Assault love

Please, pay attention more to this mode this time around. Change up the map, even if it's just rotating a few. Since season 1 of smite 1, we've had 3 map layouts. Make things to fight over like the orbs, meaningful objectives that can turn tides like some kind of buff for the team. Just having healing orbs is fine but it's just mana and hp.

They talked about assault in the recent update video. Apparently they're going to start off by using a modified version of the conquest map for assault, because it would take much longer to make its own unique map.

I think that's fine to start with, and they can make a much better map later on.

I know ill be playing a lot more when theres assault, sucks to wait a bit but will be nice to have at least 50 gods to be randomly chosen from

Same - no time to get into conquest these days, assault is all I've played for the last 2000 or so hours. Won't even launch until then.

Idk how you guys play Assault. I am not hating, just after 1 or 2 games I want to delete Smite. Always seem to have the Worse RNG and get grouped against Insane comps or 5 mans.

When it comes to assault it's more about the experience itself. For me at least. Sure winning is good, but as long as there are no trolls or AFKers, I can have my fun.

It shouldn't be approached with a conquest mindset.

The only real issue I see with assault is that you might get stuck with a "boring" god. Sometimes it happens to me, but it's not so bad.

The fun about assault is the random factor and how you make do with what your team has been dealt with : squishies only team ? 1 or 2 gotta go for bruiser/tank build (ao kuang tank was certainly viable there, dunno how it is now) ;
Physical only ? guess mystical mail could come in handy for the unsuspected magical dmg ;
On the other hand, magical only is fairly rough : might not destroy towers as fast (not sure structures take more dmg if you do full pen magical).
Basically : variety of situations -> adapt your build and looking at what teammates' (if one is getting the teleport relic to a ward, might as well join in if needed, etc) and your opponents' ; plus it's way shorter than conquest and more chill, usually, most likely because people play gods that they may have never picked or tried, good to have some variety (unless teammates always try to give you tank/support gods and you accept, some goddesses and gods are more sought than others)

But, very understandable if some people hate the random factor and thus won't touch that mode.
