In one of my siege games, I lost against an Apollo that went 43 / 12 / 10
He even did a Penta (and I was the stupid I gave it to him, after killing my 4 team mates, I tried to kill him 1vs1, I failed by only 1 basic attack).

Oh my god, I'm having a hard time playing anyone but Zeus, lol. He's such a beast. I feel like a total bro when I land charges, turn around and casually walk away and hit 3 and see the kills behind me. lol
And everybody you kill like that hates you so much.

So here's the new Apollo skin that was being ultra hyped:

LOL... oh man the people on Reddit are so salty. It's almost universally hated.
*Edit - Here are some in-game pics. His auto attacks have a thinner projectile, his 2 and ult display the TSM logo, and the chariot is silver.
600 gems.

Judging from the crying on Reddit, it's both. I guess Hi-Rez hyped this skin like crazy, so people thought it was going to be awesome like the latest skins (G.E.B. 1, Dark Whisperer, and Scarlet Coven are all amazing). Instead they got a clan skin that, admittedly, doesn't seem that cool at first glance.
In Hi-Rez's defense, I think it's cool that they honored the winner of the Smite launch tournament with a skin.
I don't have the god pack so I spend my gems on unlocking gods instead of buying skins, so I don't care either way. The childlike outrage on Reddit and Twitter is hilarious though. Kinda like when Dota 2 didn't get Diretide for Halloween and the community had a meltdown of epic proportions. Man I'd hate to be a MOBA video game company, the playerbase is truly one of the worst.
Agreed. It's a neat idea that the winner of their big tournament might be immortalized in the game. I actually hope they do something similar with the next winner as well.

been playing smite for about 2 weeks(whenever i have the time) currently lvl12. Play the game so much I decided to support the studio and buy the ultimate god pack. Favorite character is Neith since she's the one I do best with but I also like using Loki. I'm pretty weak with loki but he's a fun character to use. Now that I own all the gods what gods do you guys recommend who are easy(BUT FUN) to use? thinking of trying out the bee guy when I get home later today.
Really liking Nu Wa a lot. Her ability to push down towers in Siege is great.
Also accidentally picked Agni, which was nice cuz turns out he's really good too!
I found Ra really easy to use. Really strong nukes and a heal.

love it
Used Sobek twice in Conquest and won both times. Had a dude yelling in the second game about how I should have went solo and the AMC that called solo should have went duo with Neith. He kept proclaiming that "that's how the meta works," all while losing his mid lane.
I think some people watch streams too much instead of actually playing and getting to know the heroes and knowing how to adapt.

I use a 360 controller. I find it easier to juke incoming attacks, and attacking myself isn't any harder. Only targeted on hero abilities like Athena's ult are touchy.

That is not how the meta works at all. First off, there should never be two hunters on one team.
Au Kuong is very easy. Just level his 3, the tornados, and place them over the minions and enemy gods. It does a shitload of damage. His Ult is great for running away as well, as it starts behind him. Just drop it in the direction you are running and anything that chases you will get hit.

Mage: Ao Kuang
Hunter: Neith
Assassin: Bastet
Guardian: Ymir
Ao Kuang is great. He has the best wave clear in the game, and does a ton of damage all with one move. Drop Tornadoes on the minions. Drop Tornadoes on your opponents. Drop Tornadoes on buff camps. Drop Tornadoes on everything. You will always be credit to team.
Everyone says Neith is the easiest Hunter, so I'll take their word for it. I actually don't own her so I can't say much.
Bastet is my pick for easiest Assassin because she has a great DoT damage move that is easy to land, and she has an amazing leap that serves as an initiate + escape all in one.
Ymir is rather easy to use as a support. He has a nice stun and a slow, and that's all you need to set up lots of kills for your team.
I don't really play Warriors so I can't recommend one for beginners. Maybe Sun Wukong? He's really good.
Yeah that's really annoying. People spamming "Good Game!" just because nobody picked "top tier" gods. People need to just shut up and play the game.
Neith does solid damage dealer and her leap back is one of the best escapes I've used so far. As long as you don't get blindsided or greedy, you'll be really hard to kill. Her ult is also pretty unfair at the higher levels. Hits any enemy god with vision on him anywhere on the map and does big damage.

Just had something pretty priceless happen.
Was playing Siege (solo queue), up against a full clan.
We were waiting on jungle spawns and I said, be careful sometimes clans like to invade so just watch out.
The Scylla on my team said "There's not a jungler retard". W/e that means, anyways, I said not sure what that has to do with anything but watch out.
Scylla says "I'll believe it when I see it"
Sure enough we got invaded and she was first blood. Didn't even get a jungle buff.

The first Zeus I faced in conquest got fed (I was solo Hades) and that got me to try him.I'm trying Hel now and she has a much steeper learning curve.
I also tried out Siege today. I like it, it's pretty hectic, but I also feel like you have very little room to make mistakes. I also got nothing but bad teams. Actually had one game where I was the only person in left (Hel) vs a Scylla and Ymir. :X Yet somehow I never lost a tower, and right lane lost all of theirs with 4 people... what?

Sobek Solo and duo lane with two Hunters?
In this case, it seems he watched streams too little!
(no, that's not the actual meta)
You don't need to play a lot of moba games to know that rushing into battle solo against 5 players is a bad idea.
It's common sense.
What's the max level in this game?
Playing at low levels is painful.
I'm going like, 20-4 every game and it's boring.
Well, he kept saying that tanks go in solo, that that was the meta. I'm not sure how much of the case that is. Either way, with our line up, I'm pretty sure we went the best route in terms of laning.
I knew my role in that game was to support our other hunter. I mean, it's what I did the previous game as well.

He seems to have a mechanical or artificial design, with several body parts linked by chains, which surprised me because well, the wiki doesn't mention anything like that? A liberal design, in this case.
He has a key in the hand as a weapon, btw, if you look close enough, which makes sense if he is Janus.

Right? All the big Smite streamers are ear bleedingly loud. Lassiz is the worst because he's mostly quiet then has random bursts of shouting. Can't stand it.
Anyway, can't wait to play Janus.

Bahahahaha! I am so happy to see those Warrior nerfs. Poor Odin got nerfed into oblivion, why did they hit him so hard? And Nemesis is definitely better off as an assassin, especially with her ninja skin.

That Draining Blade and Rage nerf hurts my Artemis
At least Nemesis escaped that Warrior debuff by just straight up switching classes.
Build Executioner and gloves, they were buffed. So, one thing in exchange for the other.

Yep, Odin was hit especially hard. I think too much. The attack speed and damage progression, and three abilities nerfed!
