In the ever-dynamic and heated discussions around Smite, particularly surrounding the viability of characters in specific roles, a recent discussion revolved around user JackTheSoldier’s opinion-based tier chart of God performances in support roles.

Key Takeaways

  • Gods traditionally not viewed as supports are still held at high esteem by some.
  • Some users contest the ranking of certain Gods, generating vibrant debates about balance and utility within the game.
  • The community remains invested in exchanging ideas and perspectives, contributing to the gaming experience.

Differing Opinions

Despite JackTheSoldier’s intentions to instill a conversational environment, many users like Ok_Shame_5382 countered this with ‘On what planet are Chaac, Tiamat, and ARACHNE more viable supports than Gilgamesh or Odin?’

Surprise Contenders

Suggesting that the tier list may not cater to all, PoolNoodleFan whimsically offered the idea of Neith and Danz as casual support picks, showing that the community can see beyond the conventional meta.

Room for Revision

To further intensify the scrutiny, TheToastyToast proposed a sweeping revision, insisting that half of A tier’s characters were heavily played at the Worlds, and that ‘Cerb and Artio in S doesn’t really feel right.’ He went on, ‘Odin, Morrigan, and Hel should be higher. Those are the biggest changes I’d say.’ But hey, in a world where Jorm support reportedly ‘slams’, maybe it’s about time we reassessed our old judgements.

To wrap it up, it’s clear there’s a great deal of passion within the Smite community for understanding the mechanics and potential of each God. While there are differing views on who deserves the top spot, it’s notable that these disagreements are sparked by a shared love for the game and a mutual respect for its intricate technicalities.
