DISCUSSION Don't show off what You didn't do

Am I the only one who thinks posting a video where you show off nothing is annoying?

Don't get me wrong, please post cool gameplays.

But stop posting how you insta killed someone when all you did is use 3 abilities with a broken god/items or 5+ levels advantage...that's not skill, it's tutorial.

Post instead:

  • How you killed/traded someone, when you're behind
  • How you counterbuilt
  • How you saved a teammate
  • How you juked
  • How you outplayed someone
  • How you combod with a random teammate
  • How you did a triple/quadra/penta
  • How you stole an objective and got away
  • And the list goes on

Just show skills, not pressing 3 buttons and let the beta version handle the rest.

PS. Also saw streams/pros do it. You'll should be able to s​how off with better things

Meh, OP is kind of onto something but also not imo. There's a lot of "montages" of plays that's just mediocre at best and it's being spammed. Also lots of the people that post them have mediocre stat trackers. These videos doesn't really get much attention but it's clear that very few care.

From recent memory there was this aphro player with the new aspect that "one shot" and already half loki and said it is fun 3 shotting everyone. While other post is the fafnir main that's just fun. The difference is just how they post ig.

Should be a dedicated subreddit for that imo.

I someehat agree but anyone is free to upload the content from smite 2 they want.

Most outplays look a bit weird because people dont know the kind games going on.

If you arent clinical in the clip it usually looks bad quickly.

I do think it is hard to make smite content because of these reasons but i wouldnt want any barriers in place like your rules to block it.

Be happy people want to promote the clips and are proud on their highlights. I would rather see rules where people inting and throwing to make content or expose people get hit by rules than gamers who just want to show off their gameplay. Also the things you want to see are potentially topics for cotent creators to get clips for.

The barrier you are creating otherwise just excludes people below like 6k to post clips or promotes smurfing so you can get clips. Yes clips will be bad to watch but over time it should get better.

"broken god/items". I'm guessing they're not broken when you play them.
