As an experienced player who plays conquest and joust like 50/50 conquest is fine, this is a fine change for conquest. However, joust is terrible now, 2-3 tanks per team and they just walk in your tower to kill your whole team less than 5 minutes in. One CC and you are dead. I’d imagine people who main something other than conquest have a different opinion than those that do
Never have I ever seen a 2 kill arena game. I'd be surprised if I've ever seen under 30 total tbh. I have played a lot of arena since 9.5 @@calvinpetri7391
By the way someone actually did post the "I got one shot by scylla at level 10 in the fountain" comment in the patch feedback thread lol. It's a real comment. Redditors are nuts.
The t2 items plus the revert make Assault much better. While I have a few changes I want to see, the biggest one is probably that dive tanks are much too strong. Nike went from really meh to being able to knock up and one-shot Squishies early. Bacchus is quite deadly too.
I would definitely consider myself as a casual and started playing the game after patch 9.5 so I never got to play like this before. BUT ITS SO MUCH BETTER OMG EVERY ROLE IS WAY MORE FUN
You can tell the complaints are skill issues bc even as a casual exclusive player i’m enjoying that people who are bad or make greedy plays don’t get rewarded nearly as much as they used to, if you’re good you won’t notice much difference other than how fast you die to 2v1’s as a squishy early on now
Arena is not fun without a group to coordinate with. Especially when you are fighting five man groups with a group of randos. You get hit with any cc you die.
I think inter should do a poll and see how people feel about the changes. I see a lot of vocal people praising the change, but I also see a few people saying they do not like the changes.
Last patch - good players are good and bad players can survive and camp tower This patch - good players are good and bad players feed their brains out and go back to Arena
@@tomascoelho5562 when its a drinking night id switch to arena after getting tilted in conquest and you could not kill anyone in arena, absolute shit mode that i assume is fixed now
She was fun to play but I think both before and after the rework, she could have been even cooler/more complicated. It's also the lack of counterplay that made Pers 1 an ass design. More fun? Absolutely, but problematic.
Idk what people are saying about not noticing the change, just playing one match I felt that change so brutally. It really did feel like I die so much faster as a mage and change or aphro heals are barely noticeable anymore.
Yeah this isn’t a good thing. My friend and I partied up and played a few games the other day and we had 20 deaths by 10 minutes in and we couldn’t understand why we were dying so much and so fast. Then I remembered they reverted 9.5 and everyone had piss poor health and defense now. It really doesn’t feel good anymore. We spent most of our games sitting back not doing shit because we were sick of dying constantly.
@@codyweber5505 have you ever maybe took the hint you guys arent good? ive been getting more kills and less deaths than ever because MY SKILL actually matters. i can outplay, push my lead, push my knowledge of this game and take advantage of people who cant abuse items anymore
I think the change is really good and it should absolutely stay like it is. The balance issues that arose from it can be handled as always with god and item nerfs/buffs. I just hope they don't go overboard. Like, just give some of the obvious overperformers like Thana a little touch down and see how it feels. Don't nerf them into the ground right away. Aside from the revert i think the tier 2 item changes are amazing. Obviously some fine tuning will be necessary but it definitly impacts the power spikes quite a bit and there are some fun little gimmicks like keeping tier 2 mantle until you hit full build.
The most annoying thing about the update are people not understanding how to play the game correctly. Everyone got really adjusted to how safer the game felt post 9.5 and a lot of matches people unintentionally feed because of this. So as a solo que casual I’m having fun because I know what gods to play and how to play but my teammates have been selling
I mean what did you expect to happen? People have been playing the game a certain way for years then they did the 9.5 update and everyone got used to playing more passive. Now they implemented a revert and people have to get used to playing the old way again. It’s gonna be a good year before people know how to play again and by that point they’ll change something else about the game and it won’t matter 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
@@codyweber5505 I feel like I worded what I said a bit harshly but I’m actually just kind of taken aback by the amount of people having difficulty with this patch. It’s natural for everyone to be struggling but idk man I feel like most of the player base are veterans and have been playing way before 9.5. For me it was like a flick was switched in my head and a whole new meta opened up and I just had so much joy thinking about what gods I can play again. I don’t know man, hopefully the community learns to enjoy this gameplay and the smite devs can fine tune this experience because it’s nowhere near perfect but it makes the game more fun IMO.
I’m noticing that there has been a resurgence of hunters in the meta in all roles and that kinda sucks since they shred hard, but it blows early game when everyone has barely any HP or DEF anymore. I’m not sure this was a good idea… I get it, games were lasting a bit too long, but they were balanced and fair. Now it feels super jank to die at 30 seconds in the game because a hunter hit 2 abilities and a few basics 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ and no it’s not a “skill issue” when some gods are seriously cracked now with all gods having less HP and DEF naturally
The duality of smite career gamers is wild. Get mad cuz no new players makes game die, bitch about skins from 2018 not being ported to a new game that isn't even out of alpha yet. Debate casual players about it being skill and not simply being one shot, then also go make an entire 30 min video of how Thanatos one shots and is broken since the change. Shitting on casual players when they disagree with them but then completely flip sides after a patch drops talking about how "smite is dead" "no new items? Smite dead" "this change isn't enough, they didn't do what I wanted them to do" "oh they revert 9.5? Fuck yeah smites back baby" "not everything is one shot" "Thanatos one shots everything" "shouldn't cater to casual players, but entire game is dependant on casual players" " we need new players so the game doesn't die" "go back to arena filthy casual" I love it. Allergic to consistency
every game feels winnable now (besides obvious stomps where your whole team is massively diffed). pre 11.6 i would lose a considerable amount of games because my team just could not kill a kuzenbo and his adc. only bad thing about this 9.5 revert is that adcs dont feel that good anymore, maybe im a washed adc but it feels so hard to be impactful as an adc besides objective burn
Been playing for about 5 years honestly this Change is good for ranked out side of ranked its a Absolutely miserable.Now playing with randoms is just not the play . Tanks can 100% solo most mages now but again that's out side of ranked
It’s pretty good for jungle and solo, you can def drop some heaters, though know games are now surrendered more than ever it feels like regardless of modes you could play 5 games and 3-4 of those games with be instant surrenders at 12 mins tops
honestly. i never understodd hwy people enjoy snowballing. it is fun for a bit then you end up waiting for them to surrender as they refuse to fight.... it gets so boring quickly. other than that i have no comment on the removal as i have yet to have an even match. It is either snowball hard or get snowballed hard atm for me. i do agree however a gradual reintor into this would have been better as again: Certain gods just dominate thanks to this. I know cerbuers has been utterly fun melting people with.
I dont think it was the best idea to do the revert like this, because it was fucking poorly planned. Im sure it will be good in the long term for game health, but right now, its clear that it was just a last minute addition to the patch. Over all, we're definitely going to see an increase in snowball, so i eagerly await for those complaints to come back.
I played like one smite match and I did not like it. Everything dies almost instantly and games feel like they are over before they even start. It feels lame af to me, but if that is what the players want... I'll just stick to pred.
Not a fan of the health revert. Tanks can just run at you and take half your health. Everything does huge damage. If your jungle or support are clueless tou get relentlessly ganked and one shot. Will just take some getting used to again as it requires extra caution
It is a very eh patch not bad but more boring than before unfortunately, games are short, snowballing is crazy not sure this will be good in the long run but time will tell.
Overall I think it's a good thing, the game as it was rewarded w-keying really hard, and now people who are bad at the game and got by on oonga boonga-ing the enemy team and getting out are getting exposed right now and those people are mad.
It definitely feels a little different but ive been putting a stupid amount of hours in the last few months and i dont see what all the hype is about because the game doesnt feel that much different. With how often the game is adjusted this feels like just another update to adapt to. 9.5 or not i play smite i like the game
Played a single ranked game last night. Had a support odin on the enemy team running it down since minute 1. He played like absolute garbage and was completely unkillable. He was top stats in every category and it wasnt even close. Some of the worst smite ive ever participated in.
I dont know, as a casual bad player who only play conquest not hitting 1 ability just ruins the whole game for me compared to before where theres more room for error. I play from Japan so theres ping issues too. Just git gud i guess. Current smite is good for players with better aim and who plays win groups
I will say one change they forgot about following up on is conquest changes, that way you can appease the ones crying about casuals without if effecting conquest balance
my normal ping is 100 but for a week it has been 160 and i cant play well with it DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A FIX FOR THIS the other games i play have good ping its only smite thanks in advance.
My KD has drastically increased, but makes sense. I am a person who likes engaging and will sacrafice my life to half health 3-4 people and win the team fight but now I am killing 2 then dying lol. Instead of half healthing
Warriors can brawl properly, hunters feel like they can shred like they should, assassins can assassinate and mages drop nukes and guardians actually feel impactful. Ive played since season 2, and it feels like a lot of the gods ive just neglected since 9.5 are finally feeling good again. Arenas a blast too
Definitely mid feels better, mlf for the last 2 years had to wait for item procs and late game damage to feel impactful. My first mid game with her I was able to half health with the 1-3 at lvl 2-3 after the enemy mid decided to stand in wave to clear and play in my range lol then my jungle hit 2 buttons and full killed them. A nice change compared to before where they would have not been low enough after my poke and also would have ate the jungle kit with beads to help them scurry to tower.
From an arena prospective. At first arena was worse. Everyone began to play super scared all game and no one was fighting. But now people are starting to re-learn their limits and the super passive playstyle is subsiding.
The game feels so good now. I’ve played every role and all feel good besides adc. Adcs are way less valuable now as they can get killed in 5 seconds. Personally I think AA hunters and being pushed out by ability hunters as they are more bursty which fits the meta.
There is no game which is not ending with surrender doesn't matter if you win or lose, but yeah i guess He is one of these streamers who asked for this update and happy that he get it
honestly after 2 days of this revert the game has lost almost all interest to me, its 0 fun anymore and now im just waiting for the next smite 2 alpha because they kinda ruined smite 1 for me
@@jomaroal22 exactly my feelings, i also see the kids have already arrived and feel the need to abuse and belittle people with different opinions rather than have a discussion with them - not liking the current patch doesnt mean we are bad at the game or we are constantly losing, last night i played 5 games and won 4 of them, but i maybe enjoyed 1 of those games.. its just boring to 1 shot or be 1 shot imo
@@dainbramage3558 who arrived? Lmao. I also won some games yesterday but is so boring past the 10 min knowing there is no way the enemy can comeback the game. It just feels like you need to wait for them to F6 or lose 15 more minutes
