What Smite Became

Many things have changed and changes aren't always great.
My favorite gods, Kali, Wukong (Now Hun Batz), Artemis and Arachne are basically " worthless " you could say, since there are just better gods like the new Wukong, Chronos and Mercury for example. Those are not only good, but more than often also overpowered, which can be quite annoying, yet I managed to win almost every game with my beloved gods.

The jungle changes are the most important and basically changed the whole meta, jungling has always been a kinda sideway thingy, but now it is a fulltime-job. To be honest, I didn't really like the map design at first, it is kinda neat, even tho I still like the oldschool look of the map more. The new Assault mode is basically a joke, since it is simply chaos most of the time and gods with a wombo combo dominate even more than they do in arena. I am happy that they didn't change any parts of the domination gamemode, since this is still pretty fun to play.

When I start smite and play a game of conquest I don't have the feeling that I have when I do the same in League of Legends, it feels more casual, more natural and time tends to fly by, which isn't always good. The community is quite " nice " to say the least. People don't understand what certain things mean, sometimes they don't even want to understand them and simply be the worst person in existance by insulting others for no apparent reason.

Back to the game itself. It is fun. It is casual. It is fun. That's basically all I got to say about the new smite. I miss the times I raged in ranked games, because of my horrible teammates, even tho I tended to never rage ingame, since I didn't want to be banned.. well it happened anyway.

Allied is a great player, so is Wolfy, Jerb was always nice to watch and I even remember Chixy getting started and PonPon showed that he actually is a great Kali, but definitly not as good as me ;). Most of them aren't even as important for new smite players anymore, most of them don't care about the competitive scene or even about livestreams. This is because the game became way too casual.

Those are my 2Cents.
