Copying vs Following, and other MOBA vs Smite Comparisons

You know dac, you could just not think of us as blind haters, it would help you so ypu don't make such flawed statements because it starts looking like ypu don't read other people's comments which makes you look close minded, it makes it seem like you read "aedar" and immidiatly your mind go "HE MUST BE HATING SMITE!", when he is not.

Perhaps it isn't spoonfeeding. Perhaps its how this game doesn't have much depth to go into. You can't say that any god is realistically difficult to learn how to play. All skillshots in this game aren't realistically that difficult, either.

I mean, yeah, I get that some people like intuitive things, but what's the harm in including some depth? Adding depth to god reveals can only be a good thing; it certainly isn't a BAD thing. League's god reveals go in-depth enough, but if you aren't convinced that there isn't more to it, and that there isn't room to learn intuitively, see this play. (If you're wondering, this is a play slowed down to 33% normal speed.)


Reghar's slow is a DECAYING slow. 80% slow decaying over 2.5 seconds is essentially the same as a 32% slow for 2.5 seconds. It is by no means overpowered in Smite or League, ESPECIALLY compared to-

Scylla's AoE 2.25 sec root/cripple.
Ullr's 1.4 second stun
Anubis' 2 second stun
Freya's 2 second suppress
Nemesis's 40% 2 sec slow
Fenrir's 1 sec stun
Mercury's Special Delivery

I can go on. But anyone who's played both games will universally agree that CC in League is weaker as a whole than Smite, in both general and specific examples. (Oh, and Reghar's is a single-target skillshot, that is WAY harder to hit than every single example above. The projectile speed is sluggish compared to Smite's. Watch the video on the wiki to see. Meanwhile, in Smite, things hit super fast/go through minions/hit in a huge AoE.)

The difference between a decaying slow and a nondecaying one is the same difference between a root and a slow. The difference is enormous.

And I can disprove your statement with another example: Karthus ult. Nu Wa ult. Functionally identical, the only difference is slapping on CC immunity onto Nu Wa's. They are only different in a way that Smite added on. If they removed the CC immunity, it would be a carbon-clone skill.

Seriously. Functionally identical. Used to secure kills from global range and pretty much nothing else. They certainly are not different.

I'm also asking anyone who comments on this thread to refrain from throwing **** at each other as many of the members here have been lately.

that still doesn't explain why you actually snipped at him when he was saying something GOOD about smite is my point.

you know that aedar has always effectivly been doing how sub is doing it now. he is even the person who got sub do to it this way...

i also have stopped playing smite, i have sticked around to critisize the heck out of smite as well (and a handfull of other threads that have nothing to do with smite). how would i be any different from aedar? yet i dont see you snipping at me all the time.

aedar is just asmuch critisizing smite as me or sub, if you want to go over to moba fire and critisize league on what it's not doing right people probebly won't bash you or heck maybe they will agree with you (if janitsu or ninja trigger could confirm or deny this that be great).

I'm not trying to be obnoxious and pardon me if I am, but it didn't take long TT.

There's no **** being thrown anywhere, Genocide. We may be going off topic, but there's no throwing ****, okay? Read the posts: No insults anywhere.
