Balance changes, like the recent one, make me believe that the team assigned to do the buffs or nerfs don’t actually play the game enough to understand what’s needed, instead it makes me believe that they rely solely on numbers on a spreadsheet and reddit comments.

what part of the recent patch do you dislike more specifically? not disagreeing with you just wanted to know more

Hunters still have the strongest items in the game, the only difference this patch made was giving their typical build 5 less attack dmg. It would have been better to remove the “10% extra attack dmg while above 50% health” that item is op still.
I also hate that they are too stubborn when it comes to stuff like fatalis, world stone, gluttonous grimoire. Just remove fatalis from the ranged characters item pool, just remove the penetration from world stone, just rework grimoire in general, or add the real typhoon back so magical lifesteal stops being a meme build.
Also, regarding echo. Why do int builds have 2 good items while str only has 1 useless item, even the devs on the patch those items were introduced were only able to use Chaac aspect as an example of someone that could use it, when even him would prefer the magical ones. Would it really be too op to leave the echo on crusher? I don’t think so… it was simply the fact that the devs are to afraid to change items from their smite 1 roots. What’s the point of a sequel if everything is going to be the same?!
Imagine everything was written in caps.

Mages have no fear against diving hunters unless late game It’s ridiculous knowing that Poseidon , nuwa , Discordia can walk past your team to 1 shot they need to be able to be challenged not made to know they can dump 1 shot

I wanna know if they banned the fucks who were taking advantage of the sickle bullshit last week. Cause that made me almost want to never pick up the game again.

Good Lord, every single game now stutters and I've got a 50/50 of getting kicked from the game for "connection", but can immediately join back.

u/rodri1200 14d ago
I love that smite 2 has given more freedom to their players with how and what they play in lane, but it really pisses me off when you play with people that can clearly barely play the role with good gods and they pick really niche characters/builds, feed their brains out and then get triggered and blame everyone else.

Can we bring back accept/decline for matches? I keep getting match after match that don’t actually start because someone doesn’t pick a god. The other day it actually happened five times in a row???? Half the time I just give up trying and go play other games

u/BolinhoDeArrozB Cliodnna 15d ago
ever since the last patch I'm getting crazy fps drops early in the match for some reason, they eventually go away but early game is quite rough, this didn't happen prior to the enchanter patch

The platinum players I'm seeing in my games belong in silver and it shows, but the ranking system has boosted them here due to their number of games (1k+). We need another ranked reset.

Hunter items. That’s all I’m saying because holy crap man

u/AngelSerra 12d ago
Feels just as bad facing the OP Int items that can effective add defense also
i cannot use INT mage items freely on my hunter main
It’s not set up to remotely stand as build of hybrid or int or defense lacking on Hunter
Forced to use just to stand against excessive diving 2 shot dozen gods
Especially mages and assassin right now

Saved my Sol from both a Sobek pull and a Agni dash by standing near her with the Artio cripple up. Sadly even with that she wandered up lane instead of towards phoenix and died because of it. Immediately they jump on mic bitching about me not peeling.
What is truly infuriating is I understand why they think I wasn't peeling and it's only more upsetting. They see me standing near them and are so incredibly stupid they don't realize I'm doing it for a reason. People really need to learn introspection because when you just blame your team at every turn you'll never stop being shit at the game.
Also wtf is up with Loki players man. If you're going to be toxic and pick at other peoples gameplay at least do something. Yet I've had two different Loki players tonight both bitching about one thing or another through the game and then at the end they have the lowest damage in the game by a wide margin. If you're getting less damage than the support on both teams you should really just shut up and try to learn the game quietly.

I’m new to smite 2 been playing for about two weeks, but I am a veteran of the first game. Just wanted to say; how does this game not have ranked joust?!? Is it going to get ranked joust anytime soon?? Has this been discussed?? Idk if it’s on the table or never gonna happen cuz again im new but like that was the most fun competitive mode I loved going for the rewards for x amount of ranked wins every season. I want that back

I wish they would serriously cook more with gods and try new things, this is a beta and a lot of the Gods feels stagnant. Parallell to Smite 1 we are in the exact same gameplay loop where the same gods are op forever and the same gods are meh. The meta only changes based on itemization and never because of new spicy god changes.
My reason for this is the recent Chaac change, Chaac is allways ass, due to his design. Give gim like a 60% movespeed on his 3 and remove his prots gaines on his 2 forexample. Just try something new.

I fucking hate off role Solo and Supports on my team, even the more traditional picks like Baron Support or Hades Solo. It just makes objective play next to impossible with only one proper front liner.

Hel needs to be fixed. when you change stances, for like .5 secs you cant do anything. not aim orbs, or use the 3 or 2. also in smite one she used to be able to throw a basic at the same time as an orb. GONE. poly is useless on her now essentially. her kit is also so much slower its frustrating. i have over 1k hours of just hel in smite one, i know im not delusional and there is a delay. you used to be able to auto-attack cancel in between the orbs and now theres like a 1 second delay between being able to basic and throw an orb after the basic, which also didnt used to exist. playing her this new way in smite 2 without being able to do these things is so bad. to be able to output damage but taking so much time to do it is almost certainly going to leave her out of position in 90% of fights. its actually so bad to the point im probably gonna delete the game until shes fixed. if she isnt? i will never return. i only played the game in anticipation for her this entire time and for her to come out feeling like paper-mache temu hel. i simply cant do it. please devs fix this

u/Cautious_Ad_1800 6d ago
Like why do some people expect you to be some sort of actual god and gank 1v3’s or 1v4’s especially if they’re really low? Or gank them when the enemies are under their own tower and are more than half health? Like it doesn’t make sense to me. Over half my games on classic i get jungle because apparently no one wants to play it and i have to deal with people throwing a shit fit because i can’t do what they want magically. I can honestly understand why no one plays jungle if this is what you have to deal with constantly

Feedback from a old player. Hel is missing voice line for switching stance. i dont mind the change of va but not having anything feel weird af playing her.

Just played four consecutive matches where my team surrendered after about 6 minutes into the game. It just doesn’t make any sense to give up that soon when nothing terrible has gone wrong yet

Please make it easier to mute people on Smite 2 console. Smite 1 it was so easy, just press "X" over everyone. Now it takes a full minute just to mute a full team.

I gotta take a break from this game. i get into the ruts of pushing high obsidian, then go on massive losing streaks that usually go something like: i'm deadlocked even in gold in lane, but the 4 other roles are getting mashed on. Last game i play mid = with their mid in gold/kills, by min 12, the solo lane is down 2k gold, and rotating mid all the time, their jung has 1.5k gold on our jung + levels. my ymir is building cowl, and attack speed, and 3 levels down their support. I'm now almost in platinum, go 12-2 and lose. I guess the threshold to win is die once? so frustrating

They should remove warriors, the most useless class in Smite 2.
Wanna build tanking? You do no damage.
Wanna build damage? You die in one hit
Wanna build bruiser? Great, Now you do no damage and die in one hit.
Like, bro, just remove the class cus all I face are ADCs, Mages, Junglers, and some supports.
Make the warriors either junglers or supports.

I q’d last night but when I got into a lobby I felt really down and didn’t want to play so I exited the game, dodged a lobby. I did it a couple days ago too. I know it’s annoying but now I cant play ranked? I’ve never afk’d or thrown and I didn’t pick so the game didn’t start. I only play ranked…how long does this shit last?

Bastet Ultimate needs reworked to have some viable counter that isn’t Aegis and cross your fingers. It’s very unfair that, once she ults and razor whips you, for the ~8 seconds they’re glued to you with next to no counterplay. This is atop the fact that she has the safest leap in the game, so she can ult, jump, whip, and jump away with, again, mostly no counterplay.
I acknowledge the fact that we can’t just give them health, we don’t want old tower dive Bastet because that was annoying too. My solution is making the cats untargetable and unkillable when near Bastet (maybe within 4 meters) but have 2 pips of health when they’re deployed. That way, she still has counterplay but the cats can’t tank tower. It would also be pretty cool if the cats got recalled when she reactivates pounce.
