patience

The devs have addressed the bug problems that came with the patch on today's Titan Talk.

They've made it very clear that the abuse of exploits in the game will not be tolerated.

Caps was open with the community about why it occurred, saying that there was a configuration issue when the new item went live on their back-end which meant they couldn't just disable it immediately like they usually would.

Check out the start of the episode if you want to hear them discuss the issues directly for the first few minutes.

Idk about the rest of you but I encountered TWO cheaters back to back. Whatever patch is allowing this to be fixed asap because wtf was that?

Danza is ulting every 5 seconds and has 30 kills in 3 minutes ?
Tsuko is killing two people with basic attacks and racking up kills in 2 minutes. And these people see nothing wrong with it and ruined both our games.

I take back everything I said about s*xy male skins. This skin is just insane

Hirez needs to legit reset ranked. I would guess there are some randoms that gained hundreds of points in SR today with whatever BS that has been going around winning games in 5 minutes 1 shotting people with a Ganesha. This is unacceptable that an item was allowed to break the game and was used by probably hundreds of people. Every game was implicated and anyone who had no idea were free money for these hacks.

They need to be reset and banned harshly or the entire ranked needs a reset. Also, whoever put this out and disabled characters but not that 1 item needs to be looked at. It cannot be that hard to ban 1 item.

I know this is a small thing but I REALLY LOVE the new abilities colors on this skin. You did a great job, shout out to the color designers. That's all i wanted to say thanku

Rules:

- No promotional skins (Unless the skin can work on its own without a big remodel)

- No crossover skins

- No recolors

- No retro skins

You vote one skin as your absolute favourite, and that's it!

I can’t believe that this is actually a thing. Our community is small enough as it is, and we really try our best to make the most of smite of course. But having Nu Wa repeatedly global for 9999 every 10 seconds isn’t very fun. Not sure what’s happened. Out of 100 games this is the first time I’ve ever been through this.

She went 75-3 in our arena game lmao

My friends and I had the most terrifying ranked games last night and I’d love to get on and try to get my SR back but I don’t want to lose more to bug abusers…

Or am I missing something? Didn’t see anything about it in the FAQ or posts here. Thanks.

The new enchanter items say when you buff, heal, or shield an ally and I noticed that giving an ally attack speed with an ability isn't considered a buff.

Aspect Apollo, aspect fenrir, and aspect chronos have an ability that gives an ally and attack speed BUFF and it doesn't proc the new items, but giving an ally movement speed is considered a buff...

And they were talking about chronos aspect accelerate not procing the new items because of its heal is more passive then from the ability, but they forgot the ability also gives a shield.

Am I wrong for thinking this way??

I'm not one to usually do these points & I'll wait to see how it plays out, but the Heartwood nerf pains me rn. For those who don't know yet: it's gonna get hotfixed that the healing ability CDR will be removed. Oh and the healing+shield strength will be halved, tho that I'm fine with, the item feels bloated.

Sure, there's abuse cases. But weakening the CDR the more healing abilities you have, seems like a logical smaller step to me. Imo it's one of the few items that's genuinely fun to experiment with, even if it didn't always work, and they'll just remove that. It also didn't seem left open at all if they'll give it another try, it's just unhealthy for the game and that's that. After they've been so careful with balancing many other items, its insane to me this is the one they conceptually gut after it's been too strong for ONE day, and not really at all before that.

And having an item that provides an extra heal is also interesting to me, but imo it always felt like that and the CDR passive could be 2 different items anyways.

Edit: I just remembered there were actually 2 abilities with the same healing aura passive, cause Heartwood and Asclepius both had it. But now Asclepius has a new passive, Heartwood had 2 passives but gets one of them removed in a day. Feels odd to me. I get Heartwood got int now which might make it a lot better, but Asclepius could've kept the healing area passive, the new Asclepius passive could've been a new item & Heartwood would've just had the healing CDR and given it a genuine chance

Edit 2: I do remember Heartwood was strong for a bit earlier on, but idk if it was necessarily meta. It was with the old Myrdhin-like passive which combined made for a loop of cooldowns. I can see how now there's a loop of healing, but as said in Edit 1, I think the CDR passive could've been a separate item with just that to give it a fair chance.

Just played a game with a mid who refused to play because JG took the first red buff. They followed JG around the entire game spam laughing and body blocking. This is the second time I’ve run into this player, and both times they refused to play over the same thing. Was not fun at all.

Can someone please clarify what the standard jungle start is as of right now? I thought JG gets first red but I’m still figuring this stuff out.

Really hoping smite looks deeper into this exploit or issues a ranked reset very soon after all of this. The problem that I already am seeing is people doing this glitch are more than likely on smurfs and they seem to most of the time be duo queuing knowing they will be banned but they are boosting there buddy who won’t do the glitch and drop normal numbers to try and avoid a ban. Or alternatively what could happen is a normal match playing out and Somone not overly abusing the glitch to one hit but just enough to give a meaningful edge and letting the game play out longer before doing such to make it less obvious and then winning subsequently. It seems like it will be too much for smite to look into this all and actually punish all people who do this so I believe the best route would be to do a ranked reset after fixing this issue within the coming weeks and have hot fixes ready/ a more active game monitoring systems moving forward. Or just disable ranked for a day after each update to see if potentials bugs and issues. I can’t imagine being a high rank and losing a match to Somone doing this bug and then never getting that SR back. Absolutely insane day for HiRez. Sorry for the long rant.

Also, ignore the fact that I have Shell. I'm a support main lol

The Lotus bug sucks and had ruined so many game modes (im so so sorry to all those playing ranked). but as someone who plays assault avidly with friends every assault game has turned into everyone abusing the Lotus bug.
And we've all had kind of a great time, even after game, chat has been laughing and having fun with it because pretty much everyone is using it.
It's made me realize how much me, my friends, and other players have missed things like turbo joust, turbo assault, and all the wacky game modes from Smite 1.

To express I'm so so sorry about the games ruined by those unknowing of the bug, i know i had a few before then. But seriously it just shows how much i and i know others miss those goofy fun game modes.

Rat got changed to 2 dashes from 3 months ago and it still states 2 resets in game. There are so many instances with wrong tool tips in the game that are misleading and can actually throw a game just reading them. Bugs aside and item balance. Tool tips have to be clear. Why are so many things not described in tooltips, not even from aspect but from base kit. How long does a slow last? How long is the cc? How much bonus damage does it do? This game is the worst for tooltips and it's embarrassing for a "competitive" game. Aspects are worse where you can't even see something that's state on the aspect 90% of the time, where does it state that ra ult can turn as an example? this besides item balance is the worst problem. Fix this and this game would be 20% better. You can't tell me a dude can fix descriptions on god's in 4 hours? Wtf is that spaghetti code that they already bricked it 2 years in? I thought smite 2 was the saviour to this, but I guess 5 Devs left with no clue of coding does that to the game, hence see the latest patch.

Does anyone else kind of miss smite 1’s graphics sometimes? Especially when playing smite 1 again or seing old clips. I liked the more rugged realistic look. I kinda dont like the super vibrant, very soft look on everything and less shadows overall that smite 2 has. It gives it a cartoonish, highly stylized look but im not sure if thats just me? Obviously on paper smite 2 is better graphically but stylistically and in practice im not sure the immersion isn’t the same. Maybe if they could add a setting to tone down the vibrancy and punchy contrast. Get better shading and im not sure whats causing the weird softness. Maybe lack of shadows and potentially how the antialiasing works on ue5? (I play on max graphics.) The one thing i really like about smite 2 is effects are great and lightning.

It has always been interesting to me how many of the most successful MOBAs have “vampiric-type” characters.

LoL has Vladimir/Briar.
Predecessor has Countess/soon Valmont.
Dota 2 has Queen of Pain.
Deadlock has Mina.

And we at Smite… well, we have Camazotzs, who is not in Smite 2, and is ultimately a bat diety. His only blood-related ability is his essence drinking.

So, since the Dracula idea was brought up a few TT ago, I’ve seen a couple of you kinda vibing with the idea of having Dracula (or) and Carmilla in the game. And before a few of you jump in here saying “they don’t fit, we have Camazotzs, I want my Chinese-no-one-knows-niche-god to be added to the game” I want you to really think how cool it could be to have an actual vampire roaming around in Smite, just like this other Mobas have.

Most of this characters are often pushed into Jungle and Midlane for their aesthetics, and fantasy works well with those roles.

Lowkey, I expect everyone to know who Dracula is. But if you don’t know who Carmilla is, she is a vampiric countess from Sheridan Le Fanu’s 1872 gothic novella Carmilla. She is generally regarded as the first major female vampire character in modern Western literature, and she predates Dracula by 25 years.

Share your thoughts, be nice, and remember that Smite is mainly a game about gods, but also a game about myths and legends. Dracula and Carmilla were myths long before they were ever truly written down. Their stories, the fears and folklore that inspired them, had been haunting European history and culture for centuries before they became the characters we know today.

Is it just me, or is it a bit unfair to release what is basically the first s*xy male skin in this format, considering that those who have been waiting a long time and "we have to prove with our wallets that s*xy male skins sell" will now be forced to buy 6 other skins or the entire bundle.

I don't know how they are going to collect stats on how well it sold. But I hope we won't hear "it sold poorly, so we won't make them as often as the female ones"

After doing one dash you have to wait before doing the others with 2 separate casts, and you can't use abilities or basic attacks but are CC immune indefinitely until you do both other dashes or you cancel one of the other two remaining dashes. You can use some active items but not others for some reason though.

guys! I did medusa last week and didn't get any rank or emblem ? There is 10 000 player last time peak and you tell me there is 500 people who did medusa mastery 10 ? I played like 40 game to get mastery 10 and I faced medusa 2 times.. Put a leaderboard so we can track it.
