If you know you're better than the lobbies that you get placed in, when you're in ranked, I suggest picking a comfort god to where you're confident you can carry with. There's also a lot of smurfs running around, so it's best to watch out for those too.

I love duo lane ranked because it is the least filled with smurfs/trolls. Solo is a cesspool and comes down to who freezes who first or gets the first kill on the other solo.

[@substitoad7069]

You don't need to live by the meta. In low mmr you can carry with pretty much any god. You should be banning out gods that are strong in YOUR MMR, because for how good Morrigan and Persephone are, most people ESPECIALLY LOW MMR PLAYERS can't play them so it's freelo if they're locked in by anyone that isn't a one-trick. Smurfing is not as common in smite as in stuff like League so do not worry too much. Pick your comfort picks and you should be able to at least get to platinum. Getting a defined role and ironing out your mechanics is also helpful since macro play and massive team coordination is rare in low mmr brackets. If you play support, climbing is extremely easy, if you know how to take advantage of the lead you get in lane and rotate properly. For ADC players, god suggestions are Jing Wei, Cernnunos, Hou Yi, Hachiman, and Cupid. These gods are simple, easy to pick up and learn, safe, and all have strong team fight potential, jing wei to a lesser extent. They are all 1v9 gods if you can get rolling and don't require the most pristine mechanics to be able to carry. For Support players, god suggestions are Sobek, Fafnir, Ne Zha, Hercules, and Kumbhakarna. These gods all have massive carry potential even if they fall slightly in lane. All have great crowd control and in Fafnir's case he is probably the best 1v9 support if he gets fed. Similar cases apply to the other gods here. They all have amazing ways to peel and protect your carries, kill setup, fight initiation, survivability, and damage output. For Mid players, god suggestions are Merlin, Ra, Hades, Raijin, and Ullr. Not much to say about these gods other than they do require a bit more attention to detail to get the most out of there kits. Ra has amazing teamfight damage and support. Ra snipes also provide you with a good way to secure kills in lane and in team fights, do not be afraid to use it as its cooldown is very short. He has the best out of combat healing in the game and his 3 helps your team by giving power and protections, also helps you shove wave as it makes minions tanky. Merlin is your staple 1v9 mid hyper carry, needs mechanical skill to play but his kit is not the hardest to memorize. Raijin and hades are extremely easy and simple to play, both low mmr stompers. Ullr is the flex pick from adc to mid, hes fantastic in both For Solo, god picks are Nike, Achilles, Amaterasu, Jormungandr, and Loki. Self explanatory except for loki. Loki is a low elo KING, low mmr players do not know how to play around his split pushing, and when he gets wins lane and eventually ganks he gets frags simple as that. Jormungandr is unkillable unless hes without his ult, you should not die if you have good positioning and ult, obviously you wont have deathless games every time but jorm is super easy to get into the solo lane. For junglers, god picks are Nike, ratatoskr, Ravana, Bakasura, and Mercury. Nike is insane in the jungle atm, extremely safe, high dmg, high sustain, and very hard to kill. Rat and Ravana are great early game junglers that can get you early wins by snowballing out of control by the mid game. Bakasura and Mercury are probably the best low mmr junglers in smite because of how team independent they are. Super fast clears, amazing ultimates, great ganking, great 1v1s, good in team fights. These junglers have it all. thats my TEDXTALK

[@jaimes398]

I read it all and I agree and disagree in a few points, bakasura indeed is a meta low mmr but hes a common ban so If i was new in ranked I would make sure to know atleast an other character. I disagree with ratatoskar, I think thanatos is a greater choice just because of hes executable ult and its cc. Mercury is a great choice but in a 1v1 jungler vs jungler almost every other jungler can destroy mercury. Right now tsukuyomi is probably meta along with bakasura and arachne (but they are all common low mmr bans)

[@ColeCxle]

Here is a legitimate tip for every game of Smite. I bring it up because of an unnecessarily lengthy ranked conquest I played last night. BUY ANTI HEAL. At least one anti heal iten should get picked up buy the majority of the team EVERY game. There is this misconception that only a handful of gods like aphro, change, terra, etc are deserving of an anti heal pick up, but this is just not the case. anti heal works against life steal and so many abilities throughout the game. 90% of the time there is enough sustain on the enemy team to change the game. For instance, my friend and I last night were the only two on the team with anti heal so the enemy Cama healed through would be deaths that I counted 5 or 6 times AND their Neith had Asi and bloodforge built... Guys anti heal items stack so the more the better. With enough items you can reduce healing on a player to ZERO. that could be over 1,000 health in a fight. It is important. My favorite Anti Heal items are as follows. Brawler's Beatstick, Divine Ruin, Pestilence, Contagion, and Toxic Blade. Buy one every game unless you have a very good reason not to.

[@boogeywoogey7697]

My boy i feel your pain. Between anti and wards idk what has been happening lately.

[@QuantumChaotic]

I agree with this, but not all anti heal items stack. IE. Contagion and Pestilence. Another great counter is to have your solo laner go relic dagger and upgraded ankh. Good bye lifesteal and/or healing. Osiris is such a great god into a sustain meta with his ultimate.

[@XtremeWipeout]

i played my first few games of ranked last night, its a massive difference to what casual is like, i do quite well in casual games, very often im in a positive KDA and feel like i done very well, in ranked, i got destroyed and i honestly dont know what i could have done better. i lost 5 games in a row LUL is there any way you can elaborate more on the difference between ranked and casual? maybe do a "what not to do in ranked" or "biggest mistakes people do in ranked". I dont know, but i dont think theres enough vids out there saying how much of a difference it is, when i said i got destroyed, i mean i honestly thought i just shouldnt have this game on my pc anymore haha great vid as always

[@devinparis2063]

having a positive kda isnt really a huge factor in how well you do. There's a ton more factors in play. Did you farm well? how was your damage? wards? did you rotate when needed? etc

[@nicholasboisvert9468]

i find after a long time of playing casual and then going into ranked, depending on your role, if you're focused on getting kills and being very aggressive you'll die quickly. In ranked, you have to be more cautious and ward often. Farm well, and only initiate when you feel it's the proper time and you won't get killed from a gank or enemy ult. After a while, you sort of get a sense of when to be careful and when to push. There's also certain gods that are just better at pushing, and there are some who are better at pushing only at certain times in the game. Pay attention to, not only your early and late game, but if your enemy has mainly early game strength or late game strength and prepare your play style for that. I usually play late game gods, so I like to play more careful early on.

[@XtremeWipeout]

@@devinparis2063 what im saying is that in casual it seems to make you think you're good at the game then when you go into ranked, teams play so much more as a team you just feel like you're doing real bad.

Something that is true, that most don't realize in Ranked Play. Pick/Ban means WAY LESS when you don't know who you are playing. It makes complete sense in Pro Game Play where you know the team you will face, and have scouted strengths and weaknesses. You actually have information to work with. In Ranked, it's a double-edged blade. The idea should be to take out the most POPULAR Gods, since most likely the odds are better that those are the Gods the Enemy Team knows 'well enough'. The issue is, these should ALSO be the Gods YOUR Team knows 'well enough'. The fact is, in Ranked... Pick/Ban is just luck. It literally doesn't matter, because you're Blind Banning... you're Banning with NO INFORMATION on the Enemy Team. Now, there IS the situation that you can start looking into Bans as they are made to get an IDEA of what the Enemy Banner may be trying to look for, get some information from Bans that might give you insight on the Intended Comp. THIS is the main Skill of Ranked Pick/Ban. Figuring out the Intended Comp, and how best to disrupt it... through the information each New Ban gives. Main point is, people that get upset or caught up in Pick/Ban in Ranked... are wasting energy. You are not Psychic, you do not have a Scouting Report on the Enemy Team. Now, if it gave you the names of the Players on the Enemy Team BEFORE Pick/Ban, then that would change. Lower levels you might identify a popular 1 Trick to ban out, higher levels the names are more well known as major streamers and pros are ran into, and you DO have information on them. So they could absolutely do this, and THEN Pick/Ban would matter MUCH more in Ranked. Just understand, you're going in BLIND. You have NO INFORMATION, and the only info you'll be getting is what you see the Enemy Ban DURING the process. So just go out there, and HAVE FUN. Do the best you can with it, but remember this. At Low Level NO ONE LOSES in Pick/Ban... it's who plays the Comp the best, and occasionally who has that 1 Killer that carries the entire Team to Victory.

Best advice is to main jungle and support to climb because you can directly impact the game at all stages. You have to depend on your solo to not feed, but being able to help pressure duo and mid from level 3 and up really helps your team snowball as most players are aggressive kill chasers. You can't win them all, but solo lane is definitely the hardest to rotate from without losing farm or towers, so it's the one I choose last until I hit plat or so in a split.

i am only lv 77, played it not constantly... and i am hella scared of ranked. i have done it only 1 time when i was lv 65 and it was really no match.. all the others guy was more than 120....maybe it is the well known trash matchmaking, or it is always like this..so i will never do it again

[@orionar2461]

I still dont get playing ranked solo after 5 years in this game. I've given up trying at this point. I can manage with chaac, that's about it.

[@Centimeteres]

Oh damn! I didn’t know banning was a privilege given to the best in the team. Which makes no sense to me because when I get to pick my team usually wins, and the opposite when I’m the last to pick. I guess knowing who to ban is top priority

[@francisharkins]

Don't forget about the massive Smurf problem. Someone on the enemy team may seem like trash, but could actually come out to be the biggest threat. I hate running into people who are master or diamond ranked on their main account, but have made a new account or alt account that stays low level.

[@klaudiolaloshi6106]

Can you queue with a friend yes or no

[@ATOMiiCChicken]

Wish they had normal duel cuz i thought id do it to learn the gods n that and it just keeps matching me with people with diamond skins and shit and I've no idea what their god does and I've lost every game and got 400 mmr now i don't wanna play ever again

[@adammeneses2276]

From his s tier gods he has I’ve only seen people play heim aphro and yemoja. I’ve been in silver for ranked conquest and recently got into gold. Smite match making is just terrible if you are in silver and gold. 7 out of 10 games will be lost because of one or two players on your team. I would honestly ban kumba yemoja Thor skadi heim or even Anubis. Persephone and morrigan are really good but you will not see good people who can play them. Intersect does give good guide for pros but not for the majority people in gold and silver. I watched his smite matchmaking vid and he has not experienced horrific matchmaking like silver and gold people feel.

[@robertct06]

I don’t play Morrigan much but I can carry with her. I don’t have a rank but I’d think I’m silver

[@j45002]

The picks and bans part was pretty good but could use some graphics or something. You lost me a little way in

[@adamb7973]

You should do a vid on counter picking for solo

[@alexcat6685]

I a console player sometimes feel that I lose because I play on console and on console you can't type on chat to tell teammates what they want to play.

[@Prettywitch99]

You can on ps4

[@willyates8071]

He means you can’t type quickly guys

[@eidriennos6000]

My man talk about top tiers to me that I m a loki main lmaooo

[@westsidesagittarius3103]

Once you get to platinum get comfy because you're gonna be there for awhile smite thinks it's cool to put bronze silver and gold players on you're team so you can try and carry them. But 9 times outta 10 they're gonna feed and cause you to lose anyway.

[@thatbadger8445]

This helps me a lot, thank you

[@peckarow1282]

Gonna be honest, I never play the top tier gods and I just ban whatever people believe is strong at the time. Don't think I'll ever use this.

[@shadowgun22]

Your analysis assumes team mates didn’t just come straight from arena and are level 44 in a gold league match

[@electthought1296]

I mainly watched this to see if I was guaranteed my role now I'm sad coz I have to learn duo lane they're the only ones I can't play

[@robertct06]

I never knew the top player picked bans. I rarely do those bans and when I do I just ask everyone else what to ban lol

[@zipps6545]

Bro I hate ranked duel I get reported so many times just for beating the other person and I’m scared my acc might get banned due to smite shitty report system

[@jovan39]

good video, you should've said that people should not act like that merc in our game

[@stickfigureproducts]

I'm a solo main who loves to smack ppl with off meta picks so I tell them to ban whoever

[@thespongemonkey]

I know how to play every role at a basic level, but i literally can't hit ranged basic attacks to save my life lol.

[@koalashlok]

Please make a video how to get the flip out of gold

[@jessicasanford3913]

You must I mean must Jung or guardian to rank up till high gold

[@cooperplaysyt9375]

Honestly I have no intent or any interest in playing ranked if they guide you like playing can literally just be banned, there should be a ranked with Ban and without ban in my opinion

[@goldenpants35]

Take a shot everytime he says top tier

[@DungForever]

I'm just excited that my first two diamonds, who happen to be my fave gods, are considered "high tier". Day Hi and Pele FTW!! 😁😁😁

[@thatguyscrub8480]

help im more confused than before

[@neyouno]

Hey i was the Heim in this game xD

[@antagonistdan95]

I gain so little MMR from winning and lose so much from losing

[@Ytbjohn06]

I feel that I’m stuck in gold because my first few games were atrocious so I can’t climb anymore

[@robertct06]

david johnson play with someone and us a mic. Mics tend to get people to open up more especially if you’re funny

[@lukahaze9049]

My biggest tip is don’t be toxic and play in a team not like an egoist

[@konradvonschnitzeldorf6506]

Best tip is to just communicate with vgs and dont use all the VEW/VEG calls

[@franciscocontreraspelaez3874]

*King Arthur open* Locks Anubis solo, gets ganked 182627 times cause hes an anubis solo, pings and flames the jungler and gets afk :D

[@awn-exotic8439]

The "top pick..." stuff us only relevant at higher ranks.

[@Erik1495]

There is no 5 man ranked??

[@ether-pq4tc]

Discord gang rise up

[@infiniteendings7760]

Gang Gang

[@NathanArdin]

The squad

[@takinggaming6640]

Well. As long as I can get Jorm I’ll lock him in because let’s be honest what 100% counters Jorm on solo

[@willyates8071]

Anyone with a lot of hard cc. His passive is shit.

[@Kris-WT]

I didnt even watch the video. I just came here to cry about how I'm in platinum and got matched against a bronze team who were terrible, then got MATCHED with one of them the next ranked joust game. I'm assuming he was salty about taking the L, so he picked his worst god and disconnected when the game started. How do I know it was his worst god? I check up on everyone's profile and records during pre game and during. If i had to risk playing with 1 random, I never play my top gods risking their status and platinum/diamond borders. I'll play my third string ranked gods I don't care too much about but still am good with to rank my MMR up and joust ranking.

[@mizrumi]

can we collab?

[@Karpiu341]

I started playing rankeds since level 110 :V (I'm rather casual player)

[@Josh-cn5yp]

I rarely play conquest anymore (even casual) because people are so toxic and I cannot play support to save my fucking life. No matter what God I play, I cannot play support at an even semi-decent level. I kick ass as jungle and carry and I'm quite good at mid and solo but the community is too toxic for me to play support as I just get called trash.

[@C0d0ps]

This video is invalid with current ranked :/ Would really appreciate a new one, Intersect

[@Ragebh]

Me : *is 1500 mmr 2nd game of ranked* *is top elo* I'm in danger
