SmiteFire Blogs

Good Monday, everyone. I'm back from my short vacation to the beautiful Mammoth Lakes, CA, where I was able to confirm my terrible fitness level (hiking elevations around 9-10,000 ft), but also realize that as I've gotten older, I know that I have a great appreciation for nature. My family used to go every 2-3 years to Mammoth in the summer for fishing and hiking, but I hadn't been back for 20 or so years.



League of Legends Thoughts

I don't recall if I've mentioned it here on SF, but I've been playing a bit of League of Legends, because some co-workers wanted to try it together. Being pretty new (account level 15 as of now), playing SMITE has definitely helped me with basic gameplay concepts for the game, but I've noticed some significant differences.

I'm gonna be the host of a podcast. For those who haven't hear my voice before now would be a good time to. The show I'm a part of is called Untold Legends, a spin off of the internet podcast Legends of the Internet on the JoeDini Youtube channel. The show is that we take Legends the original shows host, Joe, doesn't want to do or didn't make the cut so me and my co-host take it off his hands and do it in his place. Tune into the JoeDini channel at 8 pm CST and watch me and my co-host talk about the Untold Legend of Asperchu.

Hey, people.

So I was just in a lobby of a ranked queue, and there was a miscommunication due to an afk teammate. Long story short, I ended up getting stuck with a Susano Solo, when I originally intended on jungling.

..."No big deal", I thought to myself. "Let's make this work".

To my surprise, it actually performed very effectively. Solo role contains a wide variety of gods who can perform well in it, but even so, I feel like Susano is branching a bit off the meta.

In this blog post I was just going to do some thinking out loud as to why this might be better than I first thought. The match can be found here.

For starters, I think this was a good sample match, due to the fact that we were all similarly ranked (everybody in Platinum), other than a qualifying player on our team and a Gold 2 player on the opposite team.

I was up against an Amaterasu who rushed into a Berserker's Shield. This gave her pretty solid boxing potential as well as some sustain. I had to play the early ga…

So this is directed at mostly the ones I play with. Since summer has ended, and due to my circumstances I can only play Smite on Sunday mornings (or nights for you Ameri****s). Probably not even then, until the holidays come.

I'll still be here mostly

So yeah, turns out the next blog piece didn't take too long in-between.

Sorry if I haven't been joining the party games; the time zones and daytime activities kind of makes it difficult, but I do play when it's night time here (both home and in Japan).

Thanks to the new matchmaking/queue system (or rather, the old one we used back in open beta), the option to choose the Oceanian or Southeast Asian server becomes feasible! So far I've only played arena matches, and in some queues fail to get into a match, but the matches were pretty fun and chill. Experiencing low ping is super fun, with me finally consistently landing the tricky skillshots like Ares's Shackles or Tyr's combo.

Divine Uprising, while pricey, i can appreciate for the great skins they're putting out there, and the free gems help. I've put in a few rolls and i can say i'm happy i got the skins i wanted.

The newest adventure is also great fun! It's simple, but experiencing old joust after 2, 3 years of its' disapp…
