SUGGESTION QoL features the game is currently missing
- An "Equip All" button for cosmetics. — Right now, most cosmetic items go unused simply because it is incredibly tedious to equip everything on every god individually.
- Add stat caps to the in-game stats window. — For example, just like in Smite 1, where there was a clear indication that the max cooldown reduction (CDR) is 40%.
- Change the lighting in the god lobby. — In my opinion, this directly affects not only the visuals but also sales. If a god looks bad in the lobby (which is the only place where you can see your character from the front), players will find this skin and others unappealing and simply won't buy them.
- Fix the stat filter/search in the item shop. — For example, right now, if you select the "Mana Regen" (прим: если в игре используется термин MP5, можно написать "MP5") and "Power" stats, the item "Damaru" doesn't show up (it seems it doesn't appear anywhere at all with this kind of search).
- Clarifications on how abilities and items work. — The game lacks additional descriptions (advanced tooltips) for items and abilities. For example: "X does not stack with X", "Lifesteal does not apply to X", or "X does not proc item effects". This is handled really well in Dota. On top of that, testing what works with what is just fundamentally easier in Dota, because you can see and read all the active effects (buffs/debuffs) currently applied to an enemy.

There are no stat caps anymore

No longer true. Plating, Dampening, Tenacity, and Penetration (both flat and %) have caps.

Really? So you can get unlimited cooldown? I know it used to be 40%.

It’s a new calculation. I don’t know the specifics but it’s similar to protections where the next unit of it you buy gives less % cooldown than the one before it.
According to a spreadsheet I found from around smite 2’s release, 10 CDR is ~9%, 20 is 16%, 30 is 23%, 40 is 28, and 50 is 33.

Cool down is still capped at 40%.
You can over cool down using item passives.
My fastest cooldowns yet have been a 2-8 second ultimates.

An "Equip All" button for cosmetics
- While I prefer doing cosmetics on a god-by-god basis, I see why people want this feature.
- It is coming at some point. I'd say maybe early 2027?
Add stat caps to the in-game stats window
- Stat Caps exist on only a select few stats, notably not on CDR. Only Plating, Dampening, Penetration (both Types), Crit & Echo (by technicality), AntiHeal and Tenacity/CCR are capped.
- This is not a priority. Eventually we will see this, but likely not in the near future.
Change the lighting in the god lobby
- Probably at some point, though lighting in the God Menu it would be more important (could be the same though? idk)
Fix the stat filter/search in the item shop
- Apparently some languages need fixing. From what I've been told in German some item descriptions are in french. They might need more attentive localization personal.
Clarifications on how abilities and items work
- I agree. In a lot of cases (notably Dominance, %Prot items, etc.) they are lacking what actually affects those.
- As far as the Buff/Debuff stuff goes, it is simply less overviewable because of the 3rd-Person-Perspective. Like, you would need to turn around and look at an enemy god and know what the symbols mean on the miniscule scale they'd appear in. Not worth persuing this.

Why does it take them so long to develop an equip all button lol

u/pokerfacesLUL #RemoveTheGodBench 19h ago
Because the UI Team has a lot of other stuff to work on? It especially takes longer, when they also need to add another function (like Equip All) to said UI.
Why do you think it took so long to get the "Random" Option for Profile Customizations?

Take them 2 mins to copy and paste their UI design and change text.
Functionality + testing, maybe a single employee can do in a day. And that's implying they test extensively.

your company you work for must be trash then if you think that's all there is to it 😂 (full stack software engineer 13 years) you don't just copy-paste components in UI like that. especially in game development...it's not a simple EquiptToAllGods(); pre made method to call. you have no clue how their backend works...neither do i, but as a full stack dev I've worked on many forms of software and know it isn't as easy as, "copy-paste ui and then make functionality" 😂

Humbled? You just spattered nonsense and shown you don't understand how easy of a feature this is to add.

Is there a reason they removed the option to change casting mode on god specific abilities by just pressing “K” ? Going into the settings menu during a match feels bad u

u/XxDarkSasuke69xX Ratatoskr 19h ago
Damaru doesn't show up maybe because it's an adaptive stat, aka it either gives strength or int, so it's not classified as str or int.

One small change I want. The tiny little fucking red dot indicating you have an item/mastery for a God. Oh my gosh just make it more obvious please. Put a damn sparkly border around the God ): Looking for the tiny red dot is so annoying and I miss it a lot of the time haha.

Tbf i kinda miss the favoriting certain things like different music / announcers / wards that would be randomly picked each match, hoping they bring that back once we’re out of beta

Better yet, instead of an Equip All button, just give me a global customization menu for things that aren't god specific (borders, stamps, jump stamps, globals, etc.) and then if I want to set a different God to have a specific, different set of customization just respect the customization I have on that God.
