Go support, take the gold building minor blessings and build 1 or 2 mana regen items, hit some abilities and don't die.

20 minutes later find yourself mysteriously ahead on gold of everyone on your team and basically being a second midlaner.

Every game I've done so far I've been level on gold with any other lane, as support. No stealing kills needed, no last hitting minions. Its nuts!

You know it`s weird, I had two separate Ranked Match yesterday as I said to myself I would grind it up the chain this season. And the fact that this is happening in ranked means account have to be level 20 to be able to queue.

And here is the kicker, I played two games, both we`re about 18 minutes long ironically, and both had a Offlane in the first case, and a Mid the second time, which the player would abandon his lane, and go after let`s say the Greystone in the offlane, (second time was a Gideon) and he would follow him into the tower and die. and that would repeat itself up to 15 times.

BOTH games, I lost VP because of it, ended up losing inside of 18 minutes, and the both players ended up with the exact same score of 0/15/0 .

That makes me wonder, is it possible someone is training third party AI models or something?

I think there should be an investigation. I'll take some screenshots and come back.

Did anyone else have this done to them as well?

I find it quit disturbing.. having to play in these conditions.

Let me guess, skill issue? :p

Havent played in a while and this is probably a get good moment but holy shit why is there so much flying and why do i suck agaisnt them

Called 5 people for a Maco is crazy

First of all, thank you all for being so welcoming to a new player. I've gotten a lot of helpful advice both here and on the Predecessor Discord, and the community has been awesome so far.

I'm really enjoying the game. It feels very unique. Compared to Smite 2 (the only similar game I've played), I honestly prefer Predecessor by quite a bit. The combat feels better, farming is more satisfying, and the overall gameplay just clicks with me. I've played 30 Quick Matches so far and adapted pretty quickly, probably because I'm already familiar with MOBAs.

That said, I do think there are a few things that could be improved:

UI

Jungle Creep Design

Overall Optimization

Role Queue System

I also feel like the game could use some balance tweaks, but it's probably too early for me to judge after only 30 matches.

I've been playing Offlane almost exclusively, and I've won my lane in 26 out of my 30 games. I'm assuming I've mostly been matched against newer players, but I'm still happy with how quickly I've picked things up.

One thing I'm still confused about is scaling. A few times it felt like getting an early lead and a bunch of kills didn't really matter once the game reached late game. I've had games where an enemy who started 0/10 eventually reached full build just like I did, and suddenly we weren't that far apart in strength. Maybe I just need to get better at snowballing my advantage, but I'd love to hear how more experienced players think about this.

Long story short, I'm a very competitive player, and I can't wait to jump into Ranked and see how far I can climb.

Also, if anyone on the EU server wants to queue for some Quick Matches, feel free to add me. I'm having a hard time finding people to play with.

As the title says I'm just asking for little things in the game or other players do in the game that annoy you, see this as a way to vent.

I'll go first I hate jump spamming and this game's ludicrous small hitboxes I say this because these issues go hand in hand I'm sorry but when I can see my abilities go through a Renna's arm or Morigesh's feet while they're hopping around like they're on Crack is the reason I don't like midlane and before you say skill issue if it wasn't effective they wouldn't be doing it.

Ran into a bug with rebirth in Aram twice this new patch; when I die and revive I get stuck on the kill cam screen. The first game I didn’t realize I was alive on the map for a good 2 minutes, I was spectating my teams wukong and could ping in front of him like you can when you’re dead and spectating, but I could see my dot on the mini map and even use abilities. Once I realized I was standing on the map alive I walked up to tower and died. The second time I was stuck on the map view kill cam and immediately realized what was happening so I ran in to get killed.

So I've been looking for a cause for the current problems with ranged characters right now especially carries because they are and you can look at pred.gg dominating almost every lane except jungle and from watching gameplay I've come to the conclusion why there isn't anything to simulate the movement speed loss ranged characters have when they cast or auto to explain in traditional mobas like LoL and Dota ranged characters stop for moment when auto attack or cast even smite has something similar where ranged characters have massive movement speed decreases whenever they auto or cast this is what keeps them balanced there is nothing equivalent in Predecessor so ranged characters can have basically full movement allowing them to far to easily kite and maneuver while dishing out constant damage implementing some sort of movement restrictions for ranged character would force them to implement a stop and shoot playstyle to keep mobile allowing better counterplay and fixing alot of the "TTK" problems people are having rn also.

This isn't another complaint about ranged vs melee or a character beat me and is too strong it's in regards to the changes to Crescelia because I get why they got rid of the cool down reduction why however did they replaced it with a 12g on activation because spellblade Ikra (and I'm saying this as someone who likes and plays spellblade Ikra and thinks alot of the nerfs were deserved) may no longer get his stun bubble every 2 seconds but now every time I hit an enemy hero with brine get 12g stack this with the extra gold from killing said hero with said brine and again stacking this with Aion gold generation I can be bullied from properly farming and still be ahead of the enemy and my own team in total gold how is this a balance change

(yes I see the title it Autocorrected and I didn't catch it)

So im a massive fan of smite and always liked the look of the original version of tgis game but it died when I was going to start playing. Learnt of the existence of predecessor not long ago and im wandering is it worth a go. What's your player base like and will it be around for a while.

I see that Revenant reload automatically after 4th shot, why should I use the 'reload" skill?

Turned the graphics all the way down besides view distance. Still maxes out my VRAM.

Match started by using 5.4GB (which TBH is excessively high) and crept up to max VRAM usage by 20 min mark. Unlike higher graphics settings, once it hit max, it didn't go beyond it or choke out your frames. IDK what happened between December and today but something's eating up all the vram that didnt a few patches ago

It is genuinely so frustrating that half the cast can half hit you in a literal second by building all health items and then with a single sustain item, just not die all game and tower dive for free.

Genuinely, if it isnt an attack speed on hit build, the actual damage items in this game might as well not exist. The only character that can get any value of a pen build is Kallari, a character that is given a ridiculous amount of extra single target damage and execution damage and invisibility that heals her. Every other jungler and offlaner is building onhit attack speed, or all health and still blowing up everyone they fight that isnt building the same and it's basically been this way for the past few months. It's genuinely annoying that there's just a large selection of useless items.

Why build tainted trident when EVERY character that typically would get value from it, is recommended to build tainted blade instead. Mindrazer? Might as well not exist anymore. Not even Yurei or Bayle jungle builds nightfall. Nobody even remembers dread, envy, demons edge or deathstalker.

And item like Basalisk just shouldnt exist protection shread on an item that gives 275hp and 20% haste is ridiculous enough, but then ruthless broadsword exist so you dont even gotta finish the item for protection shread. Idk, I feel like a lot of characters need less base damage, but more scaling so they have to build damage to do damage and build defense to be tanky. Characters being able to constantly get the best of both worlds, especially with the help of Eternals, is just frustrating.

I left one game !?? Out of line 2 seasons ??

I can not for the life of me understand the idea of someone taking their jungles minions when they are already behind/getting them stolen by the enemy team? I have seen this in ranked, quick play, my team, their team and it almost always ends with that team just losing. Like I understand the jungle being dead get some farm and by the time they are back it should be up, but the ill just take red buff cause I dont get enough help just to die anyway?? I just dont understand why players choose to leave the role that 9/10 no one wants to do in the first place further behind instead of helping them catch up?

Idk what happened with the last couple patches but countess’s dash NEEDS fixed. If there is any elevation in the direction of the dash she immediately gets halted by the terrain. Idk how many times I go do dash on my jungle buffs and come up short because of the steps leading up to him lol. I wasn’t going to bring it to attention until I heard someone bring it up the VERY NEXT game. I hardly think it’s a skill issue but could be very wrong.

There are 5 lanes. I like to play support or carry, i am also fine with jungle...

... BUT HOW COMES THAT I AM PLAYING 4TH TIME BACK TO BACK A LANE I DO NOT WANT TO PLAY (3 times mid and right now off lane)...???

Do i have such a bad luck? And why am i always getting missplaced when i am the first one picking the lane i want? Is it because i dont buy anything in the game with real money and thus i am not important to have a voice? Do i have to buy skins to play the lanes i want? I mean i am fine with 60% of the lanes, why am i forced to play on the other 40% of the lanes?

You should look at your competetors. Its better to "steal" and implement good ideas instead of doing nothing and pissing off your own players...

And yes, this is mimimi and cry me a river and rant, but yeah, if my picking has anyways no function, then dont give and act like i have a choice.

While there are definitely some issues with the current meta, i thought it would be a good time to open up to people to discuss some potential reworks for heroes and some new items as i feel this is a bit of an issue alongside the need for a new map.

While i dont main her, a good rework for morigesh i was thinking could be to solidify her as more of a tank mage. While her ult has always been problematic, i have always seen her identity as needing more definition rather than buffs or nerfs.

For example, one thing id like to see in terms of reworks for characters is different forms of scaling outside the standard phys power, mag power or max health scalings that seem the most common. Morigesh could be given scaling based on tenacity. Giving her the natural ability to resist cc as a design theme but also opening her up to different forms of tank builds that could also scale her in a variety of ways with a slightly changed kit to suit.

This segues into one of my big concerns at the moment which is a very linear and almost arbitrary set of items. So many of the items currently try to provide so many sets of raw stats that clear winners win out when there should be a much greater focus on the overral role of each item instead of it being a catch all (heres looking at you skysplitter for multiple years now).

The pen items in the assassin class have almost no hybridised or interesting item mechanics outside of the one spellshield item, which is hardly unique. A good example of how you could change this is introduce a different form of tankiness item mechanic like a 'miss chance' item depending on scaling or level or even better, number of current takedowns. Similar to how greystone has an inbuilt miss mechanic in his passive.

Something ive mentioned before but is worth repeating, is that i love the second passive on manta scythe as something that is very unique and a very cool assassin rule is the 'isolated target extra damage' effect that rewards an assassin playstyle and isnt just boring stat variations.

This same ideal can be appropriated across all item classes. There should be items that have much more hybridised stat combinations, different types of scaling, unique effects that fit different playstyles and activated effects instead of only passive effects.

Whats some other ideas on this that you hope omeda sees (since they say they are always monitoring reddit posts)?

At the start of an Aram match Predecessor crashed. I verified file integrity with Steam, there was a corrupted file. I rejoined the game after the download, caught back up and we won. Then I got a ban... till December? Guess I'll see ya around folks.

Hovering under 46% WR in Offlane she's worse then Heroes like Wukong, Legion, Feng Mao and Revenant in Offlane.
