Good game brother, I really appreciate the constant stream of content and the struggles we've seen you go through to provide it over the years. It's truly inspirational and is the main reason why I even mentioned my Discordia ranking there - you did a video jokingly saying Discordia is SS tier however long ago and then I picked up a character I really ended up enjoying. Your work doesn't go unnoticed, it isn't small because it's a video game, and you've been part of inspiring people to follow their passions in life. Keep doing you Sam, big love!
Welcome to my entiar GM career as a conquest main. It is so easy to get a team which messes up and takes 400 MMR away and demotes you down 2 ranks (As in number position eg. 22 -> 20th place in the rank) and get 1 or none MMR point.
It's like this in a lot of games with ranked because the playlists are so dead sometimes. In rocket league you could play someone who hasn't played a lot of 1v1 just for that season so their mmr is low and if you lose, you lose 4x the mmr you would have got if you won. It's absurd
What was the good part? I honestly don't see it. The discordia was worse than most I see on conquest, like 10x worse. He missed a majority of his kit, and a majority of his 2s, which has a giaaaant hitbox
@@SimplifiedHardness always the first excuse of every smoker ever lmao it really doesn't make people forget core principles. You don't forget that you use toilet paper to wipe your ass for example.
It's not a 1500 deficit it's a "whatever substats boots have" deficit and by endgame it saves u money but yeah for sure a deficit well played that discordia was legit too
Dude if your mechanics and awareness weren't as good as they are, you'd have been done. Well played as usual and, once again, keep up the great content. PEACE!
@@SimplifiedHardnessI would never undersell his technique. It's why Sam can literally do the dumbest start and still manage a win against a talented player.
@@Leoj305 the player was real garbage. This game was only "competitive" for two reasons: Garbage builds from both, and the terrible potion start. Losing 40 power early on is horrible. 40 power is a lot early on.
ForbiddenAsinus always stay in the minion waves, as soon as you get rekt, just eat a minion and if you see you can’t win the fight, jump out of it (never use you jump if you cannot secure a kill). Always use your ult as soon as you can, remember that the circle Bakasura’s makes in his ult doesn’t let your opponent to jump when they are in the circle, use that to your advantage and as soon as they get out of the circle and try to escape (using their jump), use your jump and stick to them like a mosquito If you STILL can’t win any fights then just give up to the honor duels and farm until late game, it’s the ultimate Bakasura strat
What made you get the kill towards the latter stages was finally get your defense item so that you can take damage. Before that you were too squishy with useless sustain. Juking ofc was a big part but without defense he just had to hit you with something. He had pure cooldown and defense and no pen, so defense just completely shut him down.
I would say that you were not only caught up after First Blood, but you were actually ahead, since you had two full items, whereas he had one full item and boots
Finally subbing lol. Just got into smite and have been watching you for several days. Been learning a lot about 1v1s, and consequently, the solo role on conquest. Thanks man, keep up the good work.
please play a hun batz or a raijin game they're both pretty underrated and I couldn't find a game less than 3 months on Rexsi, doubleJ or your channel. Thanks!
If you really think about it it’s not a horrible option, I know it sounds crazy but if you make it out of the esrly stages you are going to have the late build faster, plus Merc gains damage with movement speed so I would actually like to try this myself😂
@@DimKanGr you need to hit 3 autos for executioner to work, and merc is a one punch type of god, plus the flat 30 pen from toxic blade+asi makes more sense against someone with 1 defensive item. then stacking two % pen items like titans and exe... Executionner literally makes no sense here.
@@Drawfill lol wtf dude who talked about stucking those two together? I said that it would be better to go executioner instead of titan s bane. At 100 prot , exe reduces it to 74 prot and flat penetration reduces it even more ofc. Also the statement that if he has only one defence item you dont need percentage pen, i am not sure about it bro. The closer you get the enemy to 0 defences the closer your damage gets to become true damage( which means the damage you do without mitigation practically)
I feel like each individual item was justified to be built at the time, but it culminated to you having 125 power by the time you had 4 items. I think if you try this again, you need a power spike sooner.
Nice video. But you keep saying you are setting yourself back by 1500 due to buying the speed pot - i don't quite get that? Since the pot gives you the speed part of boots, comparing that to item stats you're more like 7-800 behind - and then making up for that since you can go into item 6 early. But it essentially only gets you to final build 550 gold early.
So what's the theory here? Is it just frontloaded damage? or it is to save an item slot cause you don't need boots? alternatively, is the answer memes? Legit question here as I haven't played this game since... well I stopped before pele was a thing...
Well Merc gets extra power off of movement speed, so he'll get the power from speed potion, power from speed buff, and then he'll have his 2 so it'll be like having boots anyways, without actually having to buy boots
i guess it's just for the meme's but if u do your math, you'll notice once he got his Golden Blade online he was 3.000 Gold ahead without knowing it and cause he was Mercury he gained Power through Movement Speed, which in total mean's he gained all the power he needed in this very moment, now u simply need some skill and make the first blood and you're permanently ahead, as long as u dont get first blooded and dont fall behind with your level, you'll prob win this 10 out of 10 times.
@@whiterose8601 u could do that aswell and be faster in clearing the camps, one might figure out a strat with skipping boots and the speedpot, would love to see someone trying different strats and figure out what work's best tbh and maybe it's something worth to go for in the end, would be sick af in my eyes lmao.
@@haxkztasy I've done some experimentation with early speed pot on merc and I've always drawn the conclusion that it's terrible in every scenario. Boots are roughly the same price but give 40 more power. Also you will keep them for at least 20 minutes in most games. That's like a 20 minute red pot accessible at level 5. Also merc struggles against early pressure. Early speed pot absolutely cripples him.

0MMR is a joke. No matter the matchup matchmaking gives you, you should never have to play with 100% risk and literal 0 reward.
Yeah thats a poor system, much like World of Warcrafts in the past. You essentially are forced to stream snipe higher MMR players just for elo.

Bruh i forgot that was even in his kit i was high af
@@SimplifiedHardness if you had buy shard instead you would probably won, gg though
Yeah literally any pen item instead of that would have easily won him the game. Complete crutch item for bad players. As evidenced by the 0 pen build.

7PlayingWithFire7 bc a little tidbit of “immune to slow” is a core principle 🤔
I watched this when it came out, got this recommended to watch again last year. And here it is again on my front page !! ❤️
Wonder if he's still number 1 Discordia after this Vid.
In my country "Good shit brother" is an insult. lol
2:10 "DICsordia!"
The first few minutes of this physically hurt me to the core. You're a true mad man sam
Usually watch the videos later in the day but i saw the title and had to watch. That was a good game man
Wow watching old smite is a trip. Insane video.
I mean... you can't really get upset about being killed on a camp when you are in their spawn 🤷♂️

If u r Merc is this a real 1500 disadvantage?? It’s a speed buff and his passive turns speed into power?
It's still not as much power as he would've gotten with full boots.
Not really, he doesn't need to buy boots with it so that essentially gives him more gold for other items
Man this was the hypest damn game I've seen in a bit. Fuckin loved every minute.
7:26 damn that was clutch
Thank you Sam for always giving great content
SAM: WHY WERE YOU THERE
WTF
My guy: I watch your videos daily.

I watched this vid on 2x speed, it was something...
I AM SPEED
Way to pull off that win sammie boi. Hope you are staying safe
Do you need speed pot to type that fast?

Have to always come back to these meme videos
Does any one knows if that build works on conquest?
So we learned that Sam is about an 1800 gold better Player than other grandmasters.
well done bro!! very entertaining!
I would say that you were not only caught up after First Blood, but you were actually ahead, since you had two full items, whereas he had one full item and boots
How do you always know where to punch when she’s in her hiding circle

love how the discordia was like SUPER FAN of him. hahahahaa
