Hou Yi
    Suntouched - Passive

    After taking a critical hit, Hou Yi can’t be critically hit again for 3s.

    Ricochet

    Hou Yi draws back his bow for a powerful shot that deals 70/110/150/190/230 +60% of his Physical Power as damage. After firing, if this arrow bounces off of a wall it gains +70 units distance and +50% bonus damage per bounce up to a maximum of 3 bounces. This arrow will stun for 1s if the target has Mark of the Golden Crow. Cost: 60/65/70/75/80. Cooldown: 14s.

    Mark of the Golden Crow

    Hou Yi marks an enemy with Mark of the Golden Crow. Marked enemies take extra damage for every 10% of their missing health from Hou Yi’s abilities and basic attacks. At rank 3, marked enemies are visible to Hou Yi on the minimap including stealthed gods. At rank 5, Hou Yi gains +15% penetration against the marked enemy god. Cost: 50. Cooldown: 18s.

    Divebomb

    Hou Yi launches into the air, holding his bow above his head as he glides forward. After a short time Hou Yi quickly dives to the ground dealing 70/110/150/190/230 +30% of his physical power as damage to any enemies in the immediate area. If the target has Mark of the Golden Crow they are knocked back. Cost: 70/75/80/85/90. Cooldown: 15s.

    Sunbreaker

    Hou Yi shoots nine arrows into the sky, striking one sun with each arrow. The nine suns come crashing down one by one, dealing 80/90/100/110/120 +25% of his physical damage in a target area every 0.5s for 4.5s. A target with Mark of the Golden Crow will have their movement speed slowed by 20% for .25s on every hit.

Gods - Balance/Updates/Fixes

Anhur
    Shifting Sands

    Bonus damage is no longer removed from targets immune to the slow effect.

Ao Kuang
    King of the Eastern Seas

    Fixed passive not consuming energy from using this ability.
    Updated tooltip to reflect that he replenishes his passive meter after landing from Dragon form.

Awilix
    Awilix gets a number of fixes in this patch, as well as some dramatic improvements to Moonlight Charge.
    Summon Suku

    Fixed the strafe movement penalty not applying to Suku while jumping.

    Feather Step

    Fixed where this ability would become available after using certain active items.
    Fixed the area of effect ground targeter incorrectly showing after using an ability.

    Moonlight Charge

    Increased Suku run speed by 50%.
    Fixed an issue where Suku was not filling up the entire targeting area, causing him to miss targets he should have hit.
    Suku will now knock up enemies hit from the side, as well as from the back.
    Fixed an issue where this ability wasn’t properly caching the players aim direction, creating a delay in where Suku charged versus where the player was aiming.

    Gravity Surge

    Fixed not being able to pull Chaac while dashing with Torrent.
    Fixed the ability not going on cooldown if immediately interrupted.

Bakasura
    Reguitate

    Anvil of Dawn

    Fixed an interaction issue with Serqet’s Last Breath that would cause his basic attacks to use Anvil of Dawn instead. Whoa.

    Fixed being able to cancel early and not taking cooldown or mana costs.

Ymir
    General

    Updated the Obsidian Shard icon.

The optimistic answer is that they are waiting for the SWC to end.

The pessimistic answer is that they have no clue as to what/who needs balancing and where because their balance team is a bit ****.

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.
