This is the worst tier list I have ever seen lol. "CS isn't on top of viewership" CS casually being the second most viewed game in that entire list. Puts Starcraft at the bottom because of viewership? You know nothing about competitive games or esports lol

Dafug? Just type Highest prize ever made in competitive esport games. and LEAGUE OF CHILDREN aint even close.

This was the most informative Symmetra guide I've seen. Thank you very much.

I would personally rather see smite die. A smoother transition like the transition of csgo to cs2 is what much of the player base expected. Skins not porting over is a fat L but it is what it is. But i think the biggest thing is just simply the community as a whole. Severly toxic, unhelpful to new players but would rather trash on them at every chance they get, hyper-competitiveness even in casual game modes. Things like that will not change for Smite 2. So no new players will not be joining, and people that feel scammed will also not want to contribute to the new game because theres no garuntee the same transition wont happen again onto the next smite (if there is one). All the writing is simply on the wall here, its time for smite to take its well earned rest. *ive played since S1 btw*

5:39 you are about to say some of the dumbest shit ive ever heard lmao 😭

nice vid, im a advocate for no sbmm but u brought up some good points, keep up the good work

Let me know if things need clarification as well, as per usual I just rambled off my head no script so it's not really fluid 😅

Guess you never played MOBA 3rd person games!! Smite will always be number 1....

"competitive dota scene never sticks out" LMAO have you even heard of TI and how much is the prize money compared with other games?? Any of your "statistical analysis" only comes from personal assumptions and does not include any reliable data xdd

My tier are s tier is cs2, rocket leauge, brawl halla, sim Racing and Warcraft 3 tft A tier fifa, melee, quacke B tier starcraft 2 C tier: Valorant D tier cod, halo, pubg F tier, leauge, dota, smitte, HoN, farming simulator, ow2.

Warcraft 3, Brawlhalla?

I fell asleep trying to Watch lol esport, where as counter strike have just rounds. Its a much better system.

starcraft, fortnite, rocket league and CSGO ranks below R6 you are a joke 🤡😂😂😂

U saying: Wow UE3 was made in _2006_ (!) thats 3 years after I was born !! Made me feel real old.

It is a video game

Video is starting... "I don't even play smite-" Ok.

I've spent a couple hundred bucks on the game but I don't care. These cosmetics don't mean nothing if the game is dying. But to be fair it hasn't felt like SMITE has been dying, it feels very active. However the games visuals have really put me off over the years, and matched with all the cartoony, silly skins and crossovers, the games overall visual direction feels and looks very lacking. A clean slate in UE5 is just what SMITE needs and I hope they do their outmost with this move to ensure a professional look and feel to the game. It's a game when GODS duke it out, so I wish they take the game more seriously in that aspect.

Glazing is real

I'd rather give up all my skins.. for a chance that smite2 will revive and grow. Because we already know these dumb skin bitches. Are going to cry about how items and builds work. And I hope to god high rez puts their foot down.

Great video pal, 100% on point

Quick note here about the skins. (Because that's what everyone is hype fixated on, I'm personally just not happy about the direction of the game being geared more like league with the item shop & Jungle but that's a whole other conversation.) Legacy Gems are gems that players get reimbursed for supporting the game with microtransactions and season passes, as well as regular players who got the old gems as log in rewards. Awesome right? The problem is they didn't portray immediately how they'd work. At first they worded it as "50% of most purchases", So in return for the money you spent on the game you got a dope discount, But all it is is a discount, Not true reimbursement for content lost. Now there's a bit more information and the situation changed. But the ACTUAL issue is the straight up incorrect statement of content not being able to be ported into the next game from UE3 To UE5. It absolutely can be. Because most of the assets in the UE5 alpha so far are all touchups, Even the content pass that is full of 'new skins' is recolors from the previous years, none of it being new and all of it being ported over with a new coat of paint.

I have been playing SMITE from before it launched. I used to play LOL and tried DOTA and can honestly say I prefer SMITE over them and there fan base. While I do run into a few annoying people on SMITE it has never been as bad as the people that play LOL and DOTA. So I invested my money into SMITE. I am super happy that they are finally investing that money into an updated game. I agree with you 100% the skins and packs that people pay for are investments in the game. I have never felt like I needed to buy the skins I just wanted to do my part in investing in the game. So the SMITE 2 announcement is awesome to me.

I've played thousands of hours and could not have said it better myself. Entitlement of the highest degree. Super hype for Smite 2 and glad i could help fund it in Smite 1, and love the Legacy Gems idea (waaay more than i thought we would get haha). Same people complaining are the toxic people that I pray to the heavens really do never touch Smite 2. That would be awsome lol

Big smite player here. In my opinion, this is a whole new game. New mechanics. More itemization and more options for every class. Less limitations. It's gonna be so good.

So many babies don't understand how sequels work

yo bro stop moving yo goofy ass head I'm trying to connect the dots

Idc about skins which is why i didn't spend money on them. I understand the concept of microtransactions

Smite community is filled with toxic and entitled people lmao. Trust me those who actually give a fck about the longevity of SMITE or understand how businesses work aren't making a fuss about the skins. Wanting SMITE to succeed isn't about the stupid skins but rather having a healthy playerbase, an updated launcher, new reworks and gameplay changes. I've been playing since beta and don't care about the skins quite frankly, its been 10 years and ive enjoyed using my skins. Id much rather have a better overall game than SMITE 1 with all its bugs and small dying playerbase.

I'm 32, the majority of my gaming life games weren't all live service games that were continuously updated over time. That being said, League of Legends updated its gameplay and graphics over time without making League 2.

i played since alpha, if youre upset about skins grow up lol.

Thankfully you mentioned that you don’t play smite! Your entire opinion is invalidated. As someone who has played smite since the beta and has archon Thanatos (you probably don’t know what that is since you don’t play the game) it is very saddening that my skin will not transfer. Regardless, Smite 1 will inevitably shut down after Smite 2 launches and gets its main employees working on it. So don’t argue “oh just play smite 1 and not 2”. The issue why people are upset with skins is because Smite 2 is going to be the same title essentially with new graphics and code. They’re going to resell the same smite 1 skins with new graphics in smite 2. This is already established with the Devine legacy event where they are porting over some of the skins to be in Smite 2 that you will have to use your legacy gems for even if you already owned them. You can say “oh they aren’t gonna do that, they’re gonna make new skins!” until they run out of new skins to make, like the dozens of recolors of rare skins in Smite 1. Majority of the players are excited for the new game and will get over their skin issues in time along with myself

I’m so hyped for smite 2. I will miss my smite 1 skins however my excitement for new skins, gods, and gameplay mechanics outweigh that.

I've played smite since the initial alpha and beta. Stopped playing on and off the last 2-3yrs, primarily because the game hasn't evolved. An engine overhaul could make a lot of things better for the game and increase what the developers can do with the game. I think the people who are upset are just ppl who think they should be able to get skins free in the new game. Had the devs announced the game and all skins moving over, those ppl wouldn't have reacted negatively. But bc they'll have to rebuy some skins, they are upset. Which isn't valid for them. Smite is a free game, developers need to make money, skins is how they do it. Gamers are just way too entitled nowadays.

Skins should be a couple dollars not 10-15

The good thing is Smite 2 isn't replacing Smite 1 like CS 2 did to CSGO. (Not yet at least) So if they have fun in Smite 2 but not a lot, Smite 1 will still be around. I'll play Smite 2 sure but l like to see where it will be a year or 2 after its official release.

Something you fail to realize is that smite was never a steam based game more people play smite off steam on pc, and majority of smite players are on consoles. The steam thing compared to Dota isn’t that good of a comparison tbh. Smite has crossplay with a bigger player audience(console players) Dota doesnt

XD what a corpo bootlicker L take ; you're seriously out here running defense for a million dollar company who is aggressively going out of their way to be anti-customer XD

The fan base is hyped af huh? There is a small VERY VOCAL portion of the community that is pissed. Yes, ur vault as fuck. There r people that are freaking tf out but the community is hyped af. I've been on since beta, trust me, we r hyped.

While I think there are some overreactions for sure, I disagree with a lot of points in this video. "playing a game should be like tipping"; I don't see what give you the authority to decide how people should feel about getting skins, or why it should be different than getting a map pack in Halo 3, it's something that changes some visuals and makes people feel good, it increases their enjoyment of the game, that's why they spend money on it, you don't tip because it increases your enjoyment of the food you ate (at least I don't). My understanding is the 50% is to make the costs equivalent purchasing power, which to be fair they still didn't have to do, but they aren't increasing the value for gems spent, they're keeping it the same. I could be wrong on this, but that was my understanding from their statement. I don't know if pointing to DOTA and LoL are your strongest options here, considering neither of them have done this despite being around longer, their numbers are probably higher because they're more serious games, Smite decided to court a more casual audience, and many of the more serious players have left for better games for that like LoL. I don't think people are all sure that releasing the game in a state where it looks better, but has much less content (aren't we only getting like 20 gods??) is the best way to save it. Well, it has happened before, skins ported from OW to OW2, also you say never before, but also Smite runs off a very recent economic model based off LoL, so the very concept of a sequel outside of OW2 hasn't really been seen before. Again, I'm not sure how important the new prettier looks are, League hasn't had one of these, a lot of champs look pretty bad, and dota 2 is downright disgusting, that being said since smite is more casual maybe how it looks is more important than in these other games. But it does feel like there is WAY less content with such a tiny pool of gods, and for the most part very mechanically simple ones too.

you contradicted yourself so many time. 1 you say skins are a tip to a server at a restaurant. no they arent. its a product youre buying smite 2 isnt just a graphics update. using map packs doesnt make sense since buying a map pack in halo 2 will not grant you access to it in halo 3...while true, halo 2 and 3 are different games entirely, different stories, different characters, different weapons..etc...smite 2 is still just a moba with the same characters same maps for the most part, although it was built from the ground up its the same. the only saving grace is that theyre keeping smite 1 online alongside smite 2. i dont care about the skins since i can play smite 1 whenever but its kinda shady that the only reason theyre not bringing the skins is because they wanted to build from the ground up. and at least you get gems that make everything 50% off! but most of the skins in the forseeable future are just recolors of existing smite skins that you have to REpurchase. if youre gonna announce that players cant bring their skins and that their only compensaton is a 50% off coupon at least make the smite 2 skin showcase NEW skins. again im not mad, but the way they presented everything was stupid asf and i can see why people are mad after announcing everything is gonna be brand new and 100% better, the first skin showcase is literally all OLD skins lol

Ive came back after a few years of not playing. And Heaven forbid these monkey brained wanks stop being assholes for 6 fucking seconds because "you're jungling wrong."

I agree somewhat, smite 2 is necessary. However, i disagree with the tipping analogy. Hirez has made it clear that buying cosmetics isnt tipping, its buying a meal. So much of smites design is now based around getting you to grind for cosmetics using your wallet or energuy. There are tons of different events and menus and missions happening at the same time, all of which are solely designed around aquiring cosmetics. No wonder these wallet players are upset, hirez made it clear with limited time skins and collabs that cosmetics are end game content for their moba. They've built it like that.

any gaming community is this way lmao

I’ve been a huge fan of smite for the past 7 years, and have countless skins. I agree with your sentiment here completely and I couldn’t be more excited for Smite 2

L Take. Assets can migrate from UE3 - 5. Fortnite did it, in its beta it was on UE3, UE4 was developed in tandem with UE3, and they migrated it from 3 to 4 before release. Right now Fortnite is on UE5, all of these migrations happened over the course of patch releases. There isn't a Fortnite 2, nobody lost their skins in the transition, Epic did it without trying to resell everyone content they already paid for and no one probably even knows this because of how seamless it happened. Next, even IF they couldn't do it, most people would not be upset if they didn't refund our skins with a condition. Legacy gems can only be used in SMITE 2 if you purchase things in SMITE 2 because they can only pay for half the amount of an item. So even then, we don't REALLY get our money back for this transition. IF Hi-Rez cared, they would port over the expensive skins like the T5's and most players would be fine with just that. No one is asking that they port over the re-colors or low effort skins of the game. Lastly, all this SMITE 2 release does is divide the playerbase further. And I know the REAL reason they're doing it. It's not because of the skins, its because of the Ultimate God Pack. I'm calling it now, but I think Hi-Rez regrets ever releasing the Ultimate God Pack for SMITE. No other MOBA lets you instantly unlock new playable characters forever as long as you spend 30 bux. And I guarantee they regret that business decision. So it will probably be absent from SMITE 2.

Mostly kids or grown as men with no life

You shilling for a multi million dollar company and calling people entitled for expecting skins in a live service game to keep being usable is pathetic. The draw of buying skins in a live service game is to have a collection of rare and exclusive skins, telling people that their collections can disappear in a few years removes any point of giving them money for most people. Sure, you can say smite 1 still exists, but let's be real, the playerbase will now be split, and slowly bleed over to smite 2, while smite 1 will die and be shut down in a year or two. They're killing their own game so the new game can suck more money out of the same people. You can argue that that's what normal game sequels do in the first place, but this isn't a normal game, it's a live service that people expect to keep growing while keeping the things they earn/buy intact, that's what live service games advertise, remove that, and you remove the entire point of treating it differently than a normal game. You calling the legacy gems generous when they're literally just a coupon to spend more is ridiculous. The legacy gems are not a gift, they are a tactic to target people that have payed in the past and get them to pay again. It's not them doing anyone a favor, it's them whaling for more money, and they're talking about it like it's some grand gesture to their dedicated fans. The unreal 5 skins are obviously going to be more expensive anyway, since they're already increasing prices and now the skins will be even more detailed, so you'll likely end up paying the same or more that you do now even WITH the discount. "generous" would be giving players a flat amount of actual gems based on how long they've played the game, or giving us a couple free skin unlocks for gods that we've hit diamond with in smite 1. I would have rather had nothing than a sneaky monetization tactic disguised as a kind hearted show of appreciation. And on the subject of porting old skins, stop acting like it's so complicated. They're just 3d models that already exist. They can be re rigged for the new animations and any missing ability effects can be substituted with the new default effects. The voice lines are already done, so no need to re record unless they add new callouts. The "246 years" of time they say it would take is just hilariously misleading. They're talking about bringing in a new god every couple weeks, with new animations, a new unreal 5 model, new kit, new everything, and you're buying that it would take an ungodly amount of time to rig a pre existing 3d model? Is it extra work? Yes, but it's also the entire reason most people give them money for skins in the first place. Stop making excuses for big companies, they don't give a crap about you and they'll kill this game too when they feel like it's not making them enough money.

This whole video could’ve been a minute long but just like the people you’re talking about, the yapping is insane, you don’t even play the game to act with this entitlement. Plus the people complaining are the minority. Ridiculous video.

As someone who has played since beta and has 3k+ hours over the years, i one hundred percent agree.
