I'm Back Baby

Doing good I landed a new job selling honey and its going really well, I go all over the place selling the stuff. I mostly go to farmers markets and it's really fun and great pay.

other then that I really had much time to play League, and Smite seams more casual so I started playing that again in my free time

Nothing much, teaching these Smitefireans how to actually like play games and handle stuff. How about you?

How cool would it be if the old gods of game of thrones became characters in Smite

also @Janitsu Whats up man?

Psh Game of Thrones zzzz

sigh... This Greenevers guy knows less than Jon Snow....

I do remember you :)

also thanks for the update it really brings me back up to speed :)

That.. was a really solid in-depth summary. Kudos to you green.

Hey there Ninja Trigger, remember me?

Quite a lot. A bunch of new items have been introduced and changed. More important than items are the meta and gods. Assuming you'll play conquest, I'll go over what happened from what I can remember. I'll start with the changes in Season 2.

New maps for oonquest and arena. New gods include Bellona, Medusa, Xing Tian, Ah Puch, Ratatoskr, Ravana, Khepri, Awilix, Sol, Hou Yi, Cabrakan, Kumbhakarna?, Janus? Zeus rework, Nox rework, Odin rework, Arachne rework, and Ao Kuang / Kukulkan switcheroo. Anubis, Bakasura, Bastet, Hercules, Loki, and Zeus have had remodels. There have been more but more subtly and I believe you were here for Hel, Freya, Hun Batz/Wukong, etc.

Biggest things:

• Hand of the Gods is not a good item anymore. For anyone, including junglers, supports, and solo laners.
• You do not start at mid camps (for the most part). Buff camps will give you more gold/xp than mid camps. Mid, support, and adc will start at red and solo and jungle will start at speed.
• Blue buff on the long side of the map has been changed to an attack speed (purple) buff. Buffs are now symmetrical to respective sides f.e. Speed is on my right side of the map, their left/my right. Used to be opposite sides where jungle would sometimes get speed or red. Now, jungle will always get speed and mid will mostly get red (sometimes given to support).
• Shoes of Focus has mana and cdr while Shoes of the Magi has pen and more power.
• travelers shoes/ Talaria Boots and Watcher's Gift are for supports to keep up in gold.
• Farming revolves around splitting camps and waves with teammates with the exception of your adc at times. Leads to more free xp and more gold with Bumba's Mask.
• Early game junglers tend to build tanky and utility based late game.
• ADC's have a variety of builds and starts. Transcendence and Devourer's Gauntlet are common stacking items depending on what hunter you're playing. Soul Eater is a good item for early lifesteal and survivability. Ichaival is good for early game boxing but The Executioner gives better penetration. Always build crit.
• Bluestone Pendant. Good power, early game poke, the solo lane/adc starts. Death's Toll may be a better option depending on the god.
• Healing and mobility are incredibly strong in this meta. Weakening Curse does not counter healing 100% and gods like Serqet, Thor, Awilix are strong right now.

Lots more to cover but I kind of just took a jab at my thoughts about what you should know. Lmk if there's anything you have a question on.

I have played on and off since Beta, but the last time I really played Smite on a regular basis was right before Nox first came out :P

@Arvorus, if he was here as a beta player, Nox wasn't released yet, and Sun Wukong had the kit of Hun Batz lol.

Well, Mail of Renewal is pretty good now. Zeus got buffed, and I'm not sure if you were here, but Nox got reworked. Sun Wukong is doing better because of Bluestone Pendant.

thanks glad to be back :)
