That was never implied? It was always gonna be both and I said that from the start. If Crucible goes well after pre-season, I'll still make content for both.
Can you do a video on how to win casual games? Like a guide on how to push a lead. How should each position push their lead? I’m sick of being ahead the whole game and then losing a team fight and the game. How do I effectively manage a snowball without continuing to make unnecessary risky plays?
Dream? I wish! He's been top pick and ban for a few weeks now. It's really ruined the game. His ult is broke and he just blinks for a free kill. I get you may be in denial but it's time to accept the truth.
If the Kuzen and Jing hog game were the one I'm thinking(Game 2 RNG v Obey)....yea. Those hogs did nothing apparently cuz 408 keep stealing purple anyways lmao
Yep! They DID secure the first purple where they had both hogs, but still. Massive investment for such a minimal clear increase just to get the next one stolen by a Fafnir. Awkward. Tbf they had Ksier as a sub though (and while RNG also had a sub that was irrelevant for this particular situation).
The only thing I have a question about is jungling the camps different. Ive been going speed, H.O.G. harpys, then to mid harpies and if the minions in mid are killed close enough to me when I'm at harpies I could hit level 2 before I get to blue. And if my mid lane lets me get the XP from red with them I'll be almost level 3. But a lot of these rotations seems to have jungle foregoing XP farm. Mid dropping red without jungle and also skipping mid harpies to get to blue faster (assuming the other jungle doesnt kill mid harpies first). Doesnt all of that put the jungle behind in farm?
Im honestly surprised that people havent been building frostbound on ama beforehand. I have been doing that around a month after I started playing the game (september 2019)
12:20 can someone explain why you would buy atlantas along with hastened katana ? You already gonna stick to the enemy with hastened katana so why the extra movement speed from atlantas ? If it had been atlantas first then It would actually make sense since you would have good early rotations and hastened katana afterwards for the teamfights but atlantas after hastened doesn’t make sense to me smh
Kriega One He has. By a wide margin. The only games that come to mind of Ullr being played in Mid was when Dardez used Ullr against Sanguine in their 1st matchup, and Sheento playing Ullr Mid when Neteroid first brought out Freya.
Eunited vs SSG. Hurriwind played Baba Yaga in Game 2, if I’m not mistaken. It was back in Week 9. Just check the UA-cam channel SmiteVOD, or go to the Twitch channel “SmiteGame”. I’m pretty sure the playlist the game was in is still there.
FINALLY! I've been trying to tell my brother that Heimdallr with Atlanta's bow works, but he always just scoffs and says it's only for assassins/junglers. Jokes on you Deven, I'm not crazy!
Not much happening in sup atm, unfortunately. The only one who does interesting picks is AwesomeJake and I already talked about those in the last vid. Barely any interesting relics or items being used.
The fact that in the first game yemoja got through ban phase amazes me how dumb spl players are also who dosent build ninja tabi on pele i swear you all have no idea how to play this game lol still good vid tho
evan calgary SPL level play is about strategy. You can leave a high priority good open if you believe that the other team doesn’t play it (or doesn’t play it well) or if you fell you have a strategy that can beat it. Like, I believe fineokay and his team likes to use Baron solo when they let her through and it works very well against her.
So I got into the pro scene to see how meta's start and I'm disappointed. I was always under the impression that pro teams have been ride or die pals since day 1 and were constantly coming up with crazy strats and team comps. Basically i was expecting the teamwork of Sanguine and the crazy cheeky strats and plays from E-united but it's all too often the same picks and bans. A lot of these players fight with and against each other in ranked. So I've come to the conclusion that SPL is just glorified ranked. Not to say there isn't things to learn, just disappointed
Honestly you won’t see crazy picks or strays until the championship because showing a strat or pick even once in the season that is an odd one teams will prepare and plan for it.
They dont try in ranked.. they lack coms and their entire team and do things like look at chat and god request.. I can't tell if this comment is a joke or not but I hope it's a joke lol
I'm so glad we didn't lose you to crucible
That was never implied? It was always gonna be both and I said that from the start. If Crucible goes well after pre-season, I'll still make content for both.
@@DukeSloth I'm only kidding

This
Had a weird dream that they added boba fett to smite and you were doing a review of his kit on pts
Dream? I wish! He's been top pick and ban for a few weeks now. It's really ruined the game. His ult is broke and he just blinks for a free kill. I get you may be in denial but it's time to accept the truth.
Ribbit uhhh
@@liaven_ accept it and we can both move on.
Ribbit ok
I love these dives into the pro games, Duke. I'd actually like to see you take deeper dives. Keep it up.
If the Kuzen and Jing hog game were the one I'm thinking(Game 2 RNG v Obey)....yea. Those hogs did nothing apparently cuz 408 keep stealing purple anyways lmao

that game was hilarious
The 408 wants his purple buffs.
Man showed them ZERO respect.
Atlanta's bow is slept on.
atalanta’s bow is good on heim rn bc he has a portal mechanic that gives you fatalis during your auto progression
What? Can you explain it please?
Yeah what do you mean?
That’s not fatalis...., it’s just a reset on his AA chain. You hit the first 2 autos then press your 3. And repeat.
Coco Gamer if you auto then place your 3 it gives u fatalis for an instant, and u can spam it. it’s kind of a niche mechanic but still good to know
Kriega One it literally takes away movement speed auto penalties... that’s fatalis
so i asked LASBRA on stream about ninja tabi on pele, he said he didn’t have enough money for warrior and didn’t want to wait.
The god of Hera is Dardez, if you mentioned hera you shouldve talked about his games xd
Also awilix was picked multiple times and was succesful here and there, but it isnt your to go assassin in the jugnle
How is Morrigan ADC spicy? We’ve seen plenty of mage ADC last season including some Morrigan.
Every video starts with the word "today" and i love it
I am hoping to see Zhong Kui more, I feel like I am the only person playing him at the moment
The only thing I have a question about is jungling the camps different. Ive been going speed, H.O.G. harpys, then to mid harpies and if the minions in mid are killed close enough to me when I'm at harpies I could hit level 2 before I get to blue. And if my mid lane lets me get the XP from red with them I'll be almost level 3.
But a lot of these rotations seems to have jungle foregoing XP farm. Mid dropping red without jungle and also skipping mid harpies to get to blue faster (assuming the other jungle doesnt kill mid harpies first). Doesnt all of that put the jungle behind in farm?
No bc you fuck the mid laner by sharing that much xp
nooooooooooo cthulhu didnt drop. Love u duke got me bk into smite
Could you do a video about counter picking ?
My boi Abow on Heim! Ive been building that on him since release because it gives him movement spd since he has no "real" escape.
bruh he has the best escape in the game
awillix has popped off. she’s played a lot
Mason Umbreon Yea, Awilix has been played more than once with success this season.
The baccas build but with Ganesha. Ult and lock someone down on pillar forever
Im honestly surprised that people havent been building frostbound on ama beforehand. I have been doing that around a month after I started playing the game (september 2019)
Weaken did that a while ago as well so...
Played a game as Morrigan in Conq and absolutely destroyed the enemy Chang’e. I feel like she’s usable.
She always been strong she just fall off the meta sometimes.
Hey I would find it super helpful if you put up the item stats along with the photo when talking about items? Great video tho!
Play the game, there as re only so many items lol.
12:20 can someone explain why you would buy atlantas along with hastened katana ? You already gonna stick to the enemy with hastened katana so why the extra movement speed from atlantas ? If it had been atlantas first then It would actually make sense since you would have good early rotations and hastened katana afterwards for the teamfights but atlantas after hastened doesn’t make sense to me smh
How do you figure he got at Atlanta's after hastened?
How is he going to say the only top hunter picks are Jing and Heim when Ullr is more banned and prioritized than either...?
Probably because ullr mid is more common that ullr adc in SPL. Not sure though
B Lambz and I’m pretty sure Ullr has been picked more in ADC than Mid
Kriega One He has. By a wide margin. The only games that come to mind of Ullr being played in Mid was when Dardez used Ullr against Sanguine in their 1st matchup, and Sheento playing Ullr Mid when Neteroid first brought out Freya.
Does anyone know the match that baba yaga was played in? I'm interested in watching it to learn cause shes fun
I know Hurriwind and Bigmantingz played her, so just check recent Radiance and Eunited matches
Eunited vs SSG. Hurriwind played Baba Yaga in Game 2, if I’m not mistaken. It was back in Week 9. Just check the UA-cam channel SmiteVOD, or go to the Twitch channel “SmiteGame”. I’m pretty sure the playlist the game was in is still there.
FINALLY! I've been trying to tell my brother that Heimdallr with Atlanta's bow works, but he always just scoffs and says it's only for assassins/junglers. Jokes on you Deven, I'm not crazy!
He’s right. Atalanta’s is best for AA melee gods.
Typo at 1:20?
7:51 in-hera-ntly bad pick
When is spl coming back ?
it’s still going....
There’s Playoffs this weekend
Is sobek mid a thing now?
Hell naw
Might as well surrender at 10
Why you MeatCanyon my boy Barra like that?
bacchus also has done well when played, also how can you not talk about ymir
15 minute video and less than 40 seconds are dedicated to support info. :(
Not much happening in sup atm, unfortunately. The only one who does interesting picks is AwesomeJake and I already talked about those in the last vid. Barely any interesting relics or items being used.
Part 3
Yes plese more
5th.... lol.....
Wait.
4th....? ...confused.
hello duke am bored :)
We need a skin for Ra that turns him into a moth. A MothRa if you will.
The fact that in the first game yemoja got through ban phase amazes me how dumb spl players are also who dosent build ninja tabi on pele i swear you all have no idea how to play this game lol still good vid tho
evan calgary SPL level play is about strategy. You can leave a high priority good open if you believe that the other team doesn’t play it (or doesn’t play it well) or if you fell you have a strategy that can beat it.

Lol “causal” rank games wtf
first
So I got into the pro scene to see how meta's start and I'm disappointed. I was always under the impression that pro teams have been ride or die pals since day 1 and were constantly coming up with crazy strats and team comps.
Basically i was expecting the teamwork of Sanguine and the crazy cheeky strats and plays from E-united but it's all too often the same picks and bans. A lot of these players fight with and against each other in ranked.
So I've come to the conclusion that SPL is just glorified ranked. Not to say there isn't things to learn, just disappointed
Not entirely true, the fact they play with 5 players and not only 2 in a group is a great thing
To extend this idea, you can make a team of 5 players and train with it. So spl are full trained team (well I hope)
Somewhat inaccurate. Chapo was banned for trying a fundamentally different strat - 5 man mid isnt something the jedi would teach you
Honestly you won’t see crazy picks or strays until the championship because showing a strat or pick even once in the season that is an odd one teams will prepare and plan for it.
They dont try in ranked.. they lack coms and their entire team and do things like look at chat and god request.. I can't tell if this comment is a joke or not but I hope it's a joke lol
