I guess it's one of those things that I've asked a lot of people but I might as well ask a massive community about it. It's simple really: What do you miss most from Smite?
Whether it's a old god kit or a specific item maybe to something so simple like seeing Mercury or Ra in pure gold. Then post it here and share ya thoughts.
For me the list is rather simple:
1. Odin's really old passive where he had more vision in fog of war.
2. The Fog of War (Like come on...Surely we could add that back guys.)
3. The side jungles on Duo and Solo lane (Added a bit more mystery.)
4. Loki's old Slitherrr skin (The bright green looked great until the re-worked it.)
5. Attack speed buff.
6. Golden Bow (Only on mercury though, Hunters can go do one.)
Anything you guys wanna add? Or have particular thoughts of your own? Make sure to post them down below and maybe we can have a good ol' happy conversation about it.
The lassiz era of smite. Back when the map was larger and the jungle didnt feel like a garden. Back when there was less focus on esports, meaning everybody played the game for fun instead of trying to be tryhard adapting every casual game. Back when there were fewer gods in the game, meaning less ******** you had to worry about and counter play. Just pick up the game and have fun. This past season gave us golden bow, relics, rework rat, release susano, release fafnir, erlang shen, release raijin, jing wei meta, paywall chests, ****ty voicepacks with cringe lines.
Theres just overall less passion in smite since most of the developers are working on paladins, rivals, tactics, insert other bullchit nobody plays here. I can understand why lassiz, wolfy, korea10, and many others left smite. Im losing passion for it myself.
I miss when I was new to the game and didn't know what to do. I had the most fun running around dying and not caring at all. Now in the higher lvl of gameplay you get all these salty teammates and you're always expected to keep up with some dumb meta that changes every week, but that's how mobas are(or all video games in general).
Like ricu, I think I can also reminisce a bit about earlier SMITE. I can't speak on the higher levels of competition back then, but I've always had fun with this game, no matter the season.
The thing that is nice about the past is the simplicity, overall. I understand the need for Hi-Rez to make money, thus seeing them continuing to make new gods, new skins, etc. As a player, if I'm being rational, I need to understand that, because the game is largely fully playable without spending anything.
But in many ways, my favorite gods are mostly the older ones. I'm hardly ever excited to try the new gods, and it takes some time for me to venture into playing them myself. I also don't have any attachment or see much specific use out of many of the newer items. Stone of Fal? Emperor's Armor? Masamune? *yawn*
I sort of miss the old Chronos' Pendant. I miss the old Witchblade. I miss the old Hastened Fatalis when everyone didn't consider it stupidly OP (even though it honestly isn't all that different, for god's sake...-10% attack speed, +10 flat pen, not much of anything late game). I miss my preferred gods being average/lower tier, so that people didn't complain about their use, and I could just play them because I like them.
I also miss playing more often with my friends...it's not often that we can get a 5 man anymore...Zilb, GGF, Taco, Jaberg/TopDogs, Ducks, Bullfrog, Prism...the old crew (for me).
But in the end...I'm okay with where the game is right now. It's a game, I'm open enough that I can have fun no matter what. It's cool that changes in the game mean you need to adapt some. I'm not complaining.
Release Nox is what I miss most, I thought her kit was super fun, everyone thought she was underpowered but I always wrecked with her. It was because of her that I made my first guide. New nox is just.... blegh
Odin's old passive didn't fit him too much, I would like it if they used an improved version of it on someone like Heimdall as he's know for having great foreknowledge, sight, and hearing.
