League isn't as unbalanced as SMITE

Du Ma Mi·Sep 7, 2015·2 votes·3,888 views

Me and a couple of my friends decided to try out smite while our one friend was getting over his low priority queues. It makes me laugh, every league player thinks that "Percent health true damage is too OP, nerf plz rito", and that devourer yi is a "god amongst men", and that riven will fuck your bitch whether she's lesbian or not just because she fucking wants to.

Basically 90% of SMITE's Gods have mobility+hard CC+a silence. Like, well over 3/4 of them. Or they're like Ra and their ult does 700 + 100% of his Magic Damage (Like AP).

Sure, League isn't completely balanced, but I'd rather let Teemo give me an enema than have every champion in the game have a silence, and hard cc, or just flat out unbearable damage.

Yes, some champions are close to this cough Ekko cough, but a lot of the champions are more balanced than you'd think.

You can't just try out a game and decide it's unbalanced that quickly. It's pretty common for a new player to get destroyed no matter how weak the enemy unit is when that person knows how to use it.

You're misunderstanding... I'm not stating that "Ra is OP", or that "Hades is way too unfair, nerf plz". I'm just saying that by observation, every character in that game either has a long-ass silence/stun/slow/other form of cc, or their damage is insane compared to other gods.

Whereas, by League's standpoint, most of the champions have reasonable damage outputs, and only a few actually have silences, and not as many characters have mobility+cc/silence-for-years/high damage as some other games (e.g. SMITE), so the complaints that the LoL balance teams know nothing about their jobs is completely and utterly stupid, and that they're doing a better job of keeping the game balanced than some other games.

I'll admit I don't play smite all that often. But it seems pretty balance. The game is constantly getting balance updates (probably more often than league) oh are probably going into your games with the mentality of playing league!

Uhm dude, that's balanced for SMITE. The thing you don't seem to realize is that League and SMITE are two different games. Just because one thing works in one of them, doesn't mean it'll work for the other. The change in perspective makes a lot of thing possible in the game compared to League's Third Person. I could hardly call it unbalanced when.....Kukulkan can one shot my ass with a well placed 1,3,4 combo from but I can one shot him as Anubis with 2,3,4 combo myself. The game isn't unbalanced when each God practically has the same things at their disposal.

Sure, unbearable damage is a pain - yes. But The unbalanced part of it is that at least half of the champions have hard cc and/or a long-ass silence. As soon as a champion with both of those comes out here everyone rages because they're "Too Overloaded".

Yes, they are different games, but league's mentality is: "Make new champions more overloaded in order to make better plays, who cares if our fanbase doesn't like it."

SMITE's mentality is: "When everyone's broken as fuck, no one will be."

So in itself, I shouldn't be comparing games, you're right. But thinking about SMITE from an LoL player's perspective, it's less of "Wow this game has a lot of different points to it, this will be fun to learn, it's interesting that everyone can silence me for some obscure reason", and more of "Why the fuck isn't my 2 ability going off, I hit it like four times... it's been like four seconds, just fucking DO SOMETHING... now I'm dead, fuck hades, fuck this guy, he's fucking 14/0, fuck this game, I'm going back to league, fuck my life, fuck SMITE."

The thing about Smite is that every champ has CC, mobility and the such and applies it in different manners.

The different means in which the gods do their job is the point of picking characters.

Also, it should be noted that in Smite, every god can do well.

There's no bad picks.

Granted, there are perma-ban gods like Bellona, Sylvanus and Xbalanque.

But other than them, each champ has a chance to shine if you work hard enough for it.

That'd great, and I'd love to see that in League, because - like you said - it allows every champion to shine (or God in SMITE's case). But we don't have that, so from a League perspective, cc on everyone is just flat out stupid, and smite's mentality seems to be

"When everyone is OP, no one will be".

Pretty much every champ made in LoL now-a-days has CC or Mobility or both.

There are gods in smite that don't have mobility or CC or have very small versions of it.

As you mentioned, Ra has neither so, of course, he has to output insane damage.

Then there's Zhong Qui who also has no CC or Mobility and has to make up for it by being a skirmisher mage.

Ah Muzen Cab has very little CC and mobility and doesn't really output damage so much as he does DoT like Cass does.

The roster isn't much different than that of LoL.

True, and I suppose their roster is less than half the size of LoL's champions, so the fact that most of them have even tidbits of cc doesn't mean much, when you think of the number of Gods that will be released without it.

Professional SMITE player here, SMITE right now is currently at its most unbalanced state far more than it has ever been.
