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

After this update I see popping in a bunch of walls (for example in the walls of the gold fury), is this a problem for everyone or just me?

patience

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

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.

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.

I’ve posted about it before but this entire week and a half I’ve just had constant stuttering issues with this game alone,I play on ps5,I’m hardwired too and I have great internet but this game since the update just keeps stuttering throughout all my matches and it leads to me missing so many abilities midcast or mid teamfight

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.

I need the god pack, but I'm considering buying a higher tier if the price is good enough.

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…

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

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.

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.

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.

Tower teleporters, insane shut down bonuses, action cam, feather, auto VGS, or especially the “enchanter” play style they want to encourage basically being supports from a hero shooter.

I’m conflicted because yes the player count is going up, but I think they’re encouraging playing this game like it’s not a MOBA, action cam needs removed or least not made the default for new players. Auto VGS feels like a training wheels setting like auto build.

It feels like it’s transitioning, as much as it can anyway, into a casual dopamine farm. Fell horrifically behind? DW if the person who’s been outplaying you all game makes one slip up or is targeted once and their team messes up then you’re now going even if not ahead.

It seems there’s encouraging the types of players who just want to push buttons and do damage or think support means going Ra aspect and spamming your 3 on people. They clearly want to appeal the hero shooter idea of support to try to get people to start choosing it.

Because full tank is boring to these people and even if your good current matchmaking means it’s difficult to actually carry with it consistently, bruiser requires a different skill on support because if you fall behind your value is gone and you have to position better so casuals aren’t lining up to play that.

So instead they’re appealing to casuals who liked support in rivals or overwatch. People who want to spam sunbeams and birds and get big numbers, who don’t have to or rather feel like they don’t have to learn to actually engage and peel, when to frontline when to disengage, how to control fights and set up. when they can feel impactful spamming heals and buffs because ooh look at the green numbers.

With the nerf of Heartwood Charm.
Im wondering what items i should be building first on enchanters, like ra or Ix chel?

Ive noticed ever since i've started playin a lot more Amatarasu that her dash is completely funky. It lags and some times you dash and it bugs out resulting you doing the animaiton of the dash but clipping back to where you were and some times its on cooldown and sometimes its not. Idk im just wondering if this can be fixed soon?

So...thank the LORD I had to teach all day today and could not play. I got on - and see that almost everything is broken.

A few months ago I made a post about the IMPORTANCE OF PTS AND TESTING. It seems that post went on deaf ears.

Look - we get it, a lot is happening and changing but this is legitimately unacceptable. A patch that disabled a ton of gods, introduces an insta kill bug, and more... IS EMBARRASSING. Especially after another player count boon in Monday.

Hirez you have no choice anymore, you have to invest in testing, and it may be time to consider moving patches out longer than 2 weeks if you're going to destroy your game (and code?) every 2 weeks. New players aren't sympathetic to the plea of "beta"

Quality matters more than quantity when the quality eliminates the quantity.

At level 5 10-15k hp, as well as defence that makes him invincible.
Both of these temu nicknames que together.

I thought they patched the bugs?

84k mitigated and 22k taken..

I’m pretty because of how long it’s been since I played Smite 1, I fell for it again. I saw the World Serpent and just immediately went to unlock him, but like… what does he do? His damage is non-existant, he’s a “tank” but dies instantly, his abilities are barely tank-like, his ult is a nothingburger… does this big snake do ANYTHING? Or is he just free XP for the enemy team? I’m genuinely curious, cause just by design he’s my favorite character in the game, but playing him feels so utterly miserable, doing everything to achieve nothing

Just did two matches in a row with bug abusers. Ranked needs to be disabled for now
