The matchmaking in causals has been wild. I'll go on a 5 game losing streak then a 10 game winning streak then back to a 5 game losing streak and almost all the matches were determined by the losing team getting 2+ players going 0-10 each. Hope this helps when it comes to casuals
Last game I had what I can only assume we're brothers as their names were "insertusername1988 and insertusername2001" (changed them for privacy reasons) and they went 2-15 each and both went solo lane and sat there all game, pain
Holy bananas Batman!!! How long have I been screaming to separate lobbies by account level & they’re actually doing it?!?! I’m floored. I feel heard & appreciated. 😅
More importantly, we will finally be able to laugh spam again thanks to my question, yes I was the one that asked them to remove the flood protection on vel, vet, and vej. You're welcome.
Role preference has been really solid. I’m a gold/plat player (good at mechanics bad at mobas) and I’ve noticed some of my games players are really missing some of the moba basics. Doing the wrong farm, ignoring camps, only fighting, not prioritizing objectives, dying late game for really silly reasons. I wish they’d find a way to integrate tool tips or a text based guide that just explains the roles and phases a bit more.
I played my usual weekly game, picked herc for the first time on smite 2 and went jungle, my adc disconnected at lvl one... somehow we won 4v5 in 30 minutes i believe with me and the support killing the titan after a decide.
Any word on if they will be implementing reward incentives for people who pick less picked roles like Support/ Jungle/ Fill role? Reimplementation of the post-match commendation system they used to have in Smite 1? Saving replays of matches? Smite 1 was always missing key features that could have made it WAY better experience for pro/casual players, viewers, and content creators alike. They say they can actually make more changes now with the new engine... Time will tell
A step in the right direction, but still no mention of clamping down on griefers. I can understand getting steamrolled because my team mate just installed Smite 2, but I"m not okay with getting steamrolled because my team mate is a salty bitch who got rekt in lane and now sits in base spamming VGS. It is a problem that plagued Smite 1 and the rampant griefing behavior still being present in Smite 2 just shows that such behavior was never reacted to accordingly. For anyone who says, "Why would Hi-Rez want to punish any remaining players when they're already hurting?" Well, because such unrelenting griefing will push more people away from the game. Plain and simple. Clamp down on the griefers so I can actually enjoy fair and balanced matches with people who understand gaming etiquette.
straight up had a teammate give up after they died ONCE. sat in base spamming “GOOD GAME!” like why are these players allowed to continue ruining the experience for everyone in that match???? Exactly why i’ll stick to SMITE 1 until this shit gets sorted out
Lmao that type of dickhead isn’t gonna get banned in smite 1 either. It takes a ton of resources to actually ban these people. Either an AI has to determine that someone is throwing, or a dev needs to spend time investigating. And go get an account banned, that user would have to do it multiple times and all the info on violations would need to be recorded.
Yeah ever since i saw that you dont get a priority point for second role anymore, i instantly put dupport into the third spot lol. I like support, but i aint playing that every game since it like kess popular role😭
I had an idea for a ranked system that I posted on Smite forums back in the day that would rank people based on individual team contribution, it would work like this essentially actions in the game including kills, assists and objectives would be ranked by player as a contribution percentage compared with the total number of team kills, team assists and team objectives, for kills and assists this would be like I have 10 kills and the team had 30 kills total, then I had 33.33% of the kill contribution, same with assists say I have 20 assists and the team had 60 total assists, I would have 33.33% of team assists. For objectives, it would be based on your contribution and damage to the objective as a weight on the damage percentage, lets say the team got 3 gold furies all game and I did 10,000 damage to the gold furies and was there for all 3, then I would get an individual contribution percentage based on how much damage I did to the total damage done to the Gold furies, but lets say I had 5,000 damage, but only was there for one gold fury, then I would be weighted lower in my contribution percentage, These resulting percentages would then be tallied up into one final game contribution percentage and if we win, the total amount of SR points would be distributed to the teams constituents based on their percentage multiplied by the total number of available points. I forgot to mention that this pool of points would be gather from all players at the start of the game, lets say like 10% of the SR points from all players at the beginning of the game pooled into one prize pool which is distributed to the winning team upon victory. Using this system, people who contribute more to the game would natural bubble up to the top, people who refuse to play, take towers or respond to objective calls would be penalized for not contributing to the team. The ultimate goal of course would be to foment teams at a high level where everyone is contributing 20% to the teams victory and at a low level, if you're doing 80% of the work and carrying games, you'll get a huge burst of SR points and jump ranks more quickly.
They explained in the Titan Talk why this system wouldn't necessarily work. Essentially, they said that scoring people like this would encourage a certain type of play style while discouraging a more unique way of doing things. With this system, people would worry more about getting kills and assists instead of making really important plays that benefit the team as a whole. Sometimes, the best thing to do is sit back and farm while your team is doing things, or maybe split pushing while the rest of your team dominate a 4v5 team fight cause your jungler got a good pick. The point is that this system is way too generic to be the ONLY system they use.
@@mattwesthaver6909 To name a handful of really bad experiences. Battlefield 4 Destiny DbD Paragon This isn't to say that I think Smite 2 will fail, It most likely will just end up never reaching the desired numbers, but anything can happen. It's just a callout to your naivety for saying "Its an alpha". Of course they are still working on the game, but early impressions do matter, and Smite 2 had already pissed off many with its reveal. That said, needless to say Smite isn't in a great spot rn, and the future isnt as certain as we'd hope.
Please God. I'm so tired of 30-5 stomp matches in either direction. Every match is a complete dice roll on if you get 2-3 useless teammates or the enemy team gets 2-3 useless teammates. Most important aspect of the game and feels genuinely unplayable. Sticking to SMITE 1 exclusively until these changes come in.
Anyone who says Smite 2 isn't broken and borderline unplayable needs to lay off the copium. It's just bad, unless your a sweaty goon that's fine with playing whatever the janky meta is. I want to play how I play, not chase the most perfectly optimized or currently broken thing going on in the meta this week.
every game or even sport real life boils down to this at higher levels from basketball to league of legends. you can be janky and still win but at lower MMR. alot of games balance stuff from a top down approach as in they balance the game around the pro scene (lol, cs2, etc..)
Im obsedian rank and have like 150 ranked games and I dont play the "janky meta". Are there some gods that excel over others? Of course. Can you play other gods? Absolutely
Matchmaking is going to be bad no matter what. There aren’t enough people interested in Smite 2 for match making to even work properly. Hi-rez dropped the ball down the Grand Canyon. Smite 2 is going to fail. The CEO or whoever is making the decisions at Hi-rez is incompetent.
Matchmaking has made this game absolutely miserable. I haven’t played in 3 weeks because of how abysmally bad some of these people are and how frequent it is.
Miserable is an exaggeration imo, but it’s definitely been something to be desired. Luckily even since the OG Alpha’s, I’ve been enjoying the game more and more. The frequent patches/updates also help with that imo.
Yeah they “FIX IT NOW” !!! 😂😂😂 after all the regulars have partied up, farmed there way to masters/ diety- “ELITE RANKED”. Such bullshit. And then this guy who I have supported for years, comes on here and makes this video as part of the hi-rez/lo-rez fan boy as if they did something for the general community/ NEW PLAYERS. THEY DOOM THEIRSELF(hi-rez) AND ANY BODY WITHIN A AVERAGE IQ RANGE KNOWS THIS. Such bs. I want a refund !!
Role based mmr is shit league tried this why would players care or try when there not on there main role it doesn't affect there mmr for it so it doesn't actually matter all anyone cares about is the main role rank
