      Kyle Harbeck sadly some players learn slower than others. The issue is that you can’t be rude and tell them they are bad. You need to tell them what will make them a better player respectfully. Thats how MOBAs and high skill ceiling games should be, if they don’t wanna listen oh well. That’s not on you

      Kyle Harbeck it becomes a habit at some point. Some people need the mana for some reason. I play solo mostly so I don’t run into that problem.HOWEVER at least upgraded med is decent in team fights for the cooldown part of it. Only gods that should buy it are change or supports. (Shell is still better though. Med is just better early game )

      I wanna also add that at least learning a god of each different role (guardian, mage, hunter, etc) is good so not only will you have knowledge on a variety of gods, you'll also get to learn how to play each role.
      I found this is important because most of the time, almost no one wants to play guardian (in arena) because they want "big damage" and "kills", then they end up tunnelling and the guardian ends up being the carry

    Here's a mistake that isn't just limited to new players, considering I see plenty of 'experienced' players guilty of it: *being under the impression that getting kills matters*
    First Blood matters, shutting down streaks matters, and getting picks before an objective push definitely matters. Beyond that, pushing someone out of lane and forcing a back is just as useful as a kill.
    Waaaay to many people (usually the ones playing jungle) do literally nothing but lurk and pick off enemies who are backing. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've had a player BM the rest of the team for losing, when he's 14-0 but we've spent literally every team fight in a 4v5, we lose most of them, and then he picks up one or two free kills after each one, burns his Beads, Aegis and ult to escape, and thinks he's 'good' and that his team is 'bad'.

    • @kimberg2539
      @kimberg2539 4 года назад +2

      Picking targets after teamfights is the strength of many gods like loki, ao, morrigan, serqet. Ofc you should contribute to your team. But it is the frontlines job to make sure the jung, mid and carry has an opening in a fight. Solo n supp is supposed to cc the most imminient threats so that the dps can reap a kill or two in the shortest time possible. What loses the most games overall is unsync with your team. No help when an oppurtunity is revealed. Smite is all about teamplay AND correct use of time. Pressuring objectives etc. It is not COD.

      @captainswag9324 4 года назад +4

      @@kimberg2539 Picking after team fights is fine, so long as you aren't throwing for your team because all you're doing is sitting and waiting for it to be over and for people to start retreating to the jungle to back. Picking off their support mid-back is literally pointless, considering they won the fight and are now taking our tower. Those are the kinds of people I'm talking about.
      "I just got a two-piece."
      "You popped their support and mid while they were backing, because that's all we managed to get low in the last 4v5. Their carry just took a Tier 2 and their jungle and solo just took Gold. And you had Baka ult the whole time, but you literally just used it to overkill a 2 HP Nu Wa."

      @@AzrealsGift And the only reason kills become a goal hyper late is because it's the only way to take the Titan. Unless you've got a back-door strat, or are facing a team who doesn't know to defend for a downed Phoenix, that is.
      Generally, the kill is worthless. It's what you're able to take *because* of the kill, that matters.
      And that dovetails into another thing: It's infuriating to watch an allied mid-laner (or ally in general, mid just comes to mind first) get an early kill on the enemy mid, during my first jungle rotation, and then just back. Go get early push on their T1. Come help me gobble up their buff. Go steal mid camps. Otherwise your kill doesn't really help you or the team.

It's not perfect by any means I'm no SPL Pro Player or anything and I'm sure some of the builds he'll have to adjust and tweak as he develops his skills and playstyles, but I think it'll help him understand building better (so he doesn't go something like Mystical Mail Mercury) as well as just give him a quick reference.

And they always blame the jungler.... all lanes are losing , you help one lane, where the opponent is not 5 lvls above you, other 2 lanes flame and report you for not helping... wtf shall I duplicate myself, and you can’t do much if they are so far ahead, only if you catch them off guard and having used all abilities

Maybe if they made the hitbox for the 1 smaller but made it hit harder it would be better. Maybe if he picks up a corpse he could get a small speed boost too.

      My friend who has been playing for 5 years does this. And I've told him multiple time that it's really bad. The problem is that he is skilled, so he does get kills doing it and thinks it's good, even though there are far better option but he never listens lol.
      You can stack rage in 2 or 3 teamfights lategame, and buying it early just give you 20 power which is bad and it takes you like 10 or 15 min to stack it early because no fights are happening. And having crit chance early isn't your best option either. 40 power is 40 AA damage, because for physical it scales for 100%. So getting 40 power early (let's say power boots) is objectively better than getting double AA damage for 40% of the time, and your AA damage is like 30 + 20 (20 power of rage) early or something like that (so you get 50 bonus AA damage 40% of the time conpared to 40 bonus AA 100% of the time). Not to forget your AA speed is really slow so you should focus on incresing it and stacking some power item.

    Im a new player but i think the game is dying. No matter what server I choose, there are very few players playing the game and the matchmaking just keeps on getting longer.

    Wouldn’t complaining about others not doing anything be bad if you yourself does nothing. Had a Ullr get 3.5k damage out of a 30min game as the adc... I was a solo Suki and had top everything. Even the support had more damage than Ullr...

      Having top everything doesn't mean your doing good. It has nothing to do with how you play with your team

      Not everyone is of the same skill level and/or are still learning and bad games happen as well.
