SMITE IS BACK!! Breaking down EVERY ROLE in Patch 11.6!

Good rundown on the gameplay impact! I'll show this to my returning friends.

ALOT of people, especially high ego hidden profile adc mains hate season 9 and 9.5. But this is what we need. Why? Because Smite is at its best when warriors are strong. I don't know if they brought back hybrid items such as damage on glad and shifters but those 2 are needed. When warriors are strong, Smite is most fun and at its best. Ever since season 10 launched it went downhill. From day 1 of season 10 until today Smite wasn't fun. Every game is a team diff. EVERY game is stressful. I truly hope solos and guardians are back. For the longest time adcs and assasins have done too much damage without consequences

Smite is ruined, was having fun with last 2 updates and suddenly they ruin it. I'm player of Smite since Day 1 btw

Hou yi about to be crazy

Change …is scary. But I think this is survivable for me .

As an adc, I’m actually Happy about there being differing play styles. Single ultimates/engages have more meaning and while there will always be an optimal hunter build, perhaps there’s value in building to kill an assassin who is gonna run at you vs tanks.

I played one game of casual conq on Thor and I finally could actually kill people on my dunks early game by myself. I dunked their adc three times in a row and solod them 😂😂

Now hopefully there will be actual value to going 20/0 in a game instead of racking up kills for 40 minutes and losing to a bunch of 0/10 kids who wiped my team in a single team fight

40 > 60 prots is a 50% increase, whereas 60 > 80 prots is a 33% increase. Math!

I played then i play now. I capped out at diamond 9.5 and below and cap out at diamond yet after 9.5. Fundamentals dont change.

Finally, the game flows around Assassins again. As it always should have.

Felt so bad setting up a well planned gank, and either not getting the kill, or getting clapped back just to get the kill.

Like, in what world is it cool for me to blink on a mage & their response is to mash their face back into me instead of trying to run??? 😂😂😂

So if they revert 9.5 won't minions do hella damage to players now? Or are they nerfing minions too?

Worst fucking update

The worst part of 9.5 was making conquest games longer, happy for the revert.

Good update, I got tired of high ego low skill players abusing 9.5

Awh Baker ❤

This patch feels so much better to play already man. I'm so glad 9.5 got reverted.

Got an idea: smite should give new support starters(sentinels,benevolence) and make them more unkillable up to like lvl5 or something. Why? Because support isn’t very fun so making it easier at a low level would make it a bit more enjoyable

Yes, yes - the good old "junglers will be always on the solo side" logic, where if pressure in ANY other lane matters, one of the jnglrs is harassing solo, and the other is roaming the map and applying pressure in either lane (usually duo) and then solo ends up with harass-resistant boring characters, right? I haven't played Smite or watched a video for ~ 1.5 years to 2 years now, and I don't plan on coming back. It seems the game is still stuck in its yo-yo state where we do the thing, then we revert the done thing, and call it a new game coz now the "environment is different". You know what's different? The people. Coz we all quit at some point.

(sorry for trolling but I guess Smite players have a very high tolerance for that, right?)

there's still crossplay so it may be back for PC players but definitely not console players. Time to give it up because hirez hates console players so much

This video is 9.5 minutes long

Idky but after the update I’ve been doing better. Like I kill them before they touch me. And camps are easy again. And mid is so easy it feels like I’m a second jungler that isn’t a slave to my lane

I guess this is a more unpopular opinion than I thought but... thanks to the stuff pre revert, I became a somewhat skilled and regularly returning player. I honestly don't think I would be playing smite at an even substandard amount of proficiency if not for the extra forgiveness on health and structures. Kinda sad to see it go but I don't think I need it anymore. Its a shame because I think it was a great entry point for new players to get into the game like me.

i cant wait to camp solo just like pre 9.5

I am quitting this update is awful. All game modes outside of conquest are completely ruined

I dont like this change so far tbh... but im still playing. So I guess well see

Smite is dying hard and fast sadly... Hi-rez is just taking one desperate reach after another. They slapped all the long term players in the face with dumping all their resources into smite 2.

Smite tries to base the game around competitive conquest but they constantly set that to the side to cater to new players while contradicting that by making the game drastically different every couple of months with zero consistency. I'm not an unemployed teenager anymore and studying the newest changes and recipe items thrown in just to realize that desperate reach was another mistake to take them back out is getting old. Here's to the next hail Mary they attempt when they see another dip in active players... I've played Smite on and off for 8 years and I never ask friends to download it and join me, its brutal and toxic to new players. I could be on a lonely island with these opinions.

Does achilles still start with no armour or does he need armour stance to start now?
