How to feed efficiently (ENG) [In-depth with PICS]
By Gnagnao
Feeding is an important part of Smite. While you may think it's a thing you want to avoid, it's a sure thing if you want to get cancer.
Especially when going Solo.

This guide was made to provide assistance in achieving the best results in feeding, while preserving the true spirit of the game: believing in the Heart of the Cards.

Setting up your PC and network
So, you basically want to start feeding right now.

Alright, first things first, we'll start with setting up your hardware:

A lot of people play Smite and a lot of games, especially those where you need to aim, with a mouse. That's why they just suck at feeding and don't realize a thing that I thought obvious, but it isn't, that's why I'm writing this guide: play with no mouse at all. If you've got a laptop, use just your stupid useless touchpad to aim, while trying to having it to work while pressing buttons to shoot.
If you, unluckily, still have got those plain and boring and useless pieces of junk called "Desktop" computers (so 90's of you) well... either you detach your mouse at the start of the match, or use a malfunctioning mouse, or even a useless mouse bought by one of your geeky friends/parents or even your geeky self, like a trapeizodal shaped one.

Remember to also have a wacky wi-fi keyboard, which sometimes doesn't get your input. It's also important, especially if you want to let your mates know you're going to feed the way it's meant to be.

Next, to the software part: have you got a really weak computer? Or an average one? That's good: just choose the option "MAXIMUM" and "HIGH" wherever you can. You'll get significantly more input lag and way more fps drop than those random fps drops in GTA V. This will ensure that every shot you will take will surely be a miss, that's it if you'll even be able to shoot at all.
Network plays a big role in this too: if you've got a connection faster than 56k, chances are you're getting little to no lag at all, and you clearly want to avoid it, as it's not pro-feeding. If you don't know how to set-up your network with a cable modem, or can't because you don't even know what's a modem, don't worry: open up nine or ten tabs on Twitch that are streaming, and then start Smite, all while downloading some porn or kid's show: even if your network is still denying your feeding, your computer will probably shutdown in minutes because of overheating.

That's good. We're on the good way to hell.
Find YOUR God
If you're reading this section, chances are you already decided your role: the feeder.
Some gods may be more suited than others at feeding, but remember that it all depends on your skill: no god is better than that one which creates in you the feeding spirit. Just DO IT!

[INSERT DO IT JOKE HERE, IF MISSING, CONTACT FEED SUPPORT]

Now, if you're still new to feeding, or you're trying to get a better feeling of it, you may want to watch HiRez Kelly do her job with Hel (we all love you Kelly) but there is a general rule:

if you've played another MOBA and you find a god that looks similar to that, just play THE SAME WAY. Smite is just another MOBA like LoL and Dota2 and it's unlikely you'll be good with that god, but just stay focused on the thought "I'M GOOD WITH BELLONA BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE RIVEN" and your feeding will be perfect.

If you haven't played a MOBA yet, don't worry, any god will do. Just pick the one you think is the easiest one: there is a 99% chance that it will be either Loki or Nezha or Scylla. You'll be praised by the devils for your work.
The right lane, the right approach
You're still searching for your god? Don't worry, just pick one, because feeding is also a mind's work.
If you want to truly feed and let someone win (excluding your horrible teammates, a mockery of human beings) you'll probably want to play Conquest: don't call a role, grab your keyboard and just smash it on the ground if you need to type something, or use the Russian Keyset, then just pick something totally unrelated at 10secs left and most importantly: DON'T. EVER. COMMUNICATE.

If you feel in need of help in your feeding, you can always go to the Solo lane and try to grab kills or minions. You'll both be underleveled - because you'll then disappear after a kill, get killed in the meanwhile, or just continuosly switch lanes without people noticing it, like a true ninja feeder - and ready to feed.
However, someone could consider this an advanced step.

What you may want to start with is: just pick a random mode, possibly Arena, instalock a god, grab a sandwich, play with only one hand - switching between keyboard and the touchpad, if you prefer - and reach quickly 0-10-0. You should have finished your sandwich by then, so you can either start typing VERY fast V-E-L in this order, or alternatively V-E-R.
This will ensure that senpai will notice you, moreover, a lot of senpais will notice you. Until the end of the match. It will also help you being noticed by other senpais too! Just a reminder: weird people play this game, so you may read the word "report" a lot. Just replace "report" with "notice", because all the senpais on this game are tsundere and just love exactly you and your unique feeder look, and can't help but fall in love with your feedstyle.

A little less working method, but useful if you're in an hurry because you just need to do something while playing is: jump in the game, leave it be until 7 or 8 minutes in the game, then join as nothing happened and just act like you've got all the levels and gold everyone else has got.

You'll shine, baby.

Pro tips and Exploits
Approaching the end, I suggest you to look at the following tips that will ensure not only an optimal feeding experience, but will leave a mark in who you meet:

  • Never, ever, listen to what others say to you. Even if it's a "take this buff" THEY'RE INSULTING YOU. They do not want a feeder, they do not want YOU. They're just discriminating you and as such BE YOURSELF, be who you want to be. Realize that long-lasting dream of becoming Fenrir's meal or Kali's footstool and don't listen to haters.

  • If you're experiencing a sudden loss of feeding, you may still try to harass senpais to notice you, waiting for the feeding. Things like "where are you" or "useless team" or "f6 plz" always succeed to make senpais notice you and will make them desire not only to notice you, but also break your legs on your neck.

  • At the end of the match, don't exit. Enjoy your sudden breath of attention, bathe in your glory, wait for someone to say "uninstall Smite" and then reply "lol".
    Lol actually contains everything they don't want to hear: another MOBA, a mockery, a stupid and old word, a senseless sentence... they will be so mad at you that you may want to kill yourself in an act of overjoy.

I hope this helped you and if you need an even more in-depth guide, just wait for DSP to try it. We all can learn forever on this game, so can you.

May the feed be with you.

Lost interest half way through, not enough feeding pics.

You should know your role, Kudayoru! A feeder usually distracts the enemy and lets you slip a couple of kills in before actually winning the game!

I hope you'll enjoy my "how to suffer silently without killing yourself" in-depth guide! It should include a chapter about an entire team of feeders!
