I hate people like that

[@Ptolomey]

[@Batbear09]

Hey Raynday, love your vids man! I recently ran into a guy who reported me because I disconnected and when I was able to get my connection back I found out that I was reported and banned for two hours. I had also received a message of a guy thrash talking about how I quit the match and how reported me. It really ruined my night. So do you have any advice if something like this ever happens again, and how I can deal with it? Thanks

[@candiedfir7]

well, you just have deal with it soo you lost your connection and the match was over when u came back? its not your fault, but ur teammates dont know did u just ragequit or something so they get really frustrated because disconnecting may cost them a match

[@lakrits1767]

[@alirezaghasemabady5832]

[@JoseSantos-cy2xu]

I don't really mind when a teammate is doing poorly, I know that I've been that guy who just has a bad day and can't seem to play well, I'm pretty sure we all have, so I just don't pay much attention to it

[@ngergo6]

Most of the time in this channel, Smite pro tips are also life pro tips.

[@randomyoutubecommenter2327]

I always slip once or twice but most of the time I just give people tips in messages on how to get better

[@davidvides4876]

when its a casual game I just telp them its fine just play a bit safer don't engage until we say so but if I'm playing competitive I expect them to know what they are doing and that's where I call them out on what they're doing
