So...patch notes.

I like the new titans and the animations changes of He Bo ^^ For the Ares players...of course this patch is kinda...==

I'm happy for :

Chronos' Pendant small buff and cost reduce.

Zeus' slow immunity when Aegis shield is active is gone, Zeus can no longer laugh into my face when I'm using Pillars of Heaven.

No Chang'e nerf.

Breastplate of Valor is left untouched.

Polynomicon is left untouched.

Not happy for:

My 2nd favourite game mode, Domination got removed. I played that game mode every single day I logged into Smite. This is just sad, I never had issues trying to join this gamemode, I think enough people were playing this game mode for it to not be removed.

Expected a bigger Chaac nerf: lowering the heal, and dealing with his uber-powered ultimate was needed. 3 second silence, invicibility AND heavy damage, that's too much.

Void Stone nerf.

I like a lot of the item changes; makes some items not the "automatic pick" they've always been (I'm looking at you Sai's losing life steal)

A lot of the changes made no sense, but who cares because 4 bans!!! Suck it, overpowered, never getting nerfed Agni!

I never play domination, but straight up removing it is a little bit silly. Other than that, merc change saddens me (needed I guess), and art was a bit unnecessary, the item changes were good, and of course ZEUS NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERF! Seriously, the nerf was pretty big and I like it :)

double posted ^^

Love the qin sais patch :D
But not happy about breastplate of valour D:
Btw: who gets banned now since the merc and zeus patch ?

Vulcan.

Not-so-ninja edit: Actually, I decided to try some League plays today, because I was dope. Then I realized there was no auto-ban.

There's a little more preference in the bans now. The top 3 are Zeus, Agni and Mercury. I'd say Thor is fourth at the moment, but it's never a bad idea to ban Arachne in solo queue, and I still expect Chaac to get the ban treatment once people start playing him.
