Top 5 Ways To Become A Better Mage (Mid Lane) In SMITE!

[@KiwiandhisKite]

Hey raynday! Could you make a video on how to be a decent human being?

[@HTram]

There are hints of how to be a better human being in many of his videos =)

[@nagato5206]

u have to understand the humans mentality

[@sircumference9691]

+BeastFlamer 😂

[@Aidanskaa]

YEET!

[@mrperson1324]

I was expecting this to be wrong. But every point made is valid. Wonderful to see people making videos that will help out newer and more veteran players.

[@RayndayGaming]

+mrperson132 glad you found value my dude, that's huge and I appreciate you letting me know! Always great to make videos that I enjoy but also help others in some way.

[@Zamibia]

Dude ur predictive aim is just off the charts with that isis lol

[@MrDarkknight914]

Björn Bergström or they're just walking into it.

[@isaiahl7727]

raynday, for the #3 mana, you can go into your settings and make it to where it shows the mana cost for a spell on the hot bar...

[@sonowbrand7824]

That's what I do, it's so helpful

[@carterdevine9542]

It automatically did that when I got the game

[@triv4555]

Raynday....that Zap Brannigan (and Kif) impression just earned you a sub. Awesome guides, btw :P

[@RayndayGaming]

+Pius X futurama is just too good, man :)

[@arktic_s]

Raynday I loved the video, I never thought about the mentality thing that's good. that Vegeta impression was dead on lol gotta give props😂👌

[@vondelacruz2500]

I just wanted to say Rayn, that it's so incredible of you to bring out these videos to teach everyone how to become a better smite player. In all honesty, your own mentality is just amazing and I love learning from people like you. All your videos really have helped me, and thousands of others I know it! So stay awesome with your content because you deserve more subs than this!

[@SirChocula]

LOLOL that Vegeta impression! xD

[@RayndayGaming]

:)

[@leos.2322]

hell yeah

[@Bornarth]

Love it

[@kugekianimations]

Raynday the God of speeches

[@shinobiforhonor9762]

Should be added in smite xD

[@ismaelhernandez5045]

+shayaa ali lol yeah

[@kugekianimations]

Raynday's passive-Devine Presence-Raynday speaks for every 6 seconds and allies around him will be motivated giving them an atk speed buff and damage buff for 10 seconds

[@spartan4196]

+SilencedVoid ability one. top 5 area of effect that ticks five times and stuns for 3 seconds

[@kugekianimations]

Ability 2 Dare me- A buff that boost his stats randomly from atk speed, Defence, Damage, movement speed and 10% cd

[@Horntail38]

Hey, thanks Raynday. I watched this video and kept in mind these tips for my next few games. I didn't die for 3 games straight, and got 6-8 kills per game. These tips are really good

[@poetic8908]

that mercury thing made me die of laughter

[@RayndayGaming]

MERCURY!

[@stevewussick1749]

New to the channel but I'm quickly becoming a big fan. Keep it up man

[@RayndayGaming]

Thank you my dude! Glad you are enjoying yourself!

[@thirtisankwich]

you're one of my favorite youtubers just because of your attitude at life

[@RayndayGaming]

:) Thank you my friend

[@77dinokid]

That Janus ult-to-lead-team-to-Titan just blew my mind.

[@TheAvianpow]

Fantastic video again man!! This has been by far my favorite series and it's clear how much love, attention and detail you put into these. Also got to say, some of those snipes were hot!. I've been working a bit on getting better at mages especially since I'm so used to playing hunters that it feels weird to have to wait for cooldowns to do anything :P. Being a bit more patient and just waiting for the right opportunity to us my abilities instead of using them early on really makes a difference. I know I'll never be amazing at a mage but every now and then when I do have to fill the role I want to make sure I can do the best I can.

[@gabrielramirez-ve3lk]

Years later and I still refer people to your smite videos. I made it to grandmaster conq, joust, and in duel because of you. Thanks bro

[@briansoule29]

Thank u for ur videos!! I started playing smite abt 2 months ago and struggled up to level 24 mainly only playing mages. A few days ago started watching videos on gameplay and with a random youtube search found u. I have only watch abt 5 in between gameplay, but now I'm a level 28 and I play without struggle now. I feel I'm still a beginner but I have went from 2/15/8 to 5/2/18(for example average) and I still lose more than I win, I def have more confidence now that I will get really good. Thank you!!!!

[@kevinshelton7040]

Very informative video..not sure why some people think the video wouldn't offer any good info for new players. Hell, I'm a seasoned player and still learned at least one thing from the video so it was definitely worth a watch! Thanks for the tips bruh keep doing what you do!!

[@legalizeketchup8697]

Awesome vid. Not only is it helpful, but your voice is also nice to listen to. (Also, that outro speech about magic was absolutely beautiful)

[@Imamakeusaydam]

i really appreciate you as a smite player and as a mentor for smite because i have gotten much better at smite from your videos. you actually explain so much more then pros do. it helps alot and thank you! keep up the great work.

[@Scopyz]

Just discovered you yesterday and I've just been going through all your uploads. Not necessarily for smite help, but more so for your positive attitude and outside the box outlook on things. Loving your channel bro. Glad I subbed.

[@CJAFTER5]

"hey, you have a booger on your nose" THATS MY STYLE BRO! >:0

[@yallgotohellis9297]

11:00 how did you kill the Titan after Phoenix had respawned

[@MrExcallibur]

if the titan is in aggro before the phoenix spawned he still can be damaged.

[@ralca4716]

Bc he's raynday gaming

[@pharoahspyramid6018]

Hey dude loved the video mage player here and also KZbinr those tips were good my position some times is my biggest weakness I have been a nox main a while and recent convert to the baron as well

[@afrikasmith1049]

Love your vid. Can't wait to see your Top 5 ways to become a better Warrior player. I know you will see more Hercules players more often after you made that vid, because i will be one of them.

[@RayndayGaming]

+Afrika Smith check it out, I already made that video! Go to my channel and you'll see the how to be a better player series and all of the videos there. I only don't have hunters done!

[@ornfreetaa2887]

cant tell you how many times ive used my scylla ult to avoid some hard cc and escape. thinking outside the box is crucial as a mage. nice vid rayn

[@maha3000]

I love the life lessons in these videos. real funny

[@Yawnz2]

Raynday...these videos are too good man >_> You should make videos on tactics too like Rotations, Counter-Builds, Counter-Picks and Team Composition. Seriously dude idk how you script these but they flow so well it's like you've been teaching for years...keep it up dude!

[@RayndayGaming]

Thank you my friend! To be honest they are all one take, so I record them line after line with no script, just flowing with what I feel I should say next. When it sounds good, and I think the point is covered, I move on to the next line/joke/whatever. Almost always how I've worked and it makes for a very creative, in the moment flow. Only thing I have scripted before hand are the bullet points of the lists. For instance, what the top 5 ways to be a better mage are lol. I don't make that up on the spot.

[@ThunderGunZ]

Great video! Positioning and understanding ability utility is important. As an Ah Puch main, it feels great to completely end an unfavorable teamfight by laying down my ultimate and watching everyone scatter. lol. Can't wait for your video on hunters, the class I'm the worst at.

[@Suzyj1103]

That red rising reference 🙌 great book series, cool video

[@hipere00]

Glad you made the video. All your 5 ways on mage are valid and on point. Great job.

[@Zapman]

Great guide. :)

[@janderksen5638]

hey raynday, im nervous about my finals results this week, but your vids make my days better, keep it up :D

[@iwantedmypizzaboneless7565]

Please post more. This is some of the greatest content on youtube.

[@Insertkoin]

Yo, I've wait for videos like this from you just to learn more, and perfect what I know and teach to others, and it's great how you learn the same things you know from the perspective and view of another person, keep it up Raynday, I'll be waiting for the last role which is the one role trying to main and get better, the hunter :D

[@RayndayGaming]

Awesome! Well sorry it had to be last, but I'm glad that it's finally your turn to see some hunter love!

[@benandrew21]

Hey Raynday, thanks so much for these videos, I'm new to smite and my Bellona and Amaterasu games improved leaps and bounds after you're warrior video. Looking forward to improving my mid-lane games now

[@quinramsey2390]

Oui! I ai manqué un autre de ceux-ci depuis si longtemps. Merci raynday

[@theeleothakilla3812]

Been waiting for this video for a long time. Thanks Raynday!

[@fallinghippos9758]

I was waiting for you to continue this, thanks.

[@RayndayGaming]

My pleasure!

[@goddesseccentric8245]

Yeah this was actually helpful. Most others just like to hear themselves talk but you brought up valid points and in hindsight of course I knew I should have been doing some of these that I wasn't. Thank you.

[@brokeassgaming1408]

imagine how much this guy can make by positive speeches .

[@RayndayGaming]

MILLIONS! MWUAHAHAA

[@bluntboi101]

+Raynday Gaming lol xD

[@ZekeAxel]

You make any day brighter with that voice and that attitude.

[@RayndayGaming]

:) Thank you buddy!

[@Datybro1]

Raynday just wanted to say thank you for all the information it has helped go from losing based on not knowing to learning from losses and winning.

[@RayndayGaming]

That's amazing to hear my friend. Very glad to have that be the case :)

[@bradleydunlop1615]

the quality of your videos is amazing, keep up the great work man

[@RayndayGaming]

Thank you my friend! I appreciate that!

[@0zvm1]

Loved the vid. Will help me with my Vulcan and Ah Puch play

[@randomz5641]

I've been asking for this video all the way back in the warrior video. Finally

[@salmojr]

thank you for this video. as someone who mains mid/mage gods it's a healthy reminder to remember the basics.

[@deftonesiren]

that random mercury at 9:32 xD great video btw it is very helpful.

[@RayndayGaming]

Thanks Jazzy :) Glad you like it!

[@marciotadeu8859]

Great video, i really love your tips, they are very helpful. In my opinion the rule number 3 could be changed to "count your mana and cooldowns". Not killing or not escaping because part of your kit is down when engaging/overstepping can prove to be as fatal as lack of mana. That doesn't mean your CDR must be as high as possible because that might actually kill your potential depending on how you build, but you must know when your skills are avaliable, and if you recklesly use part of your kit when it will be useable again. -EXAMPLE- try zoning enemies out of your tower with zk expose evil (1) right before a wave, and you wont be using it to heal and stack your passive when you really need to, even if the rest of your kit is up.

[@QuxYun1240]

There is an option in the settings that shows the mana cost of each ability in the corner of it's icon on your ability bar. It still means that you would be doing on-the-go math, but it greatly facilitates it. I personally play with this on all the time. I figure that the more information that I have, the better.

[@platinumseraph5228]

This is the one that I think helped the most. Thanks for the video!

[@suryanshdasgupta143]

Great vids as always. Love your work man you help so many people out there who are new to the community

[@Gios2806]

Rayngeta Gaming lvl over 9000! Best Vegeta Impression in a long time mate! :) thank you for that XD and of course thanks for this awesome video!

[@RayndayGaming]

Thank you my friend! So glad you enjoyed the impression haha! Been doing that one on the low for awhile!

[@muscularclassrepresentativ5663]

Thank you so much for this guide, I'm the rare player who got the support and solo roles down easily but struggles with anything glass cannon-ey, and I always dread going midlane, but hopefully this will help

[@PartyMarty321]

just throw yourself in, i played janus mid earlier and never played mid before in conquest. i did surprisingly well and ended up with the 2nd most kills on my team. just position yourself right and watch out for ganks. also don't over extend

[@juffy29]

I enjoyed this video a lot. It's fun and the tips on my favorite role in the game is helpful. Thanks for posting this.

[@Master1Morrison]

This was very important I always had this concept But never knew how to put it into words I learned a lot from this and will share it with my friends

[@exodus1823]

I really admire the positive outlook you have

[@Xcalito]

Really great video Raynday, Also made me want to use the Mage class a little more and try some new mages out!

[@RayndayGaming]

Thanks excaliburninja! Glad you found the joy in it :)

[@gorynmartini5746]

Well, there you go again Ranyday, making a top video, bringing all the good and helpful informations to improve our mage play, making me laugh here and there and of course not to mention the goosebumps at the end as well.. I know why I always keep watching you with such a hype and leaving you like always the like you deserve man - keep up the goood work and have a wonderful day sir.

[@RayndayGaming]

You rock man. You really do. Thanks for this, I'll take this compliment with me today!

[@Bbomby]

Very informative, Wish i had this when i first started playing. I love the Video man. Keep up the amazing content. Your videos always make me smile and make me want to be a better smite player. This made my day along with playing a Casual and seeing Zapman in my game. I wish you the best of luck with all your goals and dreams. :D

[@MultiSapMan]

Dat power level over 9000 speech was the greatest thing I have ever heard.

[@SilentGlaceon94]

Dude, that DBZ reference!!! Great guide as always man!

[@mrxeku12]

wow, i really enjoy your vids, not just the content, but the message you left on top of it, how you are always that positive , one of my favorite youtubers and content-creator, no doubt

[@RayndayGaming]

Big thanks my man, seriously! Love that you love what I do. Makes it that much more special!

[@mrxeku12]

Dang sure i love what you do! Big thanks to you for making that much of awesome content for us

[@Havocchaos16]

Great video! I will be working really hard on my positioning now because of this video.

[@thepugoffbusiness]

Thanks raynday for helping me to get better at mage class dude. keep up the good work!

[@-e.f.1426]

hey man thanks for that number five tip, I have that problem when I use my Osiris. I almost always have my ult available but never use it to escape

[@raemiranda6253]

Yes! I feel the same way as you do! You're amazing. Thank you for doing this!

[@cubemage3336]

your magic exceeds that of Harry Potter's Raynday. You are the Origin of magic. Hirez got the whole "mage" thing from looking at you. keep up the good work

[@czernoboltthehunter2739]

Smite newbie here and very grateful for your videos Raynday, really helpful

[@stevenwaynelee2791]

Another great vid! I primarily play as a mage, so this will be most helpful!

[@MarxP44]

you're a really awesome positive guy bro, we need more people like you in the world!

[@RayndayGaming]

Thank you bro!!

[@something1558]

So should you like keep an eye on your mage majority of the time like if you saw a Loki nearby like the enemy team started gold fury and you see Loki on the right near mid harpies, like if you were someone like Bellona would you defend the mage or defend the gf or does it depend on the team comp.

[@PartyMarty321]

if you can prevent a death do it, i play mages all the time and when i see a teammate at low health ill stand in front of the enemy attacking them to absorb the blows as my teammate gets away. only if you yourself are able to make it out too. also let them know by using the emotes or pings

[@Xaaaach]

Thanks for the advice; I'll remember to bring my gun next time I hold up a store.

[@owenbienz6397]

Love the intro into 5 and the outro from 4.

[@minjuun2476]

damn those isis spirit ballz tho. really great tips/advice though. thanks!

[@RayndayGaming]

Thanks my friend :)

[@Pokerafal]

hi, i like to play as ao kuang. it says he is a mage but for me he is more like magical assasin. so should i think as a mage or assasin when i play ao kuang?

[@RayndayGaming]

Assassin I would say

[@jarrettwilliams9306]

Thanks for this!! Will be sharing with my friends who want to learn to mage. Being a mage main myself it was a great refresher video!! I will be working on counting my mana for sure now!! Thanks man!

[@PartyMarty321]

counting mana is a thing i need to work on too, i've had deaths happen because i didn't have enough mana to getaway. now ill keep that in mind

[@apimpnanedslickback8639]

holy shit that was a great vegeta impression😂👍👍

[@ConspiracyBrainz]

Thank you for the video, keep up the good work!

[@Angel-yx7et]

I already knew most of this stuff because I've played a Mage for a while, either way though your video is still so awesomely great

[@PartyMarty321]

only thing i play because I'm bad at using melee characters :'( but i have tried guardians which are really fun

[@giuli678]

Always making me happy, thanks evan :)

[@Adamas_83]

Really good man. Love your content.

[@pedromoraes5594]

damm you're amazing, not only in smite, i mean your motivational speeches always help me. subbed

[@RayndayGaming]

+Classy Duck appreciate that my friend. Stay a classy duck and I hope to see you around again!

[@numnoms6333]

I died at that mercury thing, great video!

[@sofiabruiz1939]

The Red Rising quote was the best thing :)

[@billybunce7931]

Used to rage so much because I was constantly dying that i actually broke my laptop now I no longer rage thanks to this video and your tips.

[@realhemi]

2:20 "Periods when you're on and periods when you're off" so true

[@dragontyron]

*Positioning!* I die a little (particularly when playing support) when I watch my mage teammate try to run up as frontline damage. I'm typically alright with staying in the back lines, but I'm still only meh as most mages 'cause I can't hit any abilities. I'm notoriously bad at landing the Scylla ult.

[@RayndayGaming]

TIP: Pick scylla when you have a teammate who has very easy set up for her ult, (ex. kumba's mesmerize or knock up)

[@dragontyron]

Will do!

[@kubilaykaand]

In 10:58, the middle phoenix respawns, but you had still been able to took down the titan, how can it be possibe?

[@kurztude4315]

its not league ^^

[@Pavorish]

Yay! Conquest! :D

[@RayndayGaming]

+Pavorish just for you BB.

[@Pavorish]

[@redditreflections1976]

I'm gonna have to say these feel incredibly forced to be as long as they are. You reiderate the same point so much it makes it nigh impossible to stay focussed. I'm training some newbies to smite, some played past moba's some have not and was looking for any form of tutorial videos that might explain things so i don't have too. But these are not concise and clear by a long shot, and are at the point of rambling. You have a "list" format which is the only semblance of structure the video has. Once you delve into a point you just ramble too much. the kakarot line was a bit left field.

[@Pavorish]

Ferriano Rayn just gives tips. He doesnt tell you how to play like a pro player would. This is more of a entry-level guide of playing mage than a tutuorial lining up the specifics. Smite is a hard game to teach. A lot of things you just pick up by habbit, and you can't teach habbits.

[@redditreflections1976]

Pavorish I get that but this is a 12 minute video that could easily be said in 4-7 minutes with no actual information lost what so ever. I'm just trying to give him constructive criticism so that he knows why I'm unable to use his videos as a entry level guide for new players. it's too rambling.

[@beme7442]

Good to hear there are some other mages out there

[@aedanbell8269]

your videos are really entertaining keep up the great work

[@ssj5kalel]

so where can i find out if my mage is early game or late game?

[@ethanwhetten8842]

was the go time joke neccesary?

[@darkclawmurai54]

Background music @Raynday?

[@MrTexaspreacher]

Another great video Raynday. I love these how to vids and they're helping me to become a better Smite player-so keep it up. Btw, have any open spots in your clan?

[@lallebrandt]

Really good video. learn alot from it. it gave me some nice tips to how i should play my mage. thanks you Ray ;)

[@dark12ain]

New guy here some how I gravitated to kukuklan mostly and now I see I like mages and I'm very new and keep getting owned, but I'm getting better thanks for the vid

[@thexpertgamer101]

whats the music you use for this video? i love listening to this while listening to you talk.

[@KookaburraSniper]

Great guide! You're a great Mage! :D

[@uginvissar2361]

subbed. I'm a mage addict lol for the mana issue i insist Book of Thoth always. if its ur first maxed item. by level 7 it'll have 75 stacks. so from there on out it gives magic power increase and almost unlimited mana. my KuKulkhan build is a glass cannon with level20 magical power at 934/900. I broke the game XD
