    • @SkepticRyo
      @SkepticRyo 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Prolly the best advice imo.
      Many times my friend finds some gods frustrating simply because he only plays 4 gods.trying many gods opens your horizons on how the game is played, and that gives you an advantage when you know how every role and god is played.simply knowing every role mindset in conquest helps you win more.

    Despite using it often, I still think Jungle Practice mode is too hidden in the menus.
    It should honestly have its own shiny button on the main menu that everyone can see as soon as they log in.
    It would also be great if you could change god in the mode without having to back out to main menu (even if it has to give you a loading screen to change).

    a MAJOR point that was missed here:
    BUY WARDS.
    this goes hand in hand with the "look at your minimap" point, but buying wards is absolutely essential to all levels of play. placing a ward gives you so much information, its practically the best item in the game, and its also subsequently the cheapest. buy wards, and then look at your map.

  • @Loj84
    @Loj84 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    7:50 This may be getting a bit too advanced for the target audience of this video, but in a lot of situations, it is better to target the enemy solo laner over their minions. When you attack the enemy god, their minions start attacking you, which means they aren't attacking your minions. It's possible to outclear just by targeting the god and taking minion aggro in solo. You get pressure off of that as well as off of the damage you do to the enemy solo, and most warriors can tank minions throughout the game.
    It does take some practice in solo to figure out when to target minions versus the god, so it's not an absolute beginner topic. But I think it's one of the most important things to learn to be a good solo laner, and one of the biggest mistakes I see in other solo laners. It takes practice, but you have to figure out which gods should focus minions, which should focus the enemy god, and at what point in the game to do either one.
    Some people will focus minions way too hard early game, and I'll get massive pressure and early kills because they refuse to fight. Others will be chasing me down trying to attack me while I proxy in midgame. Midgame fighting in solo is like slapping each other with wet noodles. They waste 30 seconds attacking me while I kill a wave behind their tower, I heal up the damage immediately, and then I go to mid and we kill their team because the other guy still has to clear the wave.

    • @silverfang4583
      @silverfang4583 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think the main reason it isn't good to tell newbs is that it is normally incorrect to do early because minions just burst everyone early so it might get them to do it early

    • @DukeSloth
      @DukeSloth  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You're right, that is an important strat. But yes, I do think it's too complex for beginners. I think it's something they'll learn when practicing individual solo gods and maybe watching guides for them specifically.

Then I started playing other modes for the win of the day bonus favor. I fell in love with siege , hated clash but now I really enjoy clash . Assault is always fun whether I win or lose and I just started liking Joust. Definitely hard for me I’m trying to find a role I can do well. I’m mainly a support in other modes besides arena.

    For me one of the most noticeable changes I made as I gained experience was learning to not be as conservative with my ult. When I first started I was super reluctant to even use my ult unless it would be hitting multiple people. Obviously that’s the best case but learning that not every ult I use needed to do that was a very impactful change. Maybe not the biggest but certainly the one I noticed the most.

      Honestly I am teaching someone and I found that them playing carry and you playing support helps a lot you can get them to learn the “meta” of starting in lanes and stuff a lot easier and kind of start to explain the other roles and let them know what’s going to happen in those lanes/roles where like mid you should expect to get ganked on a lot same with carry but solo you can be a little bit less cautious of ganks also jungle is very active and more or less very map aware and supp being a lot more cautious and aware to what you can do to open up team fights or save teammates ya know start from the roots and basic stuff and don’t push items too much just teach them one thing at a time if you try to teach too much it’ll be way to overwhelming just kinda guide them on their builds and tell them the best ways to start and what to do to counter build

    Hey Duke. I love your channel. I Thank you for this content because your guides have helped me many times to get a better understanding of the game. When you mentioned about exploring other games modes , I tend to enjoy Arena, however it doesn't seem like many people are a fan of it. Is Arena not a great mode to play? I also play Joust, and I used to play Conquest, though I'm still relatively a beginner in that mode. What are your thoughts on this, and I look forward to seeing that new Conquest video so that I can get back into it.

    I'm especially guilty with the first one :D
    When I first started out, I only choose Mage-type gods, and whenever I get some cash, I would always buy another Mage class... however, I realised that focusing on one role isn't that much great. In fact, it's probably bad. And that's how I was able to, well, branch out to different classes. If I didn't have that kind of realisation, I would have never found out that I can use Cerberus or Pele with ease. Or that I would be wondering why the hell Chaac can spam his skills whenever.

  • @siimtokke3461
    @siimtokke3461 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The mistake that players don't test gods in jung practice is very good. I remember when Heim was released, I read the kit and it said that crits do only 70% of damage. Then went to jung practice and tried it out and discovered that Heim autos did 800-1000 crit, immediately loaded amc, did exactly the same build and amc did 600 crit. Then week or two later one player in my team called me an idiot for building crit on Heim. I told him go and see for himself how much dam Heim can do with crits. I used to play all game modes, every day I had a goal to get the first win of the day. That lasted for 2 years, then I dropped arena and clash (didn't get too into that in the first place). Next 2-3 years I played conquest, joust and siege in a loop. And now I mostly play conquest and sometimes joust and siege.

    I've noticed a lot of content for beginners in smite, but when it comes to intermediate and advanced players you kinda have to self find chomps of information here and there and the higher you go, the less concise and the more debatable stuff you find out, i don't want to blame anyone but that's something top players and even hirez itself should work on better, i almost think like most stuff is being somewhat purposely keept unclear, for either intentional inaccessibility measures for the average player or to keep coaching and similar activities more montetizable.
    Either that or the top boys consider that the community doesn't really want/deserve to know how things should work at a higher level, because the competitive scene is too small.
    While actually, promoting and stabilizing something that would actually help having people attracted to the competitive scene itself, as well as decreasing general toxicity by promoting self awareness based on higher community standards and norms, it would just make things so much better.

Lots of new players just run to random lanes which is understandable since the game tutorial doesn’t help at all. I told her not to worry about it for now but I know it’s confusing for her and lots of players I’m sure.

      No, the level of your account doesn’t add stats or anything to playable gods. It is simply a ranking system used to gain access to Ranked mode and gain access to rewards. Think about it as an incentive to continue playing.
      I’ve been playing Smite for over 5 years, and I can say that as someone who’s been in this community for a while, you sometimes have games that you don’t win. Then you’ll have games that you do win, and as mundane as this sounds it’s the effort and attention you put into the game. I’ve played games where we lost but it was still a good game and I was proud of the way I played. Learning what stats are, and understanding the way that a god’s kit works is very beneficial. Learning to build items is really important. I hope this helps and I hope you win a few!
