Favorite game mode? :: SmiteFire

Forum » General Discussion » Favorite game mode? 22 posts - page 1 of 3

I played Arena once when it came out and immediately hated it. Totally stupid. I played domination a couple of times but it gets boring really quickly. I kept thinking none of these modes are necessary, conquest is perfect, nothing could ever be better than conquest.

But I was wrong. Ever since Assault came out, I have barely played conquest, maybe two games. I've been playing nothing but assault. Assault takes the highlight of conquest, the late game team fights, and puts you right into doing nothing but that from the beginning to the end. I love it.

Not only that but I like the shortness. I can ALWAYS play assault. Too many conquest games go on for over an hour, I don't always have that kind of time.

Futhermore the shortness helps you move onto the next game quick if there's a problem. One of the things I hate about conquest is people who insist on not surrendering even when the outcomes is blatantly obvious (I know this is not a popular sentiment around here). But there's a certain point you know the game is one sided.

If I just want to play a game for fun (without any tryharding or crybabies) Assault or Arena is my choice.

But I still think Conquest is the best gamemode for when you want to play a good game (helps to play with some friends). :P

But Assault is awesome for new player s to learn new gods :D

As long as you have friends to play with, all game modes are good....well except Domination--which I believe they are changing. If I had to pick a favorite though, solo q would be assault and with friends definitely conquest.

While I enjoy playing every single game mode, you will most often find me in arena.

It's short, focuses on teamfights, and you're not trapped in a small lane with no ability to return to the base. I couldn't ask for a better game mode.

I personally find Domination to be the most fun. The problem people have with this mode is that often, teams are not evenly matched from a strategic point of view. Domination is more about strategy than simply overpowering your enemy (although having a level/gold advantage certainly helps).

Often, I see teams, either mine or the enemy, make one of the following mistakes.
-Split into three groups in the beginning.
-Continually attack a heavily-guarded obelisk and fail repeatedly.
-Leave obelisks completely unguarded while quick-capping enemy gods are prowling around.
-Try to go for 3-caps when your team really needs to play defense.
-And just overall failure to coordinate offense.

If teams are evenly matched, Domination is very fun, and I've had many close games. But if one team doesn't know what they're doing, the score usually ends up being very lopsided.

Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

Arena > Assault > MOTD (I generally like most) > Conquest or Domination
I hate conquest, too long games and too slow. Never played domination, don't know why. I like assault and arena because everything is ridiculously fast paced. Everything is a kill. I like Player versus player, not player versus minions until 15 minutes into the game

Conquest>Arena>Domination>Assault

Conquest is the most fun since it's a long game.
Meanwhile, arena is kinda nice with the teamfights
Domination is kinda hard to play in solo q since many people makes mistakes like sunfall said
I'm starting to like assault. I likeD it but it gets kinda annoying because sometimes teammate don't help. The other problem are some gods are too OP in this game mode like anyone with heal. The third problems, I kept getting these two F***ing gods : Poseidon and Vamana
