Smite - Battleground of the Gods!

[Hylian]

I literally just went 39-4-10 as Zeus and it was 4v5 with our team having 4. The final score was 63-48. The second closest person to me was a He Bo with 13 kills and 16 deaths.


Some points that you have wrong allied:

1. If Zeus is slowed his shield removes the slow when he activates it.

2. You can't walk out of Zeus ult. Creeping curse + Gem of isolation makes people move so slow they are in it for the entire duration pretty much. I don't see other Zeus players doing this, but they really need to.

3. Zeus has one of the best escape games. Following him into the jungle is just a horrible idea because if there is more than one person chasing him all he has to do is throw a Q and it will destroy them/slow them, not to mention he can use his ult defensively as well.


I literally am 22-0 with Zeus right now. I haven't lost a single game no matter how hard my team feeds. This last game I played was 4v5, and my entire team fed horribly. I was pretty much the only person with any kills, and I was 1v3/ 1v4/ 1v5ing their entire team. I just run in, creeping curse, ult, Q, aegis, beads if I need to, and then E and it kills everyone and they can't get out of it. Their entire team had Aegis as well and still couldn't live past my burst. I got a quad because 4 people were chasing me through the jungle. I had low life but I turned around and did Q -> ult -> E and they all dropped from full to nothing instantly.

Idk if I'm just like the best Zeus or something but I couldn't carry THIS hard with He bo/Sobek at all.

 

[Vyke]

I think Allied is building the tiers around 5v5 teamplay rather than pubstomping solo q, though.

 

[Hylian]

I mean...I feel like Zeus would be even better in 5v5 because you could coordinate your teammates CC with his ult. You don't need to build your team around him at all, just have one other person with any type of CC in lane with him right so he can get fed before creeping curse/gem of isolation. Once you purchase those two items he's just very dominate regardless of team comp.


It really could just be me pubstomping, but I find it hard to believe I've won this many games in a row so dominantly regardless of how my team feeds with a sup-par god hah.

 

[Geenareeno]

Good **** Dphat. http://blgaming.com/index.php/2012-06-25-21-43-57/smite/115-oohshiney

 

[DallasPhat]

Thanks I appreciate that! Surprised I'm already on it since I'm only level 16.

you are cray dphat, diem and everyone know once zeus is out of position for a little bit, hes DEAD. it really sucks his passive should be a passive on his abilities instead of his main passive because i feel he should have something else as his passive but it still stands zeus needs a super CATERED team to him because he can't solo mid, he barely can side lane without the proper support, he can't push because he gets ganked hard and if out of position once hes done for, if played properly and if they decide to counter you in lane thats extra annoyance dude. Zeus is good don't get me wrong but it requires the right coordination i feel to make him useable and even then why have zeus on your team when you have..

he bo and agni, even crappy anubis offers more, btw zeus's ult without the proper hold, you walk out of them with ease man, it won't even do enough to matter with gem of isolation.

Creeping curse i believe should be a later in the game item, if you are rushing that before beads or aegis (which are easily the most broken abilities besides hand of god) then you are setting yourself behind. Aegis is almost a must have, everyone rushes that **** usually by the time the first towers start going down because its a keyfight essential especially against coordinated burst

 

[Hylian]

I need to just..play with you guys lol.

 

[Jem.]

hMJem if anyone wants to play.

 

[Ignatius]

hades is pretty butt

 

[DallasPhat]

Allied talking like he knows anything.

 

[Hylian]

Just bought agni and went 27-4-8 my first game lololol.

 

[DallasPhat]

Hylian = best ap mid in smite!!! Teach me JORDAN

 

[Player-3]

bro im the best kali in smite as evidence of my 100% win rate with her and my large amount of experience in high level play

 

[Hylian]

Hylian = best ap mid in smite!!! Teach me JORDAN

First thing you do is go ALL IN every hand. No matter what. 2/7 OS vs cowboys? MAKE THEM THINK YOU HAVE ROCKETS MAN.

Everything else after will just fall in place .


Seriously though, Agni is insane >_>. What builds do you use andy and what do you level first?

 

[DallasPhat]

His fire walk is what I get at level 1. Level 1 firewalk DESTROYS an entire creep wave, you instantly hit 2 and get advantage. Whenever you're on skype we'll discuss more.

 

[Hylian]

GG's Andy/Allied. I need to play with you guys more, it's a lot more fun than solo queue >_>.

 

[DallasPhat]

GG's Andy/Allied. I need to play with you guys more, it's a lot more fun than solo queue >_>.

LOL Yeah always fun playing with you jordan.

 

[hichez50]

I'm confused how do you preorder a game that is free 2 play?

 

[Vyke]

You buy content that is optional to pay for.

 

[DallasPhat]

Basically you're paying for 8 dollars worth of there currency (which automatically get you a beta key). Which is a pretty good deal.

 

[Hylian]

You can also pay like $20 and unlock 18 gods or something like that IIRC.

Also, here is the new god spotlight:

[hichez50]

Can you buy gods individually within the game?

 

[Hylian]

Can you buy gods individually within the game?

Yes, It costs 5500 in game currency which you acquire by playing games and leveling up or you can just pay real money for them if you want as well.

 

[Hylian]

There is a new game feature that lets you give infinite beta keys. All you need is someones email. So just post your email in here if you still need a key.

 

[Deleted member]

wait what feature? I think my friend would want one but I ofc have an account myself

 

[Hylian]

Just look on the left in the main menu you should see it.

 

[DallasPhat]

Jordan bumping this thread for ya. Sorry I didn't respond back yesterday I went to bed and left my smite open. If you still need a build order for RA just tell me.

 

[Hylian]

Yeah build order would be nice.

 

[DallasPhat]

I'm assuming you're going mid?
I've been building Doom Orb 2 + 5 Health Pots
Then depending on how well you're doing, your first back should be to finish Doom Orb 3 and Sprint/Boots
(I usually have 1250~ by 3 Minutes, if you get a kill you can have it by as early as 2 minutes)
Then from there I usually like to pick up at least level 1 boots (reinforce usually, BUT I've been positioning myself better and started to pick up magi boots for the insane burst). The 50 magic power is essentially ~ 200+ on your burst (which is crazy at early level). Then from there if they are magic heavy I'll rush a void stone if they are physical I go quick mark. The mark combined with ra slow is insane sustained damage and shouldn't be overlooked. But if they have a good mix and I'm doing ridiculous well I've started to rush a Gem instead of building defensive. Then I don't know what to buy after that LOL. If they are heal heavy(like a team with vamana with guan/hel) make a divine rune if not rush a rod if they aren't building magic resist.

Also my skill order been the following 1 - 2 - 1 - 3 then spell priority is 4 - 1 - 3 - 2. But if your opponent is playing scared I've been going 1 - 3 - 1 so that you can throw your heal down and your lvl 2 solar ray can double tap and kill range minions instantly. But yeah ra a ton of fun, I think he's what every character should be balanced around. Anyways hitting a full combo is so rewarding, he's easily the mage with the best early-mid game. It's around 30-40 minutes where he falls off significantly.

 

[Hylian]

Ok cool I've actually been building similar to you except starting boots instead of orb, and not getting sprint. I'll try that out for sure.

I've been leveling 4 > 1 > 2 > 3, why do you level the heal over the slow? I don't really know which is better honestly just curious because it seems like I use my 2 more than my 3 so I leveled it first(though I could just need to use 3 more lol)

 

[DallasPhat]

What most people don't realize is the heal always gives you 35 magic/physical damage buff when you stand in it. So each auto attack does 35 more damage (which is pretty significantly at early level).

 

[Deleted member]

is this game worth playin

its pretty fun but its definitely still in need of loads of content

 

[Hylian]

I think it's worth playing. It's picking up fast in popularity and it's very skill based. If you don't want to deal with beta content you should probably just wait but all of the patches have been good so far.
