Am I wrong for hating crit items/builds?

I hate crit items and/or builds. I simply hate them. When I see someone bulding crit items, I already label the person as an unexperienced/troll player.

Sure, there are some assassins (, and ) and some hunters (, and some other few) that benefit from crit items/builds, but crit isn’t always the best choice, even for these gods.

I can’t understand the NEED some people have to build crit on EVERY ******* PHYSICAL GOD! No, doesn’t work with crit, and doesn’t either. And don’t get me started about .

Am I wrong thinking like this? Is crit always viable for some gods? When sould I build crit and when should I build penetration?

For , I would disagree. Crit on is essential. You will almost always build crit.

"When sould I build crit and when should I build penetration?" - For hunters? Depends on team comp. Also depends on smaller things like attack speed steroids, if you have a steroid you would prefer builds that don't overcap attack speed when your steroid is active, and can also depend on if you're an ability based hunter or not (or a hybrid, like AMC/Hou Yi). But usually you're building crit against squishier comps with less tanks and you're focusing on the enemy adc more than the frontline, you go qins build against tankier comps and avoiding direct boxing with the enemy adc if they're building crit.

"No, Neith doesn’t work with crit" - actually she can, it's just not optimal for her and other hunters can do it better, especially as ability based hunters fall off lategame. Nemesis can work with crit but again not great on her. Of course crit on Loki is a terrible idea.

As Mercury you want crit in 90% of your games. I've seen 1 or 2 pros go a more bruiser build on him with perhaps 1 crit item like Rage (think it was CaptainTwig) but thats about it.

Kriega said what I was going to, but I'll add that I never build crit on warriors and it really annoys me when I see my teammates do it.

Oh, and you should always build penetration: what type you build after flat pen depends on the god/goddess you're playing: assassins tend to go with while hunters use either or .

To be honest, healers and supports can get away with not building pen.

True, but I still build on guardians. I also usually build some type of pen on healers, like or depending upon the matchup.

Crit can be viable on certain gods, like the ones you mentioned. I'd guess that people who don't fully understand how building works in Smite just think that since you'll still be basic attacking, giving yourself a bit of chance to do extra damage has to be the right way to go.

When I'm playing with an AA based god like , oopss, I build it. But in other situations I also hate it mainly on my .

I guess people become fascinated when they see that 500 critical hit appearing in their screen :v

500 against squishies, 10 against tanks lol.
