Rant

This game is a bloody mess of unpolished turds collected together willy-nilly without a care while the sit on their small pile of money they got from overpriced skins and gambling with the RNG functionality of the chest rolls. I've never been this disappointed in HR in a long time ever since the domination of the Double Hunter meta of season 2. Hi-Rez clearly doesn't give a **** about their own game and with this new schedule of how the patches come out, and when the patches go live, it makes the bad patches even more broken and buggy then that claim especially since there were numerous bugs they had to remove not one but TWO gods because of how broken they are mechanically which they said they were going to avoid. If HR got off their ***es and stopped jerking off dogs long enough to make a decent game that can be sustained without having to rely on gambling machines to get their cheap cash then maybe they will get more respect in the MOBA/eSport sphere.

I don't completely agree with the whole "Smite is a joke," sentiment, maybe because I haven't been playing as long as you (started when the Japanese pantheon was brand new and when console was still a full patch behind.) I do think this game has a ton of potential that they aren't exploiting.
I can understand why they do chests and I don't have too much of a problem with them but I do think they could do a lot better about them. For one, they don't need to introduce a new chest for almost every new skin especially if there's already a chest it can fit into and I don't think any chest should contain more than 20 to 25 items. I do think the daily bundles are a step in the right direction.
The bugs are kinda understandable but there should be less of them. They should work a lot harder on updating older models and making sure gods are at least bug free or as close to it as they can.

I like the new dates to patches, it's better to they get time to fix bugs and both, PC and Consoles get it together, removing the feeling (just the feeling) console players had that they were in 2nd plane, but all of this considering they do right things but they didn't.
The game has potencial, but they just don't care. Everything they do is:

Expensive skins and bundles and the (shabby) loot boxes (the chests)
They don't do a single AD to try to make the game popular. I saw one of LoL on Youtube and I thought it was amazing and I started to wonder Smite do the same...
And thankfully they removed Zhong Kui. There was nothing you can do against him on the game. He was tanking and healing himself too much. I do agree with you that is a shame remove a God, but it's better than let him there like nothing is happening.

And until people continuing buying these skins, they won't stop. I never waste a single dollar with it and I won't too because I don't agree with what they do. The only gems I had were the free Gems to login all the week on the game and the reward for my guide here.

Why complain about skins when they are hardly important to gameplay? I understand chests are bad but you don't need to buy them, just buy direct purchase skins or get the daily bundle (which is a great new addition). They do give free gems weekly after all. (And the game is free - which can justify cosmetic microtransactions unlike *cough* Star Wars Battlefront 2 *cough*)

What was dissapointing though was the bugs in the last patch they added, but I think they have fixed it by now. They also need to advertise Smite better.

It's because they are more focused on cosmetics and those exclusive chest skins that add nothing to the game instead of the mechanics of the game itself.

Haven't spent a single penny on this game. Never have, never will.

Which 2 gods were removed?

Zhong and Thanatos were removed because of some bug, never figured out what it was and good for you not spending money when HR clearly doesn't deserve it as it stands right now.

Were they just removed from Conquest? I've seen both today: Than in an assault match and Zhong in an arena one.

Thing is, for me, I've always found reasons to like the game, even with the various issues. I might just be more forgiving of the whole thing, but I don't take too much offense to the game. I do wish certain things were balanced better (from my personal experience, which isn't pro level of course), and I wish there were more options to purchase specific skins rather than rolling for loot boxes, but I've spent almost no money on the game and gotten countless hours of fun out of it. I don't need skins to enjoy the game.

I also don't mind funky metas. I just try to work around it given a specific situation. Given that I played mainly Assault for my first year, I guess that concept is just ingrained in my gameplay process.

FYI, I don't know about Thana, but I do know that was over-healing. Instead of a max 3 enemies he can heal off of, it's basically unlimited to whatever he can hit, which makes him very much OP in ranked, when considered in combination with his recent kit adjustment.

The issue with was the same, something like overhealing. HIs passive lets him heal from gods and minions independently, but it may have been something like killing minions healed you as if you were to kill a god. For his ult, when you fly, the targeter came up before you went up in the air, so it led to janky ult executes. Lastly, sometimes the had infinite range.

Actually, it had to do with his straight up disappearing, meaning no dmg at all, but still going on cooldown.

I'm angry about this patch is so busted because of the bugs that makes certain gods OP as well as other balances changed that do not work and unbalanced the game further. It would be fine if it was like the old scheduling but this new thing HR is testing out makes these garbage patches all the more unbearable because now it takes longer for not only the next patch but people are now dropping the game because of how long it takes these basis patches to take effect. And if this is what every new patch is going to be like from here on out, then it won't be long until others are out as well.

Well i guess thats for the best. When HR loses their income, they'll realise they messed up and maybe we'll see some good changes.

Lets just hope the rights to Smite get sold to a better company that knows how to properly develop a game.

I mean, Realm Royale exists now. They probably got a huge money making plan deals for that. I think it's going the route of Fortnite, in that most if not all resources just get invested in the BR mode with skins and emotes and whatnot for some easy money, while everything else tends to get shoved to the sideline (RiP Fortnite Save the World.. you will kinda be missed.)

I just saw that, doing pretty well from what I saw
