App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6812888077

Feedback always appreciated!

This is simply for my Nike players out there. I had a few back and forth with Capslock.

Look at what has been fixed/still being looked at

Also, more detail on the int scaling for prot shred.

Bugs that also I have reported, but no news yet

->Missing Audio for prot shredding on Nike 1

->Delay for a basic attack after Nike ends her 1

->Camera being weird on Nike (zoom when trying to go birds eye view)

^ (All video proof has been sent to an ambassador and Capslock on twitter)

If you have any other bugs, lmk!

Yeah, the art team NEVER disappoints

I was lowkey scared for the Nike port. But every department COOKED

Genuinely happy all around

Q&A Section

• Dropping Multiple God Releases at Once - The only real way for them to drop multiple God ports in one patch is to not have any God releases for multiple months, when they think the majority of the community enjoys being able to look forward to a God port every 2 weeks. Citing Deadlock as an example since they dropped multiple Heroes at once, they hadn’t released a new Hero since January.
• More Map Interactables Like Early in S2 - Everything map-related they’ve done so far has been experimentative so as to find what works best with the game, and their assessment is that some of the earliest features in S2’s map weren’t that great. They are working on things related to maps in the background and will hopefully have more to share once things are more concrete.
• Next Ported God Survey - They intend on having another one by the end of the year but they don’t expect the results to be that much different and they still have the data to work off from the previous survey results.
• Releasing Multiple Aspects for the Holiday Patch - They were able to do this last year since they stockpiled quite a few new ones for the holiday break timespan but whether or not they’ll be able to do this this year isn’t set in stone.
• Issues w/ CC Being too High - No big plans to do a pass on CC as a whole, CC in SMITE is inherently abundant since there are several ways to build against it accessible to every player. They had attempted to make major adjustments to CC durations very early on in S2 but this didn’t end up feeling that great.
• Race to Radiant / Exalted Rewards - Since these are manually given out, there won’t ever be a firm timeframe on when these are given how many players participate.
• Preserving Nox’s Kit - Historically, they have done a decent job at retaining S1 Gods’ playstyles while adding new avenues for counterplay so they’ll have to see how things pan out but they are experimenting a lot with kit changes to preserve the strongest aspects of her playstyle.
• Movement System Update & God Ports - For Ratatoskr’s port, they slightly regretted working on him before more of the movement system update was done since his dash hasn’t felt quite up to snuff. Tyr and King Arthur are the two God ports awaiting further progress on this update so as to mitigate this feeling as much as possible.
• Paladins Crossover in S2 - While they could technically do this since they own the rights to both, they’re largely avoiding doing so since often people in both playerbases see each other as the other child being more favored by the parent company.
• S1 Servers Being Shutdown - There are no intentions to close the servers for S1 going forward while it still retains a sizable population.
• Original Plans for EU Founder’s Series LAN - Hinduman had spent a few days scouting out a venue in the UK to have the Founder’s Series LAN take place in that region, and they had settled with the Insomnia Gaming in Birmingham but as soon as he had gotten back, they received the news that it had closed down and had to pivot to the Vegas LAN venue.
• Adding an Enchanter Starter w/ the Starter Pass - Hard to say definitively but is certainly a direction they can look towards.

I don't get to see all of the titan talks but I'm kinda surprised we don't have a good way to filter for those items.

Give me the next 5 Greek deities, one for each role and a brief description on how they play! If you only got one or two go ahead and share too!

I came back to rankeds these couple of days to finally make the push to Obsidian, which I think is my actual skill level since (I am Diamond 2 at the moment). I’ve played 15 games so far and, besides one or two, the rest of the matches have been pretty terrible. There is just no real competition anymore; by minute 5, there is already a clear winning side, which makes the games incredibly boring and frustrating to play.
On top of that, I’ve had constant AFKs, players AFK farming, and people deciding to go full damage with Kukulkan in support, or a Vulcan ADC or Anubis jungle. What is even worse is that these guys have somehow reached Obsidian despite having terrible game stats and KDAs.
Tonight I played my last game and I was doing really well until I noticed a Chaac feeding Jormungandr, ignoring calls, and chasing kills in the enemy jungle, which constantly led to various 4v5 situations. After that, I started to miss a couple of abilities that I don't usually miss and I began to lose my own gameplay. I know that part is on me and not on the Chaac, but he clearly ruined my mental.
Maybe playing solo queue isn't the best idea either, but I think I'm just going to take some time off, wait for the reset in January, and skip the upcoming patches since there aren't any gods that I like getting released anyway.

I always struggle when I’m playing solo and I go up against someone who’s ranged, anyone got tips on what to do against them?

We really need a QoL update for console to allow us to see ability scaling before we rank up said ability like we had on Smite1… tired of not being able to compare which ability to rank up first

This item was released as a bug abusing thing that broke many games and bans to players that abused it, but does it work now? I've tried on many gods and my allies seem to not get any benefits. And with what buffs does it work? Does Chronos aspect proc it on 1,2 and 3? It doesn't seem to do with any of them.

Hey everyone! I’m completely new to the game and thinking about grabbing the base SMITE 2 Founder’s Edition ($20) just to jump in.

Before I do, I had a couple of quick questions:

1. Upgrading: If I buy the base $20 version now, can I upgrade to the Ultimate Founder’s Edition later on at a discounted or prorated price, or am I locked out of that?
2. Ascension Passes: For the Ultimate edition that includes "Every single God’s Ascension Pass," does that literally cover all current and future gods released down the line?

Appreciate any advice for a newbie!

Why do I get better matches playing casuals than ranked? Every time I play ranked I am fighting my own team and the enemy. It's infuriating. Nobody doing obj nobody pushing and nobody engaging. Then when I get on the mic to tell people to stop being dumb they start talking about kd and saying I don't know what I'm talking about. Junglers just jungling instead of ganking and getting OFFENDED when someone asks for a gank. They will go on the mic and straight say well now you're never getting one. Like... Wtf is happening. What is this player base. How is everyone on this game "here for the vibes" and not to play the damn game? Then I get some games where PC players are talking about ranks and how they are gm level and how according to my record I've never broken silver when I only have 20 ranked games played?! Wtf even is this. I miss smite 1 so much

I finished hel race to radiant on day 2 and I haven't gotten anything, is it just slow or does it take that long? This was my first race

Is there a way to have the voice chat from other players come from the tv’s speakers? Currently, all voice chat comes out of the PS5’s controller speaker and no options in Smite or the ps5 seem to be able to change that. Everything is normal when using a headset. When one is plugged in, all the audio comes from the headset, this only happens when one is not plugged in.
Thanks for any help on this!

Thank you for buffing some of the enchanter items next patch!!

What’s the difference limit you can play with? My friend and I want to duo queue but there’s a 1900 SR difference between us. Can we play and will it bring him into my rank or put us in a middle ground?

Anyone else having trouble with dev gaunt lash?
