Just wondering what you guys think about getting HOG 2 early when you jungle?

I know close to none of the "pro" players go for it (except Iraffer).

But I really like the 30 extra seconds taken off the cooldown. And for me it really helps with clear speed and by that making me able to gank a lot more :p

How important are those 300g for you guys and what would you rather use them on?

I used to do it, don't know why I stopped though :P
I think cuz I only use it for the buff camps, and I rely on my support to hog the midcamps.
I'd rather have the extra 300 gold tbh.

Nope, I've always been going HOG 2 early after the 30 sec change. But now I'm thinking about moving away from it (there must be a reason for all the "pro" players not doing it) :P

But if DM does it I guessing he put a lot of time into testing it. Although he can seem like a **** he does not just blab about stuff with no facts to back it up.

I just played a game where I counter jungled a lot and I figured it's good for when you play on counter jungling a lot :P

He is called Bmbrandon for a reason, but anyways I kinda like to have the 300 gold, because I like to snowball from kills and not from jungle farm. If I ever go back to baste and I have 300 gold that I see no better way of spending I will up hog tho.

It's DM, not BM.

Anyways... if the pros aren't getting HoG 2, there's only one reason: it's more efficient to spend the gold elsewhere, or it's not worth the gold early on.

I've seen some pros do it before.

I do it sometimes if I use Loki in conquest. A neat trick with him is to get HoG 2, wait further back in the mid lane, Vanish as you head towards the mid camp and when the mid camp is 1/3-1/4 health, you can HoG and easily escape with the whole 4 seconds of "invisibility" time. If you do it, don't Vanish then wait by the camps because you'll become visible and most likely die :P. Works if I'm jungling or in the mid lane.

HoG 2 is great with a highly mobile god that doesn't have that great of a wave clear. Will make him/her so much more efficient.

But with other gods? Nah, I need movement speed from Boots and potions/mystical might

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
