[@trystanwise4943]

How do you expect to beat Ymir being in ice stance the whole game?

[@Ranian]

Idk, all i noticed was he never went arcane.

[@blackisbeautiful9110]

Ice has best cooldown and solid damage. Fire cooldown to long and arcane is situational

[@revanpuddin]

@@blackisbeautiful9110 Ymir is tanky. You can only kill him in Fire Stance. You should start with Ice, but if you don't switch to Fire, you'll always lose.

But how do you switch between the classis so its not random witch stance you get ( im on pc btw) because i see every body switch between just 2 stances

You have no honor. This is about honor, everyone knows when a person initiates against another in combat all others stand back and wait for a clear winner to emerge, as said in the unwritten law of smite. A gank is made up terminology for people that cant 1v1 like a true badass.

Liked and subscribed. I cried from the intense bliss i felt from seeing Merlin getting shred to pieces by YMIR of all people and bitching like a baby over it.

[@albionxeno]

The fact that I am just seeing this video, although late it’s funny to see a merlin get destroyed by ymir regardless, 1. Did he not see how many stars your ymir has. 2. A damage ymir is hard to play against in any gamemode because he has such a high health threshold. Loved this video and can’t wait for more

Question. Is it still worth to have gem of iso in your build if the enemy picks up a winged blade, or should you sell it for another item that may be more useful at that point?

[@Ranian]

It is worth as long as youre playing a god that can apply it easily. Like pos, vulcan, zhong, merlin.

Hey im not a smite player just played beta and grind level 30 but im asking, are these two players supposed to be good cause they both seems really trash ? Maybe its just for the joke but really bad knowledge of his damage, range. Quite bad movement and rotations. Really tell me if they are supposed to be good and im just missing something or its just guys playing for fun

Ima assume you are also talking about me because theres only 2 players including me. I dont know what this merlins rank is but im currently masters and was number 1 NA for a long time.

@@Ranian K that's my question, Dont wanna be insulting in any mean cause as i said i dont really play this game but seeing overkill and missed skillshot are disapoiting for this level of gameplay but I can understand you cant be perfect at every move.

I don't know wether or not I should get back into Smite. I'm on a break from the game and it started about a month before Arthur came into the game. I've always liked the game but it's the salty people that made me take a break. Is the community still generally toxic and salty? Because it certainly was when I left. Or at least that's what it felt like.
