And it really changed the way I thought about the game! It's like my eyes were clouded, and now they're clear for the first time. I think that Smite is a really, really good game now, and it's insane that I didn't think that before. Holy ****. #retroactivefacepalm

And if you believed anything I said up there, I have a bridge to sell you.

I played Smite. One Arena, One Conquest, One Conquest Ranked. And for the record, conquest ranked ended up as a win with me as a 10-1-3 Thor. MVP.

And it's the same damn game as before. Maybe it looks better, maybe it's shinier, maybe it has a few more gizmos than before. But at its core, it's still flawed for exactly the same reasons I left the game to begin with.

"Teamfights" are nothing but chaotic orgies of everyone trying to wombo combo the other team before the other. Nobody wants to play support. This game is still ridiculously snowbally.

I've been in a state of ennui recently. Dawngate died. I literally cannot play Smite due to some weird glitch where the game is apparently already installed when it isn't. LoL and HOTS are there, I guess, but I've been feeling really weird playing those.

Anyway, I've made literally two posts in the past two weeks and haven't bothered to check on them because, ennui. A state of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement. (Or at least when it comes to MOBAs - MTG's lore is always nice, BoI Rebirth's going well, almost Plat God, and it's always nice to wreck people in Pokemon Showdown and Smash FG.)

Blah blah. I've not been working on the Dissecting Smite things as often as I could have, or should. So, as a thought experiment, I thought, what if [God] was made in Dawngate?

Here's the results.
