It always made me laugh that boosh was simultaneously this good and also the origin of "boosh beads." It just goes to show how everyone in Smite can be spectacular and terrible at all times

[@brontesenth]

I mean, look at the decision making to walk in 1v4 after his team was wiped. Also, the number of auto attacks he keeps throwing out that slow him down and make him an easier target. Back in Season 1 nobody knew how to play the game at least compared to how the pros play now.

Seeing how fast boosh moved at 4:38 makes me appreciate slows more in current smite. That’s insane.

[@man.newton]

Thanks Betty! Worth pointing out that TheBoosh went 14-0-11 with 4 minutes of unpaused DC versus three of the most legendary Smite pros on the scene, and one of them is considered to be the best to ever touch the game. This wasn't just some season 1 team of randos, this was Aror, Hurriwind, and CycloneSpin. And Boosh 1v4ed.

Personnally I think Ra relies too much on his team fpr set up to be effective. Don't get me wrong I really like him but you can't really carry with him if your team sucks because he doesn't have any real cc which means he can't consistantly do damage.

Can you please make a video of Boosh Beads? I’ve seen this been said SOOOO MANYYY times and there’s ZERO videos on it.

[@wthisdaftpunk6847]

I can give a quick explanation! Boosh beads is when you use your beads after already being knocked up. For example using your beads in midair after being Sobek plucked.

[@Crazy-pl1lo]

[@AndrewH1994]

i mean s1 play looks pretty unrefined compared to later seasons, which is understandable, but dam it looks similar to how my ranked games look now. either 1 by 1 trying to take a shot at the big fed raid boss, or being unable to kill the raid boss 1v4 after feeding him that much

I'm gonna hate myself for saying this, but I actually miss DmBrandon's casting. I hate that guy with a passion as much as anyone, but I can't deny that he had a great caster voice and he really analyzed the gameplay (which is something that is done far less today). I'll accept any hate coming my way. I understand. Good day.

Probably the cooldowns too. Look at his build, and then look at how often his 1 comes up. It's like, every 5 seconds..

[@kingcrimson1222]

His 3 used to give a lot of power and protections

About a month after this game they nerfed his passive (8% to 6%) and his 3 (ticks every 0.5s instead of 0.3s and dropped scaling 10%)

[@archiesmith9035]

Maybe I just don't know enough about Season 1 Smite, or maybe you needed to see the game live, but is anyone feeling kind of underwhelmed by this one? Obviously the score line is crazy, but this looks less like "TheBoosh is completely insane at Smite," and more "Welcome to Season 1, Ra can tank late game Agni bombs, his move speed is infinite, and even the best players in the world only have like a year of practice and experience."

[@Chewbrocalli]

But if he was that busted then why didn't everyone play him every game and get scores like that? Everyone has a chance to play the god so surely one player being so much better than the rest is impressive

[@mafexitium8847]

Boosh also built warlock sash and void stone. Him tanking agni bombs had to do with levels and builds, not ra specifically.
