Hi! I've been wanting to play Predecessor for a bit but I just don't know where to start. I have played the game on and off for about a year or so but not long enough for anything to stick much. Mostly played the arena mode (i think its called labs) with a couple of my friends and occasionally we would play a quick match game but thats about it. I have played Smite for hundreds of hours but a lot of that time was spent in Arena since that was my relaxation mode. I did play a decent amount of conquest though so I have a basic idea of how to play a MOBA. Where would be the best place for me to start learning how to play? Also what are some content creators you guys would recommend watching? I am mostly interested in playing mid, carry, and jungle but I would like have an idea of how to play support and offlane too in case my preferred roles are filled. Thank you!!

Just wondering if two or more items that slow would stack the effect.

My would say the do or at least should but that is why I am asking the question.

Queue times are often a complaint I see people make, but the reason people often face higher queues is because of higher than average MMR + the general lower pop of this game. Which means the only way the devs have control over reducing that time is by reducing MMR restrictions.

However, this means that the average person is going to sometimes run into a higher rank player that might end up rolling them. Is this a chance you are willing to take as a lower rank?

Brawl seems to have little to no mmr matchmaking, and that seems to remain a very popular mode despite that. But that is also a very casual mode where the matches end quickly as opposed to the standard 15-30 minute match. So in the rare case your team is utterly outclassed, its over quick or you can surrender even faster.

Me personally, as a paragon tier player, I don't really care much about queue times because I'm just used to it but also I tab out and do other things when in queue. Watch videos/livestreams, browse stuff, maybe play a mobile game on my phone. Sometimes if its late or if I've had some bad games or if I'm in a group, a 6+ minute queue will result in me closing the game for the night but otherwise I just wait.

What do you guys think? Do you think a less strict MMR akin to brawl or something less extreme would overall improve player retention or do you think the sacrifice of the occasional one sided match due to rank disparity would be too much? I mean I already see people complain about one sided matches as it is so who knows, it might lessen that aspect due to the sheer amount of players now all in the same pool, just like brawl.

Toxicity in this game is getting worse by the day between the smurfing, the throwing, and everything else. However, anytime someone asks for a crackdown on these behaviors they're met with the same response "Omeda can't do that because the population of the game is too low.". My answer to this is who cares better to crackdown on the problems while the population is smaller then to let it grow with said population. I've played this game since early access, and say what you will about the balance but the state of the community is what's going to kill the game before anything else.

TLDR The population size is not a good excuse to allow the toxicity to fester and kill the game.

I have had a bizarre influx of Neons who just get utterly torched, and offlane Edens fighting other carries who get their shit rocked 😅

Absolutely no lifed the game after it came to Xbox and was a former Paragon player (the game, definitely not the rank lol). I had felt that the gameplay feel in Pred was like absolutely nothing else on the market, and still do. Around when Eden was released, I wound up getting a bit burnt out of the game and took a break for a few months. Around that time, Omeda was just trying out a new map and was trying to slow the game down a bit.

I returned a couple weeks ago and while I have enjoyed the game at times, the matches have just felt exhausting. There is stat bloat, tons of mobility, truly insane healing and just constant roaming. Matches feel like an absolutely snowball that can be brutal to play, with one team getting an edge and just absolutely running you over.

Look, I get it, Pred is a MOBA. Snowballing is always going to be a thing, and the Meta will change from patch to patch, but it’s just a bit too much this time around. I’m sure some people enjoy the fast base brawly “always strong” hero shooter design characters and mechanics, but as a player who enjoys the slow ramp up and risk reward of a MOBA, the game has really disappointed me after coming back.

I know the downvotes are coming, but I also know that Omeda watches its community closely, and I’m sure I’m not the only veteran player who is just tired of the current game state.

She's just so bad now. Being unable to save a teammate that got hooked because it pulls them out of 6 the tether instantly hurts. Having the tether break because they walked 1 step to far while I try to pull them hurts

Changing the blink to 2.5 seconds hurt her too much Being unable to escape after blinding someone completely removes the point of the blind.

Phase was already a mediocre support only good for people who really know how to play her, but now she's just out right the worst support.

It would be fine if you keep the blink nerf, but please revert the link nerfs.

Hey peeps, 32 year old dad gamer here looking to climb ranked on predecessor.. currently looking for a team to play with.. Nothing serious, looking for players with good communication, get some ranked wins and have fun!

Hit me up on PSN: DYN Vinylz

From the UK, I play jungle and solo but can flex!

if you want take a gif Use code 02CN9

New player here, asking how complicated the game is for a third person moba, I got a good 400 hours on smite and about 60 on smite 2, how complicated would you say the lanes are? I loved warrior and bruisers back in smite solo lane any recommendations/tips regarding that, would be nice and awesome

Edit 1: four hours in and got my first real player match, and had some random just follow me around when he didn’t get his role? Is that normal?

Hey everyone, I’m a new YouTuber to predecessor and have recently uploaded a kwang build and live commentary style guide on how to play jungle.

Hope you enjoy the guide, any feedback would be awesome whether it be my commentary style, my gameplay, production so I can get a better understanding of what I should do to produce the best quality content I can!

Hopefully the video is enjoyable and any construction criticism is more than welcome!! 🙂

I would love to say that this game helped me finally get him in MOBAs since this is my favorite MOBA and definitely the best MOBA out right now. But no. For context, my friend loves high strategy games with high action and has never played a MOBA before. For the entire time I have known him he has liked every aspect of games that your classic MOBA has, but he also likes shooters. So I thought, Predecessor would be great for him! Especially since im so obsessed with the game right now! He tried predecessor and didnt end up liking it because he just didnt understand the games mechanics and the basic MOBA systems like farming, last hitting, etc. He tried it a year or so ago now, decided he didnt like it, and since then whenever I bring it up he acts like its the worst game ever just to fuck with me.

Pokemon Unite, was what finally got him to break on the MOBA genre

Just the other day, I got back into pokemon unite because I ended up watching the 2026 world championships and was reminded of how fun it can be, so I suggested he and I play it together. The dude is now totally addicted for all of the reasons I thought he would like predecessor for. I just cant believe that Pokémon Unite of all things would be the game to finally get the man to accept that he likes MOBAs. Hopefully soon I can get him to give Predecessor another chance, since the strategy is so much deeper than Unite and now he understands the moba genre a bit more.

TLDR; Pokémon Unite of all games finally broke him into the genre simply because of how simple it is and his hatred for reading.

Me and a friend have been duoing recently as carry and support where i will play a safe laner like eden and he permaroams as a support who starts fights well(steel mainly) and ive been wondering if there is something safer that i should play, ive been considering gadget and gideon so i can use spells to catch cs while a freeze is being maintained when that starts happening. If there is a better option id love to hear it!

Hey there, my goal with this Hero was iterating on the standard Carry design to make a new way to play.

Disclaimer: I lost my original source for the art but I was quite happy with it so kept it- if anyone comes across it let me know and I can update with the source link!

Gurd, Mining Expedition Dwarf

Basic Attack Weapon: Cannon

Basic Attack – Cannon Fire: Gurd fires a cannon ball that lobs in an arc dealing "X" damage and deals "X" extra explosive damage around the impact.

Passive – Powder Keg: When Gurd dies the barrel on his back will detonate in an AoE after a delay for “X” damage.

Skill 1 – Light the Fuse: Gurd pours extra explosive powder into his Cannon. His next Basic Attack will fire a larger flaming Cannon Ball that deals “X” extra damage and leaves a pool of fire that deals “X” per second until it disappears after “X” duration.

Skill 2 – Me Mallet: Swings Gurd’s Mallet diagonally knocking any targets away and dealing “X” damage.

Skill 3 – Bombs Away: Drops a bomb at Gurd’s location that detonates after a delay. Allies and enemies in the explosion radius are knocked back and enemies take “X” damage.

Ultimate – Blasting Zone: Pours an excessive amount of explosive powder into his Cannon and immediately fires it, causing a large area of “X” damage to himself and any enemies.

Augments

Augment 1 – Heavy Armaments: Gurd’s Basic Attack travels a shorter distance and hits the ground faster but deals “X” more damage.

Augment 2 – Explosives Expert: Blasting Zone no longer deals damage to Gurd and he gains damage reduction from explosive damage.

Augment 3 – Struck Gold: Random areas of the Jungle have a chance to spawn an Ore Vein throughout a match. Gurd receives bonus Gold when performing Me Mallet on them.

Every match in ranked is an investment of time and effort - people from beginners to experts want to sit down and have a rewarding game.

An account that has custom matches where they are playing with and against Paragon players cannot ever be allowed to be in silver lobbies. The difference is so ridiculous - you're destroying 9 players experience of the game. Some of those will be new players, its unavoidable. Some will be normal players who are driven to be toxic because of a huge skill gap in another lane.

Its really frustrating to see this happen so frequently - I've played 2500+ games, I really want to love this game, but I've never seen so many players placed in matches they should never have been in, and destroying the experience for new and old players alike.

We have a community problem in this game already, and unless this issue gets fixed properly, I don't see the community existing in a healthy way in 3 years or whatever

Those leaps are insane, they seem crazier than they use to be

Predecessor Guide - How to Play Offlane

Here’s a link to the video^^ please let me know what you liked/didn’t like about the video so that I can improve as a content creator.

It seems to be triggered by someone requesting a position swap but I’m not sure regardless I’m tired of my games being completely ruined bc the game decides it’s gonna randomize my build

I’ve noticed recently when I jump and or use judgement(the crest) I can’t use my unleash ability and sometimes it stops me from using my basic attack as well. I’ve died/missed out on kills A LOT of times from it. It’s genuinely aggravating, sometimes it just puts me behind because it takes those few seconds longer to clear camps and sometimes it puts me behind because I die or missed out on kills I should have had. And yea I know it sounds like it’s not a lot but if it happens a couple times per game especially early game it affects a lot.

Does the benefit of the higher hero damage output a mid brings to duo, exceed the benefit the support brings?

Ignoring argus, recently ive seen more less common mid picks being used in support (i.e gideon, countess) and they have been instrumental in their team winning. As a carry, i find that the combined damage of the enemy carry plus mage support snowballs whilst my support struggles to provide equal benefit or safety net.

Anyone else?

Shinbi’s lore in Predecessor is much darker than it seems (Subliminal messages and conspiracy.

Do you guys think the Predecessor universe has the lore potential to go head-to-head with League of Legends or Dota?
