Im in too much stress because i have 2 important tests today to name all the gods i think are badly balenced but i can give you prove of hirez badly balencing their game.

Look at all the OP releases they have had to hot fix over the distant and not so distant past.

Guan yu, fenrir and nemesis to just mention 3 and some of those the just left running wild for a long as time, makes you wander if hirez does damage checks to see what each god was capable of.

And then proof number 2 is how they nerf some gods BY POWERCREEP! Thor anyone? They nerfed him a little so his spintowin could he stopped easier but he is still as strong as he ever was.
Sobek? I don't think they nerfed that flipping croc at all but he fell put as well.
Has anyone seen ahnur lately? With the bee and the mix mash of kits that is ulyr around he has been scared to play.
never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.

I get most of your points Sub, but I disagree with you saying there's no counter builds in Smite. You can probably say confidently there's more items in League;more counter builds. However even with limited items there's tons of possibilities you can do with them that most people don't think of.
Name them. Name the possibilities on anyone except bruisers.

What gamemodes are you comparing? The "main" ones? Conquest? But Smite has ranked Joust 1v1's wut? How can you compare a gamemode literally all about counterbuilding/picks be compared to league. Sure, League has 1v1 but does League have Arena? Or Siege?
Of course I'm talking about Conquest. That's the single mode common to EVERY MOBA.

Also, your sentences are awfully structured. I don't know what you're talking about, literally. WHAT mode is all about counterbuilding? (Also, you still haven't given any examples.)

And why the **** are you mentioning Joust? Or 1v1s? What did you think I was talking about? And how the **** does Smite having 1v1s have anything to do with Smite being worse than League?

But if you want to go that way: Smite destroys and ruins game modes. Aka Domination and unranked Joust 1v1. No ranked Joust 3v3, either. Removed Ranked Arena, too.

League: Team Ranked Summoner's Rift, soloQ ranked Summoner's Rift, ranked 3v3 Twisted Treeline, ARAM, Ascension, Team Builder Summoner's Rift, Blind Pick Summoner's Rift, Draft Pick Summoner's Rift, Dominion...and not a single feature was removed.

OMG Smite has Joust 1v1 Ranked. Well, LoL has Twisted Treeline ranked AND unranked AND didn't remove it from the ranked playlists or remove Dominion, AND they have Ascension.

Anyways, Riot has had 3 years after launch to perfect everything. Smite has been out of beta for only around half a year? And don't hmu with that ******** excuse oh HotS or some other game has it down perfect. They don't. Not to mention Smite is a completely different game type. Sure, it's in the same genre and similar gamemodes of gaming but you cannot compare the backgrounds these other companies are coming from. Um...Blizzard? I really reckon Gigantic will not be perfect if any of you have tried it yet.
Dawngate has their **** together with less time and money than HiRez. Oh, and they don't try to take your money, either.

And Dawngate is about as different from League as Smite is, if not more. Let's not forget how a lot of things were copypasta'd from League, like Magi's Blessing, Hide of the Nemean Lion, and some other ****. If you're an Alpha/Closed Beta tester, you'd get what I'm talking about. It literally started off as a clone of League, only with four jungles and simpler itemization.

Greenevers i'd like to mention 2 things.

Gigantic is being made by a head developer of starcraft... You know that game that got so balenced it became chess.

Smite still uses similar mechanics as all moba's do, im sick of the excuse that smite is so different because its in 3rd person you shouldn't compare it. Its a bad excuse.
never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.

I know I said I'd stay out of it, but I can't help but point out.

Considering MOBA gameplay is a lot about environmental awareness, it's not like being in 3rd person is only a cosmetic difference. It entirely shifts the way you have to think and play the game.

Just a thought.

not enough to make it an excuse. you may have to look behind you but wards still work the same and with the ward pings its even easier to know where some one is.

the danger from behind is not limited to just smite because other moba's make up with that by brushes. especially dawngate which has a side jungle to the lanes with on the exit from that jungle to lane creates that.

it shifts gameplay yeah but not 100%, you wont play other moba's that different since the main goal is the same and you are also thinking similar in doing a few quick looks at numbers befor ingaging to make sure you have enough to kill some one.

It may not shift gameplay 100%, but I think for a lot of players, the third person is what separates Smite from the rest of the other MOBAS.

It may not be a big deal to you specifically, but apparently it's important to the people who play Smite.

that is not what im saying, im saying that there is this incredibly common misconception that you can't compare any moba to smite because of just the view difference.

a large part of the appeal of smite is that is in 3d person, i mean just tell me how many of you are playing smite because you dont like the top down perspective most other moba's have? heck thats the way i started and probebly most of us started.


my point is that a change of perspective doesn't mean you can just disregard the similarties.

also here is some food for thought. smite is a game caterd towards the casual group :3

thats what the whole 3d person view accomplishes. i dont think hirez them selfes knew this considering how much they have changed the game just to make it look a little more dark and grittier in the sence of maps and looks to cater towards "hard core" gamers.

note casual is a bad thing, a casual game doesnt mean it is for babies or "not real gamers" or that can't have a competitive side. a casual game means something everybody could get into. now let me ask you that question again, why did all of you start playing smite and not any other moba?

if i would awnser that question when is started then i would have said: "because i like the 3rd person view of it as its something im used to coming from mostly consoles and never having a gaming pc untill now." it felt like something i could get into easier.
