Smite - 4.24 "Frostfire" Patch Notes Discussion

4.24 "Frostfire" Patch Notes Discussion

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 01:03 PM PST

Damn, it's cold. Go here for some warmth

New Skins:

Skin Obtain
Frostfire Ullr Odyssey
Artic Seer Artio Odyssey
Crystal Gaze Medusa Odyssey
Krampus Cernunnos Odyssey
Fallen Angel Nike Odyssey
Tremor Tech Cabrakan
Giant Fist Merc
HRX Loki
Empress Nu Wa

Items:

Stone of Gaia:

  • "Stone of Gaia has become a very sought after item as of the last SPL split, providing a large boost to a player's health pool over the course of a fight. We are increasing the cost to better reflect its potency at allowing players to survive burst and sustain themselves throughout a game."

  • Increased Cost from 2000 to 2100

God Balance:

Agni

  • "Noxious Fumes is an ability that many players avoid levelling up, as the increased Mana Cost was not worth it because it rarely deals very many ticks of damage. We are bringing down the high end cost to make sure it is a better strategy to rank this skill up."

  • Noxious Fumes

    • Decreased mana cost from 60/70/80/90/100 to 60/65/70/75/80

Bacchus

  • "Similar to Noxious Fumes, Bacchus players who were maxing Chug could do themselves more harm than good. This should not be the case. Bacchus can now Chug for a much reduced cost, allowing players to feel good about ranking this ability."

  • Chug

    • Decreased mana cost from 40/65/90/115/140 to 40/45/50/55/60

Odin

  • "Odin is another character we wanted to address as we head towards SWC, as both his casual performance and his impact at the highest end of play are both above the curve. Ring of Spears is seeing a slight decrease to duration, lowering the amount of time he is keeping players locked down and debuffed in a teamfight."

  • Ring of Spears

    • Decrease Duration from 6s to 5s

Sobek

  • "Sobek has been a pretty solid pick for some time, but when reviewing his Mana costs, we found the cost for Tail Whip to be a bit too steep. Sobek can use this ability more freely without relying as much on his Ultimate regen to keep him in a fight."

  • Tail Whip

    • Decrease mana cost from 70/80/90/100/110 to 60/65/70/75/80

Hun Batz

  • "Sacred Monkey, which is neither a clear tool or a major source of damage, was especially costly at early ranks. Hun Batz can now use this ability more often without running himself too low on Mana."
  • Sacred Monkey
    • Decrease mana cost from 75/80/85/90/95 to 60/65/70/75/80

Isis

  • "All of Isis' abilities were at or above 100 Mana at rank 5, but we only chose to bring down Spirit Ball and Dispel Magic. Wing Gust is Isis' primary wave clear and mobility move, and reducing its cost would have a larger impact, which is why we have left it alone."
  • Spirit Ball
    • Decrease mana cost from 70/80/90/100/110 to 70/75/80/85/90
  • Dispel Magic
    • Decrease mana cost from 80/85/90/95/100 to 60/65/70/75/80

JeffHindla and BaRRaCCuDDa - a SMITE Story

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 02:33 PM PST

“Ullr needed those buffs, even pros think s-“

Medusa , king of Jungle Practice !

I wanted to share my favorite moment with BaRRaCCuDDa.

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 03:26 PM PST

So after seeing the Barra Jeff documentary I got A LOT of feels from watching it. I just wanted to share my favorite moment with Barra.

I got on his team when I was low plat also the game started off as a 4v5. Luckily the game went to Barra's youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkv6edRuwJ8&t . After the game Barra Tweeted out ttps://twitter.com/BaRRaCCuDDa_/status/597312831269302272 . I still come back to this video and tweet almost everyday. Nothing made me more happier than Barra praising me all game. I never got to thank Barra for being such a wonderful person to me. If it weren't for this game i most likely wouldn't be playing Smite today.

Thank You BaRRaCCuDDa for being apart of this community.

What's your favorite moment with or of Barra?

Would it be possible to test out a role queue type system for conquest?

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 12:56 PM PST

I have been calling for a role queue for a while and it seems like whenever the topic comes up its fairly popular. However there is always some detractors that state things like "it will make the queues extremely long" or "people will queue support and instalock loki"

i was wondering if it would be possible to get a test to see if this is the case, to see how "bad" the queue times would be if a role queue type system was put in place. add it to the live conquest game and see if queues increase dramatically.

I think a role queue would actually increase the popularity of Conquest, since you are more likely to get the role you want to play instead of dealing with the clusterf*** that is the match lobby.

As always: Please refrain from sharing any leaked content which doesn't come from the official Smite social media, HiRez employees or related officials. It goes against the purpose of this thread and it can cause problems. Thank you.

Fenrir's Law: Datamining is always in flux, never final and often doesn't tell the truth. For the sake of avoiding misinformation, especially since it can't predict release dates: Datamining will not be included, except when said content is spoiled.

  • A "tiny little spoiler" from Ajax - Twitter

SMITE: Agni synchronized dashing

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 12:57 PM PST

3 person F6

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 06:28 PM PST

Why does an F6 require 4/5? I've had games where we are 8k gold down at 10 minutes and 2 people won't F6. It's a waste of our time if we're getting farmed, no one is doing well, and everyone is toxic. I just played a game where it was 2-16 at 10 minutes, everyone was feeding, and we had already lost. Doesn't help that I had a Jing Wei support who built nothing but crit and no boots. Or am Amaterasu who tried to out clear an Osiris and Nemesis and raged when she got farmed. Point being, can F6 votes be 3/5? No point in holding your teammates in a game that's lost where everyone is feeding and toxic.

Smite used up all my luck for getting a nu wa skin in the godlike chest

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 05:11 PM PST

If you're unfamiliar with ranked Conq/Joust, listen to the experienced players!

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 11:06 AM PST

PLEASE! I'm no pro gamer but I'm at least confident to attempt to make calls but its frustrating when nobody uses VGS to try to communicate. Id rather have a chance to win a match by trying to listen to 1 person than have 4 people doing random stuff on the map and taking uneven/unfair fights.

*FIXED* Smite Lore/Odyssey: Which gods belong to which factions?

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 03:51 PM PST

Deleted and reposted the original post, because I forgot there was a comic released in 2015 which told the story of the game, not sure how I completely forgot. The Old Order consists of gods who wish for mortals to fear them, using whatever means necessary. The Elysian Uprising wishes for mortals to be protected and free to choose. There are then multiple underlying factions, which I've attempted to sort below. Keep in mind that everyone who hasn't appeared in the comics or Odyssey is a complete guess on my part based from lore and their actions in Smite.

OLD ORDER

  • Zeus
  • Hades
  • Odin
  • Anubis
  • Ah Puch
  • Ra
  • Anhur
  • Aphrodite
  • Apollo
  • Artemis
  • Bastet
  • Bellona
  • Camazotz
  • He Bo
  • Freya
  • Hercules
  • Isis
  • Kukulkan
  • Nike
  • Osiris
  • Poseidon
  • Sobek
  • Zhong Kui

ELYSIAN UPRISING

  • Athena
  • Thor
  • Nu Wa
  • Neith
  • Mercury
  • Agni
  • Ah Muzen Cab
  • Amaterasu
  • Awilix
  • Bacchus
  • Chaac
  • Cernunnos
  • Ne Zha
  • Chang'e
  • Chiron
  • Erlang Shen
  • Cu Chulainn
  • Ganesha
  • Geb
  • Guan Yu
  • Hachiman
  • Hou Yi
  • Hun Batz
  • Jing Wei
  • Khepri
  • Rama
  • Serqet
  • Sol
  • Sylvanus
  • Ullr
  • Kali
  • Vamana
  • Vulcan
  • Xbalanque
  • Xing Tian

CHAOTIC FACTION (Mostly just evil, for themselves.)

  • Ares (Formerly Old Order)
  • Ao Kuang
  • Loki
  • Discordia
  • Arachne
  • Ymir
  • Hel
  • Cabrakan
  • Da Ji
  • Fafnir
  • Fenrir
  • Izanami
  • Kumbhakarna
  • Ravana
  • Kuzenbo
  • Medusa
  • Bakasura
  • Scylla

NEUTRAL FACTION (Unaligned gods or those who have hard-to-define relations.)

  • Artio
  • Janus
  • Chronos
  • Cupid
  • Nemesis
  • Nox
  • Raijin
  • Ratatoskr
  • Skadi
  • Terra
  • Thanatos
  • The Morrigan
  • Thoth
  • Susano
  • Tyr

Feel free to discuss.

Who was your favorite Season 4 god?

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 03:47 PM PST

SMITE God releases of 2017

What an awesome Season! This was my favorite year of god releases so far, personally. Yes, I included The Morrigan in there as well, as she was released after the 2017 SWC (where she was revealed) in the weeks leading up to Season 4. My favorites this year were Cu Chulainn and The Morrigan; I can decide which I prefer. Who was your favorite?

Opinions on Bacchus

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 09:50 AM PST

I gotta say. Tank Bacchus is absolutely wonderful when you just want to mess up the enemy team but I went full damage bacchus for the first time today and by gods did I have so much fun.

Granted using the super chill and bearly buzzed skins made the entire experience so much better even my team joined in on the fun.

What's your opinions on the alcohol chugging, honey sucking, kush pot toking god of wine?

Ullr buffs are insane! wait...

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 03:23 PM PST

The build these numbers come from is Warrior Tabi, Stacked Devos, Executioner, Titans Bane, Asi and Qins. The build also contains a 500 gold red pot, a 3000 gold red pot, red buff and FG buff.

Before the patch:

Bladed Arrow: 290+299.6 (331.1 with Expose Weakness)

Thrown Axe: 180+256.8 (283.8 with Expose Weakness)

Full Damage: 1026.4 (1084.4 with Expose Weakness)

After the patch:

Bladed Arrow: 290+342.4 (378.4 with Expose Weakness)

Thrown Axe: 180+299.6 (331.1 with Expose Weakness)

Full Damage: 1112 (1179.5 with Expose Weakness)

The difference in damage before the patch and after, with an optimal build and every buff available, there is only a difference of 85.6 points of damage. Assuming Expose Weakness is active, there is a difference of 95.1 points of damage. There is an absolute maximum of .4 seconds faster on his combo, based on ping.

The ability damage difference is negligible considering his basic attacks at 428 power are hitting for 552 damage before protections + Qins.

So could someone explain how these buffs made him broken?
