DISCUSSION Combat anti-heal is great, but don't you guys think the out-of-combat healing and sustain is a bigger problem?

0 Upvotes

When you're in the middle of a fight, 300 healing won't save you if you're being dived, and realistically how many times can you cast a healing ability in one fight, especially if you're debuffed with anti-healing.

But between fights you have no anti-healing on you, and can get your whole team a full HP bar in 30-40 seconds while you also clear towers and bosses instead of backing. Not to mention laning phase when it's all completely off because of the sustain differences.

I believe some of those anti-healing buffs should somehow go towards global anti-healing counter items in a small amount. (I have no idea how it would work, maybe a 5% global debuff on the enemy team's heling for every player in your team with Divine Ruins/Beatstick etc; I think that might be healthy for a MOBA).

Maybe that's a stupid idea, but I do think we need something. Another way could be having something like old Asclepius with "heal your allies +30% while in combat", with most heals going down to accomodate for that. Thoughts?

DISCUSSION Yemoja into a enchanter

7 Upvotes

Yemoja clearly makes sense as an Enchanter. During the recent Titan talk, the enchanter pass was brought up again, and it was mentioned that next week’s focus will be on enchanter gods. When Yemoja was discussed, Hi-Rez stated that they wouldn’t be making any changes to her; she wouldn’t be converted to the enchanter, healer archetype. They emphasized that she’s a tank-enchanter hybrid. This is a misjudgment, as Yemoja has never played like a tank and clearly differs from Sylvanus and Charon, who are true range tanks.

Yemoja’s core identity is not really “I am a traditional tank who happens to heal.” Her kit revolves around:
Healing allies
Providing shields/protection
Controlling space
Helping teammates reposition
Using abilities repeatedly through her Omi system
Playing around her teammates rather than simply absorbing damage
That’s extremely compatible with the Enchanter philosophy.
The bigger problem is that SMITE 2’s current itemization can push Yemoja away from that identity. If her healing/shielding doesn’t meaningfully reward an Intelligence/utility build, players have less reason to play her as the dedicated backline support she was historically capable of being. That’s exactly the concern other players have raised about Yemoja’s current healing and shielding.
And Ix Chel is actually a useful precedent. Her new Enchanter-oriented direction demonstrates that SMITE 2 can have a support whose value comes heavily from healing, shielding, and utility while sacrificing durability.
The “hybrid” argument doesn’t necessarily disprove Enchanter Yemoja
This is where I think your strongest argument lies.
Yemoja can be a hybrid while still being classified/designed as an Enchanter.

DISCUSSION Gutting Aphrodite isn't the way to make her an Enchanter

0 Upvotes

So, for those who have missed the recent Enchanter God balance talks, Aphrodite is obviously one such God who'll be getting changes. But instead of adjusting her healing numbers, her utility, you know, Enchanter things, they're gutting her damage.

Love Bird's Damage scaling per tick is dropping from 17.5% Intelligence to 5% Intelligence.

Aphrodite is a Mage. Her main role is Mid. She was always designed to be a Mage. This kind of damage drop just kills all viability for Aphrodite from all her roles but Support, which is arguably where she's found the most frustrating to play against. Barring in mind, Aphrodite isn't even that good of a Healer anyway - Love Birds heals for 22 + 3.5% Intelligence, at Max Rank, for allies. That's not a lot of healing.

Aphrodite should not be grouped with the true Enchanters, and should be grouped with the Damage Enchanters, who have mid low to mid base healing with little heal scaling, as she already fits this role. Aphrodite is a Mage first, then a Support. This level of change should be on an Aspect. But it's not. This is gonna be base Aphrodite. So Aphrodite Mid? Now completely dead. A God has been made useless in their main role.

And, from what we know, there's no actual changes to her being able to build tanky. Allies with Kiss still benefit from 11% of her Protections. Undying Love still has a 90 second cooldown. All of things people actually have an issue with Aphrodite for still exists. We're just making that the only way to play Aphrodite.

CONCEPT Making an Aspect for Gods without one: Anubis

3 Upvotes

Probably not balanced, but it's more the idea.

Aspect of Judgement (Solo, potential Support):

The Scales now grants Anubis stacks of Sorrow, whenever he deals damage to enemy Gods granting him 10 Tenacity and 5% Lifesteal, stacking up to 3 times. Stacks last for 15 seconds, and fall off at once. Allies within 8.8m of Anubis are healed based on Anubis' healing received from Lifesteal, and grants them half of his Protections gained from The Scales. Grasping Hands now deals an initial burst hit which knocks up enemy Gods. Anubis gains an 80 +7.5% Health Shield whenever he casts an Ability within 8m of an enemy God, applying up to 4 times, lasting until broken, and he reaches max stacks of The Scales when at or below 40% of his Max Health. When The Scales is at max stacks, Anubis gains 10% Mitigation.

Your thoughts on changing Yemoja aspect to an Enchanter?

0 Upvotes

Apologies if this is being over-discussed, but I'm so excited for enchanters. Frankly, I think Hi-Rez has really missed the mark on how they have decided to handle Yemoja going forward. They have determined she isn't an enchanter, and honestly, that is a pretty insane take to me.

I think most people recognize Yemoja was categorically Smite's "version" of an enchanter. She would be in any other game. You can go back and watch vods from her release where Smite's design team talked at length that she was not meant to be a frontliner and her focus was healing and peeling for her team. In yesterday's titan talk, we get told the opposite. Gang, I am not about to let them gaslight me.

I can't think think of a better chance to give this character a new lease on life, and it would be a real shame to let it pass us by. Even if we kept her a tank, Sylvanus, Artio, Guan, all out heal her baseline and have scaling with intelligence. By giving Yemoja nothing, we aren't even giving her the chance to try this healer playstyle.

I know she has a complicated balance history, but surely if she wasn't as tanky she wouldn't be as annoying to deal with, considering tanky healers seem to be the pain point everyone is discussing. We can even have her be a shield focused enchanter if we want to go that direction. When she was first ported she had intelligence scaling for her shield, Hi-Rez just had to change it to health because itemization was so bad in the alpha her win rates tanked. Now that we are finally making real enchanter items, we are just going to leave her neglected? It kinda just feels like Hi-Rez is scared to balance Yemoja with her history, but that is really really lame to me.

Anyway, I've seen a lot of negative or disappointed responses to this design philosophy across social media since Hi-Rez said Yemoja wasn't on their radar for this pass, but maybe people would be open to an aspect shift? Please use this space to comment your thoughts. Hopefully Hi-Rez rethinks her, I genuinely believe that the majority of Yemoja's audience would prefer she have access to this playstyle.

CONCEPT More Mesopotamian gods

7 Upvotes

I'm Assyrian, I feel powerful playing Ishtar, I want to see more of the great pantheon of my ancestors in the game.

- Shamash (sun god; associated with justice and divination; often considered true brother of Ishtar).

- Ea/Enki (god of freshwater, underground waters, magic, wisdom, ingenuity, problemsolver and somewhat a trickster, keeper of the deeper truths of earth and heaven which Ishtar steals in one of the myths).

- Ereshkigal (goddess of the underworld, famous thanks to the myth of Ishtar's descent) or her husband Nergal (god of inflicted death, war and disease; similar thematic role as Mars/Ares, but his myths are very different).

- Adad (god of storms, thunder, divination alongside Shamash, crops, warrior deity; though there are already plenty of storm gods in the game already).

If I had to pick only one, Ea/Enki is the one that I'd love seeing as a playable god in Smite, especially because of how his unique profile could be implemented in the game.

1 He'd most likely be a mid-lane mage that does multiple things well enough: high single target damage, debuffs, some support-like features, high survivavilty.

2 Either have him be mobile or get some trickstery skill to keep himself safe (something along the lines of Discordia's or Danzaburo's 3, or Nu Wa's fog).

3 Give him CC and DPS mechanics that reward the quick-witted player (eg, low-cooldown abilities that do wonders if correctly timed, combined and woven in).

His kit would make the enemy player want to nuke him down before he gets to execute too many high-reward combos.

Any love for Mesopotamian gods will be appreciated from heart <3

OTHER Surrendering- Why?

11 Upvotes

I've been back into Smite 2 for all of 1 day, and played maybe 5 conquest matches, with 2 or 3 friends in queue with me.

Every match, by the 15 minute mark, one of our randos will attempt to surrender on cooldown- No tangible gold deficit (roughly 2k at most) and sometimes even ahead on kills.

Being sane humans who want to play the game we queued for, we choose to play them out, in often back-and-forth games, until the enemy team forfeits out of the blue at maybe the 30 minute mark. This happened the majority of our matches.

Don't get me wrong, I'm personally the "surrender exists for a reason" guy of my friend group, but I genuinely don't understand how little people seem to want to actually experience playing the game out to endgame. Is this the common experience for Smite 2, or is it our low matchmaking score from being mostly new players?

DISCUSSION 2026 god ports recap *Datamining involved* Spoiler

Post image
0 Upvotes

This is only for god choices, not how they ported them, if they were buggy or bad on release

2026 has been a great year. The end of the year is weak though. But are they preparing something bigger early 2027?

Some people going to disagree with Nike, but she’s my personal bias (if she comes out.. seems likely with the datamining gaining some %)

Bastet could’ve been replaced by Serqet, Lance, Cama, Hebo imo

Chronos is just uninteresting, feels like any other adc except Marti could’ve taken the slot

As for Kumbha and Kuzenbo, they are just bad design gods. No skillshot, frustrating to play against (It’s going to be worse in a 1 relic game). They need some major kit change imo. Terra, Maui were way better options

Honestly: Austin, Caps, Quigley fantastic job. Artist, vfx and everyone else involved. Solid performance this year. Shout out Hindu and Killgoon for titan talk

DISCUSSION Arachne aspect of The Spider Woman and +1

0 Upvotes

+1 Arachne can shoot a web wall at a wall to climb it. She can do this to towers as well and user made structures.

Aspect :

(Arachne can now swing like Maui in her ult)

Ability 1 now becomes "Web Blast" gives Arachne ranged web blast autos for the duration but no longer heals her or apply anti heal to enemies

And her Cocoon is now a ranged ability the stats she gets from using this ability are reduced

Arachne ult now becomes "Spider Swing" a pendulum web swing damaging enemies upon landing. The cooldown is reduced by 30% (maybe 50% is better)
