Good idea. I always thought it was weird engaging to disengage so that you could engage

[FiyahKitteh]

I did find the change a bit of a pity, given I liked to make my weaves with my backflip, but I'll get used to it. I definitely love her new look <3

[juanerre]

I'm waiting for the next alpha weekend to play with her again 😍

[idarkstarx]

My mains be crying by the wayside. (Tiamat, Set, Fafnir, King Arthur, Danzaburou.)

[TheWolf]

looks like her animations aren't as stiff as they are in the live version of the game. I'll hope for the best, what else can I do

[MrVortex]

I can't wait for the game to release)

[CeLillyMusic]

Tbh as a rather careful player I kind of liked running away while causing the damage 😂 i miss it already, she used to be my mine. Maybe I can get used to it though

[DRoxide]

Damn wish I had alpha access, seeing as she was my main 😂

[TheMegazonyx]

Wait...
Did her ultimate pierce multiple gods?

[timezero]

My 1st ever goddess I ever played and stuck to her until I tried Nu and then Aphrodite was released.

[StayVCA]

I love the gameplay changes y'all doing, keep it up, I guess my only take is don't forget to change Ability Names if ever!! ☺️

[Jormyyy]

This should've been how her weaves worked for years now lol but does her ult finally interact with it or nah?

[codyfranck]

I would have rather seen a complete rework

[Barrymore]

I hope they improve the walking animation. Still as outdated as Smite 1.

[traviszane]

They nerfed the damage you do for multiple weave explosions.

[BradTheThird]

Oh I thought you'd actually changed something.

Neith could already be played as a "mage" by building trascen, jotuns, heartseeker build or normal adc. You just destroyed the entire point of her passive and skill around it. The reason u want the weave in ur 3, is bc the 3 slows, making sure they get hit by both instances of ur 1 dmg. Also, in escape situations, u will dash away, then turn to 1 (and with no time to aim directly to the enemy, aiming for the weave is perfect). Also, the only way to punish neith insta clear minions with her 1 + explosion combo, and actually have a chance at winning lane, is the fact that she has to use her escape move to set it up. You just broke her basic gameplay loop, removed the skill surrounding it, vastly reduced her survivability and gave her 0 counterplay. Another awesome "rework" guys!

what did console players do to deserve crossplay with PC? Have you noticed that every single console player is 1000 less MMR than before crossplay and you think that is fine?

[chrisgodley]

Smite is just playing bots with the odd real player playing so I hope I haven’t thrown away the cost of buying into smite 2

[thunderclaps]

i can finally play Caith from league but AP spam ult with burn
