God Bots
- Note: God Bots are undergoing constant iteration, both to improve their behavior and address issues in response to changes in Smite 2’s gameplay systems during Alpha. So most of the points listed here are still being fixed and tuned. All of these address Conquest God Bots, but some also apply to Arena bots as well
- Improved end-game AI playcalling. God Bots will more often try to find picks and group up to push into enemy structures when they see an opportunity
- Improved combat behavior defending under Tower - will now more consistently clear minions and fight back
- Improved combat behavior when laning - will now attempt to fall back when lane pressure builds against them, and will fully retreat to their Tower when massively disadvantaged
- God Bots can now purchase and use Relics
- God Bots will now Recall to purchase items when they have enough Gold
- Ranged God Bots will now try to position better while laning, keeping distance between themselves and nearby threats
- Ranged God Bots will now try their best to stand somewhat clear of their own minion wave, to avoid taking incidental damage from enemy lane clear
- God Bots will no longer automatically retaliate when taking damage from another enemy God, but instead have a chance to fight back if the damage is high enough - this is to address situations where a single tick of small damage was triggering a massive response from enemy God bots
- Addressed instances where God Bots could get stuck trying to path around enemy Minions
- Fixed Anhur bot not using his Pillar
- Fixed some instances where God Bots could get stuck on Jungle Camps

- Fixed an issue where God Bots in the tutorials would not play strafe or backpedal animations
- Fixed an issue where God Bots would leap into combat when trying to escape
- Fixed God Bots not jumping enough

General

Ranked

Trio Queue
- Parties up to size 3 are now permitted in Ranked Conquest
Party Matchup Protections
- The addition of Trio’s back into Ranked necessitates match protections to ensure only statistically fair matchups of parties on teams are possible to be made
- The matchups were chosen by observation of matches that were biased by less than +/- 1% win rate in either team's direction in Casual Conquest, however the chosen matchups are subject to change if Ranked produces different results
- The valid matchups are:
  - 11111v11111
  - 2111v11111
  - 2111v2111
  - 221v221
  - 311v221
  - 311v311
  - 32v311
  - 32v32
Solo Queue SR Protections
- Solo players who lose a match after being placed in a match where the enemy team has a party will experience a slight reduction in SR losses
- SR protection will scale depending on how much of the enemy team is composed of parties, with the greatest SR protection occurring during the 32v311 matchup
SR Soft Reset
- To facilitate the introduction of Trio queues and observe their effect we are applying a soft reset to our highest rated players
- The reset will apply to players such that:
  - Master 3+
    - Reset back to Obsidian 2
  - Diamond 2 to Obsidian 1
    - Reset to Diamond 2
  - Clay to Diamond 3
    - No Reset
- This is the final Soft Reset of the Ranked Test Season
- The next season, in January, will bring the first “Hard Reset”
5-Stack Ranked Queue
- 5-Stacks have been disabled in Ranked Conquest
  - Reexamining how to best implement competitive play for 5-stacks
Ranked Draft Lobby
- Added which team and player is Banning and picking in the upper left corner of the God Select lobby for better clarity
- Fixed some text overlap issues during the pick and ban phases

Modes

God Bots
- Note: God Bots are undergoing constant iteration, both to improve their behavior and address issues in response to changes in Smite 2’s gameplay systems during Alpha. So most of the points listed here are still being fixed and tuned. All of these address Conquest God Bots, but some also apply to Arena bots as well
- Improved end-game AI playcalling. God Bots will more often try to find picks and group up to push into enemy structures when they see an opportunity
- Improved combat behavior defending under Tower - will now more consistently clear minions and fight back
- Improved combat behavior when laning - will now attempt to fall back when lane pressure builds against them, and will fully retreat to their Tower when massively disadvantaged
- God Bots can now purchase and use Relics
- God Bots will now Recall to purchase items when they have enough Gold
- Ranged God Bots will now try to position better while laning, keeping distance between themselves and nearby threats
- Ranged God Bots will now try their best to stand somewhat clear of their own minion wave, to avoid taking incidental damage from enemy lane clear
- God Bots will no longer automatically retaliate when taking damage from another enemy God, but instead have a chance to fight back if the damage is high enough - this is to address situations where a single tick of small damage was triggering a massive response from enemy God bots
- Addressed instances where God Bots could get stuck trying to path around enemy Minions
- Fixed Anhur bot not using his Pillar
- Fixed some instances where God Bots could get stuck on Jungle Camps
- Fixed God Bots not using their consumable potions

- Fixed an issue where God Bots in the tutorials would not play strafe or backpedal animations
- Fixed an issue where God Bots would leap into combat when trying to escape
- Fixed God Bots not jumping enough

Ranked

Trio Queue
- Parties up to size 3 are now permitted in Ranked Conquest
Party Matchup Protections
- The addition of Trio’s back into Ranked necessitates match protections to ensure only statistically fair matchups of parties on teams are possible to be made
- The matchups were chosen by observation of matches that were biased by less than +/- 1% win rate in either team's direction in Casual Conquest, however the chosen matchups are subject to change if Ranked produces different results
- The valid matchups are:
  - 11111v11111
  - 2111v11111
  - 2111v2111
  - 221v221
  - 311v221
  - 311v311
  - 32v311
  - 32v32
Solo Queue SR Protections
- Solo players who lose a match after being placed in a match where the enemy team has a party will experience a slight reduction in SR losses
- SR protection will scale depending on how much of the enemy team is composed of parties, with the greatest SR protection occurring during the 32v311 matchup
SR Soft Reset
- To facilitate the introduction of Trio queues and observe their effect we are applying a soft reset to our highest rated players
- The reset will apply to players such that:
  - Master 3+
    - Reset back to Obsidian 2
  - Diamond 2 to Obsidian 1
    - Reset to Diamond 2
  - Clay to Diamond 3
    - No Reset
- This is the final Soft Reset of the Ranked Test Season
- The next season, in January, will bring the first “Hard Reset”
5-Stack Ranked Queue
- 5-Stacks have been disabled in Ranked Conquest
  - Reexamining how to best implement competitive play for 5-stacks
Ranked Draft Lobby
- Added which team and player is Banning and picking in the upper left corner of the God Select lobby for better clarity
- Fixed some text overlap issues during the pick and ban phases
