Last night, I played one of my toughest Clash matches to my recollection. It lasted 52 minutes!!!! We were facing 5 Diamond gods and they were a party of 3 and a party of 2. We were all solo queue and I was the only Diamond with Skadion my team.
Match stats are here if you care.

We somehow managed to pull out the win. I died way to many times, but had solid damage and did a bunch of tower damage. I changed my build several times because of all the CC the enemy team had. I got chained so many times that it became increasingly frustrating and we almost surrendered numerous times. My original build was my normal. Transcendence Warrior Tabi Asi Qin's Sais Titan's Bane then Magi's blessing. I usually wouldn't get Magi and would get Shifter's Shield or The Crusherinstead but I was getting CC'ed to much that I couldn't keep up with Purification always on Cooldown it seemed. So I decided to mix and match.

Late game, I felt like I still wasn't doing much because I could not do any dama…

Is it just me or does Double Worshipers get under anyone else's skin? Don't get me wrong, it's a cool concept to help people rank up their Gods faster, but it seriously F%$#s up my God Stats!

Generally, I've never been the guy to care about my stats in any game, but for some reason, I care a lot about them in Smite. I know you can shut God Stats off on your Loading Screen, but that's the glory of having good stats, is to have people fear you on the loading screen alone, right? Nothing is worse than seeing an Ah Puch with 3k kills.

I tend track my progress with by setting quotas for myself, such as, 100 Kills per rank, with the hopes that at Rank X I will have 1k kills. Which is going fairly well with my Ne Zha project right now...587 kills, 593 assist w/ a 2.28 KD at Rank VI, but, no...you have players like Johnny F%$&#*& Appleseed who pop into your game, instalock Loki, and activate a Worshiper Boost after you lock-in! Not to mention, I feel like HiRez makes every weekend Double …

Just wanted to bring this up because I've never seen Hi-Rez take a skin down before:

So I guess my ranked adventures has come to an end for this split.
It has actually been fun to play a bit serious for once.
Compared to last season where I only played ranked when I was to drunk or lit for any of my friends to be willing to play casuals with me anymore:
I managed to climb my way out of silver 2 and up to gold 1, wanted to try and get to plat. But it is to late for me now (almost 5am) and I got work tomorrow.

So hopefully I won't get placed in silver 2 this split, and maybe I will manage to go 10/0 this time?
I guess I am happy with my split, but it can always be better of course. So I am looking forward to hopefully get some better games going in the next split.

Think I have some games recorded that I will have a look at and maybe upload in the future.

So yeah, good luck in the fall split everyone!

It's been forever and I still haven't updated my Zhong Kui guide. Meanwhile, I'm being hypocritical and complaining about "un-updated" guides.

Back on the 9 win streak again. I'm afraid to queue my tenth game tomorrow lol

But it feels good to notice a increase in the overall level of gameknowledge of teams even though I'm still all the way down in gold!

Maybe I will be able to rush trough gold 2 on a single win streak?
One can hope at least.
Anyone else had to struggle their way out of silver this season?

Right now, I just straight up do NOT suggest even logging on to SmiteFire. I'm not even going make an effort to be productive until it's fixed.

That's maybe an overreaction, depending on who you ask, but to me, actual Smite-related content was a 100% core feature on here. The only other place where it is 100% core is the rarely seen "productive SmiteFire" (oh and sure, SmiteGuru too, happy DukeSloth?). But for productive SmiteFire (which I'm going to abbreviate as p!SF), it got an arguably BETTER version of existing in disappearing whenever it's replaced by its counterpart (memeing SmiteFire, which I'm going to abbreviate as m!SF)...yes, it loses a bit of reliability from its solid guides that become neglected, but it added DANK MEMES, went back DOWN in reputation, and so...yay for m!SF?

But see, m!SF has some really nice things going for it. Besides sticking to your waking mind with the new meme, it has:

• Active veterans... Devampi did not say a word to us from October 20, 2016 to M

Right now, I just straight up do NOT suggest even talking to Manbuffn. I'm not even going to make an effort to talk to him until he stops.

That's maybe an overreaction, depending on who you ask, but to me, he was a 100% core guy on the site. The only other guy that is 100% core is sunny108108 (oh and sure, Kuzenbo too, happy Bucks?). But for sunny, he got an arguably BETTER version of guide-reviewing... yes, it loses a bit of the essay effect from its activeness in the site that was taken away, but he added 7 guides, a LOT of nice comments, and so... yay for sunny?

But see, sunny has some really nice things going for him. Besides being the nicest guy of the entire site, he has:

• A skin in the game after him. Bran does not have that.
• A kuzen guild, after which we can continue watching his nene. Bran may have a Bacchus, worst - copied - guide but with more views, BUT we can't watch HIS nene...
• A comment that makes anyone IMMEDIATELY happy for the duration (up to 5 weeks). Bran's comme

Right now, I suggest NOT even buying any healer skins. I'm not even going to make an effort to buy them skins until they get the rework that reflects what they need.

That's maybe an overreaction, Depending on who you ask, But to me, being immune to anti-heal is 100% a trait healers need to survive the current state of the game. the only god who needs it 100% in his kit is Aphrodite (oh, sure, and Hel, happy r/smite?). but for Aphrodite, she gets an arguably INCREDIBLE buff each season... yes, it loses a bit of her origins that is taken away, but she get a BETTER kit and it went up in sex appeal on skins, and so... yay for Aphrodite?

But see, Aphrodite has very nice things going for her kit, besides her sexy skins, she has:
A unique link. Healers might have heals but that does not compare

A GLORIOUS healing animation, which Aphrodite can use to majestically wack her enemies afterwards, with her doves, while all that healers have are crazy dance moves.

An ult that IMMEDIATELY m…
