I have absolutely loved the introduction of pregame active choices. Additionally the other pregame passive choice that the player is provided lends to a very interesting commitment to a playstyle. I hope that they continue to add many more actives and passives after much testing that will lend to unique playstyles.

I wish Titan Forge would allow competitive queue for trios and 5 stacks in comp... The reason I don't play ranked conquest and only ranked joust is because they only allow duo queue

[auwli]

Would this not be the return of Fist of the Gods?

[nightmarephd]

Yall should just go to smite 1 relic system.

Only one more month guys <3
Are any more Alpha Weekends coming until EA?

I'd like a support relic that's basically shell. The support items in S2 are a little underwhelming at the moment. They're all pretty selfish items that benefit you the most and don't really help out your team much. I know S2 is trying to go away from aura items but what if aura items in s2 were situational? like an item that starts with no passive, but the more god assists you get in a team fight the better the passive gets, and when the team fight is over the passive resets back to zero. Lets do a war flag mock up for s2

*war flag*
2400 Gold
max health: 150
Physical Prots: 25
Magical Prots: 25

Passive: On god assist, gain a stack of 4% movement speed and attack speed in an aura around you, stacks last 10 seconds but if your team ever gets a deicide this aura is maintained for the next 30 seconds.

so at max stacks (deicide) this item provides 20% movement speed and attack speed for 30s around you. Meaning that you can hustle over to gold fury/fire giant/phoenix faster now that you won a major fight. I think this passive is awesome and if anything the stats should be nerfed, not the passive.

Please something that boosts healing and gives speed!!

I would like to see two relic slots that I can choose to fill. with wards being separated. as it stands blink and beads are too good to not have either. I don't see myself picking anything else else unless I had two slots.

[Not_Deb]

I really hope you guys improve and give a more authentic touch to the Indian Faction...and this might just tap the Indian PC Gaming market

[gontrix]

Will we have LATAM north servers? Or we have to play on 130 ping like smite 1?

[Random-ygfi]

Personally I feel like a majority of active items could be turned into relics instead.

But that’s mainly because I think active items add too many buttons to press (especially for controller). Though that’s more of a boogie man since most builds would realistically only need 1-2 active items

[acybercena]

Just bring back fist of the gods with .5 sec stun, a actual lore fitting item.

[darrirro]

Question, why do your gameplay videos look low quality? ironic, it would be nice to put a little more effort into those details

[joefoe]

As long as aegis never returns all is good with me.

[YourPrinceStolas]

I mean if you need more ideas just go back to what you started with and play LoL for another 5 hours, you'll find something

[alexboyt]

Cool Idea! This looks fun and really unique, I have some other ideas for new relics:

Ignite: Sets the target champion on fire for 5 seconds, dealing damage
Exhaust: Weakens the target champion for 3 seconds, slowing them
Barrier: Grants your champion a shield
Ghost: Gain movement speed and avoid champion collision

A teleportation relic would be nice, but to twist it up a smidge from the Smite 1 version:
⚪️You could only teleport anywhere that’s within a 250-500 unit radius around you (Without needing a ward to home in on)…
⚪️Other allied gods could interact with you during the teleport to make the jump with you…
⚪️It would retrain the Smite 1 bonuses to protections and movement speed, and would pass those to ALL the gods you teleport with you…
⚪️And it would have trade-off wherein the more gods you teleport with you, the longer the item’s cooldown becomes (an additional 10 seconds for every extra good you make the jump with, up to 40 extra seconds)…

I would also like to have the Relic Dagger return, and be retuned in lieu of how there’s (at present) only 1 proper relic. I’m thinking that it would be the first item in the game with a passive AND an active effect at the same time, while also conferring it’s effects to activated item effects:
_Relic Dagger_
2450 Gold (To match the item’s Smite 1 price when it has a glyph)
Movement Speed - 10%
MPS - 10
CDR - 25

Passive- Relic and active item cooldowns are reduced by 30 seconds. After activating a Relic or Active item ability, you gain 10% extra Protections and movement speed for 20 seconds.

Active- For the next 10 seconds, you gain 2.5% of your maximum health and mana for every Relic and Active Item that is used within 100 units of yourself by either team’s gods.

So you brought back old stuff and admit to being scared to bring new things. You say this is a new relic, yet if we're being honest it's just FoG from before. So are these other "new" ideas you guys have the and "new" as that. NOW is the time to test NEW things

[AphroOrTroll]

Stop being afraid to break stuff there is no pro league or even ranked break the game ! Smite 1 is in its best state ever because the focus is on fun not that a knockup lasts .0001 second to long so a pro player might die we do not care

[shanes]

Please keep Aegis out of the game, beads is fine, but Aegis is just a get out of jail free card for most non-pro players.
