Hello again and welcome to apparently what has become my weekly Sunday blog (or well it was when I started writing this however hadn't finished it before noticing the time and deciding enough sleep was more important). Am I going to keep this up? No idea depends if I have things to talk about. This was just a funny thing I noticed when clicking on blog instead of new blog XD.

So I have played more Smite lately the rustiness isn't going away quickly enough. My mechanical skill has been severely deteriorated even though I played a lot of LoL (however mechanical skill is something that deteriorated there too not long ago, however I'm almost back to were I left of last season with me premade team).

However, that wasn't what I wanted to talk about. While my skill is rusty, I have been enjoying the games I have played. Mostly being Assault and Joust (Arena with friends here). Have done a game of Clash however I still don't really like the game mode. Being a bit reluctant to start solo queu…

So as you all may have noticed I have completed my plans. Which were the S1 nostalgia build (that actually is meta again) and the huge 1st spot crit item DPS research.

So what have I been doing also in that period well several things.

• Looking at all the skins for gods
• Noticing the Hell expelled skin is a really cool horror skin. (maybe even better than Izanami is a "horror" god)
• Bought some recolors that are cooler than the base skin
• Explored all the things in the menu and all the items
• Noticed warriors have shifted to a more tanky playstyle (more protection focused items)
• Noticing how certain items are still terrible or way too niche.

So I still have to learn how to build most classes, since a lot of items changed and the items make me feel lost too at times.

And I'm planning to set up a Z-A challenge. Yes instead of the normal A-Z I'm gonna do it backwards. The reason for doing is is to (re)learn the gods and this is one of the best ways to do it. The other way would be like the…

So as discord has noticed yesterday I played my first Games of Smite again. Before I start some things I noticed.

I'm getting annoyed by a notification in the reward center. Which is a bug.
I still hate the concept of worshipper boosters and think it shouldn't be a thing.
Smite really needs a update to the builder/shop screen. Not only in items for god, but also in general going more to LoL and Dota. Showing way more and more importantly better/valid options. This would guide players way better. And allows long time players easier acces to their items.

Also why dud they remove the spawn god icon faces in the pool they were pretty. Or is that in the texture pack?

So the first 2 matches were assault matches.
The first one to look at the new map. Honestly the orbs don't really change a thing apart from helping the winning team.

This first match I was geb. Honestly I know I had quite an impact. However, honestly I didn't feel like I did a lot pretty much provided protections healing an…

Blog title inspiration Batmetal song

Hi all, guess who decided to try to return to smitefire again. Since i have been gone for pretty much more than a full year (seeing as my last message was beginning of november 2017) a lot here has probably changed (for one the whole look). So i wanted to start of by congratulating all new vets, editors, mods(?) and admins that have gotten promoted during my hiatus. Also since it's been such a long time i think a short reintroduction is in order.

So I'm Devampi and I'm from the Netherlands. I started playing smite several days (1-3) before it officially launched (RIP Ymir skin). I played till somewhere halfway beginning season 2. I started playing smite because i loved mythology during that time. I quickly found smitefire and ended up becoming an active member in the community. As my understanding and experience grew by both playing and reading, I became quite a helpful member.
The reason I stopped playing was because of the huge influx of toxicit…

So I just watched Bensky's Zeus game (I'm so behind on my youtube as in 100+ vids behind) and it inspired me to type up this common mistake in both high lvl play and low lvl play.

I'm going to post this LoL game here. Go look at it and pay close attention to everyone KDA.

As you can see the kill spread on the blue team is pretty even with both main carries (mid and adc) having a high score. It could have been nicer with the top and jungler having some more kills too ofc however that wasn't needed.

If you look at the other team you can easily see that 1 player has pretty much all the kills on their team. And if you look at the gold she is like ~3K-5K gold ahead of everyone else on her own team.

This brings up a problem. if all the kills go to one person (accidentally or deliberately doesn't matter for the game. so having a 1 shot assassin like the red team can make things complicated) all the gold goes to one person. And this can be a huge problem, which can lead to a loss dependin…
