T5 stands for Tier 5; all skins are given a tier based on what they do: recolors are T1, while the more elaborate skins that add new affects and/or animations are T5. Basically the higher the tier, the more expensive the skin.

T5 usually are skins that change during the match and also have animated cards. But this Hou yi skin has a mediocre change (to not say horrible), bad voice pack, trash card and the only special effect to justify why it is a T5 is the ulti.

To further elaborate on this, according to Smite Wiki:
Quoted:
God skins are separated in different tiers, each tier having more customized elements and higher cost than the previous one.
• Tier 1: These skins generally cost 100 Gems or 9500 Favor, consist of color changed or "recolored" versions of the default skins, and use the default skin's voice pack. Sometimes these skins come with custom visual effects. Example: Toxic Caress Arachne, Incinerator Agni.
• Tier 2: These skins generally cost 250 Gems, consist of minor model changes and upgrades from the default skins, and use the default skin's voice pack. Example: Valkyrie Freya, Crimson Death Kali.
• Tier 3: These skins generally cost 400 Gems. They are model changes with a different theme than the original's. They may also have minor special visual effects, animation changes, and often include a custom voice pack. Example: Blind Vengeance Nemesis, Brynhildr Bacchus.
• Tier 4: These skins generally cost 600/750 Gems. They are full model changes with a different theme than the original's that include major animation changes, new special visual effects, and always have a custom voice pack. Example: HeBro He Bo, Elite Agent Apollo.
• Tier 5: These are special limited skins that come with unique cosmetic features that no other skins have. Example: Archon Thanatos, Ragnarok Force X Thor.
Oh thats what you mean. Yea I agree the new skin for Hou yi is overall trash. But I never knew there were different classifications of skins. I usually just referred to them as 100, 250, 400 or 750 skins or regular, mastery, exclusive, and unlimited skins lol.
