People who think Thor has too many skins should realize that nearly all his skins are terrible sans heavy metal.

HiRez is a business. Businesses primary goal is to make money. Making a Thor skin generates more money than a Chronos skin.

If you want a skin of a god, pay HiRez enough money for it to be more profitable than another skin for a new god or the more popular gods.

Agni mid, Geb support, Rama adc, Thor jungle, and Chaac solo are all the safest gods out of the top picks in each role right now. Just play these until you get a grasp on things again.

Khepri and geb are solid supports. Zhong and zeus are the two strongest mids. Thor is one of the best jungles in the game. Chaac, Bellona, and osiris are solid solo laners.

The retardedness of random Assault aside, you're missing the core problem with this and pretty much all MOBAs: tank/support/dps is and always was absolutely god-awful game design in both MOBAs and MMOs. It's a core game design problem.

No citation, my own thoughts. What MOBAs are successful? The ones that make players complain JUST enough, even though a lot of it is simple fixes.

Do you know how many completely plausible and simple to implement solutions people have made to handle common problems in smite like poor matchmaking, inflated ELO, and improper qualifier placement?

Is it coincidence at all that Bellona, one of the most powerful gods upon release in recent memory also got a skin the very next patch or two? One that, from my perspective, sold quite well despite obviously looking rushed.

Was there a need to nerf HoG and change up the meta so much? No. HiRez shifted it up to keep the meta interesting and from stagnating, said so themselves.

Balance is hard and delicate; however some is more obvious than others. If people get just frustrated/upset enough to get involved with the community by posting on reddit/smgen/whatever else, that's increasing viewer engagement. Stuff that makes the player care WITHOUT driving them away creates a loyalty to the game.

You've got to remember, the people working on this game typically have a college level education. They know how marketing works and how to influence consumers. Nobody would play the optimally balanced MOBA because it would get boring fast, new characters every month or not.

Once again, these are just my thoughts for discussion. I am no marketer, I do not work at HiRez nor at any other MOBA; I can be blatantly wrong about all this.

I don't see how a balanced game that rewards skill in which all gods are viable picks and which removes 'bans' (which is nothing more than a shitty stop-gap for terrible game balance/design) and allows player skill to be rewarded rather than picking OP gods would get stagnant or boring. It's like saying Battlefield gets boring because there's not a new OP gun to abuse every week. Holy shit.

Was more mad because the illusion detonation and I thought he detonated it while he was in my mouth. I didn't think that was possible and was more amazed at it. Reviewing footage now I realized he beads'd it first.

We were also shit-talking eachother all game so it was largely us enjoying a match together. Pleasure responding to you Mr. No-Fun-Allowed.

>>122365748
I can see it, cancerous or not. I don't play LoL or a lot of other popular games, but my friends have told me stories up stories of imbalance and bullshit they find in them; visiting the respective generals confirms as much. I know you don't like it, but a lot of games that are popular do have that problem.

If you want a comparable experience to that perfectly balanced game, play your favorite single-player game on super-hard difficulty 300 times. Did it get repetitive? Do people just keep making the same motions? Are you tired of killing the same enemy time-upon-time again? Sure, you can go through the game using a sniper over an smg to add a bit of replayability, but it'll still lose your attention. MOBAs are one of the only kinds of games purposefully design for you to play 500+ hours.

Andy go to bed. Do your damage control elsewhere.

>>122366129

>I know you don't like it, but a lot of games that are popular do have that problem.
Yes, all MOBAs have that problem because they're all copy/pastes of a Warcraft III mod by talentless hacks who didn't fix the game imbalances that were already present in the Warcraft III engine.

>If you want a comparable experience to that perfectly balanced game, play your favorite single-player game on super-hard difficulty 300 times
>single-player game
You already fucked up. Simply by being multiplayer, it will never be stagnant in the way a single-player game is, ever. Being multiplayer is all it needs. With 70+ gods, you have plenty of variety. The argument that it needs to be imbalanced garbage to not get boring is just fucking baffling to me.

Ok, how about I try a different perspective to try and make it a little less baffling.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxpW2ltDNow

Bartle's taxonomy divides players into certain groups. "Killers" enjoy the broken aspects of the game, and thrive on using them to enjoy more. Weak3n's a prime example, as he constantly BMs other players and has stated before that what he finds funnest about SMITE is abusing the stuff he can until it's nerfed.

The multiplayer solution that you mentioned applies to "Social" players, and this is what lets them thrive. A MOBA's inherent brokenness accommodates to all these kinds of players in different ways:

>Explorers like Krett enjoy the number-crunching and figuring out what's the most optimal with each balance change
>Killers like Weak3n enjoy using these optimal methods to act on achievers who get frustrated easily because they want to do good but can't.
>Achievers like many aspiring-master leaguers here interact with explorers to learn the best ways to accomplish goals like ranking up. "How the fuck do I counter Serqet she's so broken".
>Socializers like many people in the clans feed themselves off of other socializers and interacting with the other 3 categories, while (typically) not being thrown off by the killers.

Congrats, you have a healthy multiplayer game ecosystem that feeds itself and grows with minimal effort on your part; all you have to do is break something every now and then.

>>122366960
>Bartle's taxonomy divides players into certain groups.
I'm well acquainted with Bartle's groups.

>"Killers" enjoy the broken aspects of the game, and thrive on using them to enjoy more
They primarily thrive from affecting the gameplay of others, ie killing them. Exploiting horrible game design glitches is not only not required, it's objectively harmful to the health of the game.
>Weak3n's a prime example, as he constantly BMs other players and has stated before that what he finds funnest about SMITE is abusing the stuff he can until it's nerfed.
He sounds like a complete and total sack of shit who should be banned from any game he plays. He's the equivalent of a virus.

>The multiplayer solution that you mentioned applies to "Social" players, and this is what lets them thrive.
No, the actual differences in gameplay due to different players playing isn't part of the Social player's goals.

>>Explorers like Krett enjoy the number-crunching and figuring out what's the most optimal with each balance change
That's funny. I'm an Explorer and this sounds boring as absolute shit to me. The number crunchers tend to be Killers or Achievers, depending on the game.

>Congrats, you have a healthy multiplayer game ecosystem
No, objectively horrible game design isn't required for an ecosystem.

In a balanced game:
>Explorers would still explore.
>Killers would still find the best ways to kill other players, it's just that those ways wouldn't be exploits or imbalanced game mechanics.
>Achievers would still find the best way to 'beat' the game, it's just that those ways wouldn't be exploits or imbalanced game mechanics.
>Socializers would still use the systems in the game to interact socially with others.

>all you have to do is break something every now and then.
This literally never has to happen for the above to take place.
>shitty game design = good game design
I can't even fathom someone somewhere actually believes this.
>>
>>122365649
>remotely balanced
I actually think Smite is pretty fairly balanced. Obviously some gods are better than others but I've seen low tier gods do very well. And even though Le bans are shit is the dankest SmGen meme they force people to choose gods that they might otherwise not have

Also the
>>Achievers would still find the best way to 'beat' the game, it's just that those ways wouldn't be exploits or imbalanced game mechanics.
point is invalid, as I didn't say they use exploits. I said they'd ask stuff from other plays like how to beat a certain god.
>>
>>122367530
>>You're wrong because you're wrong
I never said that. I showed how your view that shitty design is needed for fun gameplay just simply isn't the case.

>Also the Achievers point is invalid, as I didn't say they use exploits.
I didn't say you did. I just compared it to Killers, as Killers focus on players, and Achievers focus on the game.
