Right now, I suggest NOT even buying any Kuzenbo skins. I'm not even going to make an effort to buy him skins until he gets one that reflects what he needs.

That's maybe an overreaction, Depending on who you ask, But to me, Sex appeal is 100% a trait Kuzenbo needs to have in his skins. the only god who needs it 100% in his skins is Bacchus (oh, sure, and Kumbhakarna, happy r/smite?). but for Bacchus, he gets an arguably SEXIER skin each season... yes, it loses a bit of his beautiful default voice that is taken away, but they get a BETTER voice and it went up in sex appeal, and so... yay for Bacchus?

but see, Bacchus has very nice things going for his sex appeal, besides his sexy voice, he has:

A Fatter belly. Kuzenbo might have abs but that does not compare

A GLORIOUS belly flop, which Bacchus can use to majestically wack his enemies afterwards, all Kuzenbo has is his push.

An ult that IMMEDIATELY makes it easier for him to pick up girls by getting them drunk without con…

Right now, I just straight up do NOT suggest even touching Freya. I'm not even going to make an effort to play her until she's fixed.

That's maybe an overreaction, depending on who you ask, but to me, Fatalis was a 100% core item on her. The only other god where it is 100% core is Kali (oh and sure, Bakasura too, happy Bernardo?). But for Kali, she got an arguably BETTER version of Fatalis in Hastened Katana...yes, it loses a bit of early function from its 10 pen that was taken away, but it added 25 physical power, went back DOWN in price, and so...yay for Kali?

But see, Kali has some really nice things going for her. Besides sticking to enemies with the new Hastened Katana, she has:

• A leap / escape...she can jump over walls or use it to catch up to fleeing enemies. Freya does not have a movement ability.
  
  
• A stun, after which Kali can continue slashing away. Freya can interrupt with Banish, a smaller AOE but at distance, BUT she can't damage them while they're hanging up

Ok so look, I'm new to the 'gaming world'. I don't know any 'gamer' terms like "glass cannon", "tank" and etc...everytime someone said something like that I just think "what the hell are they talking about".It But anyways, the only reason I downloaded Smite (earlier this year, I know I'm late to the game) is because a friend recommended it, so I downloaded Smite to satisfy them. I realized I actually liked Smite but the thing was I was and still am completely *** at it. I was *** at Paragon when I first started, which was earlier this year, but now I'm doing very good on it. People always tell me that they think Paragon is harder than Smite, but to me Smite is harder than Paragon. Anyways getting back on topic, I just want someone to explain like all the characters, their weaknesses, their strengths, and etc... Most of all I need help BUILDING A DECK FOR THEM. I know some games the items can be completely useless, but I just need to know what items are good against who when I'm playing…

I think I've basically hit it. You know it. The point where you feel your skill has hit its peak and you don't see any noticeable improvement. It's pretty frustrating.

Here's my main Guru stat page on PS4.

(IF you're interested) Check out game details of recent matches.

If you delve into the numbers, the general theme is that, with this last set of games last night, I've been basically carried by GameGeekFan and bad_juju40 (newbiemj here on SF). Even when I'm an offensive god that is supposed to carry, it's just not happening that much.

Excuse or not in some cases, I know some of my biggest issues:

• I will never be that good with PS4 controls. I still struggle with instinct with regard to the buttons (shoulder buttons are absolutely not the natural controls I'm familir with on my keypad), and my aim is often trash.
  
  
• I get tired of playing the same gods over and over...so I play gods that I'm okay with on PC, but it's not the same. No way in Hel I can combo stance switch with her

So I have decided these are the gods I want to get good at. Got my first Diamond with Cupid but want to move onto having few more gods. I will only be playing ranked Joust as conquest does not interest me.

Next few gods will be learning to play:
Ah Muzen Cab
Ares
Ahrodite
Scylla
Ra
Possibly Bastet but unsure yet
Geb
Hercules
Isis
Medusa
Possibly Nox


Any tips, builds for any of these gods are welcome ^_^

Yes, this is what it's come to...


Also, side note, some other "fun" things we're not doing again:

• Technotoad and full movement speed.
• Taco and "LET'S ALL START MYSTICAL MAIL!".

And one that's always fun:

• Dunk Squad (or Dive comp or whatever). AKA everyone has to have an ult that crashes down from up high in some way. Other gods that work: Thor, Ao Kuang (sorta), Apollo, Ne Zha, Sun Wukong (sorta). And NO, Tech, Nu Wa doesn't count. She floats down. You messed it up!!!

So after I watched Branmuffin17's gameplay video he posted in his blog, I got interested in trying something like that myself. So I fired up good old OBS, but the recordings where laggy as **** and couldnt even edit them. So I asked Bran what he used, so now I have had time to do my first test with GeForce. I have not done any settings changes etc yet (didn't even see where the mute mic button was, so my web cam mic was recording). So it is not as fancy, maybe you can let me know what settings etc. you are using Bran?

This is just a recording of a game I had on record ingame, so thought I'd start with that (just to see how it works). And try and get some "live" gameplay tomorrow maybe, unless it makes me lag. Anyways enjoy this short video :)

Play Video

I was thinking about maybe going through some more of the matches that where recorded ingame and see if I can find more random/funny moments. If that is something anyone would be interested in seeing?

Also just let me …

Well, the old gang was able to get back together for a night. The old gang was rusty.

GGF and Taco have played regularly. However, Zilby and Prism haven't played much over the past couple of months. I've been splitting my time with a variety of other games, and have only played 10 PC matches over the past 2 weeks, none of them being Conquest. Excuses, though.

This was a fun game. Our lineup was:

• GGF: Ganesha Support
• Me: Medusa ADC
• Zilby: Scylla Mid
• Prism: Athena Jungle
• Taco: Sun Wukong Solo

We were against Loki, Athena, Hades, Geb, and Rama.

Initial thought was to sort of talk about gameplay, builds and whatnot, but with a full group of 5, we got sidetracked. Oops. I've now added comments here about thoughts on all builds.
