I started playing Ranked Conquest in this Fall Split with a friend of mine, and I thought it would be nice to write here our results, even briefly.

Let's face it, all of us have room for improvement when it comes to playing video games and SMITE in particular. From living the LeBronze life, fighting for elo, to players who are one step away from the SPL and even professional SMITE players, we all do mistakes.
Sometimes it is even little changes in your approach how you play the game (tactics) or little adjustments on the mechanics that will boost your performance and ensure the victory.
Even though the following might be perceived as fundamental basics of gameplay they are still not applied by everyone all the time. So let's jump right into it and talk about how to improve.

The importance of your passive (e.g. Nu Wa, Chaac, Ares)

The god's passive is often overlooked and not used at all or not used to its full potential. Therefore it is important to read, understand and use the passives. For example if you play Nu Wa you definitely want to take advantage of her passive strenght of wood. This means you need to be aware of the m…

Hello smitefire community.

Lately I have seen in several blogs that more and more users begin to have their respective experience in the rankeds (specifically in conquest).
Well, I already played enough Ranked Conquest, but this week I started playing Duels (I did not do it because I am disgusted that people only play with OP picks) and I have been doing quite well in my first 5 games: I am going 5-0 in the qualifiers with my dear Vulcan and I hope to achieve a 10-0.
In any case, what do you think about the Duels? Do you have a favorite pick? What rank are you currently in? If you do not play them, why do not you?

As for the most OP picks in Duel, I consider them to be:
- He Bo
- Kali
- Bakasura
- Loki
- Skadi
- Ah Muzen Cab

Anyone to escape me? They are the ones that normally ban me and my rivals, just as it can serve someone who is just starting in this game mode (like me). Still, I have always believed that here the builds win the games (obviously the skills help a lot lol…

Positioning (by class/role)

Positioning is a key element in Smite. While some classes can get away with bad positioning from time to time, others will get punished for it immediately. It is important to understand your role in every matchup and adjust yourself accordingly. If you are a warrior and idle behind your mage or hunter you are doing it wrong. As a w…

Uhm. I wanted to try create a blog :D

especially to say that I think I have to take a break from the site. Already these days I could not (or should not) be very active or continue with the development of my guide, because I had to study for my math exam (done today and went decent) but tomorrow morning I will go on holiday for a week, and I don't think to look at the site, so... it could be a goodbye for these 8 days guys.

Also I think Artio is my favorite God in this period, i like her a lot, so i really hope they don't nerf her CC again in 4.17 :(
Also a guy wrote me congratulating with me for having her at mastery X lol

And when I get back from vacation I think I will start playing ranked conquest with a friend of mine, as many of you guys are doing during this time :D

Link to the game stats is here.

Welp. I played my very first Ranked Conquest game ever. Honestly could have gone a lot worse, but boy did I feel a lot more pressure than normal. Didn't play very well, but I sort of expected that.

Only one other was actively talking/using the new in-game voice chat. And he was complaining (not unjustified I'm sure) a lot. He was our best player ( Ao Kuang), and without him, we definitely would have lost. Other than 2 others that were also playing qualifying matches, the spread of players consisted mostly of Silver division.

Keep in mind, the entire ranked experience was new to me, with the banning and all.

Here was how it went:

So almost everyone here know that my activity would decline over the next year due to college prepping and school, but I want to still do things on this site. So I thought of something that I'll do if I have the time to kill. So i thought about to review and talk about your guides. I like to do this, but I don't do enough of it. So if any of you guys want myself to review and talk about your guide just leave a comment here or PM me if you want me to review it. So I hope I still make a difference with this blog, so go ahead send me a link to your guide and I'll talk about it.

So just for fun I wanted to try and make a blog updating my progression in ranked. Pretty much just breaking down the games I play. Thinking that the bast way will be to just use spoiler so hide the previous days or something. We will see how it goes. And everyone who is interested in following can just subscribe to it (no idea how that works), but don't want to spam the sight with a new blog every day I play ranked.

So lets get right to it:

So I havent been on SF in a long time now, just got back from a 2 week vacation at my parents etc. last Sunday.

Yesterday I finished all my qualifiers for ranked. Went 6/4 this split (9/1 last split) and last split I had to play all the way from Silver 2 and up to gold 1 in the end with a 62% win rate.

And guess what?! Im back in Silver 2 PogChamp!!!!
I am soon to be promoted though and hopefully I will be able to skip a few ranks this time.


I also made a new friend along the way:
I 1v1 this guy as ADC, I was 1 hit and he was 3 hits I juked his AAs and killed him (EzPz ofc., didn't even break a sweat even. JK my ADC is ****ing terrible). So he started to PM me in game and after the game (that we lost), while in DND so I could not reply back (HiRez fix this plz). My team didn't manage to counter a 4 physical comp (I even went Ichaival...).
So I queued again. This time I got jungle and got to play some NeZha PogChamp.
Camazotz is my new friend btw (he has his profile hidden ofc.).
