Both heartstone and smite had there patch updates at the same time. The irony. I think. lol

Now golden cards are more shinny with it's animated boarders and pictures. But they ruined "Released the hounds" card. No more OTK (One Turn Kill) for the hunter :/

Kali though I like. wish they gave her a buff skill. I guess her passive is kind of like that. But only with one target. First time I use her. Sobek was my target right off the bat. What a way to start her lol.

After failing horribly in the two most recent ranked (Art jung) matches I had, I'm beginning to question if I shouldn't play ranked. I need some advice on that. I need feedback so I can improve, which is why I typed this.

The first match was a complete ****up on everyone's part except our solo. It was awful and I do not wish to discuss it.

The second match is what I want to talk about. My team was Guan, Sobek, Xbal, me, and Aphro. Enemy team was Bastet, Agni, Ra, Neith, and Ymir. Bastet was jungling.

I chose to help Guan with his left blue*.

I was in left lane when the fire nation Bastet attacked right, getting a kill for the enemy Neith and one for herself. I had time, so I took both bottom furies.

Then mid was in trouble from Agni (Agni was almost in the center of the lane), and the mid was at about half health. I tried to gank middle, and failed (Agni was about a single basic away from dying, and Bastet and I were heavily damaged from the fight). Aphro had healed herself to abo…

The whole start talking trash in the middle of a smite game could be for several reasons. well here is a couple pointers to help that trash talk, don't do it for the love of god (or these gods) it ruins the game. the whole point of smite is to have a great time and play with friends or to play by yourself to relief stress not gain stress because some random kid doesn't like what god I happen to choose and it messes him up because he cant play when there is a kali in his game. it's a game people why do you care what other people do if u lose u lose get over it s*** happens. But to those who make the world go round and when some1 just happens to ks u and u say no problem, bc u know a kill is a kill and it may or may not help u win. you are the true heros of the smite world. From my point of a view I hate reporting people I have only done it like 2 times and that's bc some guy got way to into it with me and started to scare me like he was going to come to my house and have his way with me…

Sup guys. I'm sorry about the problems with my out-dated guides. I'm studying for finals, but soon all of them will be updated. And I've already planned what is going to get updated! Expect this changes to come gradually, and not all in the same time.




--Fenrir--
-The puppy is going to get new items on the build. Hydra's Demise/ Hydra's Lament being one of them. Frostbound Hammer is getting scrapped, due to the bad stats in the current meta.
-The guide will cover mostly the Jungle Fenrir in Conquest, but with mini-tutorials to Arena, Domination and even Assault.
-I Reliazed the guide is not so ''formal''. I plan to make it more serious, but not boring to read.
-SoloRir maybe? Who knows.




--Sobek--
-King K. Rool is getting new actives, the ''mandatory'' ones for tanks in the current meta.
-New Partners coming when it comes to laning with.
-No big changes, really. This guide is second the most up-to-date guide made by me.




--Anubis--
-Goobis will get a …

Hello everyone, I've been trying to download SMITE for a couple of days, installing and re-installing but the download stuck at 0.5%! I'm trying any way I could find but anything works. How can I fix that problem and finally play this game??!! Any idea would be great! Thanks in advance.

I finally finished my Nu Wa guide! And it's halfway decent! And uses an untraditional format! You have no idea how hard it was to not type this in allcaps!

Firstly, thank TormentedTurnip for giving me this idea. There are a ****ton of underappreciated guides on this site. And to put it bluntly, many of them are far better than the so-called top guide.

That is the purpose of my* future series of blog posts, Guide Scouts; Where I find these hidden gems and show them to the community. Today's guide is Zeus: Overpower, an excellent guide by Gaarthar.

While the guide is somewhat threadbare, what is there (mainly the item and gameplay) is pretty good. It has adequate BBC coding, and frankly, is a lot easier to read than current the top Zeus guide.

The main feature of this guide is the aggressive playstyle it advocates, which is unique from the top three most viewed Zeus guides. The main focus is not hanging back and being defensive, but to go into the enemy's face and use Zeus' dueling skills to their fullest potential.

I recommend you all go take a look, and give it some love.

*Hell, not mine. Why can't you (yeah, you) do it too?

Ok so there's a lot of controversy and argument over new guides, so I figured I'd weigh in.

I'm tired of new, horrible guides flooding the website with no quality whatsoever. I also think people should be allowed to make a guide, no matter how horrible it is, because it's a guide website that allows anyone and everyone to contribute.

I'm not going to make this one a rant, even though I very well could. I'll simply provide three points:
1) Don't be a toxic player to people with bad guides. They're trying, they're failing, but they're contributing. New guide makers for brand new gods should not be treated any differently from others. Offer Advice and criticism, not hate.
2) Try to make sure your first day guide is at least a quality guide. It doesn't have to be the best, but actively try. A general rule of thumb: if it took you (literally) less than 10 minutes, work on it more.
3) If you want advice, ask someone! People on this website, especially editors and veterans, have actually no…

Anhur's section in the Insane Jungle Guide is complete. Finally. Honestly, I wish someone would actually try one of the listed gods and give feedback.

My Sun Wukong guide has been updated with the addition of a ganking and roaming/rotating section, though the latter isn't pretty.

---

Now for the rant.

Okay, I think I can say with a certain amount of confidence that my guides are pretty good. But I really question sometimes, what constitutes an upvote and what makes a downvote.

An unfortunate truth is that some of us have already formed our opinion of a guide by looking at the opinions of others. That is why 'fads' and 'trends' exist, since people like following a leader.

Another truth is that there are some hidden gems that are locked away because people would rather look at the guide with 10 votes and 5 bars rather than the guide with 3 votes and 4. Then that 'top' guide eventually swells to popularity, despite being lower in quality than the guide below it.

I'll be honest here. …

I'm not here to complain about guides being posted in the first week, and everyone complaining how no one understands them. I'll give credit to those who at least try to understand the new gods and listen to other ideas of improving. Lets be honest some gods are really simple to understand their play style and understating their abilities. First of all, I'm not asking for a super advanced, Ultra-Pro information full of everything I need to know. Yes, it would be appreciated to have a guide such as that, but can I please ask all guide makers to update your guide each and every patch and finish you guides before you post them on SmiteFire. You make your guide look horrible when you don't take the time to finish your guide. I definitely don't want to see a "W.I.P" especially when a new god has arrived. Its obvious you have no clue to talk about and yet you still have an attitude saying I'll improve my guide over time, it's UNACCEPTABLE (In British Nanny Voice)!!! Just finish your guide th…
