Smite Rant Megathread: Players Unleash Their Frustrations

by

Discussing the issue of character balance in Smite is as intense as the most heated political debates. A user, Painfulpower, questions the game’s equilibrium by saying, “HIREZ seems to lack the knack for balancing this game, KALI being a clear illustration!” Kali often sparks complaints, as players claim her abilities can result in lopsided games where she outplays opponents with limited counterplay options. It’s not just Kali, though; Hercules has also been highlighted as an issue. As one player puts it humorously, “Playing Hercules feels like you’re at a slip-and-slide trying to hit your 1&2.” This mix of wit and frustration effectively depicts the challenges involved in maintaining character balance.

Smite Tanks: Late Game Frustrations and Nuke Fests!

by

Tanks crave glory during late game battles, but frequently become targets for heavy damage that results in explosive situations, leaving a sense of imbalance. As one player put it, “Get too near and you’re wiped out in just 2 seconds by critical hits or mages.” This common complaint among players essentially translates to immense frustration; many tanks feel more like delicate starters for the enemy DPS rather than invincible protectors. In this time when high critical damage and quick magical bursts reign supreme, the tank’s role can often seem reduced to a passive observer. This is especially disheartening when matches extend into tense final stages without an obvious way for tanks to boost their impact.

As a movie reviewer reflecting on my experience, I found it captivating to delve into the intricacies of a relationship with someone who, in retrospect, exhibited narcissistic traits akin to a malignant narcissist.

Asai narrates an instance where his character leaped off a cliff, deployed a glider, but—despite his quick thinking—was mysteriously transported 30 meters away from where he fell due to a glitch. This strange gap between the input and server response not only disturbs the game’s physics, but it also provokes anger. Many players shared this feeling, pointing out instances where enemies or teammates appeared and vanished while standing still, turning what was meant to be a cooperative experience into an unplayable mess instead.
