ITEM BALANCE

Assault

"Stacking items is something we usually remove in Assault to prevent frustration and toxicity. However, these items can be stacked without last hitting minions, and could really help benefit teams in this game mode."
  • The following items are now allowed in Assault
    • Soul Eater
      • Bound Gauntlet
    • Gauntlet of Thebes

GOD BALANCE


Chronos

"Chronos walks the line between Hunter and Mage. Similar Mages with ADC potential have higher base HP than usual mages, usually due to their lack of long range AoE damage. Chronos fits clearly into this category so his HP is being adjusted to more closely fit with gods like Sol and Freya."

General
  • Increase Base Health from 370 to 400
  • Increased Per Level Health from 70 to 75

Cernunnos

"The release of Hera shined more light on the Polymorph effect. Turning players into other creatures effectively Silences and Disarms them, while allowing them to retain complete movement control. The full speed movement of affected enemies was often cited as a weak point of Cernunnos' ultimate, but he had many powerful aspects of his kit to balance that out. After some balance changes he has fallen down in the meta, allowing us to buff The Wild Hunt while also making the Polymorph effect more consistent across the game."

The Wild Hunt
  • Polymorphed targets are now slowed by 20%

Erlang Shen

"Erlang's passive adjustment has made him a top pick, especially in the jungle. His natural boxing potential and ability to shred other high HP characters is a great niche for him, but the current numbers allow him to play too well in too many matchups. We are reducing the max health percent damage to tone down his overall damage output."

Howling Celestial Dog
  • Decreased max health percent damage from 2% to 1% per hit

Fenrir

"Fenrir has huge damage and control potential, but often felt limited. We are reducing many of his mana costs to make sure Fenrir can use his kit to its full potential. His powerful sustain and stacking mechanics suggest he should excels in fights over longer periods of time, and reduced mana costs should help compliment that further."

Unchained
  • Decreased Mana cost from 65/70/75/80/85 to 60/65/70/75/80
Seething Howl
  • Decreased Mana cost from 60/65/70/75/80 to 60 at all ranks
Brutalize
  • Decreased Mana cost from 70/75/80/85/90 to 60/65/70/75/80

Freya

"Freya continues to dominate the battleground of the gods since her rework. Her burst damage and lane clear tend to be the strongest aspects of her kit, so we are focusing on Northern Lights. This ability is seeing a base damage decrease to slow down her early game and her combo hits."

Northern Lights Northern Lights
  • Decreased Base Damage from 50/90/130/170/210 to 40/80/120/160/200

Mercury

"Since the return of Golden Bow (Golden Blade), Mercury has been quickly rising to the top of the meta. Mercury's ability to move and clear quickly feel core to his themes, but his one shot damage can be frustratingly high. We are decreasing the power boost he can gain from his passive ability for now. We will surely be keeping a close eye on this god going forward, and there will likely be more adjustments in future patches."

Fastest God Alive
  • Reduced Power charged per passive stack from 0.1 to 0.08 (50% physical power increase down to 40% physical power increase)

The last couple of patches have had very little for me to talk about.

Here they are in a nutshell for 5.21:
  • I never actually played Domination, so I'll be looking forward to doing so this go-round.

  • Addition of a VGS Guide is great.

  • Soul Eater and Gauntlet of Thebes being added as allowable items in Assault have some significant effects, and are a main reason for me to update the Assault guide. In essence, I'll probably be suggesting SE over BF as a starter for hunters, due to the significantly lower price (allowing for more potions to start or even a Chalice or two), added mana, and CDR, which will be nice for all hunters in a teamfight mode, whether or not they're ability-reliant.

    Gauntlet is appealing as a starter for one of the main tanks.

  • Cernunnos: Don't care that much about the added slow. It's fine, as he's not near top tier.

  • Erlang Shen: Significant enough nerf to his doggie gets him a bit more under control, DPS-wise.

  • Fenrir: some nice QoL mana reduction, which will really help his early game.

  • Freya: She needed it, as she's still considered very powerful.

  • Mercury: The problem isn't Mercury. The problem is Golden Blade. There's a reason some gods have cleaves in their kits, while others do not, and it's a nice bonus for those that do. Allowing any Assassin to have it to help their jungle clear is absolutely stupid to begin, and triply stupid for Merc with regard to how Made You Look interacts with it.

    The item just needs to go. Again. No more golden freaking ANYTHING, HR.
Watch the below video just cuz it's funny and the context is essential. But the key word here is at 1:57.

I think Golden Blade could stay they just need to do one simple thing. Don't have Made You Look proc it. Make that simple change and I think it'll be much better.

Awww yissss! FIVE WHOLE mana reduction on Unchained and TEN (not 9) on Brutalize is gonna have SUCH a HUGE impact on my game!

*Sigh* Hi Rez with these lazy buffs.
Although I do like the change to Seething Howl.

At first I thought it was a Neith skin and I was thinking that we didn't need another one.

Wait? An actual good looking Artemis skin? Wiiild! That stuff is outta this world.

Then again, most Artemis skins look good on card but look bad in the actual game so... I think I'll wait and see when it releases.

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.
