From League of Legends to Smite 2 as MEDUSA | Part 1

[@Sp1rK]

Thank you for your honest review and i'm really glad you enjoy the game! I have some 9000 hours on smite 1 and i too spent a lot of money on cosmetics (up until season 6-7). Smite 2 is still in Beta and is MILES ahead of smite 1 could ever hope to be. UE5 was needed as an upgrade. People on steam bash the game because of them losing skins purchaced in smite 1. They are not reviewing smite 2 based on gameplay, graphics, sound, matchmaking, overall performance etc which is unfair for the game and the devs who stepped on the pedal and made a complete turnaround in the last 2-3 months! Now that the god roster has variety, they will focus on map changes and new mechanics WHILE porting 1 god every week and a completely new god every 8 weeks. In case you didn't see Aladdin, that character is insane! NOTE to the "muh skins" doomers: the devs are also porting the most popular skins over to smite 2 and you can pay them with legace gems (currency refunded to you from smite 1). I don't know of any company getting out of their way to compensate and thank the player base for their support. It is a F2P game after all and they need some sort of income.... Anyways that's my general thoughts on smite 2 and i hope you stick around! P.S. Last weekend smite 2 had over 40k concurrent players which i think beat the all time high of smite 1 during covid. Nuff said.

[@2SK3TCHY]

I appreciate the info drop, especially from someone who not only has the time invested, but the knowledge about Smite 1 (S1 from now on) and its history, in particular the community reaction going into Smite 2 (S2 from now on). I agree with you that many people are leaving hate on steam simply due to what they personally think Hi-rez should have done, which weirdly enough, nobody mentions a fair solution, but sure do know how to hate. I'd like to gesture to anyone who talks negatively towards S2, to approach it as a NEW GAME. In that case, people should not have the need to feel this desire to be compensated items for free, simply because there is a number 2 behind the word Smite. Clearly a ton of work has gone into S2, and it deserves to be maintained and funded as such. S1 is still available to play, besides it may have died or be dead without this resurrection, that many of us seem to enjoy. F2P gamers need to realize, just because it's free to play, trying to remain a F2P gamer and not spending any money, and lets be honest most people try to spend the least amount as possible, actually hurts the product. I can't talk on behalf of the memories people have made in S1, but like i said - it's always there to revisit, it's not like CSGO, where they slapped a 2 on it and left the original behind. :) - wow I'm wordy, sorry i just like this topic, I'm very interested it stuff like this~

@maniahahaha6743durr hurr durrr. Being retarded is cool

[@avipinckney]

Nailed it! Thanks for the thoughtful summation.

[@mohamedfox23]

i wouldn't say miles ahead, S2 still has alot of refining to do. i would say they are moving in the right direction(sometimes) some characters in S1 feels so much better to me than in S2 but i feel that is because hirez is overwhelmed right now they are doing too much too fast. and for the ppl that are saying all my time in S1 was for nothing i kinda get it, i haven't played smite1 in 2 years but i have thousands of hours with all gods unlocked free to play up to the time i stopped playing, so when i opened Smite 2 this weekend i was surprised i had nothing ported and i only had 5 god that are free in the rotation kinda sucks right? so 30$ =30$ but but 4k hours played = nothing

For you coming to Smite 2 recently, you did great! Keep it up! it is always fun to see new people coming to Smite and most people passionate about the game share the same sentiment.

[@2SK3TCHY]

Hey, thanks!

[@leoogarza]

Its very interesting seeing how much your understanding of league helped you out in smite 2. Nice Vid!

[@2SK3TCHY]

right? I'm also surprised. The items and abilities, plus all these new gods (they are new to me) however...now THAT'S what I'm having difficulty with. last night i learned playing solo as Odin into a Hercules is a nightmare lol at least for a noob like me~

[@insolidusyt]

Yeah it's not the best match up. Not unwinnable, but Hercules is easier to play for newer players I feel.

[@WallyDaDeity]

Is there a VGS type system in LoL? Like being able to say "Enemies missing middle"?

[@kytsunix1654]

@@WallyDaDeity there isn’t exactly, the closer there is is the ping system, where you have a variety of pings you can use, such as a ping for saying “enemy missing” or “I’m coming this way” but yeah, for example the prior example of ping you’d need to pay attention where the ping is at since it doesn’t specify

The Medusa statues if you break them give you permanent stacking strength and intelligence, and if you dash through them the cool-down is halved

@ haha yes it’s 5 of both strength and intelligence, you also get a bigger buff that’s NOT permanent when you break them too (currently obsidian 2 I have no life)

This was a pleasant video to watch, seeing someone who hasn't had that much experience with Smite playing Smite 2 was a very enjoyable watch. The "criticism" it''s been getting on Steam is insane and was a refresher watching you enjoy it, I have gotten back into the beta myself and loving it.

[@2SK3TCHY]

aww, I'm happy to have any sort of positive impact :) - I wish there was a better review system, but that just calls for being bias. There is some real misinformation in those reviews, it kinda just sound like people are writing things just to downvote it, as if it would help anyone it didn't succeed.

[@bluearkdragon3739]

USING VOICE COMMS TO ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE??? couldnt be me or my team

[@nainfuego]

My new favorite type of videos are league players trying smite. I can't get enough of it lol. Been playing for over 10 years looking forward to more smite!

[@2SK3TCHY]

Glad I can help entertain ya with some smite 2 shenanigans~

[@GodLaxus]

Good to see some more League players coming over to check out SMITE. It's a great game and only gets better as you get better at the game. I'm sure it's the same with league. I've been playing since 2013 myself. The game is very fun and SMITE 2 will only get better

[@pandarific]

I'm glad to see you're having fun with smite 2! Once your elo gets a bit higher, your opponents will gain object permanence. They'll be more warey even if you don't show. The statues your ult makes with Medusa are good to spit off of. When you're ready to take off auto build (don't rush that. It's a big step for newer players) try blue stone on Medusa. It's very strong early game. It will go well with your aggressive amd confident play style you bring with your moba experience. Snow balling is brutal in smite. Ask more questions to chat/comment section. Things you wanna know about smite mechanics or even advice for builds and gods to try. I've been playing a long time and still a shitter, but smite veterans are here to help. I hope you keep having fun!

[@quibbical]

Really really enjoyed the vid. Love the feel of just chatting and gaming. Keep up the good work!

[@SweatyyyWraith]

Ik you’re not new to mobas but watching someone play smite as a new player is fun to watch lol I wish I could go back to my first games after watching this , glad you like it

[@2SK3TCHY]

hey thanks man! that's good to hear, i like the game alot. Id love to make more content around it too, curious what other things you'd love to watch that i could help entertain you with :3 i might try every god at some point once i feel comfortable enough~

[@lunyswordpersonalaccount1126]

Kinda hope you keep playing Smite 2 and making content, it's honestly really nice to see simpler style content like this, reminds me of the early Smite 1 days :D

[@2SK3TCHY]

hey thank you! In your own words, I'm curious to know how I can contribute more, with the already very good and established roster of other creators of smite (some of them pro). That way i can aim for content that's for my time to work on and your time to be entertained by. would love to hear from ya~

[@lunyswordpersonalaccount1126]

@@2SK3TCHY Sorry only just seen this, honestly keep doing what you're doing. Your content is just fun to watch, I would love to see you learn items as you're still on auto builds, saw your video playing as Ymir today where you talked about playing ranked - I wouldn't recommend that until you start using custom builds (even if just using what other people have come up with) as the auto builds work but haven't really been updated as balance changes have come out

[@MultiSapMan]

Dude the chaac listening to guide is so funny 😂😂 Edit: Also yeah a lot of the "criticism" smite 2 has been getting is either complete misinformation or unfair for anyone. Theres a lot of that in the reviews and while i could list it out it just isnt worth. It really is just a buncha people with wildly wrong expectations Edit of the edit: I really love that you use voice chat and give callouts

[@2SK3TCHY]

thanks man! yea i think just being polite over voice and wanting to play the game how it should be played makes other be kind in return :)

Hope you enjoy your time in smite 2! Always nice to see new players enjoying this amazing game.

[@2SK3TCHY]

I sure am! Especially the gods, oh man...so many to learn~

[@2SK3TCHY]

Edit: sometimes you can catch me streaming it: www.twitch.tv/2sk3tchy I use Auto Ability (Game chooses my abilities and levels them up for me) and Auto Purchase (Game builds a preset of items) - I'm still new to Smite 2 and all it's items and abilities, doing this allows me to not only enjoy the game, but i'll be able to learn all of the above at my own pace when i want to. Instead of buying and leveling all the wrong things as a total noob to the game :)

[@vasiliynkudryavtsev]

You can tryout different builds in practice pve (jungle practice in smite1), though.

[@Jeraco24]

Love the open-mindedness you have coming into the game! Smite 2 has some hurdles to cross, but with people like you, we will get there. I have close to 6k hours in this game and i love it to death. I hope to see more from you and watch your progress. If you ever want some pointers, I'd be happy to help you out, especially on your twitch. Keep up the great work my guy. And maybe if i ever wanna play league ill hit you up!

[@2SK3TCHY]

I'm definitely open for help, it's a lot to learn all at once. The items and what to buy are going to be hard. I see some content creators make these videos with their cliche thumbnails (which i adore lol) that have the 3 items and the hero on them, but most of the time is some weird off meta, or very specific cheese strat. Which right now is beyond my comprehension - so ill stay with autobuy for now lol

Around the 6:00 min mark during abilities u can blink/flash and it won’t cancel them if you didn’t know so u can blink mid ult to surprise or do a sick play

[@ossianmalmborg743]

Don't know if you already figured this out but, Medusa statues can be destroyed for a permanent boost to stats. You can see it in the expanded description of the ult if you hover over it. I would recommend reading through the expanded description for most gods since they have small effects here and there that can be relevant.

[@bmsonic7468]

After putting about 2000 hours into Smite (yes, it was a problem, I failed out of engineering college bc I was addicted af), and then roughly 500 hours into League, there's pros and cons to both. The depth and complexity of roles/builds/comps was far greater in LoL. The adc's are more balanced in Smite due to the nature of all autos being skillshots. In LoL I realized that adcs have a hard time being balanced bc of the fact that you don't have to aim for autos. Happy that you're enjoying it! I love Medusa btw, she hits HARD. If you want another adc that scales off of intelligence, I recommend Sol. Loved her in Smite 1, not sure how she is now. Either way, great video!

[@2SK3TCHY]

oh that's cool! if i gave you my league heroes, would you be able to recommend gods based on their similarities? Kennen (top) Lucian (adc) Jax (jungle) Lux (mid) Gragas (support)

[@bmsonic7468]

​@@2SK3TCHY I'll try my best (: Kennen - This one's hard, cause there's no alternate mana system (yet, there was a god Cu Chulainn who worked almost exactly like Gnar). I'd say if you're looking for the burst/lightning/flashy combos I'd say Zues. If you're looking for the mobility and safety of a top laner, I'd recommend Hua Mulan (yes, THE Mulan). There's two sides of the same coin, though, as each lacks something from being a true Kennen arch-type. Lucian - If you're looking for the minigun ult, I'm sorry to say that there really isn't one outside of Anhur, but he doesn't really play like Lucian does. I'd say if you're just looking for a great auto + ability weaver with some primo schmovement, I'd recommend Jing Wei. Jax - There's a few options for this one. If you're wanting the lockdown gank type of playstyle, choose Fenrir (he's pretty much WW). If you're wanting the incredible tankiness while still dishing out hella dmg through autos, I'd say you have a few options. Thor and Nemesis fit this build alright, but their kits aren't really similar, and they're relatively squishy if you fall behind. You can also choose Hades, he's tanky, has mobility, and a great ult that gives him defenses, but he's a mage and doesn't really work that well in the jungle as he struggles to chase his enemy down. Lux - Ra. Straight up. Basically, just Lux with no hard CC (sad, I know). Skill shot, light cc (my retinas), a little bit of utility (but it's a heal instead of a shield), and a fuckin' BIG BOOM, straight up GAS ult. Gragas - Ok Gragas support is a wild one but let's see. If you're looking for displacement on a drunkard who is obnoxious for everyone around him, it's Bacchus. 100%. If you're looking for a tank/utility caster to play support, I'd say Yemoja (her ult is disgusting yet incredibly beautiful). I'm sure I'm not 100% on these, and given the limited roster of only about 50 gods (there was 130+ in Smite 1), I'm sure that later down the road when they add more of the OGs you'll find some that fit the bill better! Good luck friend! EDIT: After looking through the pool again, Sobek can work as a Gragas replacement, but he works as being more of a "pick and pull" type of support. HUGE damage on his ult if you charge it up all the way.

Been playing smite for a while. Smite 2 has had a rough launch but it’s gotten a lot better. Always loved the idea of MOBAs but did not like the top down aspect like in League or Dota. Highly recommend giving it a try to anyone that’s interested

[@nichlasbundgaard5583]

Looks like it was a fun match! You already sound like you have a good grasp of the gods used in the game, but i'll throw in some info about Chaac for good meassure. Chaac is a character who has big circles as his abilities, but his first ability (where he throws his axe) ties the next abilities together. When his axe is down using his second abillity teleports Chaac to his axe before using the ability, his third ability copies the rain and slow effect that Chaac created around himself. The slow stacks so you can really lock someone down by overlaping them. His passive is that when you hit someone with your basic attack you gain a "charge" when fully stacked the next ability you cast cost 0 mana and heals you a little. Best wishes for future matches. 😁

@2SK3TCHY Sounds good! If you'd like then may i suggest the channel Brutal Maglini Time. Their focus is on pure chaos and character combos, which i think is fun and would love to see more of personally. But start off with just enjoying the game and get to know the gods anf see where it takes you. 😁

[@Smoke_Breath]

Chaacs 2nd ability gives him protections based on the amount of targets hit. So if you level this ability first and combine it with the heal (which also slows attack speed) then you become very hard to box early - mid game

Honestly as someone who has played a decent bit of smite 1. I am super excited for Smite 2. It seems like it is heading in an amazing direction. I love that they are attempting to open up the complexity of the game. I always hated how hard they tried to make smite 1 more simple and accessible for the casual player base.

[@absgames9425]

The little diamonds below their pictures at the top left are your teams ults. The champs you turn into stone are so you can bounce your 2. Also try a build with the starter bluestone and cool down reduction, cause your 2 melts them with that, its pretty op cause it has a lot of range.

[@2SK3TCHY]

Thanks! That's some good advice, I'll keep that in mind!

[@curseddeity6379]

btw there's voicelines that say ''gank left/right lane'' which is super helpful in letting your teammates know you are on your way to gank so they don't push up too far but lure their lane opponent away from tower and they can anticipate comboing their ult with yours. especially with combos like a stun with zeus ult 🧑‍🍳💋

[@gamedierepeat3351]

Reading smite 2 negative reviews is hilarious to me. The overwhelming majority is people complaining about: 1) Things that are objectively incorrect 2) Needing to spend money on skins and very few seem to dislike the gameplay of smite 2, which is pretty damn good

[@allste626]

I love the game but I think they have their head up their butts with Aladdin release; most bloated kit in SMITE history with totally unnecessarily high damage scaling. Hopefully they pull their heads out long enough to nerf him in the upcoming balance patch; if not I'll be taking a break. He cannot exist in SMITE 2 in his current state.

Something about Smite is clearing waves is much more easier to do safely. Its less a game of poke in mid and duo lane and more how you can clear wave and try to take side objectives. Most gods just have too much mobility to try and secure a kill or can clear too fast to try and poke. Otherwise your the enemy can capitalize off that and take advantage that your wave is behind.

[@bumbafa6181]

Your game sense was really good. Can't wait to see what you can do when your mechanics for the game are more polished. If you need any basic guides for the game, Inters3ct and Weak3n make good videos that explain key concepts of the game.

[@PurpleNinja177]

If you look at your team portraits at the top left of the screen the blue diamond is bright if their ult is ready. And you can see how close it is to being ready in quarter segments. And I think it starts flashing when it is just about to be ready.

[@Dust1000]

Chacc is very simple solo or iung / mid flex pick, he has 3 circle abilities hard to miss, constant throw your 1 for constant dmg, you can teleport to your 1 or cause it to make a large slow area when u press your 3 , his ult does solid dmg and is a silence , his passive grants him free ability no mana cost after like 4 basic (unless they changed it in smite 2. ) his aspect changes his 3 from heal to dmg, that’s the short summ on chacc

You should try predecessor

[@MrBandoftheHawk]

cool to see league players trying out smite 2 and having a positive reaction. I've played smite 2 for around the same time you've played league but only barely played any other moba. the people upset about the skins/gems debacle are kind of misinformed. You get half of the gems you ever spent in smite 1 as "legacy" gems in smite 2 and you can use those to pay in legacy gems for half of a purchase in smite 2 so they should be happy that they allowed you to basically get half off of EVERYTHING forever for smite 2 if you had a lot of gems. ( i got about 470,000 legacy gems) so i'm basically never going to have to pay for full price for anything in smite 2, seemingly and I'm more than happy for that. PLUS they are porting over skins from smite 1 to smite 2 gradually which you can spend JUST legacy gems on so you essentially get a better, updated version of your old skins for free. No reason at all to be upset.

[@joacoconut]

you played this very well, gg wp

[@2SK3TCHY]

thank you!

[@Element_Doom]

I'm wondering, have you ever played LOCO / Land of Choas Online? Old game, but very much like Smite, except you pick two characters, letting you burn swaps to change characters mid game, and each character had 8 basic abilities and 2 ultimates to pick your 4 basic and 1 ultimate from. You also had to gear each character with item sets, that would sort of determine your base stats, rewarding OTPing.

[@2SK3TCHY]

Sadly i have not. This is actually the first time hearing of it. Looks like there is a version of it coming to steam??? I love how dated it looks haha. Hey maybe i'll give it a try when it comes out of Early Access~

I want more

[@WallyDaDeity]

I would say MOBAs and Hero-Shooters are in the same family, so I get the comparisons.

[@zazollo]

The cosmetics thing has been a massive issue in the community to such a degree that Hi-Rez has actually gone back on some of their previous plans. There’s been several changes to the inflation of the “legacy gems” currency and there actually are now skins ported from the original game which you can essentially get back for free if you played Smite 1. So in a sense I’m glad the community kicked up such a fuss because it’s gotten us a more consumer-friendly product, but at the same time it was done in a way that ultimately hurts the game (review bombing). Anyway, I hope you stick with Smite long enough to see all the old gods they’re porting over to the new game! There’s 130 in Smite 1.

[@Azealothe]

I am also long time league player, couldnt get into smite 1 when friends showed me but smite 2 def hits different, and id be playin way more if i wasnt making my own game rn 😅

[@idontcare4680]

Long time Smite player here... I just wanted to say i tried League first, i liked it but i got really annoyed at the spam click to move and the minions last hit mini-games that i had to learn just to stay relevant so i did not play that much and stopped. A year later i found Smite and the wasd movement felt much better to me and you still get like 75% of the gold if you are in range when a minion die so it's much easier to learn when you are still new to mobas in general.

[@2SK3TCHY]

yea, League is crazy with the amount of clicking you have to do. I never sat down and thought about that, uh... I guess, now that you mention it. Smites movement does seem a little more natural due to WASD, so interesting. Why did i never think of that lol

[@2SK3TCHY]

like years ago, and very little

[@Adon_key]

Diehard moba fan, i think its fair to compare smite to marvel rivals Alot of game sense transfers from smites 3rd person view boxing like combat Rivals just has a y axis And i think smites conquest mode feels death-matchy atleast in my mmr

[@zachoconnell5445]

Farm these goobers 8:30

[@Zanroff]

Solo lane is tank. That's why ra is building tank.

[@2SK3TCHY]

OHH, that makes more sense now

[@melebix3581]

not every time solo is tank

[@MutedAndReported3032]

Lol, I relate to that Hecate She can barely even come to the lane without being instantly deleted. Even under the tower she got Ares ulted and murked by Medusa lmao What is a player even to do at that point lol

[@revan5293]

I can tell you play legal legends you know how mobas work. Are you do is learn the characters bro and you’re gonna be good

[@Haru_no_ki]

The only people who give negative review to this game are the doomers from smite 1. I was an alpha tester for smite 1. Smite 2 is much better in beta than smite 1 was

[@blackhawkdown56]

THE WORST ABOUT SMITE 2 IS Q TIME 5 MIN to find ranked geez

[@2SK3TCHY]

hmm, i guess im getting lucky, im on about 1-2 minutes

A lot of the bad reviews are made by people who simply don't understand how they are being compensated for playing Smite 1. Granted, the system is convoluted, but it is very generous. Essentially, for every penny you spent on Smite 1 you get Legacy Gems which can be used for: A) 50% off on new skins B) Buying old skins they port over. *If the skin is actually ported from Smite 1. That, I can understand people getting upset over because they are not doing it for all skins (specially some older, kinda racist, skins) and they have been doing it at a slow pace. Outside of skins, people are upset at not getting the "Ultimate God pack", which is a bundle that unlocks ALL playable characters without grind. But that's just asinine, it's a completely new game they are making from the ground up, they need to charge for that again. On top of that $30 or $60, if you will, for all playable content in a game you can play for thousands of hours is still a good deal.

[@2SK3TCHY]

Yeah, it's definitely a lot to unpack, it doesn't make much sense why some people are mad but it's also a huge upgrade for the game, so there is certainly a strange divide

[@oddzzyy5649]

they're making a battle pass system in OB03 which will be 1300 diamonds, $10. With legacy gems half off its $5. I have 2.5k diamonds as a f2p player by just logging on and playing a few gods to like mastery 3-4 which is really fast. but they will still badly review the game

[@oddzzyy5649]

bad reviews are from smite players complaining about skins

[@sumirevtuberid]

aesthetically they go Marvel Rivals route, everything looks ugly for me tbh
