Why Playing Support in Smite 2 Feels Like a Tough Job: Players Share Their Gripes
In Smite 2, the primary concern with the support role centers around its vulnerability, or “squishiness.” As The_Pandemonium points out, players often find themselves taking significant damage from enemies, even when fully armored with protections. It’s much like turning up for a sword fight in a bubble suit – you might feel secure, but you’re also an easy target! If a support player falls behind during the initial skirmish phase, it significantly undermines their ability to play a defensive role effectively. This can leave even skilled support players in trouble, especially when the opposing team starts amassing power potions. The general sentiment among players is that there’s an issue with survivability, leading to calls for adjustments in the game mechanics and item choices.
