Great insight on the mental needed to perform at an elevated level in this game, is itemization something on the agenda for the next video? I often find myself buying the same items more or less in mid...

[@cacasrock123]

I learn a lot from watching your vids, not only in gameplay but in attitude because often in the solo the people spams taunt, laughs and rages to the jg even when they solo die and you don't do any of that stuff from the get go. A different perspective from the solo, more calm, analitic and better

[@jrodger4]

The best advice I can give players is to never die alone. Die under a tower, with minions, or with your teammates. Its gonna be alright.

"Often times casuals are more competitive than ranked" that's why i don't play ranked. Longer ques, longer picks & bans which also take longer, and just generally saltier people.

For someone who has played smite a long time but never got into conquest and now wants to do you (or nice KZbin comments section :) ) have any specific advise? I know a lot of what was covered in the video is applicable

[@DudeImFonz]

Your mechanics should carry over a ton so understanding kits and interactions will be fine. What you should do is play a variety of roles and gods plus watch a variety of good players on Twitch or KZbin and learn from them. Constantly be looking at the map and where people are on the map. In time you’ll learn how to read it and position correctly most of the time.

[@vane909090]

I'm new to Smite, hope this guide will help me. Thanks for uploading it. One thing, though about copying pros - while it's true even a regular player can learn a lot from them, one must keep in mind that the game environment a pro is playing in is usually vastly different than what the 'average Joe' is playing in. A pro will play and build according to their skill level and meta, and I've seen that when a hobby player like me copies pro gameplay, it can backfire horribly. Not just talking about trying to pull off crazy mechanical stunts, but also builds and decisionmaking. A pro will anticipate the decisionmaking of similar top tier players, but regular players, especially in lower ranks, will be mostly unpredictable and random.

It's nice to have this mindset but there are times when I'll hard carry 30 kill games and I'm trying my absolute hardest and I say nothing in chat and I'll get reported by like 5 different people either because my team didn't like a specific thing I did or the enemy got mad I slapped them. This happens a lot actually, more often then not I'll just get the message I was reported when I've said literally nothing and played the best I can and performed better than anyone in the whole game. This video is obviously for people who are being toxic and want to improve but when other players are threatening your account you can't help but feel frustrated.

[@DudeImFonz]

That sucks man I definitely understand the frustration, however if you aren't doing anything wrong you don't have anything to worry about. Hirez reviews your account and the specific games to see whether you actually did anything bad. You'll be fine!

[@KipVelcrono]

Here's a question about builds. I feel like I really struggle finding out what items really synergize with a god. One of my favorites is Ah Puch and I never getn close to the damage I see other players get with him. Do you have any tips on the best way to find items that work well?

[@DudeImFonz]

Michael Rono it depends on what you mean. Do you feel like when you hit all your abilities they do less damage in that situation or at the end of the game you end up with less damage?

[@KipVelcrono]

@@DudeImFonz moreso the actual damage being dealt. Using my example, I'll typically build enough cooldown to spam abilities giving me a good overall damage. I personally feel like the abilities I'm hitting aren't hitting as hard as they can. I always thought it might be an issue of not building enough pen, but I'm kinda stuck on what items are good for him.

[@miltonvillalba5172]

Michael Rono Most mages are ability based some are just burst damage mages and some are dot mages, a few can do both like Ah Puch he can do both but most of his damage comes from this combo explosion so he’s considered a burst mage. Try building things on him that help to hit or for when you hit the combo on someone for example, I’ve found Shamans Ring is great on him, Gem of Isolation also helps to hit your full combo on people.if you wanted to do a little extra burst damage you could try building Ethereal Staff or Soul Reaver. The game splits gods into categories, Ability based and Auto/ basic attack based. Meaning you have to either hit abilities to do most of your damage or hit Basic attacks for most of your damage. For ability based gods try building things that help their abilities like cool down and Pen items.For basic attack gods try builds things like attack speed and power. I hope you understand and that this helps.

weak3n did something similar to this and one of the major differences between this and his was you should only play one role and only the best 3 gods in that role so which one should i be doing?

[@mr.neverseengaming7253]

I found it beneficial to atleast know the basic attacks/passives of all gods so to have more knowledge of your opponent if just a lil bit. So experiment with the gods. I would recommend maining atleast 2 roles because alot of the time you won't get the role you want.

[@sonysdad4709]

MR.NEVERSEEN Gaming yeah I play support and mainly jungle because it’s the same role but I know how to play every role except I’m bad at solo but I tend to play all kinds of gods in every role and do well but I was wondering for my friends that are newer or less experienced since I’ve been playing for a few years

[@KekiSenshi]

Ah the wisdom that I wish wasn’t correct. Kinda like “ahhh I’m guilty and he’s right but I want to be right….” I needed this actually.

how to be better at smite. Don't play smite

[@Mystic480]

Yeah, well but what about people who feed the other team and clearly rely on being carried by someone else. So, therefore, you carry, die a lot, and then eventually lose. That is frustrating when you make your builds correct, stack basics, and get camps and or the giants before they do... So in my opinion, when people need blaming because they're not pulling THEIR weight the process of the battle that people call "chores" thenceforth that is completely obnoxious, AMAZING video, I myself did agree with 99% of the video except for one part. Great job! I will catch you in the battle maybe? :) -Olivia

[@darkness_weaver2710]

I expected a 26 minute video where he just yells. STOP PLAYING MAGES IN SOLO, DON'T FEED DONT FEED. Over and over

[@Aycauthon]

This video was... not what I expected? It feels like one of those "get better at life" videos that start out by saying "never give up, always work your hardest, don't see defeat as a loss but as a learning experience" etc. You're talking a lot about not getting stuck in one role, not being toxic, not being afraid to learn from those who are better than you, trying out different builds, trying out different match ups, expanding your god pool, playing casual games instead of ranked, studying your gameplay by recording it and so on... but, those aren't really Smite tips. You're right when you say most of the tips can be applied for most games. This might very well be a mistake on my part, cause I clicked the video expecting something else. My recommendations have only just recently started showing your channel, so I didn't know what to expect. What I was hoping for was more akin to: - How do you counterbuild? If your opponent has X item, should you rush Y item? - When should you postpone using certain abilities? - Why do pro players often engage in a fight that looks like it would put them at a disadvantage, but somehow they always come out on top? What aren't I (the rookie player) seeing? - Which items are still being shown on the popular items lists despite being outdated, and what should you replace them with? My point is, you're obviously a pro player with a ton of experience. But the things you're saying is common knowledge for anyone who doesn't have an inflated ego. I'm well aware that I'm sub-par, I try to reflect on my mistakes instead of putting the blame on my team mates, and I go from Smite video to Smite video in the hopes of learning about these things. Regardless, I'll continue to browse your stuff, cause there's definitely a lot of improvement in your content compared to a lot of other similar channels.

[@davidmoses4849]

No offense. But once you said you don’t have to communicate I turned the video off. That’s the worst advice you can give to new players or anyone is team oriented game. What were you thinking?? I’m sorry but you definitely arnt that seasoned or good If you believe that.... sorry but it’s facts. You need communication and specially in ranked. It’s a team game. Worst advice of 2020

[@fritoreaper]

Any way you can make a video guide about getting back into Smite for season 7? I’ve taken a decent sized break from the game but want to get back into solo. Quick vid showing, build, gods, lane play, etc. You the best FO!

[@FreedomLovingFox]

I love these types of videos!! Keep it up Fineokay! Also I have to say that I am happy with the route you took with this video! I also have fun talking about smite 🤓 All the topics you discussed in this video were about character, mindset, and ego. Which in my opinion are always the first factors anyone should consider when playing an online game. I think that a game that is competitive by design (A game like Smite) often makes us forget that we are all different people! Different people with different temperaments, this suffices to say that we should respect our differences and learn to play with those differences not without, this is a TEAM BASED game after all. Like I said above, I love the direction you went with this part 1! Now I hope to see a more mechanical and strategical breakdown of smite in a Part 2 :D

[@johnathanpretet5332]

I appreciate these videos. I’ve been playing for a long time and I’m a good player but I want to improve and be a better player of course. I think these ego checks and talking about it was very important and I appreciate this section because you’re absolutely right. I’m glad I found this channel very informative. For me one of my biggest downfalls is the items. I understand the items at its basics but I still have issues with reallt grasping them and what situations I should change up my set up. I’m trying to improve and luckily I have met someone who is assisting but I want to be able to also improve on my own. Thank you

[@SolidGoldoni]

Yeah I mean this is good for just proper gaming etiquette in general but it's not really how to get better at "Smite" specifically. Title is just a little misleading imo. I was expecting some more specific game oriented tips and strategies such as item buying order, counter building, when to retreat, how to navigate the map properly, when to push Fire Giant or Gold Fury, ability leveling order, etc. Now those things I listed take time to talk about but I'm sure there are a general set of guidelines for these things.

[@mafexitium8847]

Any guides or resources for positioning? I've been playing smite for years and I feel like it's my weakest skill and has directly contributed to countless individual and team losses. It's a skill I think that a person just learns over time, but I really struggle with it when playing against diamond/masters.

[@DungForever]

I have changed my Da Ji build so many times based on how other players I played against built her and I've discovered that while I genuinely love her, she doesn't mesh with my play style. Every match is a learning opportunity and I try very hard to be as friendly as possible with my teammates.

[@Soldew]

Could you make a video on the basics on solo and how to prioritize clear vs poke? I feel like I lose every lane against jorm and try to improve... also, warriors that rely on glad shield for sustain that can't always use it, and when they change the pots and chalice interactions then I will be really lost. I am very reliant on pots and chalice in rolls even beyond solo or conquest!

[@Soldew]

Also, I want to buy stone of gaia some games just for the sustain out of combat and between fights, warriors don't seem to have anything to help with it aside from glad shield, self heals, or FG... I really like characters like osiris, cu culian, nike, etc, but still, prioritizing clear vs poke, and sustain is tough.

[@droppin4075]

Not sure if you have already but I would appreciate a guide of how to build and how to know what and when to build certain items against whatever match ups cause I've been playing the game since season 2 and I get the gist of building but I need to break the habit of going on KZbin and looking up a build or memorising builds and only using that build
