HOW TO GET BETTER AT SMITE!! (Pt. 1)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2024
- I've been wanting to make this video/series for a while now because I think it's fun to talk about and although you can learn a lot of specific things from watching my gameplay, I never really talk about general things like this. This advice is mainly for Smite but it definitely can be translated a bit to other games and other competitive aspects of life (hopefully)! The next part of this series will try to go into very Smite specific rule of thumbs & how to play the conquest map correctly.
Stop making excuses for yourself and blaming your teammates. Be honest with yourself and focus on things in your control - your gameplay and your attitude! Being a positive influence no matter what league you're will not only be helpful for your teammates, but it will benefit you in the long run. It's much harder to win games in a toxic team environment than it is without it! It's a video game at the end of the day, make sure you're having fun while staying competitive. Check those egos at the door always!

Yeah but if I don't blame a teammate, that means it was my fault and I don't like that
You rock, cancel that. XD

I think TheOtherFrost put it best; "The two most common things holding players back from improving are arrogance and ignorance." As you said, having the right mindset is critical to improving. I just wish we had better access to the in-client replay system rather than having to record our gameplay ourselves.
I read that in his voice...
@@sangramos SAMEEEEE
The reasons frost put out for leaving about the community (conquest) being ignorant is more true everyday.
I’m already an expert at this Fine, I’ve been watching DMbrandon for years. I already know to insult my team for everything they do, complain about my jungler being .5 seconds behind, and take no personal responsibility for my mistakes. It’s not rocket science.

"Check your egos at the door" words to live by, be it in Smite, other online games or everything else in life if you want to be good and always improve. Thanks for these gems of wisdom, fineo, need more gamers like you
I definitely agree with the whole mental process you were talking about. I'm better than my friends in Smite but whenever they have made a good play or a good call I let them know because having people tell you what you're doing good is better than someone yelling at you about what you're doing wrong.
“Just be good. Simple.” -FO
Khia Vue how dare you :P
It’s been a while since I have seen this kind of video for smite. I appreciate the time taken into this
ggBlur facts
Imagine if Smite had recorded gameplay like Overwatch has in spectator view
Hell yeah dude! Ch Chalainn is my new favorite Warrior. Managing his passive, his insane lane pressure, his dope skins, blink ulting in teamfights. So much fun.
Me personally, I mainly play sunwoukong if I play warrior coz of his combos. (I main assassins and jungle, so I dont play him much)
I'm new to Smite, hope this guide will help me. Thanks for uploading it.
One thing, though about copying pros - while it's true even a regular player can learn a lot from them, one must keep in mind that the game environment a pro is playing in is usually vastly different than what the 'average Joe' is playing in. A pro will play and build according to their skill level and meta, and I've seen that when a hobby player like me copies pro gameplay, it can backfire horribly. Not just talking about trying to pull off crazy mechanical stunts, but also builds and decisionmaking. A pro will anticipate the decisionmaking of similar top tier players, but regular players, especially in lower ranks, will be mostly unpredictable and random.
Step one: subscribe to FineOkay
Step two: become a pro
i agree
"Often times casuals are more competitive than ranked" that's why i don't play ranked. Longer ques, longer picks & bans which also take longer, and just generally saltier people. Plus in casuals I get to play against the new god while they're still op, and if I can take them at their most op I can take them once they are nerfed. Plus I do have more than one friend lol
Almost have my degree in Sport Psychology and you basically put most of those lessons into practical terms in this video
As someone with toxic tendencies, I love playing on the Switch. No opportunity to type and you can only get so far with "You rock, cancel that!". Totally agree with what you're saying.
You might've already thought of this, but Reynad27 (Tempostorm) records his voice separately so that he can always upload highlights despite him usually listening to music. Sadly don't know how he does it/what programms he uses, but it can be done.
There's an application called voice meter that can help with that. I dont know if that's what he uses however. It's complex to set up but can be worth it if you have the time
Well he could just set up some audio program like audacity which is free and record his voce, audicity is a very light application so it doesnt really use a lot of resources
@@danhou1278 Voice meter makes it so he can control what applications actually come out of a recording or vod. For example, I can it make it so while I stream I can hear discord, but my audience cannot
You can just have a audio recording program like audacity or something just record your mic audio while streaming. Rip the stream, cut the audio and put in the mic audio
I could’ve used this video when I played Overwatch. I turned down an invitation to join a team because I hated the game. I got into Smite after a friend showed me it and I watched fineokay videos
Out of the frying pan.........
Oh my god-what are you doing? It's not done yet. Look at it! It's RAW, you f*cking DONKEY!!!
Ah the wisdom that I wish wasn’t correct. Kinda like “ahhh I’m guilty and he’s right but I want to be right….” I needed this actually. I needed a lot of help with rage and reacting to people that are toxic. Toxicity trickles down and spreads like a virus. Thank you Fineo. You’re amazing!
Edit: I know this is a year later but I’m going to do this stuff tomorrow and practice muting everyone and be better
The fact is I haven't played smite in like a year yet when Fine uploads I watch the vids anyway he isn't toxic, he is calm, gives tips and all the other things he is just generally the type of players all games need so thanks for that fine I don't know if he is going to see it but the ones that do remember to be nice even to the toxic players maybe you will be the one to make them nice to others
I love these types of videos!! Keep it up Fineokay! Also I have to say that I am happy with the route you took with this video! I also have fun talking about smite 🤓
All the topics you discussed in this video were about character, mindset, and ego. Which in my opinion are always the first factors anyone should consider when playing an online game. I think that a game that is competitive by design (A game like Smite) often makes us forget that we are all different people! Different people with different temperaments, this suffices to say that we should respect our differences and learn to play with those differences not without, this is a TEAM BASED game after all.
Like I said above, I love the direction you went with this part 1! Now I hope to see a more mechanical and strategical breakdown of smite in a Part 2 :D
Mate I'll take a vod with music like this any day, between work and university and the time difference, I rarely can watch your streams, you can just use a thumbnail indicating that there's no commentary for people who would be annoyed and what not
Btw did you just call yourself better than me? Your ass is lucky that I play on EU servers
I have around 5000 hours in this game, and this video still helped. Thanks man :)
I appreciate these videos. I’ve been playing for a long time and I’m a good player but I want to improve and be a better player of course. I think these ego checks and talking about it was very important and I appreciate this section because you’re absolutely right. I’m glad I found this channel very informative. For me one of my biggest downfalls is the items. I understand the items at its basics but I still have issues with reallt grasping them and what situations I should change up my set up. I’m trying to improve and luckily I have met someone who is assisting but I want to be able to also improve on my own. Thank you
Great insight on the mental needed to perform at an elevated level in this game, is itemization something on the agenda for the next video? I often find myself buying the same items more or less in mid...
Instead of 18 gods mastered, - watching this video should be a requirement to play ranked.
Solo isn't very impactful compared to every other role right now, it'll probably be worse in early s7
Damen Dolloff they buffed totem and reverted blue buff so personally I think it’ll be more impactful
@@damendolloff7878 yea adcs are gonna be strong with crit buffs/getting void now and junglers have more farm and mages have interesting build choices with all mage items being changed so we'll see what happens.
I have changed my Da Ji build so many times based on how other players I played against built her and I've discovered that while I genuinely love her, she doesn't mesh with my play style. Every match is a learning opportunity and I try very hard to be as friendly as possible with my teammates.
How to get better at smite as jungler:
1. Only help solo
2. Only help duo
3. Only help mid
4. Cant be everywhere
5. I rock/cancel that
6. Accept everything is your fault
7. Dont jungle
8. Stay underleveled
9. Read hate mail
10. Uninstall

How to get better at Smite: Play Casual all day
Was looking up videos on how to be better at smite just the other day and also went looking for the (infamous :p ) A-Z series. Glad this came across my feed finally. Some great, orginal advice all very useful to a new-ish player and so calmly and honestly delivered. Keep being great! :)
Do you have a playlist you listen to? Or just random stuff
For someone who has played smite a long time but never got into conquest and now wants to do you (or nice TH-cam comments section :) ) have any specific advise? I know a lot of what was covered in the video is applicable
Your mechanics should carry over a ton so understanding kits and interactions will be fine. What you should do is play a variety of roles and gods plus watch a variety of good players on Twitch or TH-cam and learn from them. Constantly be looking at the map and where people are on the map. In time you’ll learn how to read it and position correctly most of the time.
@@DudeImFonz Thanks!!!!!
I’ve got over 20 stars on Cu Chu so it’s always nice seeing Cu Chu gameplay
Been watching you a couple seasons love all your content can’t wait for part two! Ps for me I just have to play chef Vulcan bc I got the skin from one of your giveaways, then Sicko mode is engaged 😂
Any way you can make a video guide about getting back into Smite for season 7? I’ve taken a decent sized break from the game but want to get back into solo. Quick vid showing, build, gods, lane play, etc. You the best FO!
Also I have been following you from the times you were not this good at the game. But you seemed so calm and eager to be better. Now here you are. Also what do you think about season 7 solo lane changes?
PREACHHH.. Love this.. Still wanting a Kuzenbro video though 😘
You and otherfrost have really helped me appreciate this game like I used to, and improve my gameplay too
Hadn't played Smite since season 3 and was thinking I'd get back into it. 5 minutes into my first casual game, teammates were already yelling at eachother. It's worse now than it was years ago.
The major problem with trying something new in a smite game is when it doesn't work well, I play carry and some jungle , but have moved to the solo lane aswell thanks to your videos!!! Achillies is my favourite, been taking him to joust to get execute triple kills.
Great video!
I'd add that reviewing your specific game settings and understanding the pros and cons of different setups in these menu options is also very important for everyone, but particularly console players in terms of the "Controls" section. For PC players I know that different pros map controls differently, but I'm a console player and can provide my own experience and opinions here and leave PC folks to comment further for suggestions.
For console players the default setting in the "Controls" section is "Challenger" but this is *HORRIBLE* for long term success at the game and I'll try to explain why below and some suggestions to improve your play.
Changing to "Savage Plus" provides you the ability to fire all your abilities while keeping your thumbs on the thumbpad (joystick) controls which is important for aiming at moving targets. This is easy if you are just learning Smite and have very little time invested in developing muscle memory, but will completely mess up your games if you have played Smite for long enough to not even think about how you do X or Y and everything is just instinct from hours & hours of play. If you fall into this established player group it will be much harder to relearn a new control setting, and you may find that "Savage Plus" is overwhelming in which case I'd strongly suggest looking at "Berserk" since this leaves all your ability button options the same as "Challenger" but allows you to activate potions and relics with single click making it faster and more reliable. The last option to consider for controls would be spending money on a Scuff controller which will allow you to customize your button layout and provide extra activation levers on the backside of the controller. Scuff controllers are legal within esport tournament play, including Smite, Madden, etc.
BTW, I personally use Berserk and have two Scuff controllers. I WISH I had learned on Savage settings on a Scuff controller, but after years of playing Smite it was just easier for me to switch to Berserk and I found that I'm not dedicated enough to relearn thousands of hours of controller layout play to take full advantage of my Scuff controllers or attempt to learn "Savage Plus" layout but this is how I would introduce and advise any NEW CONSOLE Smite players to jump in and learn.
PS - I edited to add "Great Video" into the first line of comments.
Got to say whenever i get chucked into solo lane in my ranked games ill always check ur vids about what to level and build! Love watchin ur vids bro! #legend! My opinion ... best solo laner there is period!
Not sure if you have already but I would appreciate a guide of how to build and how to know what and when to build certain items against whatever match ups cause I've been playing the game since season 2 and I get the gist of building but I need to break the habit of going on TH-cam and looking up a build or memorising builds and only using that build
I learn a lot from watching your vids, not only in gameplay but in attitude because often in the solo the people spams taunt, laughs and rages to the jg even when they solo die and you don't do any of that stuff from the get go. A different perspective from the solo, more calm, analitic and better
Used to play ranked duel a lot but I would beat myself up when I did badly so I’ve stopped playing ranked at least for now because it was unhealthy for me. From my experience though, I’ve learned a lot and I make it a point after every game to look at everyone else’s builds so I can learn as much as possible from other players.
Very good video and very good points, I want to find people better than me but I don’t have friends who play often or at my level, don’t know how to go about this seeing as i will
Learn more with them than stomping low levels
This was very informative Alec :) I'm glad you're doing things like this
great video . keep up the good work !
Oh wow caught this upload in the first 10 minutes nice
fineokay, pandacat, and wowy used to always dick me down in siege in like 2015 and i learned so much from it honestly
It's nice to have this mindset but there are times when I'll hard carry 30 kill games and I'm trying my absolute hardest and I say nothing in chat and I'll get reported by like 5 different people either because my team didn't like a specific thing I did or the enemy got mad I slapped them. This happens a lot actually, more often then not I'll just get the message I was reported when I've said literally nothing and played the best I can and performed better than anyone in the whole game. This video is obviously for people who are being toxic and want to improve but when other players are threatening your account you can't help but feel frustrated.
That sucks man I definitely understand the frustration, however if you aren't doing anything wrong you don't have anything to worry about. Hirez reviews your account and the specific games to see whether you actually did anything bad. You'll be fine!
Here's a question about builds. I feel like I really struggle finding out what items really synergize with a god. One of my favorites is Ah Puch and I never getn close to the damage I see other players get with him. Do you have any tips on the best way to find items that work well?
Michael Rono it depends on what you mean. Do you feel like when you hit all your abilities they do less damage in that situation or at the end of the game you end up with less damage?
@@DudeImFonz moreso the actual damage being dealt. Using my example, I'll typically build enough cooldown to spam abilities giving me a good overall damage. I personally feel like the abilities I'm hitting aren't hitting as hard as they can. I always thought it might be an issue of not building enough pen, but I'm kinda stuck on what items are good for him.
Michael Rono Most mages are ability based some are just burst damage mages and some are dot mages, a few can do both like Ah Puch he can do both but most of his damage comes from this combo explosion so he’s considered a burst mage. Try building things on him that help to hit or for when you hit the combo on someone for example, I’ve found Shamans Ring is great on him, Gem of Isolation also helps to hit your full combo on people.if you wanted to do a little extra burst damage you could try building Ethereal Staff or Soul Reaver. The game splits gods into categories, Ability based and Auto/ basic attack based. Meaning you have to either hit abilities to do most of your damage or hit Basic attacks for most of your damage. For ability based gods try building things that help their abilities like cool down and Pen items.For basic attack gods try builds things like attack speed and power. I hope you understand and that this helps.
I’m playing smite for the first time and I like it. Man I went into a normal match of pvp for the first time and I was bullied so hard in chat. So now I just play co-op lol
You just went from one of my favorite Smite players to watch to one of my favorite people
Nice video format! So much knowledge. Thanks
i found you thru Inters3ct, and im glad i did
Solo Main forever
SMITE casuals, the playground of the gods
This was a really great vid. Really helpful and the cu game was fun to watch too, need to start checking out the streams.
So what you mean is to try out a few gods from each role? I’m sticking by assassins but I definitely know I need improvement.
Could you make a video on the basics on solo and how to prioritize clear vs poke? I feel like I lose every lane against jorm and try to improve... also, warriors that rely on glad shield for sustain that can't always use it, and when they change the pots and chalice interactions then I will be really lost. I am very reliant on pots and chalice in rolls even beyond solo or conquest!
Very good video, its obvious you put a lot of work on it. I love it.
First part is just talking about your setup and mainly just how to make yourself comfortable and enjoy your gaming experience.
4:00 he starts to talk about how to improve in smite
The reason I not at my full potential is mostly confidence, not the most confident person in real life so whenever I think of a play I don’t feel like I can achieve it. Or if I need to be aggressive i don’t feel like I could do it.
Start doing it! Build that confidence up man, I understand the struggle. I want to see you start making those plays
Thanks for the new video! Quick question. I've been trying your advice on trying different roles, but what about roles I hate (specifically carry)?
Maybe lean towards the other roles then, try it every once and a while to stay fresh
First song is Like U Say - Futuristik
weak3n did something similar to this and one of the major differences between this and his was you should only play one role and only the best 3 gods in that role so which one should i be doing?
I found it beneficial to atleast know the basic attacks/passives of all gods so to have more knowledge of your opponent if just a lil bit. So experiment with the gods. I would recommend maining atleast 2 roles because alot of the time you won't get the role you want.
MR.NEVERSEEN Gaming yeah I play support and mainly jungle because it’s the same role but I know how to play every role except I’m bad at solo but I tend to play all kinds of gods in every role and do well but I was wondering for my friends that are newer or less experienced since I’ve been playing for a few years
can we talk about cu chulainn's leap can hi rez give him the same buff camazots got hi rez please i need it
nice video i really learned that talking to people is never good XD
Yeah, well but what about people who feed the other team and clearly rely on being carried by someone else. So, therefore, you carry, die a lot, and then eventually lose. That is frustrating when you make your builds correct, stack basics, and get camps and or the giants before they do... So in my opinion, when people need blaming because they're not pulling THEIR weight the process of the battle that people call "chores" thenceforth that is completely obnoxious, AMAZING video, I myself did agree with 99% of the video except for one part. Great job! I will catch you in the battle maybe? :) -Olivia
Can my teammates still see my vgs if I mute them?
Fine I fucks with the intro my g
Never change Alec, never change
any tips for support/guardian? items, builds, and playstyles?
6 years Dota 1 , 3 years LoL , 7 years World of Tanks , 4 years War Thunder , 6 years Company of Heroes 2 ranked , 12 years WoW Arena and Hardcore PvE raiding so DUDE i can't be toxic and i don't know how :D:D:D::D
As a casual who start Smite again after being beta tester in 2012 i really can't understand teammates that end with scores : 1/9/2; 0/14/12; 0/12/2 and so on.
HE UPLOADED CUH YESSSSSSSSSSS
Any guides or resources for positioning? I've been playing smite for years and I feel like it's my weakest skill and has directly contributed to countless individual and team losses. It's a skill I think that a person just learns over time, but I really struggle with it when playing against diamond/masters.
fuck i gotta go to work and you drop this.
But can we all agree it’s not that hard to say “enemy missing”
When you are coming back into lane and they roam to another lane, what are you supposed to do, or if they go out of base into another lane, ill try mind reading
Nice intro
Good Video bro i like this
What’s the name of the song in the intro?? It sounds awesome, btw keep up the great work ❤️
thanks fineokay. your advice is great & very much appreciated.
What is that intro? man i love that tune! What is the name or songs like it?
Watching the gameplay but im still not quite sure what fineokay did to out push then out perform the jorm
The best advice I can give players is to never die alone. Die under a tower, with minions, or with your teammates. Its gonna be alright.
My suggestion would be travel back in time and play paragon then you will automatically be a platinum
Could you list your song selection? Really enjoyed some of the tracks I heard.
I feel like there are subtle shots at dmbrandon on this video.
BUT what if youve done everything in your power to help then your teammate misses an ult that loses you the fight, then its your teammates fault? But youre the pro here haba
I feel like this is aimed towards kinda seasoned, experienced players who for a reason or the other can't climb the ladder.
I started playing about a week ago, so most of this stuff is irrelevant for me now. while it still somewhat applies to me, there's so much i still need to understand. Could you please make a guide for beginners who wanna learn good habits of the game?
That will be part 2! Need to have a good mentality and plan before anything imo. Also for the most part, to get better at Smite or any role, you watch a lot of gameplay and guides. I have those all over my TH-cam!
I will say... I do tend to overstep my boundaries when I know a team fight could be handled differently. For example, I'm jgling and I call out gank carry lane. I know the support typically should be the first guy in the tower and point that out to them. After a while, I'll think that maybe tower diving wasn't necessarily a smart idea at the time.
Bottom line... I know what you're saying. Even if something does go wrong, I should think what I could've done differently.
Also, I want to buy stone of gaia some games just for the sustain out of combat and between fights, warriors don't seem to have anything to help with it aside from glad shield, self heals, or FG... I really like characters like osiris, cu culian, nike, etc, but still, prioritizing clear vs poke, and sustain is tough.
Can confirm, i subscribed to fineokay and my IQ went up by 200
Hey fineokay love your vids. I wanted to ask specifically about builds how do you know when they are optimized and is there any resource that's goes in detail on smite items their stats and their best time to use scenarios.
The only way you will ever get good at building is by learning what each God is capable of, and the only way to TRULY understand that is by playing a lot.
FineOkay does a great job of explaining *why* he builds what he builds in his play-by-plays.
Instead of focusing on the items he gets, pay more attention to the reasoning behind his choices.
The *why,* not the *what,* because items may change.
the feeders alot of times lash out and blame team for not helping them
And another Problem by me is the tier list because there are gods who i want to play but they are often a B Tier or so, so do u think i should play who i want? (sry for my Bad english), nice Video thank you for that
Most of the gods in the game can do well. If you want to play a specific god go for it.
What if your a level 6 getting 700 crit by susano in the first 5 mins and your hun bats?
That'll be a new sub for you my man. Well said and thank you
how do you win against aa based warriors? I can’t seem to counter those gods in solo lane
Love the intro, keep it up!
Rule 1: Don’t lose game 3 of worlds! OMEGALUL
What would you say are some of the top solo Lane gods to practice solo
