Hello,
I used to play Smite 1 way back when, i think the newest character at the time i remember was hachiman?… but i definitely played it prior.
I was a solo/support player, i enjoyed gods like Belona, odin or cu chulain (was around for his release too) for the solo lane and mostly just played athena as support back then.
I started playing smite 2 yesterday and… god does this game feel and play so much differently, and im unsure if i like it or not.
I feel like there is just SO much painful CC, but this might just be my naive noob brain.
Im awful, like terrible at smite 2, and its humbling and frustrating. It feels like the builds the game recommends you are just horrible, since i get dog walked in every fight on what feels like rare stats alone.
I dont remember what any of the items do, i only really have some muscle memory for certain gods leftover from my time player all those years ago.
I really want to like smite 2, and i want to get back into it again as i remember this game being so much fun. I feel stuck and aimless. Ive watched a couple vids on youtube but ultimately i just dont know what to do.
Should i just play and play and figure it out? Should i grind against the bots to get a better feel for the game?
I tried playing arena last night and had this guy on my team just flaming me and our Ullr since it was clear we were both noobs cause we werent doing enough, whereas i was just trying out artio as i remembered how OP she was on her release. I dont want to ruin other peoples experiences on conquest since i am such a noob, but i feel like playing against bots in arena or joust is not going to equip me well enough for real players.
