GOD BALANCE

  • Agni

    While we don’t think Agni’s lategame power is too much stronger than other mages, his poke especially after hitting level 5 is some of the best in the game. We’re targeting that with this nerf - but he’s still on our watchlist for further changes.

ITEM BALANCE


Physical Components:

Strength giving component items are being tuned down this patch. The goal here is to reduce early game in-hand power a bit, while keeping lategame power at about the same level. Across the board, Smite 2’s gods have higher basic attack power, and strength items were also giving quite a bit more power per cost towards inhands.
  • Axe
    - Strength reduced from 10 to 5

  • Skeggox
    - Strength reduced from 25 to 15

  • Lucerne Hammer
    - Strength reduced from 35 to 20

  • Transcendence
    - Max Mana reduced from 400 to 250
    - Mana per stack is now a shared buff with Book of Thoth called Mana Infusion that grants 10 mana per stack.
    - Mana Infusion has a max stack count of 50.

  • Book of Thoth
    - Mana per stack is now a shared buff with Transcendance called Mana Infusion that grants 10 mana per stack.
    - Mana Infusion has a max stack count of 50.

  • Blinking Abyss

    Blinking Abyss is an item we are still going to keep a close watch on. While we feel that most players enjoy being able to reposition in combat, the cost and stats the item provides were not really a tradeoff at all, and its ability to be used to escape by backliners was happening a bit too often. The cooldown change here increases the cooldown when the damage component doesn’t hit, but the cooldown remains the same when Blinking Abyss is used aggressively. Notably, we are not increasing the cooldown of the Blink Relic with this change either.

    - Cost increased from 1250 to 1350
    - All stats from Items reduced from 6% to 5%
    - Cooldown increased from 170 to 200
    - Damage decreased from 150 + 30% of Strength and Intelligence to 25 + 10% of Strength and Intelligence.
    - Cooldown Reduction from hitting an enemy target with followup damage increased from -35s to -65s

  • Breastplate of Valor
    - Healing no longer counts towards reduced cooldowns.

  • Heartwood Charm
    - Passive and Active have been Redesigned, now:
    -- 20% reduced cooldown for healing abilities.
    -- When you heal with abilities, 20% of that healing is copied into the Charm, up to 350 healing.
    -- On use: Heal all allies around you equal to the amount stored in the Charm.

Plating and Dampening:

We’re revisiting Plating and Dampening as stats in this patch. Initially, we wanted to give Plating and Dampening items fairly high amounts of their own mitigation on each item picked up, allowing you to flex to counter certain types of attacks by buying them. However, because of how these played with protections and mitigation already, that meant we couldn’t put much protections on items that had them, if at all. And that made these items less attractive to pick up in a build.

Instead, we’re moving to reducing Plating and Dampening on individual items, but combining them with protections. Meaning you’ll get less of these stats from each item you buy, but you’ll get more universal defenses with them, allowing you to build up your Plating and Dampening stats through a game. Along with that, because there are less Plating and Dampening items in general, we’re adding the stats to older items that previously didn’t have them as well.
