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.

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 changed to →1350
• All stats from Items reduced from 6% changed to →5%
• Cooldown increased from 170 changed 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 changed to →-65s

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.

Loki

Change1 line

• Loki Stealth - In OB36, the attenuation radius was stealthily increased for Loki’s stealth and reveal sounds to more closely resemble SMITE 1. Player feedback revealed that the reveal attenuation did not need to be as large as the stealth attenuation, so the reveal attenuation has been reduced. Loki apologized for unnecessarily scaring players, but his hand was behind his back and may have had his fingers crossed.

• Hit sounds now duck the volume of other sounds to increase impact. I tried to write a joke for this, but Chronos said something about time being a flat circle and told me to get back to work.
