Evidence to the contrary… Smite seems to be a pretty popular choice these days!
Another ridiculous take – it’s a team game homies! All this strawman Big Bad Smyker talk is giving me a serious case of the willes…
After giving it some more thought I think there is a place for builds in the game that don’t require your average high APM duck dive n’ dodge. Having an ability that helps you circumvent some mechanics in favour of others is a net positive for the game. Sacrificing a bit of self-sufficiency for the team can be a worthwhile trade-off for both parties.
Accessibility and diversity is partly what I’m talking about. A lot of this (oddly personal) Smite hate just smacks to me of elitism and gatekeeping. I’m not saying the ability can’t be improved, but some of the given reasons… yeesh
It’s evident that some players feel like their fun is being encroached upon by others’ builds (see rogue Zealot sentiment for one) but I assure you that the fun you’re missing is but a perspective shift away…
