Talking (once again) About The State Of SMITE 2...

[@akillays]

I have been playing since pre alpha 1 and its been fun and fine but in the last month my interest has skyrocketed, literally can’t wait to play every day and having a blast. Feels like the old days of smite again

[@HardStuckinGold]

Literally have been feeling the exact way, I remember playing the 2nd alpha weekend and hopped back on smite 1 literally after my 2nd smite 2 game.. and I am here to admit that I was one of the people that thought the game was done for. But I am soooo glad I am wrong. now holy crap I can’t stop playing smite 2

[@Inters3ct]

My exact thoughts. I've had fun with it the whole time but in the early days it was only really fun cause it was new, in the last couple months it's become fun just because it's fun!

[@FlipBoji]

Since the patch with Sobek and Ra my experience and interest with the game has gone up. The game is very exciting to root for and see how it does come the official release. I'm mainly a joust/assault player, but I've put my focus on enjoying the gameplay as much as possible whilst trying to grind my few gods I really like to level 10. Not worried for the future state of smite 2 at all, except for the console players who haven't upgraded yet. I was in their same position whether it was for financial reasons or the need/want to upgrade to the ps5. I found myself fortunate enough to eventually get a ps5 this year. I will admit I was not hopeful and some might even say "toxic" in other videos about the smite 2 before, but I've completely 180. My cons with the game are because of my nostalgia for smite 1. I don't like the 1 relic slot, which is substituted by having 'active' items. I don't like active items because there literally isn't enough buttons for efficient active items in settings lol. I'm practically playing out a mortal kombat combo if I'm using 3 actives, a relic, and my abilities if I dump them all in a fight. A funny con I have is there isn't enough time to enjoy looking at players card art before the game starts (ridiculous i know, but true lol). The worshiper grind after level V is not ideal. I have a mouse icon dead center of my screen every time I load up smite 2, which i know is being addressed, but feels so wrong to see. And that about sums up my cons. Everything else is good imo. Beyond excited for joust mainly and future gods. My psn is Samuraiswishers if you want to add me for whatever reason, to play, to shit talk, or to check my stats. Lastly, the Titan Talks might be my guilty pleasure. The lay offs were extremely saddening to hear about because those were actual people with real lives and families, so as unfortunate as it was I still hope the best for everyone involved.

[@SirCairbre2020]

I like the feel of smite 2 I’m just bored with the only two modes being arena and conquest. The core game play is good but it’s just hard to adjust to the new systems when you run into the same thing every game. Arena is anti snowball and conquest is too snowball for playing with my friends who never liked conquest anyway

[@Inters3ct]

Yeah more modes is a common complaint I've seen, personally waiting big time for Assault!

[@SirCairbre2020]

@ I personally think assault would have been a better alternative mode than arena. It would force players to experiment and try new god to learn their kits and changes as well as how they feel against many different matchups. The random god choice too would be much better to keep games fresher.

[@toonamelts]

⁠​⁠@@SirCairbre2020 I’m sure you are already aware of this but Hi Rez HAD to get arena and conquest out first because those are 2 of if not the 2 most popular games modes! Idk if enough people are assault mains as opposed to arena mains to have justified assault first with the lack of player base that mode would bring in on its own

[@SirCairbre2020]

@ I actually wasn’t aware that arena was that popular. That makes sense and thinking about the god pool it might be too small for arena.

Do you think maybe one or 2 Smite 2 free alpha weekends would help them show where the game got? Since I think even people who bought the founders pack and tried the game before would probably try it, expecting an influx of new people (whether because of them hoping to pub stomp or better match making).

[@siinrajiaal]

Hmm i like this idea

[@Inters3ct]

Not a bad idea, maybe they'll do one or two closer to F2P launch to build hype, but they also might want to just hold off on getting any new players in until their big January patch to show the best the game has to offer to a wider audience, we'll see!

[@8BYTENYTE]

I believe the game is in a wonderful state and im happy to see them grind out the shit show that became their situation. My only criticism is that we don't have a build system yet. Seeing them put the store back to the original state for consoles has saved me alot but giving me the ability to make a custom build that i can set to the store like smite 1 saves me the panic of trying to remember items. Especially when items come and go and become disabled so frequently. Even more so for people like me who are returning to smite from who knows when. Item builder much needed

[@xShadowRaptor]

I agree 1000% the item builder is extremely useful for all players especially new players and console players. It’s strange that they don’t include it into the game by now with the introduction of so many changes with builds, mechanics and store changes compared to Smite 1. It’s helpful regardless if you’re brand new or play everyday and it needs to be in the game now.

[@mrdhong2143]

I hate that they added the old console store back in. I was already use to the new one now it sucks the console store doesn't have a tab for active items so it takes me longer to find what I need

[@lmario125]

I had to drop it since it stutters a lot on my and my friends' pc's, I hope they stabilize the game a bit more. Our rigs aren't the top monster PCs but they were peak at their time.

[@francesco9281]

I bought the game right away but I really struggled to get into It in pre-apha. Yesterday I tried it again and it improved A LOT it finally feels exactly like smite 1 but with improved graphics and engine. I hope people will come back

[@itsnotborker456]

Smite 2 is good but I still need my gods in the game. 6/10 of my top 10 are in or coming soon, but I still need awilix, artemis, chary, and a few more to play 24/7

[@Badjorraz]

i think a lot of people are not going to change to smite 2 because of performance. smite 2 runs really bad and it feels not optimized, is better then it was in the weekends, but it still feels horrible on lower end pc, and a lot of people are not going to buy a new pc to play smite since most people i know play really casually and have no problem switching to another game, which is a shame, but maybe they can optimize it more.

[@theasbridge9661]

Until they add the same Colorblind Features that are in Smite 1, I’m not touching Smite 2 again. I love everything they are doing and I’m super stoked to play it. But having the health bars be green for teammates and red for enemies makes the game nearly impossible for me to play. Without this colorblind setting, I end up attacking my own minions or my own teammates because I can’t tell the colors apart😭

I started playing smite 2 a week ago , i been playing smite 1 since beta so iam pretty experienced. The matchamaking for me has been really good actually and games have been really intense and long i would say every 5 games i meet only 1 new player that has no idea what their doing so i think its a regional issue since i play on eu servers. Iam assuming maybe the na servers have more new players or smth idk but honeslty been having great games regarding match making

Hot take AA builds are dominating metta. which sucks cause theres like 2 AA builds. it could be just me or balancing. but most of the ability gods just dont do nearly enough damage. compared to just going AA. and doesnt help most gods released getting some form of AA in thier kit to force metta that way

[@prepdeezguns2439]

I just want an item builder so it stops auto building active items.

[@xShadowRaptor]

The auto builds are improved from Smite 1 but don’t hold up at all against the best items in the game as the meta changes in Smite all the time. We shouldn’t have to dedicate our lives to find a competitive build by watching videos or building in practice mode in order to play with what is the best items and gods in the game at the time.

[@ryanhart722]

My friends and I have played for years on the casual side, arena on smite 2 on console just isn't doing anything for us. There's no reason to play this over smite when smite 1 feels so polished and this still feels so rough. Main points for concern are that it doesn't feel like moves hit with as much impact and the UI is so jarring and unfinished compared to smite 1. Appreciate that this is an alpha though and things will only keep getting better!

[@xShadowRaptor]

I just don’t understand how they can completely switch out the build mechanic but not include an item builder by now. When they completely change how to build, introduce new items with brand new effects and add active items they need to have a way for players (especially on console and new players) to learn what each item does without having to spend so much time in practice testing builds, watching pro players or watching every patch notes and update shows just to find out what the meta is. People will say that you can just auto build but the meta builds are still significantly better especially in MOBAs where the macro play is extremely important. It’s just as bad if you didn’t know how to start or rotate correctly the little things add up in MOBAs and will cause you to lose the game. As a casual player I don’t want to spend my time watching multiple videos or trying builds in practice just to play with the meta build. Item builder allowed me to set a select build that worked with the certain gods kit and was competitively meta. I’m not going to memorize every item in the game. Item builder allowed me to set a build and I wouldn’t have to worry about what items worked with what god and if the meta did change I could always just swap out items that worked better in a build and then I wouldn’t have to change it again until the meta shifted again.

[@thedoomslayer5863]

Funny spot u r in huh. Casual enough to not know the items and make builds on the spot but try hard enough to want to know the meta build to have maximum win / loss lol

[@xShadowRaptor]

@@thedoomslayer5863 I mean I’ve played since season 4 Smite 1 when I was younger and was able to dedicate more time to a video game but I’m older now and actually have responsibilities and life other than playing a game. I only play casual rather than grind up the ranked leaderboard but I still would like to play to win. I mean Smite is a competitive MOBA even if you can only play for a hour or so a day. I haven’t had the time since Smite 2 has been released to go into practice and learn all the new items and still don’t know all of the new mechanics as well. Item builder is a useful tool that can help me play casually while also being able to have a competitive build without having to dedicate so much time into being on top of what the meta is. I don’t think it’s that big of an ask and it can also help the game grow as the item builder is also a useful tool for new players and console players as well. Smite has never been a game that is friendly to players that don’t stay informed about all the updates and patches as the best meta gods and items change from month to month at best sometimes even weekly depending on how fast the updates and patches come out. I don’t see why I can’t play the game in a casual way but still play with the best gods and items. It’s frustrating that Smite has been in a place where it tries to cater to either pro players and ranked sweats or super causal idiots that go full dmg Nu Wa when they get queued as the support there has to be a better place for middle ground players somewhere…

I honestly feel like a lot of the reason why people replayed smite 1 was because of skins. Makes you feel more obligated to play since you pretty invested money into it.

Do I actually need to explain why shelving your only successful product to *barely* improve it and splitting your playerbase down the middle is a huge, unnecessary risk that has such a low chance of actually paying off Smite 2 will tank the whole company I'm calling it now If this company were run by people who actually had a damn clue how to do their jobs it would have been Paladins getting a rebuild because thay game is an actual masterpiece held back by its old engine and horrible legacy code and would have benefitted massively from a rebuild (and a version of the game with fewer modern champ designs) but lets kill our only good game in order to chuck another of paint over the top, that'll fix it surely The second I saw Ares kept his old 2 I knew we were in for the laziest rebuild imaginable.

I played for the first time since alpha 1 last night. I hate to give vague and unhelpful feedback but it still feels worse than smite 1. My frames will fall pretty consistently despite the ingame counter falsely reporting 90+ fps, and sometimes I have to click abilities several times for them to go off. Also I try to use the pre made builds but they always include one or two actives and I can’t be bothered to use them. If I wanted to click 10 buttons I’d play a MMO but I don’t want to have to sweat like crazy and hit 7 buttons the second I start a fight. Also obviously lack of so many fun gods. I think I’ll have to wait a year or Two until there’s actually more content and fun builds to try in smite 2 than smite 1.

[@MoistCherrybush]

I totally agree with everything you mentioned. I'm so pissed and disappointed. I haven't purchased a game that I stopped playing since the first couple of days after purchasing it. I shouldn't have purchased it before it came out. They should have released this game later when they have everything more stable and at least 100 gods ready.

[@zaynec117]

Smite 2 just does not seem fun, playing it or watching it. Kinda boring, poor matchmaking creates games that aren't competitive or entertaining. I don't like the items, and having characters being able to hybrid build INT and STR damage kinda takes away from their original identity while some characters simply don't use the other damage type at all. Also goes without saying the game feels buggy and looks like a mobile game. Even though I keep up to date with all it's patches, I do not intend on playing it again any time soon.

[@bean-charlieartz3138]

Yea I’ve been waiting for free to play I logged in smite 1 to get battle passes but now in the newest S1 update the battle pass is recycling so I’ll just wait for January. People will upgrade to the new consoles because of GTA 6 that game might inadvertently save the gaming industry and help smite 2 because it’ll be a new free to play offering in 2025.

I played for the first time yesterday after a 3 month break, Smite 2 is in a significantly better state than 3 months ago. However, I doubt I will be coming back again in the next few months. In my opinion from an average to below average smite 1 player, there are 3 big issues plaguing the game at the moment. 1. The variety is still lacking, meta gods are in every game still. I didn't have one game yesterday without Herc or Zeus. 2. The amount of defense vs. damage & CC is unbearable. As a shit tier solo laner, I do not feel tanky at all, I just get CC chained and insta die, it's not fun at all. I am full defense and getting blown up. They need to tune up defense and/or nerf damage down. 3. The matchmaking is horrendous still, and the snowball is too high. My matches we either had a slight snowball which made the enemy team surrender at 12 minutes in, or we got faces kicked in and didn't even get one t2 when our titan died. The game isn't as fun when you can't be competitive, its more fun too lose close then get your teeth kicked in. honorable mention with #3: Game is wayyyy to sweaty. I played an arena to mess around in. Holy shit the sweat in that game mode reminds me of a ranked conquest in smite 1. Overall C+ passable, needs work still.

[@Boom3120]

We are way tankier than Smite1 tho

[@dreadking6142]

ill thinka bout playing again when they add other modes, in my 500+ hours of smite over the years maybe 20 are conq. i just dont like conq

[@Royalj4EveR]

New games are starting to come out so that's way I took a break

[@samellison1381]

I haven't been playing smite 2 because if you buy a founders pack on console, it doesn't give you access to it on PC and I'm not buying another one.

[@javierangel2463]

I get mu key from the twitch drops, and i really like the game and have a lot of fun also it was a cool suprise that the game run nice in my computer cause i dont have a gpu xd.

[@StevenHardyTV]

is Smite 2 worth the cost to update to a ps5 for the people who don't own a ps5 i don't believe it is lol Big cost for a game that they already have on ps4. The game is the same game. Why upgrade when you already have the game in Smite 1. All they did was change something with the gods and removed all your smite 1 content you paid for lol If players put money into adying company they are in a sad state lol love your videos keep up the good work. Just my thoughts.

[@Boom3120]

not the same

[@StevenHardyTV]

@Boom3120 feeling like the same game to me.

[@attrakteve]

Smite 2 keys are being rewarded for watching 1h worth of Smite 2 Streams on twitch rn! If youre lucky there are still keys left afaik its first come first serve.

[@czar17_28]

I’ll say it again in case they are looking… Things may be rough at Hi-Rez right now, but make the game free if possible. Only 3 of the 10 Smite gamers in my friend group bought Smite 2, and none of them play right now because they don’t like playing alone. The current gaming landscape offers too many alternatives in Deadlock, League, COD, Sparking Zero etc but Smite 2 requires $30 to play. A free game means more people try guilt free, people can convince their friends easier, new MOBA players feel less pressured to try, more people buy the God Pack and Cosmetics.

[@czar17_28]

Holy… you can get Smite Keys for free. That changes a lot.

[@TheKirbylore]

I’m just scared Smite 2 is going to pull an Overwatch 2, I didn’t like how little charm it felt like the game had compared to smite 1

[@francisconeto1780]

I wish I could play, but the game runs super bad on my pc

[@postmelons2282]

Ever since ra and sobek got added, I’ve been having a lot of fun but man I can’t keep doing arena matches. If they added clash id never stop playing lmao

[@Salpetersaure]

I’ve been enjoying Smite 2 mainly because I don’t play against 50 star aphros every casual like in smite 1…

[@lproof8472]

I bailed early due to the item shop. It was too unintuitive for me (PS5 player.) Maybe I’ll give it a try this weekend. Smite 1 has a frustrating amount of d/c

[@Inters3ct]

They just released a completely new shop that's nearly identical in design and navigation to SMITE 1's console store, definitely worth trying it again to see how it feels!

[@lproof8472]

@ That’s good news! I’ll definitely give it a go

[@Zeldoriis]

i will not forgive hirez for letting divine knockout die an actual unique fun game

[@BrotherShaw]

I'm just not in a rush to play because there's so many gods that have yet to be put in, and as a solo laner, every time a new mage is brought in, I'm laning against a mage who never gets camped by my jungler like they should be. It's just annoying. I wanna scrap with warriors 😂

[@thedoomslayer5863]

Sobek is big in solo rn. And jungle isn't going to camp one lane all game. That's not what they're there for.

[@nathaniellockhart120]

I played a lot of smite one up to season 8 then quit (family life) I want to play this but I get curb stomped every game. My favorites isn’t on game which might be part of the reason.

[@Boom3120]

Practice on bots and mute voice chat to play in peace

[@kyokenx2]

I would play smite 2 if i had a better pc and if I had money for the pack Id literally be playing it rn lol my pc is literally the pc you get at Walmart lol the cheap one lol

[@fronk_alt]

SMITE 2 feels SUPER now

[@owenking1499]

Maybe it's just me but the game still looks kinda crunchy on console and controls feel kinda off.

[@MoistCherrybush]

I purchased the game before it came out and i am very disappointed. Gods that i love in smite 1 are still not in smite 2. My favourite gods are hou yi, Artemis, cupid, nox, Aphrodite, hel, serqet, arachne, nemesis, set, yemoja and jing wei. Only jing and yem are in it. So i haven't been playing it for the past few months. They kept adding the most boring to play gods into smite 2 first. Im still playing smite 1 because i play the game for the gods i love not for better graphics etc.

[@JACKWEASEL]

I swap between smite 2 , Warhammer, and Baldur gate

[@luvkai5599]

Smites dead bro

[@InfernalLeo777]

^

[@Boom3120]

is fine

[@Krickozo]

The game rn is good if you are a conquest player

[@stilloading5652]

I’m still only playing smite 1 till kuzenbo is in

[@ChrisTDickson]

Solid video

[@TheWoolyninja4]

Yeah i still lean towards smite 1 because the variety not just in gods though, I find the items in smite 2 underwhelming.

[@mrdhong2143]

The items in smite 2 are way better at least it doesn't devolve into just picking the items with the highest stats the passive and active effects are way better in smite 2

[@sanahri]

jing wei was a good launch god :(

[@anunnakis2299]

We need more gods, my main arthemis arachne bye bye

[@eightlights4939]

Whats funny is people are going to kill both smite 2 and smite 1 for themselves with their spam of negatively all because theyre mad about literal pocket change.

[@Boom3120]

personaly I play way more smite2 than smite1, I barely play the 1 anymore, havin most of my mains help I guess but the ame feel so much etter

[@ammar-titi1588]

Please add 3 vs 3 mode When ??
