5.3 "Hero of the Trojan War" Patch Showcase Posted: 21 Feb 2018 01:00 PM PST https://www.smitegame.com/news/hero-of-the-trojan-war-5-3-pc-update-notes Skins Skin Skin Type How To Get Kage Ratatoskr Exclusive Adventure Reward Abyssal Warrior Wukong Exclusive Countess Chang'e Exclusive Pot O' Gold Fafnir Exclusive Playful Bunny Nu Wa Exclusive Item Balance Soul Gem New Passive-On successful hit of an Ability you gain 1 stack. At 4 Stacks your next Ability that damages an enemy God will deal bonus damage equal to 40% of your Magical power, and will heal yourself and allies within 20 units for 40% of your Magical Power and will consume the 4 stacks. Doom Orb Updated Self Buff FX for when Doom Orb's Passive buff is active Typhon's Fang Decreased Magical Lifesteal from 15% to 10% Decreased Passive Healing bonus from lifesteal from 50% to 40% Warlock's Staff Decrease Power from 75 to 65 Decrease Power per stack from .6 to .5 Warlock's Staff now provides 115 Magical Power when fully evolved, down from 135. Book of the Dead Decreased Mana used to form shield from 25% to 15% Malice Decreased Physical Power from 50 to 40. Increased Critical Strike Chance from 20% to 25%. NEW PASSIVE – Every Critical Strike against an enemy God gives one stack. At 3 stacks, your next ability that damages an enemy God will consume the stacks and deal bonus damage over time to the first God hit for 120% of your physical power. Damage is dealt in 3 ticks over 2s. Rage Increased cost from 2400 to 2500. Decreased Physical Power from 30 to 20. Increased Critical Strike Chance per stack from 1% to 2%. Rage now provide 40% total Critical Strike chance when fully evolved, up from 35%. Soul Eater Decreased Stacks needed from 100 to 75 Increased Bonus Physical Power on Evolved from 10 to 20. Soul Eater now provides 60 Physical power when fully evolved, up from 50. Warrior's Blessing Increased Evolved Bonus Protections from 10/10 to 15/15 Decreased the stacks gained from gods from 5 to 3 Hunter's Blessing Adjusted how the item provides Basic Attack Damage. This fixes a few issues where this item interacted with various abilities and systems in the game. This item now better interacts with hit chain progression, abilities that scale with Basic Attack damage, and a few edge case scenarios. In some case this is a buff for characters (anyone with a slower hit chain) and in others this is a nerf for characters (The Morrigan's Passive). God Balance Arachne WEB-Reduced Cooldown from 18s to 16s, Can now have 3 webs at once, up from 2. Cerberus GHASTLY BREATH-Increase Damage per Tick from 15/25/35/45/55 to 20/30/40/50/60 SOUL EXPULSION-Increases range from 40 to 50 STYGIAN TORMENT-Decrease Post-Fire from 1.4 to 0.1, Cerberus is now Crippled for 1.2s after firing this ability.

I watch the patchnotes show for insight into balance changes, not for the exclusive skins. Posted: 21 Feb 2018 04:22 PM PST I don't care much for skins, most of my characters don't get new ones very often anyway but I like to hear insight from hirez about balance changes and just showing skins and a brief picture of buffs and nerfs feels honestly lazy. I understand when its a new season you can't go to deep into it but doing a "Patch show" feels lazy to me and gives me no reason to watch. submitted by /u/Godman873 [link] [comments]

Patchnotes vs Showcase Debate Posted: 21 Feb 2018 03:21 PM PST It appears the format for which patch updated information to be shared has changed drastically. It seems the format has strayed off from explaining the numbers and reasonings behind nerfs, buffs, and balances in favor of "showcasing" cosmetics and new features/events for SMITE. The days where skins were mentioned last and information digested first are gone, I'll give hirez the benefit of there's just more content overall in comparison to years past, however I believe nerfs, buffs, balances MAKE or BREAK the game and should be considered an important topic to be discussed to your audience, from the horse's mouth in other words. Some of the changes in this patch are significant while others are not. I think Freya's nerf is death, 15% to 5% life-steal isn't worth mentioning to the audience ? Some would say Ullr's nerf is a slap on the wrist, or a joke. This is all just my opinion and I'm sure there are those opinions that differ. I just appreciate the content creators explaining what they've done and for what reasons, not just shown on a blog to take in good faith. submitted by /u/SullySoNice [link] [comments]

Achilles is now alphabetically the first god on the god select menu Posted: 21 Feb 2018 07:31 PM PST It's the first time in Smite's history where a new god comes before Agni alphabetically. As a veteran player, it might feel strange to not see Agni at the forefront of the god menu :) Also hype. submitted by /u/_Frustr8d [link] [comments]

The Smite Console League must return. Posted: 21 Feb 2018 05:03 PM PST As you all know the SCL (Smite Console League) has been reformatted and renamed to the SCS (Smite Console Series). Many Console pros, including myself, were very confused as to why they got rid of the League and quite frankly there is no explanation from Hi-Rez as to why they did such a thing. The League is no more. We are also extremely upset with the prizing and LAN structure for the upcoming Spring and Summer LANs. The SCS is a copy and paste from the Paladins Console Series. You compete in weekly tournaments for points to qualify for the Monthly tournament which then qualifies you for LAN (Top 2 teams from NA and EU go to LAN). The monthly tournament has a prize pool. First place is $2000, Second is $1500, third is $800. (You get the point). The prizing has gone down SIGNIFICANTLY during online play which is a major issue. If you finish 5-8th during the monthly online tournament you receive a measly $60. (Last year you would make about $800-1000 as a player if you finished 5th-6th) There were 6 teams in the North American Console Pro League last year and if you told the 5th and 6th place team they only made $60 from 4 weeks of play they would be PISSED. And I would be pissed with them. Now, once you make LAN you have a 50k prize pool you compete for. This is still an issue. 50k is nothing compared to the 101k in prizing this time last year for Console for the same LAN. It just doesnt make any sense. SCL was in it's prime. Myth Gaming, the underdogs, defeated the Mighty Astral Authority on the Worlds stage. It was HYPE. There were so many storylines going into every LAN last year, so many rivalrys, and now there wont nearly be as many cause the scene has been so depleted. Everyone is pissed off. It's not fair. The League needs to be brought back. Hi-Rez please bring back the League, alot of really great players are leaving cause its just not worth their time. And I dont blame them. -Xbox Smite Community submitted by /u/RyanJarman [link] [comments]

Fiancée making smite stickers & Fanart! Posted: 21 Feb 2018 11:46 AM PST Hey everyone I am newer to the Reddit but definitely not to SMITE and I thought it'd be cool to show off what my Fiancée has been doing recently with her art since it revolves around SMITE. For the last year I've been showing her SMITE and even took her to HrX for this years World's and since then she has fell in love with the game. She is shy to show her stuff off so she gave me permission to post the stuff here myself considering I feel her work is amazing and honestly feel others would also give her the confidence to continue making SMITE art. She also has recently made a Red Bubble to make stickers and has made already a Sol Sticker and Thoth sticker (one I use as a emote for my personal stream). The Da ji picture (Below linked to Twitter) is her submission into the contest that is ending this March and the sticker links can be found below! Feedback is welcomed considering I feel this might be a good confidence booster for her and maybe it will encourage her to work on characters with armor (since she isn't to keen on armor). https://twitter.com/berrutea/status/965428030402367488 https://www.redbubble.com/people/berrutea/works/30388932-thoth-ree-smite https://www.redbubble.com/people/berrutea/works/30479952-sol-smite https://www.redbubble.com/people/berrutea/works/30479983-sol-supernova-smite submitted by /u/Caboose3223 [link] [comments]

The malice changes are better for Auto attack based physicals *NOT* ability based physicals & and easy fix. Posted: 21 Feb 2018 05:16 PM PST 25% crit and 40 power with the current price still intact and the new passive: Every Critical Strike against an enemy God gives one stack. At 3 stacks, your next ability that damages an enemy God will consume the stacks and deal bonus damage over time to the first God hit for 120% of your physical power. Damage is dealt in 3 ticks over 2s. This is... stupid.... We are redesigning Malice to focus more on ability damage characters who like to build Critical Strike Chance. So you need crit chance.... to empower an ability.... Lets think about this for a moment: more crits = more reliable stacking Faster basics = faster stacking You only need to deal ability damage ONCE. This means ANYONE CAN USE IT [Examples off the top of my head: Artemis, Apollo, Kali, Bakasura, Cernunnos] Require ability based characters to build around a single expensive item if they want to fit it in. The proper solution would be to swap the requirements: Dealing ability damage against an enemy Gods give one stack. At 3 stacks, your next critical strike that damages an enemy God will consume the stacks and deal bonus damage over time to the first God hit for 120% of your physical power. Damage is dealt in 3 ticks over 2s. This way you would need something like Chiron, Neith, Camazotz, Ne zha to actually land their abilities and they would still be able to build stats they like such as CDR and pen rather than an awkward hybrid build to utilize an item meant for them. Consistently hit abilities Empower your basic to deal large damage Fit nicely into pre-existing builds Retains is previous goal of 'crit hard once' submitted by /u/Godman873 [link] [comments]

Two other people made a thread; I will too. This new style of patchnotes is trash. Posted: 21 Feb 2018 07:55 PM PST Given how late in the day it is across nearly all time zones. We wait this long... just to see and talk about skins in depth? Are you serious? Patch notes haven't even been decently long or meaty since the start of the new season/for a while, and now you take away even more? There is physically no reason to make us wait this long for the stream if it's really just about skins and gods; and gods can take a long while to release if they wish to delay them for reasons, making the show just that much smaller and pointless when we don't get a new one. At this point: Cut out the streams entirely, release a small youtube video show casing the skins. Give us the written notes on the website way earlier in the day. (Because this new format is again stupid and makes no sense for us to wait this long) Only do a stream (and properly announce it on social media platforms) when there's a new god to be shown. Or go back to talking about everything, which justifies how long we have to wait to see the patchnotes. submitted by /u/VelvetNightFox [link] [comments]

Community Tier List 5.2 Posted: 21 Feb 2018 10:18 AM PST Two days ago, I asked the users of /r/Smite to vote on the balance of the gods to help me create a community-created tier list.

5.3 Update Notes - Spoils! Posted: 21 Feb 2018 07:17 AM PST Update Showcase will be broadcast at 4PM EST (10PM CET). Watch on Twitch and YouTube 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. Complete Update Notes for 5.3 "Hero of the Trojan War" are here! The Good Stuff - Newest first! Achilles - God Release Teaser Art #1 - Twitter - Imgur Teaser Art #2 - Twitter - Imgur - Hindu no, that's Erlang Shen in drag. In all seriousness, it has to be Achilles. There's no fooling us. Fafnir Skin Teaser Art - Twitter Freya is seeing a nerf - Twitter The necklace picture here, combined with the nerf bat, indicates that her passive is taking a hit. Spoil Debunk: Amaterasu is NOT getting buffed this patch - Twitter The non-Conquest blessings are definitely coming back this patch - Twitter The 2nd one of the 4 Ratatoskr skins from the Adventure is releasing this patch. Early Teasers - Content which hasn't been fully revealed yet or is up for speculation. A god release is confirmed for this patch, and they will be shown today! - Twitter No specifics about the god yet. Something something marshmalllows, but for what god? - Twitter - Imgur This might be for Chang'e, it seems. Warlock's Staff is seeing a small nerf this patch - Twitter Soul Gem will be re-released this patch - Twitter It will also see a slight redesign - Twitter HiRez: "We like this item's identity of being able to heal yourself and others from using your abilites. While this item varied in power heavily based on which god purchased it, it also had unintended interactions that caused it to further boost its power. We plan on making a design change to this item to address this, while keeping its core identity intact." PonPon has been "working on something you guys finally get to see :D" - Twitter Since he's a Game/System Designer, this won't be a skin or balance change but some improvement to the game experience overall. Maybe the long awaited overhaul to Clans? Miscellaneous Info and other (unconfirmed) spoils for future patches Looks like a god release is in the pipeline, no confirmation for this patch though - Twitter A god release has been confirmed for this patch, see the spoil above. Skin Plans - Powered by ChukTM There will be more Anime-themed skins in the future - Twitter Genderbent skins are unlikely, since that requires creating a whole new god model for just 1 skin - Twitter Other possible skins that haven't been released yet: Agni (Fluffy & Dog-themed) - Anubis - Artio (Panda) - Cerberus (Fluffy & Dog-themed) - Erlang Shen (Serious) - Khepri (Crab/Cancer Zodiac) - Ravana (Eliminator Re-Release) - Thoth (Chibi) This is a WIP, please post anything that I left out.
