Every SMITE Season In A Nutshell...

[@lynxdeception]

Ahhh, right in the nostalgia. When we stop playing this game we’ll look back on it so fondly. I didn’t think I’d be playing this for 6/7 years when I first downloaded it 💀💀💀

[@raynardburnett2640]

Facts!!

[@ZATN_loves_music]

Games addicting. I've played this game without a break more than any of my other games.

[@QuoTaDa]

The fact that I played this rollercoaster of a game since season 3 makes me feel old

[@thedoggbeast6942]

same i started playing on when ama was released!

[@Bot-Gaben]

Started playing in 2013 on chronos release, I'm about to die of old age

[@stechzm8341]

@@thedoggbeast6942 same I don't play anymore, so why the fuck do I still watch smite????

[@kevllie8396]

Started when Thoth was added, it's crazy.

[@robertnelson3262]

Season 2 vet here

[@SandanxStrike]

This is kinda bittersweet. Seeing how big SMITE started and what it is now is saddening. Wish I could have seen the game when it had all those regions. I once again say, SMITE should be WAY bigger than it is.

[@BasedChadman]

I blame the devs for that because a ton of people quit with some of the ridiculous changes they made

[@eligreg99]

Smite could’ve been bigger than LoL

[@TheTrickyTwix]

@@eligreg99 Absolute facts. The potential this game had was unparalleled, just handled poorly. I’m afraid it’s too late for any significant growth but hopefully they can maintain the current player base. Perhaps even a small increase if the devs play their cards right.

[@JagerFrostTroll]

@@BasedChadman Can you elaborate on the changes?

[@BasedChadman]

@Haakonson A lot of people disliked the removal of boots, the constant item shakeups that broke the meta and seemed like an oversight, the introduction and removal of systems, lazy fixes like invasion curse to end metas, etc.

[@switch-e1769]

You forgot to mention in Season 4, Shield of Regrowth was added to the Emerald item tree, allowing gods like Chang'e pick it up, which led to the reason why she has never been seen since.

[@vedondun7872]

I first played before season one began, then rejoined around season 3- just to rage quit and not play until season 5. Feels like a toxic relationship that I finally managed to work out now. Happily married to smite for almost 5 years now

[@skating7791]

Started in late 2012 to early 2013 and it was really cool to see the changes and improvements made in such a tangible way other than through fading memories or a wiki thread. Haven't played since Gilgamesh's release, but with the decade anniversary coming up (which i didnt know until i finished this video sadly), I have to jump in and get my feet wet purely for nostalgia.

[@whiteysmit6653]

26:30 RIP the season ticket. Forever missed.

[@glainn_]

RIP Limited skins for 40000 points ☹️

[@aplezorah]

Bro wether you're a relic or just love to study this stuff, it's always appreciated. I love knowing more about how smite used to be, and have been watching your old vids and frosts old stuff on repeat recently and it's just so interesting to see how metas used to be, what changed to make them not as meta, etc.

[@aplezorah]

Your videos are always appreciated

[@kevinnorwood8782]

First started playing right at the very tail end of Season 7. Would love to have witnessed a lot of the adventure modes that came before then, but I definitely do not regret starting when I did.

[@MadWampa]

The nostalgia is strong with this one. I’ve been playing since beta and this brought back so many forgotten memories. Thank you for this!

[@Zharioo26]

This is the best Smite video I've watched in a long time. Those 40 minutes felt like 4. Thanks for all your work bro, and don't forget to watch my nene

[@MasterofZekrom11901]

I remember I got into this game during season 1 when serqet got released. It was huge when she stopped being a top pick/ban after YEARS of dealing with her.

[@anthonyw99411]

Appreciate all the time this took! You rock!

[@Inters3ct]

[@gojiwarrior2479]

1:12 Same with the Old Sun Wukong Becoming Hun Batz and Rereleased as the new Sun Wukong

[@michaelmiller3012]

Started in Open Beta, shortly before the Chaac release. Still love to play Smite, Still bad at the game anyway... now feeling old. :)

[@dawastedpig3319]

The adventure game modes were so fun I miss them. I used to only play the adventure modes instead of the actual game lol.

[@lickerswalrus5781]

What a video dude! Im sure this took a while to make, and as someone who just started playing smite mid season9 (july ‘22) i had no idea about a lot of this stuff. Thanks for the great content intersect

[@Yoshyguy21]

I started playing Smite in early 2014 (and sadly missed out on Cacodemon Ymir by 2 or 3 levels) and I played it a ton until mid-late 2015, where I gradually played less Smite since I was getting into League. I stopped playing Smite altogether somewhere in 2016, between Fafnir and Erlang's releases. I started playing it again last year and, as of now, I play it every so often with my friends, with whom I used to play back then. I still like League better overall, but I have fond memories of Smite and usually have fun playing it too. It really is crazy how much the game has changed since 2014.

[@isaiahl7727]

I started playing Smite when Awelix and Hou Yi were new. That's crazy

[@Radium-Ra-88]

Nice vid! I appriciate how long looking into each season must have taken. Smite is one of those games I've been able to play off and on for years. Def one of my top 5 games of all time.

[@ArcDite]

I miss the old days of SMITE eSports. Just that trash talk and competitiveness between NA and EU teams made for good entertainment

[@alejandrofernandez4159]

I'll never forget my first time playing. Chronos had just been released, and a couple of friends from Uni and I met up for a lan party. Neith was my first God because I had just paused playing my hunter in WoW, so she seemed a natural fit. Can't believe it's been almost 10 years

[@Lukastar1]

Great nostalgia, although I’ve never really followed SPL despite starting this game at the end of S2 lol

[@xxmoonspellxx1801]

I started playing back when Hou Yi was the newer god and then Bellona was the first character release I witnessed, this video gave me such nostalgia 💗. Love ur content, keep it up 🥰✨

[@Inters3ct]

[@AndyChung27]

Exactly the same for me, I can still vividly remember the Bellona main menu (and how busted she was lol). That was when I was 14 and now i'll be graduating uni next year, the nostalgia is real.

[@emilliovitelli2176]

I played smite from the nox release until the middle of season 3 and haven't touched it since. This video has me very interested in returning. Should I wait for season 10 or just hop in?

[@steaktar3241]

Your recaps of the spl results were all very engaging, gripping even

[@eccod]

I started at the tail end of season 3, played for around a year, and then quit until recently. I have so many new gods to learn...

[@wiiagent]

This was very educational to a new player like me, thanks

[@joakyduran1820]

I didn't know I started playing on S1, the first god release I saw was Serqet. During that time some people had the beta player profile picture. Really fun times.

[@insolidusyt]

Great video. It's weird to see how Smite is one of those games whose player base pretty much expects it it to die at some point. But somehow still keeps going cus of some wacky gems coming from the devs (Cthulu realease, Smite cars, crossovers). As a free-to-play I also feel that its cosmetics are one of the most reasonaby priced out there. Hard to believe that I've been playing this game for almost 8 years now.

[@GraesonBat]

It’s so weird to think of gods like baron samedi as being new and then seeing this video and seeing that they’ve already been out in circulation for years

[@slightlyreptilian1137]

Love your videos, but I think I love that you used divinity 2 original sins music as your transition sounds between clips!

[@andzzcage4253]

2 years later , Smite 2 has come ..so i guess this is an end of an era . Wp

[@ithinkweallmakeitshine8881]

I started playing this game when Erlang Shen came out and you did a phenomenal job annotating everything! 🙏🏽 It was nice knowing what happened from seasons 1-3. I appreciate the hard work you put in this video and as always looking forward to your next videos 🔥

[@VialofNMTears]

I played this game from before season 1 to season 4-5 and just now rejoined playing this game. Tbh idk why I left. It’s pretty fun and relaxing if you don’t care about winning 24/7

[@thomaskane9464]

This is awesome! I started playing in season 2 when I was in middle school. I’m now in college it really hits checking back in on this game.

[@kristoferhailes4627]

I started a little before season 1 and quit playing for a year or 2 after release Bellona just wore me down (I never saw release Guan so this was hands down the most bust god release I had and have since ever witnessed). I still followed the pro scene though and this video brought back some great memories. The game has had its highs and lows but always pulls me back in, an entertaining game if nothing else.

[@samialivand1511]

Anubis feet and walk in season 1 will never stop cracking me up

[@LazarouDave]

Hearing that Mages couldn't fvxk with tanks back in Season One...can we go back to that please? I'm sick of my 325 of both protections builds getting 2 shot bc mages are broken 🙃

[@Pozzy]

You should do a tier list for each season, might be an interesting video

[@lordstingray8341]

No need for tier list (season 1-2 best and real SMITE game)

Damn. More happened in S1 than I thought. It's hard to believe I've been playing it since Khumba was released lol.

[@Thaddyum]

The two metas the live rent free in my head from early smite is definitely the dirty bubble meta and tank boots meta from season 3 when all the assassins would build tank boots and be unkillable the rest of the game

[@DexiduousRose]

Music used at 33:13-33:19?

[@Skaatje]

Amazing video this, so many memberberries. You may now officialy call yourself a Smite Historian! ❤

[@Omgbbqhaxlolol]

It hurt's and makes me want to play again to watch this video. I started playing back in beta. I can't remember if it was Bacchus or Xbalanque that was the newest god at the time, I'm pretty sure it was Xbalanque when I started, but I also have a vague memory of Bacchus being new, but that could just be from people telling me that while I played. When Thanatos was added I took one look at his kit and said "yep, he's my first Legendary" (this of course was before the diamond skins). His kit was so much more dangerous at the time. his abilities took % of TOTAL health, not current, his 1 took 10% health, his 2 was 5%, his 3 was 10%, and his ult was 15%. They made his 3 regular abilities all 5% of current health and his ult is now 10% of current, but at one time, just to use your full kit you had to sacrifice 40% of your health. Granted, you use one death scythe and you've got it back, let alone if you get a kill during the fight, or have lifesteal. He played so much differently back then, I dominated on him, average 10.5 kills a game, 4.7 deaths, only god I have with more than a 2.0 k/d across all games. 188 games, 102 wins, 86 losses. Got him 1200 worshippers before I stopped playing him though. Of course I subsequently picked up Hel upon her remodel and now she has my highest win rate of 73%. Thanks for the trip through the memories. Kind of want to go play again haha.

[@treaustin1]

Season 1 and 2 was the last time I was really keeping up with competitive. Pretty sure I got fed up with some rager in ranked and that’s what brought me to assault. Dig was the bomb.

[@boomknight1015]

Just like in League gold gain was ignored till it was being used to rush some builds then getting nurfed to hell even though it's strong in any build and always will be.

[@ajlassick5982]

Man, I remember starting to play this game when Rat was just released. Can’t believe it’s been so long now, I feel like an old man

[@bryanhernandez4020]

imma make you feel older. I started playing this game when I was 14. I am now 22.

[@mrkickdoors]

Seeing a 40 minute vid is definitely a good way to end a pretty shitty day thank you and you get my vote for the golden bolt! Cheers

[@Essman614]

Great recap, but I feel like you neglected to mention when Xbox went into closed/open beta and launch. It was awesome. Having played in smites closed alpha with the utility stat and other wild action when I got into the Xbox beta after not playing for a year was crazy

[@rustyshackleford9154]

Great video. Made me realize I've been playing smite since season 2. I had no idea it's been that long.

[@Khalmidgar]

I played in beta when it was side jungles and you could have every buff so junglers were op as hell. I quit playing around season 4, so many changes that just made things not fun. Have some good memories of the game though. I feel like smite couldve competed with the big mobas if hirez knew what they were doing.

[@happyhour7871]

Been playing since beta watching drybear and squiiddish game play, CRAZY too see how far this game has gone

[@Crimson-Hat]

"Smite huh? idk what this is but it looks cool. I'll try it" Me browsing the Switch Eshop

I play this game since open beta and S1-5 feel like a feaver dream when I think about them

Great expression the evolution of Smite! Thank for the great content, keep up the great work!

[@xxac3zn8zxx87]

It's just kinda wild to me when I look back when when I first started playing back at S3 how different it was. I think I came right before the Erlang Shen release

[@wyattmcmanus6872]

Can’t believe I played this in season three then stopped right after the skadi release and finally started playing again mid season nine.

[@DrDino123]

Love this video!!! The nostalgia is so good!!

[@MrProdigy810]

Ah season five. The season where all the paragon players started their migration

[@gian_zapattini]

Im new at this game and i love it, its my first moba, i started at season 9 shiva debut, the people who complains the most of the game r usually people who played 4 a long time. Its a fun game, kinda hard at the beginning.

[@thegeminidk]

I’m nostalgic for the open beta days, but I think the game has improved so much since then (even if I did have a hiatus for S3 and part of S4)

[@nemassista3105]

I started playing when Ama came out. Cant believe its been so long it doesnt feel like that many years

[@THEDILLYWIGGLE]

2:45 is so funny lmao. PENTAKILLLLLLLLLA

[@RamboUnchained]

Holy shit…penta kiiiilll was S1?! Sheesh. I took a mean hiatus, reinstalled and played for like 3 days before I realized I wouldn’t have the time to dedicate to it recently. Smite was the first moba I ever enjoyed. Played from closed beta all the way thru about 2016. It took the place of COD as my main game. I was destroying a conquest lobby in 2012 when my wife went into labor. Me and Eonjc met in MW3 and I introduced him to the game. Felt great seeing him take it to the pro level and win. Smite will always be near n dear.

[@welfareacquirer2046]

Started at beginning of season 4 with ganesh release. Season 5 best season so far

As an original Beta player, this makes me feel very old

[@saiky4686]

Men IDK i started in Season 3 when thoth game out. I wasnt a hardcore gamer back then more like a casual player who never watched eSports. But Smite got me into it and I started playing ranked every day. The game was SOOOOOOO GOOD back then even tho with some kind of broken Items. Nowadays the game feels just like afk farming to 20. Especially Sololane. ( not saying IT IS but it just feels like it)

[@WillMusgrove-xn6kv]

Started playing at the very end of season 1. Such a great game.

[@saintoffire7503]

God I joined the game around the Rat update when it was first added to xbox. I didn't think that was season 2 though. Been around alot longer than I remember lmfao

[@ChristianHada]

[@Ouchmyhole]

I never realized just how long I’ve been playing this game 💀 I remember being hyped about the Medusa release…. Season 2 💀

[@Platypusb1ll]

I honestly don't understand why people apprently prefer the season 3 joust map over the season 7 one. Season 3 map always seems to end up at a boring standoff at the losing team's towerline because there is so little farm to gain with your pressure. Also, the season 7 has two flank routes around the tower.

[@xzero7378]

golden bow was my favorite meta, felt like one of the few times i could actually carry a game
