You're the very first Smite TH-camr i ever watched. I don't ever play duel, but i came across your content by wanting to watch super high level games as a brand new player. Your "Grandmaster 1v1 duel" videos back in 2016 taught me so much. You, Trelli, Dave, rexsi, and even PunkDuck, are people i bindge watched after highschool trying to learn how to play this game all the way back in Season 3 lol. I can't believe it's been almost a whole Decade since then. And it's so awesome that now i get to watch you and them all over again in SMITE 2. Something that was being joked about as a "what if" when i first started playing 😂 Smite 2 is absolutely amazing and the potential it has is insane. CANNOT WAIT to see smite 2 duel content. I can't wait to see how much more they can do with Smite 2. It's gonna be amazing 🎉
Arachnes spiders scale off her strength now. Its broken. Please take a look. Its so funny to see people go half health as soon as they look at my spiders
Just start off I’ve been playing smite for a little over 10 years now, I’ve been watching Sam for YEARS and I’ve yet to play a single game of duel. If you’re on smite or smite 2 it doesn’t matter. I’m watching you buddy. Keep the content going.
Honestly haven't watched the smite 2 vids cause I want to be spoiler free when it fully realeases. I'll give all the vidoes a click though, FOR THE DAMN MAN SAM
If you want to give him the view, but not actually watch it. To start spoiler free. If you download a video, it counts as a watch, even if you don't watch it
been a gm duelist for years on console, really sad that smite 2 is exclusive to next gen. the cost of trying to play the new game is close to 1000 usd in total, and that’s a huge ask for anyone who’s lower class. pc players don’t really have to face this issue, and i think it’s a bit lost on most.
@@TakeYoooGuessing from their need to clarify the currency, they’re probably not from the US. Exchange rates, import taxes, etc. can really run up the total for electronics.
@@carlosmarte428 ty! yeah pc or not it can easily be close to 1000 usd just to be able to launch smite 2. it’s sad that many players will be left behind.
@@Avid2757I mean, that’s how the games industry works. If you have to design a product for two completely different generations of electronics it severely limits and complicates production. Plus, it’s been 4 years since the new gen of consoles came out, we’re getting closer and closer to the NEXT gen.
I like Smite 2 but I'm going to tell you the thruth: right now the bulk of the players are not playing it therefore they are not interested in watching it. I think this will change when it is launched as a final product and the "real" players actually get into playing it, not only hardcores and content creators.
Why its hardcore to play smite2? Becouse it cost 30$? I didnt buy it for alpha, i bought it for godpack (like in smite) and i think alpha is just extra to it
@@sarora291 because it is an alpha, alphas are tests for the developers that, for instance, could damage your hardware cause they are not even optimized and you and the other testers are the data to prevent that, among other things like net and private information security and more stuff; alphas are not only about the game experience.
Literally this, I think Smite 2 is just splitting the community into 2, killing their products even further. Will have the content creators, the hardcores and future gen playing smite 2 and the smite 1 loyalists, players that wnna have their skins and all the gods and play for free playing smite 1.
@@lagared Smite 1 is over, eventually is going to close. Remember they are trying Smite 2 cause they said Smite 1 was no longer sustainable with that player count.
the reason ur ult animation is canceled early is because the CC immunity from her ult. if she beads, the same thing would happen. but once u go on her the poison still applies, u just dont get the throw at the end.
A worse experience about smite 2 compared to smite 1 is the game is not controller friendly. The actives are heavily catered to keyboard rather than controller and you can’t change the active buttons to a more suitable option. Mordred dash is used by pressing the thumb stick in and running multiple actives (not really the meta noww but in the future..) is a nightmare, especially when in a team fight. And you’re thinking “skill diff” lol
@@a.garcha199 yeah, the store is really. I have found a build for jungle and support that I like, so I just try to stick that. The build potential is just as limited as it was in smite 1 lol. You want to do dmg? There’s already a build that does the most dmg. Meta support build? Someone has a video on that too
I agree, I love the look of smite 1 much more. I don't know what it is, it's just too polished for the game in my opinion with how it is stylized. It's like if you updated Runescape to much higher graphics and changed some mechanics around and the hud, it's just too jarring. Especially for someone who still plays on Smite 1, but still uses the Classic HUD.
Luckily it’s an early access alpha. Hades has similar reviews in that stage and then went on to nearly win game of the year as an indie studio. Better to be glass half full and see if it’s your style when it’s a finished game than to be negative and write it off half a year before it’s release 👍
This is insane that I have to listen to Sam speak to you guys like fucking babies I borderline want to skip to where he’s no longer talking about how OK it’s gonna be that’s smite two is coming out
The game's not good. Love Sam to death, but it sounds like he can't comprehend that the majority of us just don't like the game. It's nothing personal homie.

@@StrodaIe Dude, what do you think the comment section is for? Man is asking us to support content for a game we don't enjoy. We're just providing feedback. No need for the hostility.
My main problem with smite 2 is the low god pool, which obviously will get fixed over time, but it isn't appealing with the same 10 gods every match with maybe 1 or 2 different gods
Smite 2 might be the future, but right now, it’s definitely the past, in a *bad* way. Obviously up to you, but I would still recommend watching the view counts and such to make sure Smite 2 content is actually performing better than S1. The game has a lot of issues right now, between zero sandbox balancing, and no matchmaking. There are a lot of people who don’t like Smite 2 in its current state, and it would suck to *only* get Smite 2 videos if the game is still an unbalanced mess where every content creator is going 32-3 and saying the game has no flaws. That is NOT the average player experience of S2.
So excited for duel in smite 2!!! It might be a little boring at first with such few gods and crit is going to be run on every one of them, but it still so excited!!!
I don't know about the rest, but the main reason I'm not watching smite 2 content right now is that I remember how much Smite 1 changed between alpha and release. I feel there's no point in learning items, mechanics, etc., because Smite 2 will probably change a lot as well. And a second reason is that I'm not playing until it's free 🤷🏻♂️ Having said that, I'm glad to hear that you're gonna keep uploading duels, and that the game mode is coming to Smite 2.
I've been playing smite on a laptop I got 6 years ago... I bought access to the alpha, and apparently it can't even run on my outdated computer. Sad times...
Could you do a series of trying to play every Moba on your variety channel? Including everything from popular mobile moba’s to dota and league. I think it will be enjoyable to see you how you learn/adapt or suffer through them
There is no chance I ever touch Smite 2. I gave Hirez so much of my money for the god pack and so many skins with the understanding that I would have those to use as long as Smite was a thing and then they just side step it by releasing the same game on a different engine. No way! In Overwatch 2 I still have everything I had in Overwatch 1 which at least seems fair to me, but what Hirez is doing there is no excuse for.
It just boils down till they don't want to use the resources on it, just like right now, they act like they're going to get 100 gods by the official first season, when they haven't made but 17 this entire year, to get the 120 guys. We won't be at full God's, till season 5 of smites who, let that sink in@@evo3212
Too many people have said the same thing where the big draw away is the intelligence / strength nonsense. Why does that even exist? Just build crit on anything and everything and roles no longer matter.
Im upset that smite 2 advertised how you get your gems from smite 1, but didn’t mention how you gotta buy the new currency to use them still. Was a real bummer
Actually scammer behavior from hi-rez, same goes for all the "cross gen" skins where half of the ones in smite 1 aren't even in smite 2 yet with some of the gods that have those skins not even being in yet.
smite 2 just feels bad and all the habilitties feel weird, ngl for me is uglier and clunky, the UI is the worst looking thing. I get that is an alpha but I hope they are able to make it feel good, rn is just garbage that looks better
Okay here me out. I like smite 2, but i feel like its a big arena mode with objectives... Ive played so much conquest matches where the whole teams just run together cause no one stays in their lanes. Everyone is ganking even before starting buffs. Its fun! Dont get me wrong. Its just feels like Arena mode with conquest objectives, also, you don't need to destroy all the Phoenix's to kill the titan, you just need to kill 4 gods and gank one lane and destroy the titan. It's easier and more brawler. This is just my intake on it so far lol love the game though! Definitely doesn't feel like smite 1
But that's normal for a new game. Especially in alpha. People are trying new things. Seeing what they can make work. The meta hasn't solidified yet. I'm just wanting until people realize they can probably run an invade
@@dragonhero14 yeah that's trueeee lol I love the game though! Besides some bugs, it's smooth and it looks amazing! It doesn't have that normal conquest feel of smite 1 which is understandable since you said it's alpha, as well as a new game. I'm just hype to see this game grow more
Ultimately I believe it was a big mistake to not have duel and joust ready at the release of the open beta. That, coupled with the repetitive nature of the games when there’s a pool of just like 15 gods to pick from is driving the lack of interest in viewership. I mean they had 12 years to make this game and they released some dog shit imo..
I have bought the Smite 2 access almost right away bcs i love smite 1 and i just naturally thought its gonna be the same, but better looking. Yeah nah. I dunno what it is about the engine and graphics, but i despise it. Everything looks too shiny and for example the damage numbers are straight up vomit inducing. The biggest offender for me tho is the reworked item system. It feels just like they just needlessly copied DOTA and LOL and their "component" based item build. I much prefer Smite 1 system of basically selecting a "route" for your item instead. I obviously know that Smite 2 is in diapers pretty much now, so im not writing it off for good. But i will definitely wait until its at least fully released and smite 1 shuts down, before i give it a proper go again.
I love smite, only game I consistently played for a long while. I thought I would be binging smite 2 tbh. Just didn’t get that urge to, I don’t even play it tbh
@@abelgonzalez158 It's funny bc on steam there is only a 1.5k-2k player count difference for Steam. I know this doesn't include console numbers, but it is cool to see so many people investing into Smite 2 even in closed Alpha.
when will smite 2 be optimized enough to actually play on a mid level pc. not everyone has supercomputers and it shouldnt be running as bad as it does.
The main reason I dont have much interest in Smite 2 right now is the conquest map is soooooo big and soooooooooooo slow. My favorite smite maps were the narrower ones, not these giant circular maps. So i am looking forward to the smaller maps. Maybe joust, but definitely clash or slash.
I dislike watching conquest games. I’ve tried, it’s just too slow and boring. I look forward to your 1v1 content though, and I’ll likely start diving into Smite 2 when they roll out Joust, fix the store on console, and make building great again.
Oh yeah well if SMITE 2 is so good why is there no SMITE 2^2? I really do like the game though but brother it is not normal to lose 5 ranked games in a row. Like I’m literally hard stuck amber cause my teammates don’t have the mental to not f6 at by 15 minutes.
smite 2 matchmaking sucks. whether its the system, the player count, it not being implemented, at the end of the day the reason doesnt matter cause it's borderline unplayable to solo queue
sam i would like your opionion on something me myself is an old player of smite, been player for 10 years now and for a reason of i enjoy the game few things bothered me about smite 2 being: on one hand, my and a friend of mine who played for 10 years aswell, non of us received an open beta key to try the game another thing is: we both actually spend a decent amount of money and have limited\unlimited are skins some of then t5 aswell, launching up smite 2 basically means all the hours and money put into that game went into nothing just like that, in my opinion hi-rez should respect their community more on terms of alpha keys but it's too late for that now, but atleast let us transfer skins into smite 2
The long answer is Unreal 3 is not the same as Unreal 5. You cannot just slap old models onto a new engine and call it a day. Unreal 3 uses an archaic bone system. When Epic came out with Ue4 they tried their hardest to get people to use Ue4. Go try and download it, they will strongly suggest trying Ue4 because Ue3 has a LOT of issues with it. Without getting into the nitty gritty, the code logic runs differently. Plus you cannot just slap in a model and expect it to look pretty. Especially with Ue5's new animation system. Everyone would look like a DBZ character in a Ps2 game. Cartoony polygon style with no bump map mixed with insane Ue5 nanite lighting. The short answer is Ue3 is ass. Spending time porting skins over from a shitty engine to a prettier one will put a strain on hi-rez's wallet. As an old player of smite, I don't mind speaking for the community when i say we need a new engine if new Gods are going to be added with mechanics that simply aren't possible on Ue3 without a lot of smoke and mirrors. The new engine will allow for easier bug fixes, quicker God releases because animating has never been simpler, and who knows what else. As it stands, Smite 1 Code is a big bowl of spaghetti and we're one Morrigan ult away from breaking it all apart.
Hi-Rez has already explained countless times why they can't transfer the skins. Smite 1 is a 12+ year old game with 12+ years of content. It's not possible for them to transfer that much stuff over to a brand new engine that's 20 years newer than Smite 1. Every skin they make has to be completely remodeled and recreated for the Smite 2 engine, and nothing can be just simply "transfered" over due to incompatibility. Besides, because of all this, they are giving playing 100% of ALL THE GEMS they've ever spent BACK TO YOU in smite 2. And you're able to use that same currency you've ALREADY SPENT, to help pay for brand new content in Smite 2. And if you get a founders pack for just $30, you get the new God pack, exclusive skins and 2x your Legacy Gems. Meaning Hi-Rez is giving people back 200% OF ALL THE GEMS THEY'VE EVER SPENT OVER THE ENTIRETY OF SMITE 1. To me this is more than generous. And if you have all those skins, there's a good chance you have hundreds of thousands of legacy gems as well. They also stated that they WILL be adding skins from smite 1, in fact there's already multiple of them already in SMITE 2. And they're 100% free if you use legacy gems.
@@ImmortalMarshmallow i did not mean for them to transfer everything, only limited things like t5 skins, back then you would be willing to spend a good chunk of money/time to acquire them, atleast keep those
Seems to me the only people enjoying Smite 2 are the pros and streamers. All due respect Sam, I'm probably gonna hold off on the Smite 2 stuff til duel comes out. The game is so horribly balanced right now that even watching the games isn't fun. Looking forward to seeing the number one dueler set the standard here in a few weeks though. Ciao
Or try the game when it’s not an early access one, hades was review bombed at the start of its alpha and then almost won game of the year as an indie studio
The reason I don’t care to watch smite 2 content is simply the game looks awful to me. Smite 1 feels like it has a soul and smite 2 looks like they just tried modernizing it with busted graphics.
I'll probably start watching your Smite 2 duel content, and I agree with the notion that Smite 2 is simply where were going, love it or hate it. That said, I'm not playing it, and I disagree that it's better than 1 at the moment. It just needs more... I'm bored with Smite 1, I don't know who I want to play with 150+ gods... I sure as hell don't want to play with 20 and a completely imbalanced mess (I understand why balance isn't important to them at the moment, but as a player it's pretty important).

yea and the whole it would take 100s of years of manpower as if they don't release a full fledged copy cat game every other year.
It just boils down till they don't want to use the resources on it, just like right now, they act like they're going to get 100 gods by the official first season, when they haven't made but 17 this entire year, to get the 120 guys. We won't be at full God's, till season 5 of smites who, let that sink in@@evo3212
I got you sam, I will watch all the smite 2 content
18:21 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just sat down to eat lunch, woohoo
Is there any talks of when smite 2 will be free?
When will the smite 2 run down video be
Too many people have said the same thing where the big draw away is the intelligence / strength nonsense. Why does that even exist? Just build crit on anything and everything and roles no longer matter.
Im upset that smite 2 advertised how you get your gems from smite 1, but didn’t mention how you gotta buy the new currency to use them still. Was a real bummer
Actually scammer behavior from hi-rez, same goes for all the "cross gen" skins where half of the ones in smite 1 aren't even in smite 2 yet with some of the gods that have those skins not even being in yet.
My main man got rockblocked. Tragic
smite 2 just feels bad and all the habilitties feel weird, ngl for me is uglier and clunky, the UI is the worst looking thing. I get that is an alpha but I hope they are able to make it feel good, rn is just garbage that looks better
It's only in alpha nothing in the game right now is final it literally says it in the game
Yeah he says he knows it’s alpha and hope it’s get better, you just got defensive
@@ohfire2565 Yet you have to pay money to play. I know it's an early version, but I don't think that it is a good showing right now.
You said it looks worse, but better in the same statement lmao k
Okay here me out. I like smite 2, but i feel like its a big arena mode with objectives... Ive played so much conquest matches where the whole teams just run together cause no one stays in their lanes. Everyone is ganking even before starting buffs. Its fun! Dont get me wrong. Its just feels like Arena mode with conquest objectives, also, you don't need to destroy all the Phoenix's to kill the titan, you just need to kill 4 gods and gank one lane and destroy the titan. It's easier and more brawler. This is just my intake on it so far lol love the game though! Definitely doesn't feel like smite 1
But that's normal for a new game. Especially in alpha. People are trying new things. Seeing what they can make work. The meta hasn't solidified yet. I'm just wanting until people realize they can probably run an invade
@@dragonhero14 yeah that's trueeee lol I love the game though! Besides some bugs, it's smooth and it looks amazing! It doesn't have that normal conquest feel of smite 1 which is understandable since you said it's alpha, as well as a new game. I'm just hype to see this game grow more
Ultimately I believe it was a big mistake to not have duel and joust ready at the release of the open beta. That, coupled with the repetitive nature of the games when there’s a pool of just like 15 gods to pick from is driving the lack of interest in viewership. I mean they had 12 years to make this game and they released some dog shit imo..
Smite 2 when its ready is gonna be soo amazing compared to smite 1
So long smite and watching smite on youtube
damn i deserved to be in the video
I have bought the Smite 2 access almost right away bcs i love smite 1 and i just naturally thought its gonna be the same, but better looking. Yeah nah. I dunno what it is about the engine and graphics, but i despise it. Everything looks too shiny and for example the damage numbers are straight up vomit inducing. The biggest offender for me tho is the reworked item system. It feels just like they just needlessly copied DOTA and LOL and their "component" based item build. I much prefer Smite 1 system of basically selecting a "route" for your item instead.
I obviously know that Smite 2 is in diapers pretty much now, so im not writing it off for good. But i will definitely wait until its at least fully released and smite 1 shuts down, before i give it a proper go again.
Eh smite 2 just looks like amite in 2014
Serqet is op and so underrated
I love smite, only game I consistently played for a long while. I thought I would be binging smite 2 tbh. Just didn’t get that urge to, I don’t even play it tbh
The player base is way too small at the moment I think
@@abelgonzalez158 It's funny bc on steam there is only a 1.5k-2k player count difference for Steam. I know this doesn't include console numbers, but it is cool to see so many people investing into Smite 2 even in closed Alpha.
when will smite 2 be optimized enough to actually play on a mid level pc. not everyone has supercomputers and it shouldnt be running as bad as it does.
I'm not agree with you Sam, smite it's better to watch than smite 2. I don't like watch smite 2 actually
The main reason I dont have much interest in Smite 2 right now is the conquest map is soooooo big and soooooooooooo slow. My favorite smite maps were the narrower ones, not these giant circular maps.
So i am looking forward to the smaller maps. Maybe joust, but definitely clash or slash.
I dislike watching conquest games. I’ve tried, it’s just too slow and boring.
I look forward to your 1v1 content though, and I’ll likely start diving into Smite 2 when they roll out Joust, fix the store on console, and make building great again.
Oh yeah well if SMITE 2 is so good why is there no SMITE 2^2? I really do like the game though but brother it is not normal to lose 5 ranked games in a row. Like I’m literally hard stuck amber cause my teammates don’t have the mental to not f6 at by 15 minutes.
Fineokay is soloQ only and has a 67% win rate in diamond currently.
@@SamDaDudeyou do have a point I just need to start playing like an insane gamer like you or him
smite 2 matchmaking sucks. whether its the system, the player count, it not being implemented, at the end of the day the reason doesnt matter cause it's borderline unplayable to solo queue
Smite has no future
Love you sam but i definitely wont be watching one second on smite 2
i just don’t care to watch conquest anymore
Finally Smite 2 was so boring its not even smite. They should call it paragon 2.
sam i would like your opionion on something
me myself is an old player of smite, been player for 10 years now and for a reason of i enjoy the game
few things bothered me about smite 2 being: on one hand, my and a friend of mine who played for 10 years aswell, non of us received an open beta key to try the game
another thing is: we both actually spend a decent amount of money and have limited\unlimited
are skins some of then t5 aswell, launching up smite 2 basically means all the hours and money put into that game went into nothing just like that, in my opinion hi-rez should respect their community more on terms of alpha keys but it's too late for that now, but atleast let us transfer skins into smite 2
The long answer is Unreal 3 is not the same as Unreal 5. You cannot just slap old models onto a new engine and call it a day. Unreal 3 uses an archaic bone system. When Epic came out with Ue4 they tried their hardest to get people to use Ue4. Go try and download it, they will strongly suggest trying Ue4 because Ue3 has a LOT of issues with it. Without getting into the nitty gritty, the code logic runs differently. Plus you cannot just slap in a model and expect it to look pretty. Especially with Ue5's new animation system. Everyone would look like a DBZ character in a Ps2 game. Cartoony polygon style with no bump map mixed with insane Ue5 nanite lighting.
The short answer is Ue3 is ass. Spending time porting skins over from a shitty engine to a prettier one will put a strain on hi-rez's wallet.
As an old player of smite, I don't mind speaking for the community when i say we need a new engine if new Gods are going to be added with mechanics that simply aren't possible on Ue3 without a lot of smoke and mirrors. The new engine will allow for easier bug fixes, quicker God releases because animating has never been simpler, and who knows what else. As it stands, Smite 1 Code is a big bowl of spaghetti and we're one Morrigan ult away from breaking it all apart.
Hi-Rez has already explained countless times why they can't transfer the skins.
Smite 1 is a 12+ year old game with 12+ years of content. It's not possible for them to transfer that much stuff over to a brand new engine that's 20 years newer than Smite 1.
Every skin they make has to be completely remodeled and recreated for the Smite 2 engine, and nothing can be just simply "transfered" over due to incompatibility.
Besides, because of all this, they are giving playing 100% of ALL THE GEMS they've ever spent BACK TO YOU in smite 2.
And you're able to use that same currency you've ALREADY SPENT, to help pay for brand new content in Smite 2.
And if you get a founders pack for just $30, you get the new God pack, exclusive skins and 2x your Legacy Gems.
Meaning Hi-Rez is giving people back 200% OF ALL THE GEMS THEY'VE EVER SPENT OVER THE ENTIRETY OF SMITE 1.
To me this is more than generous. And if you have all those skins, there's a good chance you have hundreds of thousands of legacy gems as well.
They also stated that they WILL be adding skins from smite 1, in fact there's already multiple of them already in SMITE 2. And they're 100% free if you use legacy gems.
@@ImmortalMarshmallow i did not mean for them to transfer everything, only limited things like t5 skins, back then you would be willing to spend a good chunk of money/time to acquire them, atleast keep those
Smite 2 isnt better than 1.
Hi sam
Seems to me the only people enjoying Smite 2 are the pros and streamers. All due respect Sam, I'm probably gonna hold off on the Smite 2 stuff til duel comes out. The game is so horribly balanced right now that even watching the games isn't fun. Looking forward to seeing the number one dueler set the standard here in a few weeks though. Ciao
finally serqet
Wow....
Tried the alpha and i did not feel comfortable playing it at all. Ill probably quit when they abandon smite 1 unfortunately.
Or try the game when it’s not an early access one, hades was review bombed at the start of its alpha and then almost won game of the year as an indie studio
The reason I don’t care to watch smite 2 content is simply the game looks awful to me. Smite 1 feels like it has a soul and smite 2 looks like they just tried modernizing it with busted graphics.
is hirez pushing content creators to push smite 2? all of a sudden all of you started streaming smite 2 out of nowhere....
smite 2 just looks so bad
Paid smite 2 shrill
I'll probably start watching your Smite 2 duel content, and I agree with the notion that Smite 2 is simply where were going, love it or hate it. That said, I'm not playing it, and I disagree that it's better than 1 at the moment. It just needs more... I'm bored with Smite 1, I don't know who I want to play with 150+ gods... I sure as hell don't want to play with 20 and a completely imbalanced mess (I understand why balance isn't important to them at the moment, but as a player it's pretty important).
"smite" 2 is the death of smite, that thing is killing smite and it's not smite, it's league in a smite skin.
