Clash was a much better game mode last season, they really screwed over the balance of the mode with the xp spooling, the stupid laser beam phoenixes, shorter respawn timers, and the Apophis buff being pretty bad at helping you actually end the game. It was a nice casual place to do fire giant or gold fury kill quests before as well.
I enjoyed Clash in S3 and early S4. I looked at it as an extended game of Arena, with towers and titan but an Arena feel. Personally I play a ton of Assault and warmup / chill with Arena... unless my friends are on, then we queue into Joust. xD
I only play clash and assault... Why? Because clash is as casual as arena, but has some conquest features and assault, because sometimes I just don't feel like playing any god and I just let the game choose it for me...
Ranked joust main here. This game mode is the only reason I play smite. Conquest is the worst gamemode IMHO. Too hectic, too slow while you constitute only 1/10 of the match, like a little ant. Most of the time the battles in conquest are either 2 vs 1 or a hectic 5 v 5 arena style deathwatch. Want better map related strategy? go play supreme commander..
Shadow light I think you’re just an inexperienced conquest player. If you are rotating properly, using wards, or your team, it should avoid 2v1 situations against you. 5v5 team fights are willing to happen lategame until people get picked off or the outcome of that massive fight could possibly lead to your victory depending on the strategy you use. You could go for FG, run it down mid with your team, or split push. Many different ways just as an example for that exact situation. This is coming from a joust main. I love joust way more than conquest, but I will still fucc up ranked regardless of conquest, joist or duel
As long as I'm playing with Mexicans on N/A servers who constantly call me a "gringo puto", spam VGS, and type "jajajajajaja" every 30 seconds I'm having fun.
It was a joke, and any god is good if you put time into them. Anubis is easy to trash if he misses his cc or if you dodge/jump it. He's not even a problem because you can take advantage of his bad early game. He has no esc too. I think you are just bad.
I'm a Clash player, and I gotta say, this video hurt, I play Clash because its like arena and conquest mixed, and I like that. My second would be Assault.
As a mainly Assault player (~90%) I take Assault quite seriously and it upsets me when people say it's completely the opposite of competitive. I think what makes the mode challenging - and interesting - is the fact that you need to quickly figure out how to use a random god and what to build based on a random team and their gameplay. Strategically it may not be as complex because of lack of lanes, but when it comes to character skill and creating new builds, I think it teaches you a lot.
The only problem about assault to me is that the rng is bad. No questions about that. Besides each team getting a healer the rest of the team is grouped up in one role
I don't main assault but I do play it 90% of the time . I don't take it seriously it do get annoying when your team mate let's them take the tower or just a horrible feeder because someone messed up once
I still think it's weird that you have to pay favor to reroll a god. It makes assault the only mode that is pay to win (even after buying the god pack). Assault is still my favorite game mode though.
Assault is an amazing mode, both for teamfighting and learning how and when to poke. God help you if you reroll healer though, that's grounds from a lynching.
It depends on which "direction" they came from, I think. I'm an Arena main who likes Clash because it's Arena with towers. The salty ones come from "serious" modes like feller in the video said.
I used to love playing ranked conquest. I'm not very good, still in bronze, but I'm still learning how to play the game properly. However the salt was just so bad I couldn't play it anymore. I was getting told to kill myself because I had the audacity to lose lane against a more skilled player (in that game I went 3-3 so I wasn't even feeding).
The Third Entertainer Same here. Almost always got stuck with support. And one game I'm dominating Solo then the game gets someone in Diamond and puts them in the Solo lane. Matchmaking was so terrible I'm probably going to wait until S5 for a fresh start since everything will be new
They are probably mad because you should have the game figured out by the time you make it to ranked. I recomend practicing in casual conquest. Or just play duel. Dont have to deal with team salt and if you are good, no one will drag you down.
03:06 is too real... except they just got bored of the game and I stopped maining Clash when I realised how awful the matches are there. Now I just take my chances with Joust randos
Don't be terrified bro. I was the same a few years back until i stopped giving a shit. You WILL make mistakes and that's okay. Everybody does it. You will have good games and bad games. Take it one game at a time. I avoided Ranked for 2 whole seasons until i said fuck it and jumped into Ranked Conquest in the Summer Split. Ended up placing in Plat 4 which i was happy with :)
These descriptions are not far off, however I will say you missed quite a bit with siege. I play Siege to actually have fun. Siege has the best gold spooling so as a solo queue, I can make my favorite troll builds much faster. All movement speed items or all health items on Thanatos? winged blade tree only so you have a 0 damage build on Artemis? Go for it! Another thing about Siege is how fast pace it is, in other words "Is your entire team getting stomped? Well at least you're not in a 40 minute game like conquest." Another reason I went to Siege is because the Conquest map has gotten bland, so since I have a significantly less play time in siege, I can enjoy a different map until Season 5 rolls out. I'm super excited for it.
the sad truth is though about ranked conquest is pro players can one man carry a game up to masters that's why they are considered "pro" if you really want to be the very best then learn how to ward, be positionally aware, and carry your team through important objective kills/ steals that you can make with out feeding your game. over all conquest to be a pro player at it takes a lot of patience and calm intuition. if your constantly blinded by salt your not thinking clearly and there for put yourself in bad situations. its not your teams fault that you died its yours. you should be looking out for you and only peal if you are able to get out alive as well.
Clash is downright gnarly. I played a warm up game just messin around trying to have fun. Turns out hirez had other plans and I wound up going against 3 members of astral authority.... my team and I lost.
Arena main, and proud of it. Fak it all, I just wanna team fight & have fun. Should probably be playing 2 v 2 on Super Smash Bros instead but... meh, I actually HAVE FUN playing Smite. The entire reason I quite LoL, is cause Arena. I quit Toxicity, I ain't about to start getting that needle in my arm again any time soon.
I started out playing with a friend who said joust was the only mode without toxic people.(Still not sure if he was trolling me) I played joust mostly and would mix in some conquest and arena to see how I would do. I wasn't doing very well on the bigger maps. I didn't know how to play many gods, and still got wrecked on the gods I felt comfortable with because I didn't know how to counter build, etc. Ended up playing a bunch of assault to force myself to experience a bunch of different gods. (Was also nice having the excuse that I hadn't played them before to lean on without some shitbag complaining) Ended up really enjoying assault, and I still play it more than any other mode. Pretty much only play conquest and stuff if I have a group of friends on who want to play those modes. I don't know if I would say assault is the most competitive.. but it can definitely be the most fun. 2 teams standing in lane staring each other down, and as soon as the first person makes a move the shit show explodes. xD
I like the fact that you started with Arena. Not only because of alphabetically being the first, but because that's the most fun of them all. I mean waiting to finish a match that you clearly lost in conquest is a pain, but I've seen my team bring back a 100 ticket disadvantage when we only had like 30 more leftm and win. Yeah, we had a really OP Kali who finally finished her build and did 2 pentas. or a penta and a quadra, not sure. so in there, anything can happen, as long as your team works together, and has a teamcomposition that can do some nice wombo combo in there. Odin cage or Ares pull usually goes wiell with most stuff.
can -> true can do it in such a short time, that less than 5 minute passes and we get 10 kills in 1 guys (or maybe girls, who knows) hands, and a few more for the rest of the team? hardly. Mainly because the conquest map (and really most maps) are way too big for it. Shrinking the maps would also be an option, but that'd change the meta in favor of less mobile characters a lot, so it's probably not gonna happen anyway. And about combacks, it's not Yugioh, where you turn the game around in 10 seconds, just because you drew a good card. Here, you actually have to work for it to happen. And Arena is, where shit happens the fastest. I like small places. Arena is one. Conquest map isn't. Joust map is somewhat closer to ideal size, but the walls still make it less easy to move around in, while assault is 1 long line that requires shitton of walking if you die, but otherwise is the perfect place to pitch people against each other. That map is probably the best, if only random pick wouldn't be a thing there. I mean some teamcomps would just rekt that place. Ares ult can reach through the whole lane if used in the middle, Odin can trap them afterwards, and negate healing, and the mages can go book, right alongside Hou Yi and the like. In Arena, this also happens fairly often.
Siege has that pre-cartoon art-style of the old conquest map with the barbarian looking encampment for chaos and nice ocean/waterfall vista for long lane.
I've been playing Smite for 2-3 years and I usually just stick with normal joust and arena modes and tend to avoid the other modes because my self esteem surrounding my skill level in the game tells me that I'm not good enough for the other modes and the toxicity of the Smite community just discourages me from even playing those modes. Much less, the ranked modes. First time I played a ranked mode, it was after two years of playing Smite and I was lucky enough to team up with some chill players in ranked joust. I told them how long I had been playing and that it was my first ranked match in general and they replied (paraphrasing), "Man, the Smite community need to stop with its toxicity, it's keeping all these players from playing ranked matches." From what he said, I assumed that not a lot of people often play ranked modes compared to the casual modes for whatever reason. Ever since that first ranked match, it encouraged me to play more ranked and then someone had to go and hurt my self-esteem in my fifth ranked match and I never played ranked again in all my three years of playing. Today, I still stick to casual arena & joust with the occasional modes with 5v5 (and/or 4v4, I can't remember) two lane pushing. Even as I was writing this, I'm afraid of the responses I'll get from the Smite community if I even get any at all.
I play arena a lot. That’s where I’ve found some of the best people playing this game. Not only have I found the nicest people playing, (everyone in something like joust or clash just yells at me, because I’m not good) but it’s quick, simple, and easiest for me understood.
I quite enjoy ranked joust. In my opinion it requires a lot of mechanical skill, and actual tactical target focus throughout the entire game. Like, if you miss a single ability, you could lose the whole teamfight, and the enemy team could get a tower or a bull demon( fire giant for joust ). Snowballing isn't as easy as people might say it is ; if you get to late game with full health tower, being 10/0, you could still lose if you missplay once which makes it quite interesting. You get to learn from your mistakes MORE OFTEN, than in conquest, since everything is so fast paced. I remember getting so angry just because i missed 1 ullr axe that cost the entire game. And yeah, not many people play it and MM is kinda trash. I personally am masters, and after a 12 min queue I could get put againts plats or very bad diamonds, which i don't like at all. But anyways I'm just a random wannabe proplayer that thinks joust is actually skillworthy and not just a pushover gamemode
I used to play conquest only, but I play clash now because I want a lot of fights, don't want to farm / fight creeps and objectives more than other players, and I like quick games
i play clash occasionally because it's not like arena and it's not rly conquest either. It's mostly casual, u get to choose who to blame easily, u get to be sneaky and killsteal easily and it's good for me because i don't want to rely on my teammates at all because i always despise them but sometimes seek for quick help because sumfin goes wrong with megalomaniac tendencies
Some of us don't have an hour and a half to sit and become salty towards the end sorry. Arena does that for me but in 18 minutes and it's fun when teammates aren't trash or both teams are equal skill. Assault is also really good like you said . It teaches you to learn new gods (that is if you have UGP). Clash is the way better Joust where 1 trash player won't cause your team to crash (where the uneven player count becomes useful). All these game modes to me are the best. I dip into conquest at times with Athena, Janus or Erlang but the match goes on for way to long and drags out. Clash is capable of that but without farming brutally and risking the chance of dying from a jungler on the way to ADC to save a tower. CRO is either the best damn MOTD or it's the worst.
DukeSloth, maybe you could do a "What your build says about you" the people the build "meta, all crit, all pen, all attack speed, selfish, the support caregiver (auras), full power, meme builder, etc." I think something like this would be super cool to watch and it would not only be funny, but informative to maybe open some eyes to some people including myself? Haha looking forward to your future videos!
as a clash main I can attest to the bad builds and salty players, personally I play it because the games tend to be short and at times can be a good place to test builds when you have friends with you
Joust is completely right. I played conquest mainly and even ranked conquest until this season where I found some friends who play Smite and we just play Joust and joke and fuck around so no one ever gets pissed its just fun. Except when the enemy goes for 100% cheese comps.
To be honest i play mostly casual joust but by myself because honestly every time i play conquest i find myself playing a 1 v 5 so playing joust instead of 4 people pushing me down its only 2 players on my back. Plus you know match making placing a lvl 15 against a a plat or diamond doesn't help
i play ranked, co-op and casual conquest because i sometimes feel like i need to train, need to try a build, have fun or am good today so i decide basicaly on that term :D
I just multi-queue Joust/Assault/Clash/Siege nowadays since all of those game modes are quick and fun. Used to play Conquest 80% of the time but I stopped about 4 months ago.
Just throwing this out there, but I'd be interested in a "what your conquest position says about you." Seeing the personality traits of solo-laners, junglers, supports, mids and adc's would be cool, if a little redundant at this point
Another thing that I want to mention is that they should rework clash. It just isn't fun to me, and it doesn't do anything that Hirez promoted it for. Clash was meant to build the gap between Arena and Conquest players, but it never felt anywhere near Conquest to me as people rarely utilized the "jungle", even if they knew how to. Honestly I want Clash to be seen more as a secondary alternative to Conquest instead. I would love to see another 3 lane GM in Smite. With the same aspect of "meet in the middle" however with a wider jungle. It'd be set up one lane straight down the middle and two lanes in an X formation. There will be a jungle between each lane and 2 jungles on either side of the map for objectives. The titan room will be of course mirrored in the middle and will have a spawn like in conquest, with 2 sub lanes connecting to each side lane. Imagine it as sort of a snowflake if my description is hard to imagine.

Clash was a much better game mode last season, they really screwed over the balance of the mode with the xp spooling, the stupid laser beam phoenixes, shorter respawn timers, and the Apophis buff being pretty bad at helping you actually end the game. It was a nice casual place to do fire giant or gold fury kill quests before as well.
He went in on the clash mode lol. But everything he said about the gold and fucking up on that game mode is true..
For a reason, it can be so toxic it makes ranked Conquest look like kindergarten.
I dont like the pheonixes in clash but i like the mode in general. Probably my 2nd favorite after conquest.

DukeSloth Your tip last season about joining conquest at the beginning of a new season if youre nervous was perfect, and helped tremendously.
Don't be terrified bro. I was the same a few years back until i stopped giving a shit. You WILL make mistakes and that's okay. Everybody does it. You will have good games and bad games.

Ended up playing a bunch of assault to force myself to experience a bunch of different gods. (Was also nice having the excuse that I hadn't played them before to lean on without some shitbag complaining) Ended up really enjoying assault, and I still play it more than any other mode. Pretty much only play conquest and stuff if I have a group of friends on who want to play those modes.

I absolutely love how I thought he was gonna praise conquest and he immediately says “Fuck that.” lmao
I like the fact that you started with Arena. Not only because of alphabetically being the first, but because that's the most fun of them all. I mean waiting to finish a match that you clearly lost in conquest is a pain, but I've seen my team bring back a 100 ticket disadvantage when we only had like 30 more leftm and win. Yeah, we had a really OP Kali who finally finished her build and did 2 pentas. or a penta and a quadra, not sure.
so in there, anything can happen, as long as your team works together, and has a teamcomposition that can do some nice wombo combo in there. Odin cage or Ares pull usually goes wiell with most stuff.
can -> true
can do it in such a short time, that less than 5 minute passes and we get 10 kills in 1 guys (or maybe girls, who knows) hands, and a few more for the rest of the team? hardly. Mainly because the conquest map (and really most maps) are way too big for it.
Shrinking the maps would also be an option, but that'd change the meta in favor of less mobile characters a lot, so it's probably not gonna happen anyway.
And about combacks, it's not Yugioh, where you turn the game around in 10 seconds, just because you drew a good card. Here, you actually have to work for it to happen. And Arena is, where shit happens the fastest. I like small places. Arena is one. Conquest map isn't. Joust map is somewhat closer to ideal size, but the walls still make it less easy to move around in, while assault is 1 long line that requires shitton of walking if you die, but otherwise is the perfect place to pitch people against each other. That map is probably the best, if only random pick wouldn't be a thing there. I mean some teamcomps would just rekt that place. Ares ult can reach through the whole lane if used in the middle, Odin can trap them afterwards, and negate healing, and the mages can go book, right alongside Hou Yi and the like. In Arena, this also happens fairly often.
Those are so accurate they almost hurt. Except when they didn't. Merry Christmas Duke.
I have never seen a more accurate description of the player base of Smite lmfao
Duke, what you said about the Clash mode made me realize how awesome you are. I love you.
Siege has that pre-cartoon art-style of the old conquest map with the barbarian looking encampment for chaos and nice ocean/waterfall vista for long lane.
I've been playing Smite for 2-3 years and I usually just stick with normal joust and arena modes and tend to avoid the other modes because my self esteem surrounding my skill level in the game tells me that I'm not good enough for the other modes and the toxicity of the Smite community just discourages me from even playing those modes. Much less, the ranked modes. First time I played a ranked mode, it was after two years of playing Smite and I was lucky enough to team up with some chill players in ranked joust. I told them how long I had been playing and that it was my first ranked match in general and they replied (paraphrasing), "Man, the Smite community need to stop with its toxicity, it's keeping all these players from playing ranked matches." From what he said, I assumed that not a lot of people often play ranked modes compared to the casual modes for whatever reason. Ever since that first ranked match, it encouraged me to play more ranked and then someone had to go and hurt my self-esteem in my fifth ranked match and I never played ranked again in all my three years of playing. Today, I still stick to casual arena & joust with the occasional modes with 5v5 (and/or 4v4, I can't remember) two lane pushing. Even as I was writing this, I'm afraid of the responses I'll get from the Smite community if I even get any at all.
You didn't mention apollo's racer rumble. DISSAPOINTED.
Fenrir! With a top hat. Thats how bad it was lmao
Technically, that was included in Adventures...
It deserves it's own mention.
Also, just wanna say, ***SENPAI NOTICED ME***
Squee
Bro the clash description is 100% spot on lmao
Best Outro Music! Thanks Duke!
The clash mode was so detailed I feel like DukeSloth was trying to get something off his chest.
You forgot the arena players who are just there to farm minions since EVERYBODY ELSE JUST DIES ON THE SIDE LINEZ
Suggetion for next pick video: What your god skin says about you.
I play arena a lot. That’s where I’ve found some of the best people playing this game. Not only have I found the nicest people playing, (everyone in something like joust or clash just yells at me, because I’m not good) but it’s quick, simple, and easiest for me understood.
I only do ranked duel cause I’m tired of people auto locking Loki or people leaving the game because they DIED once or twice.
I love clash but the summary of it is painfully accurate
At last someone who says it without being afraid you are de man!
When u look at your most played gamemode and its arena and yur like "oh no what have i done"
I quite enjoy ranked joust. In my opinion it requires a lot of mechanical skill, and actual tactical target focus throughout the entire game. Like, if you miss a single ability, you could lose the whole teamfight, and the enemy team could get a tower or a bull demon( fire giant for joust ). Snowballing isn't as easy as people might say it is ; if you get to late game with full health tower, being 10/0, you could still lose if you missplay once which makes it quite interesting. You get to learn from your mistakes MORE OFTEN, than in conquest, since everything is so fast paced. I remember getting so angry just because i missed 1 ullr axe that cost the entire game. And yeah, not many people play it and MM is kinda trash. I personally am masters, and after a 12 min queue I could get put againts plats or very bad diamonds, which i don't like at all.
But anyways I'm just a random wannabe proplayer that thinks joust is actually skillworthy and not just a pushover gamemode
Featured in this video: every game mode players get shit on. Nice
Once you've played long enough, you start to voice out "CONQUEST IS THE ONE TRUE MODE, EITHER CONQUEST OR YOU'RE A SCRUB!"
The music at the end is the best part
I used to play conquest only, but I play clash now because I want a lot of fights, don't want to farm / fight creeps and objectives more than other players, and I like quick games
i play clash occasionally because it's not like arena and it's not rly conquest either. It's mostly casual, u get to choose who to blame easily, u get to be sneaky and killsteal easily and it's good for me because i don't want to rely on my teammates at all because i always despise them but sometimes seek for quick help because sumfin goes wrong with megalomaniac tendencies
also i like to ruin friendships/get away from friendships
I hate playing with other people in smite i sit in the party for about 30 minutes and they dont start a match its so annoying
The outro was amazing please keep it
Now to wait for the, "What Your Item Pick Says About You"
Best one yet😂😂😂😂 spot on with siege and clash!!!!
Some of us don't have an hour and a half to sit and become salty towards the end sorry. Arena does that for me but in 18 minutes and it's fun when teammates aren't trash or both teams are equal skill. Assault is also really good like you said . It teaches you to learn new gods (that is if you have UGP). Clash is the way better Joust where 1 trash player won't cause your team to crash (where the uneven player count becomes useful). All these game modes to me are the best. I dip into conquest at times with Athena, Janus or Erlang but the match goes on for way to long and drags out. Clash is capable of that but without farming brutally and risking the chance of dying from a jungler on the way to ADC to save a tower. CRO is either the best damn MOTD or it's the worst.
Assault: I'm everything and I'm nothing.
DukeSloth, maybe you could do a "What your build says about you" the people the build "meta, all crit, all pen, all attack speed, selfish, the support caregiver (auras), full power, meme builder, etc." I think something like this would be super cool to watch and it would not only be funny, but informative to maybe open some eyes to some people including myself? Haha looking forward to your future videos!
The outro had me lmao
Lol as always , im laughing haha.Great videos. :)
I love normal arena and you're right. I only play this game to chill
as a clash main I can attest to the bad builds and salty players, personally I play it because the games tend to be short and at times can be a good place to test builds when you have friends with you
Joust is completely right. I played conquest mainly and even ranked conquest until this season where I found some friends who play Smite and we just play Joust and joke and fuck around so no one ever gets pissed its just fun. Except when the enemy goes for 100% cheese comps.
seige = get stomped or stomp. also for co-op i use it to test a new god, (just bots not with others just so i can mess with things)
You hit the nail on the head with classic joust
Everyone's modes (aside from customs) have been described as salt-lords. 10/10, I am satisfied with this
To be honest i play mostly casual joust but by myself because honestly every time i play conquest i find myself playing a 1 v 5 so playing joust instead of 4 people pushing me down its only 2 players on my back. Plus you know match making placing a lvl 15 against a a plat or diamond doesn't help
i play ranked, co-op and casual conquest because i sometimes feel like i need to train, need to try a build, have fun or am good today so i decide basicaly on that term :D
I just multi-queue Joust/Assault/Clash/Siege nowadays since all of those game modes are quick and fun. Used to play Conquest 80% of the time but I stopped about 4 months ago.
I like Joust because it's quick with getting your build online and usually only takes about 15 minutes. The occasional triple mage is also fun😂
Casual joust: how can you enjoy this with randoms
Me:Anubis main .... Im sorry
Just throwing this out there, but I'd be interested in a "what your conquest position says about you." Seeing the personality traits of solo-laners, junglers, supports, mids and adc's would be cool, if a little redundant at this point
I just enjoy joust because it’s simple and I don’t have to focus that much but what you said is kinda true though.
I actually quite enjoy clash because I like the conquest game mode, but I also like starting with all 3 abilities
Best video ever, DukeSloth.
Another thing that I want to mention is that they should rework clash. It just isn't fun to me, and it doesn't do anything that Hirez promoted it for. Clash was meant to build the gap between Arena and Conquest players, but it never felt anywhere near Conquest to me as people rarely utilized the "jungle", even if they knew how to. Honestly I want Clash to be seen more as a secondary alternative to Conquest instead. I would love to see another 3 lane GM in Smite. With the same aspect of "meet in the middle" however with a wider jungle. It'd be set up one lane straight down the middle and two lanes in an X formation. There will be a jungle between each lane and 2 jungles on either side of the map for objectives. The titan room will be of course mirrored in the middle and will have a spawn like in conquest, with 2 sub lanes connecting to each side lane. Imagine it as sort of a snowflake if my description is hard to imagine.
I main assault since i cant decide which god to pick.. really
