I've put this in a Google Doc spreadsheet for future reference. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A_XrKmSTjKWUtkg_w4vldkx6pkUTflNn_UEj79axDQA/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks a lot!
George Nixon
Thanks bro!
I'm confused about the who section like are we the who or are the enemies the who
Would love to see more videos on counters. especially which gods counter others in lane/team fights. Keep up the good work!
Should rename video to "Bracer OP"
That he bo and jing wei from this gameplay had mad jukes
Did anyone notice how many times Hel got killed?
Jerrico Esplana hel is hard to play especially in conquest she usually gets focused hard because of how much she helps her team with her heal cc immunity and damage
I have never seen anyone build black thorn hammer, imo, it should be reworked.
Prethiraj Paul I build it, it's CDR effect when you get low, plus bracer giving you that health back plus more CDR let's you get most of your health back and let's you cast your entire kit again for zero mana.
Wait until Cu Culainn is out. If they change the interaction, you might suddenly see it a lot.
Nice coverage! Hopefully it helps some of the community that seem to struggle with this area.
Really wanna thanks you for all your guides really helped me out
Hey man, thank you for all of these helpful videos. As a new smite player I would hate to be a drag on the team and these videos have helped me improve my performance in no small means. So please keep up the good work, you got a sub from me
Lord knows I needed this video 😂 Thanks Duke
most important video by sloth right here
This was a nice video, even if I don't think I'll ever play ranked, counter building is definitely a point I'm lacking in
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you, you helped me out
That was the best Kepri ult Ive ever seen!
for sure need a part 2 (love this btw)
what about under-the-counter items though?
thanks for this video I was one of the guys asking in you
Teaching loki mains and bronze players how to counter build is like teaching a fish how to climb a tree.
Getting a pig to fly isn't that difficult. Just need enough force in your throw. Getting it to land safely, however . . .
I mean I've never done ranked so I guess I'm worse than bronze. I need to learn counter building I usually change 1 item
Just because you haven't played ranked doesn't mean you are worse than bronze. Remember bonze players lose the vast majority of their ranked games so tbh they actually aren't good enough for ranked yet. If you try out ranked after playing a lot of normal then you might be surprised at how high in the ranks you can get. (Even though smite ranks are bad and usually don't determine how good you actually are)
Saint Zero Z how many ranked you have play dont mean anything. i did 10 ranked match in season 3, i was such a noob back then and i got ranked gold 4.
this spring split i have do 10 rank, lose some win some ( realy bad matchmaking tnx to the reset) and i got gold 1. this split i have done 10 ranked ( and 9win) got plat 4
actually i got more intense and high match whit casual then ranked. the only difference in ranked is thet there are less troll in ranked
retweet ^
do more man, this is good
thank you for the very detailed video!
OH DANG YOUR KNEECAPS!!😱 10:03
I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know about the Mystical Mail use against Loki.Nice job, Duke O_0
Good early anti-loki/assassin item for many mages who build early CDR is Breastplate of Valor. Early Breastplate on Scylla pretty much makes sure Loki can't insta-delete you because the protections give you just enough to survive the initial first hits. And thanks to her passive her damage won't suffer too much either.
Meitti Honestly I think the issue more so lies with her health imo
Which is why I said BoV is a good "don't die immediatly on a gank"- item for many mages.
Jezus christ its like 6:30 in germany calm down duke
Velocity Some people just want to work this early xD Sadly for me it's the nightshift
The information given is really appreciated.
I've got one question, though: what the hell was that at 3:00?
I feel like reinforced boots would be worth mentioning together with MoV since it gives protections from each hit, making things that DoT stack it up fast and give a considerable amount of protections early, also feel like CCr wasnt mentioned enough. Good novice level player guide though.
So when and on whom would you build Jade emperor's crown? An aura that lowers physical power. It's relatively cheap around 2k gold. I'm assuming a mid lane mage due to the (60?) power it gives? I tended to build it on my supports against physical heavy comps but wasn't sure if it was the best idea late game over something a little more for myself like mantle. It gives a bit of health too. 😞
herpty dumpty Supports and bruiser mages can build it fine. It only gives 20 power which doesn't make it appealing for a mid mage, and you won't be able to make good use of the aura as you will want to be away from the thick of the battle.
You'd build it against a heavy physical team comp, or early against specific strong physical gods.
In the topic of counter picking have you considered bringing back the how to counter every god series you had back in season 2?
Great vid. Thanks
So if you got dynasty plate helm early, would you sell it late game? And what would you sell it for?
Shane Powers yes you usually sell it late game for really anything of your choice (as long as it fits the God you are playing)
Lol carpet made my day :) 3:24
Great vid. ten thumbs up
Hi DukeSloth. I am your big fan from Ukraine(Kiev). I wanted, to try, to ask u, make one thing for me and potentially to all yoursmitemetafans.
The questions is - "Do u know. if there was any changes in MAX-AA-range after your video about it? Did u check new gods for AA-range? or mb Hirez fix all range-AA for the same range? is Aphro stil got longest range?" tnx for attention.
No changes! Haven't checked for new gods though
DukeSloth does Aphro really poses a threat in the current situation?Cut her some slack, shels having it pretty rough with all the anti-heal ;-;
DukeSloth can you do Ability based gods/builds vs. AA based gods/builds.
Duke, what are your thoughts on Stone of Fal as a magical burst counter?
BM4N04 It's an underrated item but is very good in the situations that it was designed for, which is to counter mages with high burst. One thing to be aware of is that it doesn't work against mages with tick based damage or damage over time (e.g Anubis) nor gods that have many instances of damage in their burst (e.g Ao Kuang) nor does it counter items that add bonus damage such as Polynomicon, Soul Reaver, and Ethereal Staff.
Bist du nicht mal am pennen? Es ist 6 Uhr und du lädst videos hoch :D aber gute arbeit mach weiter so
This just reminds me the desire for old video to be taken down(videos which involve MOBAs mainly).
thanks i lov u it rly helped
what about Stone of Fal against high burst mages/ mages that build Soul Reaver? Stone of Fal out right negates Soul Reaver (to some extent).
AJ Parker Yea. That iteam is great!
stone of fal makes anything that would hit for 30%+ of your HP instead only hit for a maximum of 30% of your HP. It absolutely cannot counter Soul Reaver that only does 10%.
gbtygfvyg 😑 what if an ability does 500 damage PLUS THE 10% from soul reaver and you have 1000 hp... is that not more than 10%? 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
VanilleRikkuTifa The Soul Reaver proc is treated as a separate damage source, and is therefore unaffected. That doesn't mean that Stone of Fal is useless, of course.
VanilleRikkuTifa i believe that if you had a thousand health and stone of fal and and ability hit you for 500 and soul reaver activated (10% of your max health) you would be left with with 600 health, because the 500 would be reduced to 300 but the soul reaver is counted as a deprecate damage source, and would deal 100.
Is there anyway to counter stuns n would you ever consider doing good god counters I know it would be hard but I fell that a lot of gods counter other gods well
Do you have an updated version of this?
Why did you go back into the fight at 3:00
Are'nt Frostbound and Witchblade good against aa based so it counters too eventhough fb isnt as good as Wb for that.
Senjuu • Yes they are.
On paper, yes. Practically, they often don't do enough as FB requires you to be close in the first place and WB is super situational overall. It's kinda like Spectral armor which on paper is an amazing counter, but doesn't really get the job done due to various reasons quite often.
Man that was a good hou yi
nice vid.
nemean lion could be used and greatly reduce damage of gods which have items with dealing percentage of max hp. that way you really can lower somebody's dmg.
counter picking gods, and understanding how/why certain gods counter each other. I think would be informative since many people don't understand why. it could take a long time for this, so why not make it series
Can you explain the broken ranking sistem one more time Duke. I went 5-5 in qualflying matches ( I played support in every match ), meanwhile my friend also went 5-5 ( he played solo and mid ). They put him in Silver 3, and I wad put in Bronze 5. Can you please explain that ?
probably because of your last season rank, i got bronze 5 from 8-2 ..
my last season ran was Silver 2 ( how )
Mythymoo wins
When daddy wakes you up late at night for a quickie 😏
you're helpful youtuber 👍👍
Do another one of these on new version please.
Amazing
Spirit Robe counters Chang'e so hard man. Only recently got into ranked duel and i learned that one the hard way
Stefano Padilla
Does she have any CC Outside of her ultimate?
I dont think u shall buy That just to counter her Ult
Hallo Ween Yeah that's all she has but it worked well against me. Because she has that hard CC you're not expecting it not to go through and that pause, that reaction delay screwed me.
So what's the difference between stone of gaia and magi's blessing??
Stone only counters specific hard crowd control (knockups, pulls, and knockbacks). While Magi's counters all hard CC, including roots.
Ohhh makes sense ty :3
damn that 4v5 win
does Ancile proc on Hades' blight attack?
It only procs to damage
ok so its bad on burst mages noted
Heres how you counter a ranged AA god as a warrior:
*surrender*
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"
NOOOO DUKE NOOOOO!!!! now people know how to counter my Warrior/Aphro joust teams
Ahahahahah I also think the combo Aphro + a warrior is unstoppable.
Right now Bancroft is soooo good that it is all the survivability you need as a meta mage. If you are playing something outside of the meta like scyla, then ya, id say go for Dynasty plate helm.
Allelujah vaymire For some reason I can't stop looking at your profile picture and laughing at it. Idfk who that is either
Allelujah vaymire That item needs a serious nerf.I'm sick of all the Hadeses and Freyas and Chroni and Anubises that build this crap first item.Then they push one button and get back half their health, like WTF?
Tudor Ciubotaru I won't be surprised if it gets some nerfs next patch. Maybe a price increase and some stat decreases
witchbalde as a solo lamer to counter 2x adc builds?
xXGAMERZBOIIXx Witchblade is a good item in that situation but you can also consider Hide of the Nemean Lion, and Midgardian Mail, to reflect damage and slow down attack+movement speed of hunters respectively, and Frostbound Hammer for similar purposes as Midgardian Mail. Horrific Emblem can also be a strong relic in that situation.
What about under-the-counter items though?
Why don't we see Stone of Fal being picked up very often as a counter to burst as much as Bulwark of Hope, given the unique passives it has for countering mages like Possidon? I play gold level and never really see it.
Wouldn't midgardian mail be a counter to movement?
Chaotic Player No, just a counter to attack speed. If a character is running, midguard won't slow them down for you.
Not really, since they're slowed only once in a while after attacking you. Its not 100% of the time like with frostbound or gem of iso. Midguardian is a real nice item to keep that enemy ADC from being too trigger happy on you but it wont do much against a jungler who is building movement speed and has speed buff. Its more of a "leave me alone" item then a "you're not going anywhere" item.
+jean-sébastien dubé (SirKasm) good point
You abused the hell out of Hel that game haha.
Also, considering the way you can use your dragons with basic attacks, wouldn't it be better to build Spear of the Magus instead of Obsidian Shard?
Penetration is pretty tricky. Its dependent upon a large number of factors. I typically submit that Magus is outright better than Shard in most situations but its dependent upon god and usage. Ao can attack with auto's or throw his attack. Dukes build is a throw based build meaning in many situations he's only going to hit one time in which case Shard is better. Demonic Grip is also very strong on Ao. He can shred down almost anything with just Grip.
LegendaryDreamslayer Sweet, thank you for explaining that one, I also thought that he wanted to use a throwing oriented build but for me, it looked like he used auto attacks a bit more, just me probably though.
Apollo is Swag If you're playing Ao Kuang as a basic attack mage rather than a burst mage, Spear of the Magus will be better in that situation. But in a traditional burst build, Obsidian Shard is better. Your goal with that build is to burst someone down quickly and Obsidian Shard helps with that as its penetration is applied instantly, not requiring stacks.
Sol Doesn't Obsidian Shard give percentage penetration, though?If the enemy team is compsoed of squishy gods, then it's a wasted slot.Spear of Magus and Spear of Desolation give raw penetration
Tudor Ciubotaru If the enemy team has no support or no player is building aura items or the Magic Shell relic, then yes you'd be right, but that's unlikely to occur. Because of this Obsidian Shard is a better option as it would result in more penetration versus a squishy that is gaining protections from their support's auras and relics. And while tanks aren't your primary target, you may have to help in killing one in a teamfight and if not, you will need to deal with them later, making the percentage penetration from Obsidian Shard more valuable.
Also you'd build Spear of Desolation and Obsidian Shard together anyways.
what about under the counter items?
I dont get Blackthorn Hammer. It relies on you talking 70% of your health in 1 Hit, and then gives you more Health so that circumstance happens less often.
Tedesco Blackthorn Hammer's passive will proc at any instance in which you are below 30% health, not just when you get hit by an ability that deals a ton of damage. I wouldn't blame anyone for not building it either way- it's pretty bad.
Sol Apparently a change happened completly under my radar, old passive was what I had said.
What about that thing called Stone of Fal? Duke............. :D
Forgot about that, but tbf I've not seen used once :D
Can i just say this, when your team needs something, BUILD IT INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING ABOUT IT
i am tired of matches agaist 3 healers and everyone in my team screaming " we need anti heal ! " and everyone is expecting someone else to build it, what you wanna your support to build divine ruin?
not everyone is a good pick for antiheal...the frontliners should get pestilence, jungler beatstick, and that's it, divine ruin isn't as easy to fit in a mage build, as is witchblade. So mid/hunter shouldn't be the first option for antiheal.
Thanks good video to keep the scrubs off me
stone of fal counter burst damage too
Part 2 please
Do 1 in 2018 may please. Since a lot about to change
Relics
do AA gods/builds vs. Ability based gods/builds.
bracer op
There is no good counter to anti heal :(
Invalid Name. Please Try Again. Yeah I know and it really sucks, especially now in S4, when almost all healrs we're butt fucked T_T
you get, like, what from Rod of Asclepius?10% more healing?
Pestilence is an aura which reduces your heal by 25% and Divine Blessing and Brawler's bat reduces the hit enemy's healing by 40% for a pretty great amount of time (4 seconds?idk for sure).So yeah, Aphrodite and Hel are pretty useless right now ;-;
Invalid Name. Please Try Again. Is it still hard
Pestilence ?
I build pestilence versus like hel or hades
why are all Loki players Brazilian ?
do you think fatalis should get a +300 health buff?
why the early upload
Biggest thing no one seems to understand... If you are facing anyone like chacc or a team with a Ra or anyone who had a fuck ton a Regen like... sylvanus... and you're a warrior... BUY BRAWLERS BEATSTICK FFS. Simple as that.
Shane Morton nah il pick pestilance over bb on solo. il let the browler to the jungler.
Brawlers gives zero protection which a solo laner (assuming warrior in solo) needs. You are not optimizing if you get brawlers on a solo warrior as their damage scaling is fine with just getting defenses. You should instead get pestilence and witchblade. You'll get more useful stats like health, defense, movement speed, etc...
Shane Morton No, never go brawlers on solos, ALWAYS take pestilence, or if you're an AA god witchblade too
Order & Chaos more like osiris and bell.
3:00 why :/
4:30 i hate when that happens.... -_-
Änzile
spirit robe has less effextive health that hide of the urchin stacked even with the 15% damage mitigation imma send you a spreadsheet soon duke sloth :)
If you keep dying before you can get the stacks then it won't matter how much EH a fully stacked HotU gives. Spirit Robe also gives CDR and CCR both valuable stats for mages.
snprshot he already did a video on this. He had all the numbers laid out.
early af
Need help i loose to bel ever single time
2:59 3:04 bronze decision making
Funny, because the shotcall for it came from SqueaakyG, I didn't originally intend to go in until he said it. Didn't know he was bronze smite.guru/profile/pc/SqueaakyG/ranked?season=4 🤔🤔🤔
DukeSloth lmfao
I dont know why but I don't like Frost Bound this year.
First
Jesus,this comment and profile are perfect together.
you can't counter wukong. your vid is misleading.
Timmy Tapir probably a latam player
Hallo Ween lol you're a pleb. his one makes specteral useless and it shouldn't even be that bad of a fear. like i said wukong isn't countered. lolllllllsssss
Winged blade, Midguardian mail.
TheEnergyStation Honestly, I believe those high sustain solo gods, Chaac/Herc, etc usually do beat on Wukong pretty bad, but I have had good games against them and bad games against them with Wukong.
QuantumFizzle Nah, he beats both atm, only ways to win against him is Osiris and Bellona.
@ 3:00 Why in the hell did you dive in for He Bo?!? Shoulda just retreated. No way you woulda 0 to 100'ed him in his tower.
what about witchblade?
frank lavoie i like it on bell elrong and osiris. those tree can stick to target easly to applay it, its quite cheap, give you enought defensive stats and make work before you build pestilance.
you have no idea how fun is box a chaac under the rain and see him disoriented by the lack of heal.
Ao kuang is so op i won joust 23/0
Soul Eater still sucks... And Hasten Bow is dumb af too.
yea console players will never counter build properly, xb1 is filled with kids that use the same builds every game and never adjust its getting boring to play in console
AJ Thelwell Xbox and pc are not different I play on both and there are just as many garbage pc players as console ones. must be your elo
Captain x 115 even ranked on console is pointless, im in gold 2 but the people i match with all seem to olay loke they are unranked its toxic
AJ Thelwell I hope you don't consider gold to be a high rank also ranked in general is full of salty people no matter the rank or platform
Captain x 115 obviously gold isnt high but fighting out of bronze after going 7 and 3 in qualifiers is stressfull, it woyld help if everyone was in the same page instead of fighting for roles which for some reason in xbox everyone wants to play mage
I rebutt that.I started playing smite on console and I learned counterbuilding in time.Don't place all the console players in the same league...
DoubleTap with the salty 14 dislikes
Please enunciate your words more
comparing countering items on this to dota, dota has counters to everything, smite does not.
Mr. Bean SMITE has really many blind spots regarding counterbuilding, unfortunately...
Tudor Ciubotaru yeah thats why some gods feel broken, as there is no way to stop them.
What about under-the-counter items though?
