SMITE 2 Is Surprisingly Balanced Right Now...

Balance : boring af

I absolutely agree that solo's needs more build variety. I'm picking Nemion, Oni's, Spirit Robe every game on every tank, and it's boring. The difference in builds between an AA Warrior like Ama and an ability Warrior like Achilles is like 1 or 2 items in their builds. The rest of the items are the same.

the new tank items are nice, but i'd love the horrible items to get a bit better and crit being so strong. It really limits the build vareity

Last time i checked its not aprill fool day. So intesect stop trolling

ngl love full tank build and support build something i never did before, tho brusiers feel like shi, match up wise. Crit needs to be hit, at least rage 2750 sounds good. I rush rage, demons or dagger and rage. STRONG ASF. Solos need more hybrid items.

can't ask for crit nerfs without buffing pen and yellow damage

Nerf crit tweak soulreaver a little bit and then its perfect

Hey intersect! Wondering if you know or have heard of an update to the console hud not saving? I can’t find any info, but it does not allow you to save changed in the UI screen.

I think dagger of frenzy needs to be nerfed, either nerf the amount of basics or double the cool down, there’s no reason a jungle Ymir should 3-4 tap a tank at level 3

Nemian lion is absolutely busted. Played this weekend in the AGL tournament in the highest level bracket and it was purchased on 6 of the 10 gods every game. Not to mention hex stone was purchased way too frequently. Both items are way too stat effective for how strong and dependable their active effects are. Lastly, naga camp and objective play is still way too easy and effective. They need to buff the early game gold fury health and damage dealt, and nagas in general are a hard thing to balance, the seemingly random and luck based spawn locations and easy burn turns this overpowered objective into a coin toss. It provides far too much gold for defeating it and the those 2x naga deployables are often wasted in lower skill lobbies but are extremely valuable and potent in a competent players hands. I would personally like to see the entire thing reworked. Finally… sunder, it becomes a mandatory requirement for someone to get sunder, if one team has it and the other team doesn’t you are always going to get out secured on objectives and it’s honestly just not fun. In smite one you would rely heavily on your mage or burst damage to secure an objective, it feels mute when people run double sunder and nuke objectives. It’s common in high level lobbies to have 3 gold fury’s killed in 16 minutes and the snow ball is absolutely massive. Besides that I tend to agree with your video!

Ya… really disagree, crit and certain gods are still way too strong.

You literally see the same gods every single game, the item balance is okay, solo lacks variety in items, but gods definetely need buffs and nerfs

i think adding onto the mid/solo changes, bloodbound book needs a nerf. it's pretty much the best item in the game for gods who can use it and Hades/Anubis abuse the hell out of it

Now to nerf to autospeed

BALANCED CRIT IS FUCKING INSANE RGHT NOW

i think demon blade should keep the 30% on its proc but lose its 15% on its passive tbh.

need an extra ban in ranked very soon

He hasn't seen the geb crit build 👀

I was wondering how high level players thoughts bc I've been playing more of it this weekend and It felt pretty good

i can one shot people as thor now and i love it even in late game
sometimes if i play my cards right i can get a kill even if they beads. i disliked jg for months but now im back

I disagree with Rod of Tahuti nerf for 1 reason. It wont help idol, both do the same. Correct way is to change 1 of those to differentiate them more. Perhaps one needs cdr, lifesteal or hp? Unfortunately there arent many stats you can give it. The disadvantage of not having flat pen.

Would be even more balanced if they added slash

I feel like above all else I want more items, I agree with a lot of people that say that only the same like 10 items are meta, but when you only have 20 or so items that’s gonna happen. More items organically increases build diversity and sure not all of them can be meta or popular but they can all fill a purpose.
I firmly believe that spectral armor in Smite 2 is one of the most effective anti auto attack items smite has ever made, but these anti auto attack items are always defensive, if we have defensive and offensive anti heal why can’t we have defensive and offensive anti crit, or anti item proc, or anti auto attack. Not to mention new items entirely that are exceptional for some but not all gods, how about an item that buffs your next ability after using a movement ability, or an active that increases the duration of your next hard CC, or an item akin to heimdallr’s 3 where you place two points and can then interact with them to teleport or track an enemy, or buff an ally. The possibilities are near endless, but with more items come more ways the meta can become annoying or agitating or boring and it’s always a coin toss to see how completely new or ported gods will gel with any new mechanics

I honestly kind of hate Rod of Tahuti. It feels like a must pick item in every mage build since its inception. It gives way too much power to not pick up. I wish they would just add more power to base mage items.

never miss an inter upload‼️

This makes me so happy the Devs don't listen to streamers, because asking them to nerfAphrodite when she's weak af at this point after six consecutive nerfs, is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

We need more CD reduction options.

I hate that Heroism is the only good support starter. I also miss support auras, but I think utilizing active items as the supporting items is a great shift

Thumbnail says "Surpsingly" 😅

“Surprisingly” is definitely a choice of word for describing the balance 😂 Let’s see:

1) Tanks in solo are borderline unplayable, ranged damage characters just outpace and outfight you since min 0.
2) ADCs outpace everyone on both dps AND burst because of lernean+crit.
3) Heroism gives dumb survivability with no GOOD counterplay options (yes shieldsplitter exists, but only in in magical Christmasland scenario, be quiet). Skill requirement for this is a whopping “stand next to your support player” condition.
4) OP DPS characters like Agni-Bari get to keep their core OP properties forever, meanwhile we are busy nerfing the already weak tanks every patch.

Truly a “Surprising” state of the game😂

No its not. Playing this game feels sooooo bad. Especially assault. I love smite I've loved it since I first played but holy this feels bad

Bro you tripping. Auto attack crit is OP. And solo is completely useless and boring af

Heroism (specifically Selflessness) definitely needs a nerf, but I hope they have the foresight to make War Flag an actual buyable starter again too

i disagree with this take sadly. i think we are in the most unfun and unbalanced states of all of smite 2. tank items are waaay too strong. specifically prophetic cloak, ancile, spirit robe, and talisman of purification need nerfs and glad shield and freya's tears do not belong in this game, they need an entire overhaul. we need more percent pen options in the game to deal with the shear amount of tank stacking thats happening. executioner and titans bane works for physical but magical needs more. ob shard and totem of death being nessecary in every game should not be the case. not every int scaling god can use totem well since it only applies on ABILITY hits. this basically makes all int scalers that are not dot mages trash right now. this is literally the least fun i've had in the game accross 11 years of smite 1 and since alpha of smite 2. tank meta is the worst meta :( i do agree with your crit balance ideas though, and i think they should rework spectral armor remove the aura debuff and just put back the old passive that you take less crit damage instead it shouldn't be giving your team valueespecially at a 2300 gold price. This is just my opinion and my take on a game i used to love you are all free to agree or disagree <3

jugglers are extremely underpowered right now

The meta might be balanced but matchmaking and movement are still awful

Crit chance needs to be reworked into you crit every X auto attacks, it should be consistent not RNG based

Except hybrid items suck, and the junglers go full blast and tanks rely on proc items.

Is sol op? I keep seeing conflicting views

Worst sub class is hybrid junglers, they are so dog rn they dont even exist.

this game looks like it was released in 2016. why are the graphics so terrible still

Mf said assassins are good rn, you tripping

Meanwhile autospeed is soloing base

Aspect Bellona as support with Eros bow is hilariously good.

Are you high inter

I’ve only heard the opposite

They need to make full strength ADC builds be on par with crit ADC build. Full strength builds should be hitting for 280-320 per auto late game

I think either add more items for str/ability based or make the current ones a bit more flavorful

ie devos, serrated, and reaper are all various forms of strength + lifesteal, serrated passive could use another effect, reaper should be the kind of item that promotes kill streaks by buffing you for a short duration after getting a kill, maybe double the passive for 5 seconds

Transcendence could use a buff too, or a shift, the only place it seems to work well is hybrid builds with book of thoth, otherwise, the stats are just not worth it for a stacking item. At max stacks, its giving you 62 strength (if you build the all the other strength items with mana, so hydras and heartseeker, trans will give you 71 strength. I think it could either stand to get 1% extra stength from mana, so from 2% to 3%, get 10 cooldown at max stacks, or get some other passive effect at max stacks, or hey, maybe it could give an active when stacked.

There is so many AA items but little to No anti basic items. Ancile, Spectral, and leviathans dont help much, i miss midgardian mail and frostbound.

I love smite
