I agree that was the biggest low point of Season 1, but that lasted for 2 weeks unlike the disaster that was released Bellona to now and moving onward. Everything in Season 2 has been severely destroyed the game and it appears that Hi-Rez don't have a clue how to fix what they caused.
"The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, ‘You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.’"
-George Carlin
Fixing this short term is easy. Remove Bluestone Pendant.
Seriously, this item is the worst of the season 2 changes. Sure, it makes a lot of ****ty hunters top tier before it was added, but funnily enough, giving a highly mana-dependent class unlimited mana unbalances the class.
In LoL, that item's passive is on a tier 3 item that costs 2700 gold, used on mana-hungry mages, and you get CDR and some magic resist but you sacrifice some potential power. In Smite, it's available as a starter item, for a class that desperately needs mana, without skimping on anything.
Bluestone replaced Transcendence for most mana reliant ADC's, and since bluestone only cost 800 unlike Trans which is much more and you have to build up the Mp5 and the mana needed to use get it to its full potential.
