How do I Chang'e? I know she's been called a "niche" pick before but she seemed fun so I decided to try her outmostly Arena/Joust.Problem is I can't figure out her skill order and if my 2's on CD I'll get destroyed. Any advice?
Normally I try building CD shoes>lifesteal>Shard>Valor if high physical on other team, otherwise Chronos Pen>Soul Reaver/situational.
2hu characters when
honk
>>93273450
you need no lifesteal other than the occasional divine ruin. for per, i prefer shard, because you're constantly slapping people with your 1. save your 2, don't get baited. change prefers modes in this order: conquest>siege>joust>assault>arena
being able without backing is great for solo and you can easily get ahead in both XP and gold

>>93273372

>>93273820
>for per, i prefer shard
for PEN, i prefer SPEAR
>>93273820
>I prefer shard, because you're constantly slapping people with your 1.
Do you mean spear of the Magus then? I had considered that since her 1 has such a low CD, like He Bo's. And yeah i'm not comfortable with conquest because of my toaster's ability to process the map without slowing me down to single digit fps. Thanks though.
Is skill order 4>3>2>1?
>>93274051
4>1>3>2 unless you can't dodge a wrench. with your toaster's condition, this might be true.
>>93273820
>Arena last
What? Chang'e is great in Arena.
Sure, her passive is near useless but she's very good in teamfights and a slippery bitch.
She's the mage with the highest winrate in Arena.
>>93273203
Oh blackMambo you shitter you
>>93273372
>>93273820
it's just shitty twitch chat spam, not a big deal
>>93274293
i didn't mean she isn't good in arena, just not as good in comparison to other modes.arena is all about the burst and chang'e is all about the sustain. the reason she's good in arena is her 2 and her mobility, she can bait a few ults, then stun everyone and have her team clean up
how much did you see of the first game?
also i wanted to play athena second but the enemy picked her first for a 4 gods global presence team

Also, I'm here for build ideas. How to I build Tyr? Also, an actual Ares build would be nice. My current "build" is just a list of all the items that have auras and I make whatever, which results in completely different items each game. Works well enough, but it's a bit of a pain.

wt jw tb are core. the rest are situational, mainly defensive
great items are magis, ancile, sov, boh, witchblade
>ares
you need at least 1 cdr item so you get your ult before their beads. auras are nice, but dont focus on that. witchblade is nice, but if only one is aa based, dont pick it
>>93277382
It was a while ago, when that bug with Serqet/Thor was still around. I was telling the story about how the Thor couldn't do anything but ult, so he did it the whole match, slamming everyone. We all thought he had some weird hack at the time.

Got PrivaTyr from a chest. Well, guess I'm playing Tyr now. Any tips on how to not suck? I keep trying to use my 1 in defensive mode to get behind the enemy and then push them towards our team with the 1 in offensive mode. I keep fucking it up, so I'm starting to doubt it's even a good idea. Is it?
>>93278545
>ancile
Ancile isn't that great especially since it requires stacks, Gem of gaia is a better item to build early if you face magical
>sov
Sov shouldn't be bough if you're not supporting, there are better items for that price.
>boh
Runeforged is a much better physical defense item and I don't think maxing your CDR is that important on Tyr.
>>93281595
>Sov shouldn't be bough if you're not supporting, there are better items for that price.
Speaking of which, what should supports be building now? I heard that sov is back and the 55 protections are nice but the 200 health is abysmal and that midgardian is better.
I just want to stop being blown up as easily as my squishes ;_;
>>93281194
it's possible to use it to reposition during combat, but as initiation they'll see it coming a mile away. get blink and practice blinking then directly turning 180. helps if you've played a lot of neith or vulcan that also use a lot of 180-turning
>>93281595
ancile is great, it gives everything tyr needs, except the one he needs the mostcripple immunity
sog is not needed because tyr has massive sustain during combat
sov is a great item overall, lots of health and protections
boh is bulwark of hope. why would i get BOV if i already have jotunns?
What's the best Lifesteal item to buy on a Fenrir in Arena? Or should I even buy one for him in Arena?
Does Bloodforge work off of Brutalize?
>>93282360
brutalize used to be 4 basics (it could crit AND lifesteal, it was retarded) but no longer. it doesn't trigger basic attack effects. plus, you get a crapton of lifesteal off your 2, use that
>>93281995
>boh is bulwark of hope. why would i get BOV if i already have jotunns?
Got mixed up in acronyms. Gaia is a better item than Bulwark in most situation, it's cheaper gives you more sustain in the form of both MP5 and HP5 (http://www.smitecentral.com/content/articles/page/professor-proxy/professor-proxy-intermediate-class-stone-of-gaia-bulwark-of-hope-pest).
So might be great but you're pretty much wasting the aura as a solo, you're better off buying other defensive items if needed.
>>93272440
Every single hunter got a buff on the PTS. Xbal's the only one who didn't get an attack speed progression buff, but everyone's base attack speed was buffed.
>>93273450
4 > 1 > 3 > 2
>>93283063
xbalanque gets 0 love and buffs why?
>>93281849
Incon has a video up about support season 2 builds. I can't remember his suggestions off the top of my head.
>>93282758
that's a general build, not strictly conquest. if you are in solo and against physical, then yes, your physical protection would be either mm rh or witch (or a combination of those). but tyr doesn't need the sustain for sog. would you buy sog on zhong? the only place where sog on tyr is better than literally any other magical defense item is assault. anywhere else you got healing for days and can buy a few extra mana pots. bulwark gives massive protections and lots of health, along with the passive it makes you near invulnerable to damage
>>93283282
Xbalanque now has the highest base attack speed of every hunter in the game.
>>93282610
Gotcha. Should I level 1 or 2 first,, then?
>>93279632
I had 2100 smiteguru score a few weeks ago, now it's dropped to like 1900.
>tfw I used to be good
>>93283620
And they didn't touch his scaling, so combined with a lack of a steroid he's still a weak carry for conquest.
>>93283708
there are 2 ways to build fenrir. either skill oriented bruiser, where you max your 3 first or an aa based assassin, where you max you 2 first (build for crits). 1 is to be maxed last, use it for the stun or to escape
>>93283993
>>93283620
>Xbalanque
>Base Attack Speed increased from 0.88 to 1
If you notice, that's the most dramatic change to base attack speed of all the hunters. Everyone else's base attack speed buff was marginal and capped at 0.95 at most.
>>93284025
also, if you build assassin, dont use your ult in teamfights unless you need the cc immunity. use it 1v1 for the damage
>>93284025
For Arena, which is the game mode I mostly play, as I hate Jungling but like Fenrir/Arachne and other assasins (I'm wierd I know), I'd probably rather go Bruiser Fenrir.
So the skill list is 3>2>4>1?
>>93284127
>Apollo
>General
>Base Attack Speed increased from 0.9 to 0.95
>Attack Speed per level increased from 1.5% to 1.7%

>Base Attack Speed increased from 0.92 to 0.95
>Attack Speed per level increased from 1.2% to 1.5%
>Xbalanque
>General
>Base Attack Speed increased from 0.88 to 1
it's a flat .12 incresae, versus most .2 or .3
However his increase is 1% stil
So end game he still has a lower total with no steroid.
>>93284437
You mean .12 compared to .03 or .05, right?

>level 20 anhur is 1.21
>level 20 anhur/apollo 1.27
>level 20 cupid is 1.29
LMFAO COMPLETE GARBAGE
what needs to be done to make xbalanque good?
>>93285328
new ult and passive imo
>>93285087
if it's any consolation, item as increase scales off base as. meaning xbal gets 0.3 as from asi, where as apollo gets 0,285
>>93285328
Nothing, he's disgusting now. He no longer has any mana problems, he has attack speed to rival the other hunters now and his steroid with its free power + his passve makes him borderline OP. The people going HUUR DUURR MUH ATTACK SPEED are severely underestimating just how potent he is with that free power.
>>93285690
how does he not have a mana problem?
>>93285513
>>93285690
a change in the ult would be nice, but the only buff he really needs is his 2 to pierce minions, even if it has to be reduced damage like neith's arrow is now or apollo's 1 will be

Blue stone is amazing. Plus its common knowledge that the only thing, THE ONLY THING, that was holding him back was his weak laning phase. But now that blue is gone and clear was nerfed he's able to actually compete in the laning phase and get started properly. He has always been one of the strongest hunters, but because he couldn't keep up in clear he was never picked.
The time of xballer has arrived and you better to be ready.

>level 20 xballer is 1.2
No steroid for attack speed
Flat damage off his passive if he gets 6 kills. He also has 50 flat damage off his 1 at the cost of mana on every attack, not a very likeable option but there
>level 20 anhur is 1.21
No AS steroid. Free penetration on passive. % Damage from enemies in his sand pt
>level 20 anhur/apollo 1.27
Anhur again? Doubles his attack speed after 10 attacks, so you could theoretically multiply his attack speed by 1.33 to determine it's "base". No other steroids.
>level 20 cupid is 1.29
30% attack speed steroid after he dashes. No other steroids
And I never called him garbage, I said he was weak as a conquest carry because of his end game damage not being as high.
>>93286787
>because of his end game damage not being as high.
>Routinely touted as the hardest hitting hunter in the game
>even before season 2
>Late game damage not as high.
>>93286787
Xbalanque's endgame autos are to be feared when he gets his items. Don't forget his darts > dash combo, as well as one of the best utility ults in the game.
>>93287025
Seriously, everyone was saying that if you can get past Xbalanque's shit early-game clear, you have one of the most dominant hunters in the game as it goes on.
>>93286160
He still has other problems, ignoring the steroid I pointed out, his ultimate isn't reliable other than for movement speed and both his offensive abilities can be stopped during the wind up.
Combine those points with his lack of real hard cc and he just falls behind apollo, artemis, even cupid.
>>93287025
Hardest hitting is per hit.
The other carries get off more hits, more consistently.
He has 30 free damage off his passive with 50 free off his 1.
80 damage is really intense, there's no question
But when he is getting off half the attacks of apollo, or even less because he got stunned by anhur or ullr and his damage potential is 0
I know, positioning, dodging, letting tanks tank, pur beads
etc etc etc etc
Any argument to be used that way works both ways, so we'd be talking about a straight one on one between two carries where both of their abilities are up?
He has no hard cc outside his ult which really should never stun anyone who knows what they're doing.
>>93287291
>his ultimate isn't reliable other than for movement speed
>>93287518
Great argument.
I'm talking about in a direct fight. I suppose I could have said that, but on the other hand you could say something actually intelligent.
His ultimate's utility during a teamfight is his strongest offering for a team most people would say, but that has nothing to do with the fact that it really won't stun 9/10 times, which is his lack of cc
Is chronos the worst god in the game? Should i stop taking him mid and take him solo? How am i supposed to play his lategame if i can only do damage for 4 seconds then i have to wait 12 seconds again ?
>>93287864
Chronos is amazing, but you have to tolerate his less-than-stellar early game.
>>93287760
You still get the enemy to stop moving for a second to avoid the stun, so there's still some amount of CC, even if it doesn't use an actual CC.
>>93288142
I'd agree, but they never fixed the glitch where if you press recall at the last second you never have to stop moving
>>93287760
Doesn't Xbal's ult also give him extended attack range?
>>93287760
You seem to think that CC is the be all end all of this game and that this game somehow turned into the hunter 1v1 show instead of a team game. Do you think that because the blind doesn't damage that its useless too? Have you forgotten that his ult also extends his AA range? Have you forgotten that even in a 1v1 situation CC is null because beads are up, or does xbalanque not have his for some reason? Even without a speed steroid his bolas cant be ignored. He hits harder than any other hunter and that attack speed difference wont matter because of the sheer amount of power you get from his passive and bolas. Attack speed steroids are not always the best steroids on a hunter and xblanque is living proof of that.
>>93288287
It does, so in theory he has 4,5 seconds of being able to hit the opponent without them being able to reach them, normally I'd argue that it's kind of a bit too high level for pubs, but this entire argument is theoretical
So yes, with the darkness in a team fight he could pick off the enemy carry without them able to do anything in return without aegis or the likes. I don't really have much of a non bulshit argument about that

what did the coaches say to you in the ts?
Finally got that diamond big baby.
Basically, Xbals strength lies on banking that over time the stronger autos add up to more than the weaker autos hitting more often. 3*7 compared to 5*4, for example (first number being damage, second number being number of hits). Also, remember that crits are multiplicative, and not additive. The extra 30 power from his passive and 50 damage from his bolas may seem like a negligable 80 damage, but remember with Deathbringer that's 200 extra damage on a crit.

>>93288394
Okay back to this
First of, by saying
>Attack speed steroids are not always the best steroids on a hunter and xblanque is living proof of that.
You're self referencing
Ignoring that
Yes, cc is the end all game to hutner 1 v 1 instead of a team game.
And yes that is the situation we're discussing since we're discussing which hunters are better than others. If we move it into teamfight discussion there are too many variables, where it's taking place, which tank each side has, who is fed, etc. Making it 1 v 1 is much easier for comparison
I've already mentioned his 80 free damage, which is me being generous since not only does the 50 damage eat at his mana really damn quickly over the course of a teamfght, but that's assuming he himself has gotten 6 kills by the time the fight happens.
Now let's say both of them land all their auto attacks against each other because cc isn't a factor (beads or what have you). The winner is whoever crits the most with any build other than unicorn. If both players have unicorn, because let's assume the other is anhur or neith, I'd give it to anhur or neith due to
A) Anhur's steroid in the sand pit of 20% damage (let's say 40 free damage, based on a 200 damage build) and 15 penetration
B) Neith due to Unravel heal/debuff
Any other points you want me to cover?
I realize that at the end, this is a team game but comparing how a teamfight can go is just mentally insane, there are just way too many variables.

First game Sylvanus: Good warding, decent pulls/ults, shit positioning, their team spammed ults on me and my team didnt reengage
Second game Geb: Good warding, good skill usage, couldn't comment more because the spectator client was lagging apperently
Third game Athena: good taunts, good ults(which was strange because i never felt like they were on point, team didnt communicate at all)

is that a hi5 or a tittysmack?
also this >>93292043, i'd love access to that. i believe you said something about a tumblr, but you never said name

Swap out for pen boots and that's actually a feasible build for most mages, poor example.
>>93294982
getting spear and shard is pretty pointless
>>93295371
aren't those the only good pen options mages have now though?
>>93295954
percentage pen and protection reduction don't mix well
>inb4 executioner+tb
debuffs dont work on towers, you still need it. that's one of the reasons the unicorn came into play
>>93296102
Shard and spear both do protection reduction. Basically with both you get to ignore 53% of your targets protections, plus 35 penetration. Adding on pen boots takes you to cap pen of 50 in addition to 53% reduction. That's pretty much true damage to damn near everything.
>>93296985
Spear gives both reduction and penetration, Shard only gives penetration
The calculation if you get both is (assuming you have both spear stacks on target):
1. 20% reduction
2. 20 flat reduction
3. 33% penetration
4. 15 flat penetration
>>93292358
That's a titslap.
>>93258039
kek, ojew
>>93297810
So against a target with lets say 200 protections they'll end up with 78.8 protections? But what is the difference between reduction and regular pen?
>>93296985
You really need to see how protections and pen work.
If someone has 100 m.prot
With spear
-20% 80
-20 60
-15 45
55 ignored
With shard
-33% 67
33 ignored
With both
-20% 80
-20 60
-33% 40
-15 25
75 ignored
Up until 200, spear is better (taking in account the extra power and assuming you can keep the spear stacks)
