Albeit on his decoy, but it's something at least.

Not too happy about Bakasura and Ao Kuang getting buffs. They seem strong enough already to be honest.

Bastet's getting a well needed buff also, which is great since she sucks balls right now.

Honestly, I see her as the worst AD God.

Today's MOTD was just a slaughter fest for Bastet's, I literally jumped at the chance to attack her every time, and 9/10, I'd kill her ***.

She doesn't suck balls. Her leap is easily the best in the game and she is powerful early on. I've seen her used to such effectiveness in tournies that she became MVP and got respect banned. She's unconventional for a reason (falls off late game and bad ult after 15 mins) but she can be very dangerous earlier in the game in the hands of a skilled user. Think of her like Arachne, who is in much the same boat, except her ult is always good.

As for the Loki nerf, I'm not too sure I like it. Then again, Loki is one of my all-time faves. As long as he can still fulfill his job it's not too bad I guess. I'm more worried that there's such a large number of buffs and nerfs in a single patch. I have a very big fear they will mess something up bad, even before considering Thanatos himself.

In all honesty, whether Bastet's leap is the best in the game is definitely arguable. I mean, the return mechanic is definitely really good, and incredibly fun, and it allows you to hopefully assassinate someone then immediately jump back out, but on the other hand, it's so slow that you'd have to be blind to not see her coming. Due to it being so slow, it allows for easy counter-attack from enemies, causing Bastet to need to jump back out almost immediately after landing. And it's not like she has any assassin qualities other than that one leap either.

Also, I feel like they nerfed the wrong thing on Loki. He definitely needed a decrease on the damage of decoy early game to slow down his jungle clear times and to also take more damage so his ganks are a lot more riskier, but make it stay the same late game so he can still efficiently farm. They just nerfed the overall damage which I feel like it was the wrong decision.

The nerf on Loki was not related at all with his jungling. Decoy was too good for solo laning, Loki used no efford to farm the whole wave while staying in the back completely safe. When people jungle Loki, they don't level decoy first, not even second, because he can clear fast enough with the rest of the skills and his high base damage. His ganks are scary because of the rest of his kit not because of decoy damage.

He was just too good too easy too rewarding and safe for a solo laner.

Hmm, I very rarely see him solo laning, and always jungling. I suppose what you say definitely makes sense... and probably is the real reason.

Well I see him 90% in the solo lane, only not when I'm jugling him :D But my friend plays him exclusively, rank 10 and all that, usually carrying the games and he is always solo laning. He even says that it's too cheezy :D Oh, and this is something that Erez said on stream last night, that it's regarding his solo laning being too good. I also second the nerf, though I love playing Loki, he had too much for an assassin of his type.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
