Was fafnir's ultimate getting a duration increase not a spicy change? Max rank you stay transformed 60 seconds that's alot of double stun combos. The QoL buff he got with his jumps is also nice.

Change is always new, fun, and exciting. I think some gods were a little overturned and some weren’t super impactful. Overall, I liked them!

[ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

I think it would be nice if Loki did extra damage to ALL gods under “blinding” sorta effects (Ra’s and Set’s abilities come to mind for one).

[Carneasada]

Gilgamesh could also benefit from uncaped hp5. He gains 30 from his 1 and a lot of his the items he wants give him hp5. His hp5 already goes crazy tho so idk if it would be balanced.

I don’t think a buff making a god top of the meta makes it a bad buff. I think it’s the method by which they’re put there. If it’s a buff like thoth that’s just giving them a 7th stat stick item as a buff, then it’s bad. Because the only way to bring them back into balance is to undo some of what was done to put them there. But when it’s pele for example, her buff actually changes how you play her and manage her 3. I think even though that made her top of the meta, it’s a great buff. Saying “something being made meta is bad” would be like saying mamann is a bad god just because of how strong she was on release imo

[timebandit]

Hirez should definitely keep taking advantage of SMITE 1 having no pro scene to balance on and keep implementing new fun mechanics to gods. The spicy changes have made me want to play gods I haven’t found fun in years. Maybe it means we can also expect some spicy changes on the gods when they are ported to SMITE 2?

Athenas taunt needs to be like danza’s where taking a % of your max health as damage breaks the taunt.

[CanadianDH]

I want them to do more spicy changes for year 11

[yelam]

King Arthur is in a solid spot ? How ? He is one of the worst warriors right now.

[Frost-wcju]

My only issue is that (and idk if you watch the live streams but I feel from videos maybe you don’t?) is that some of these aren’t “spicy” changes in 11.3. As they state “these changes aren’t spicy but are meant to tweak gods to make them feel better play wise. Not buffing or nerfing just fixing” as with Zeus recalling his shield and Cthulhu not being stuck in stance when channeling, Agni being able to move, Bastet canceling her jump for faster cooldown sorta thing. As they move into smite 2 they said they are looking at gods individual and seeing what makes them feel/play better in terms of animation, timing, canceling, etc. not really buffs but just non buffing/nerfing balances.

hel should get infinite MP5 and a buff to her MP5 generation, i think shed be a lot better as even late game she will still run out of mana

[SaltedMista]

honestly i welcome the "spicy changes" since its pretty fun, aslong as it doesnt break the game

[hisen.]

I think commenting on the "balance" aspect of these changes is kinda unfair. I get the idea, don't get me wrong but I still don't think it makes sense to determine if they were successful based on their balance changes. Especially when you're comparing 2 separate patches with different release dates and I'd rather see these ranked on how they improved the god rather than if they were healthy for the game.

Hats with the first round of spicy changes? Serq and Janus

[paulhicks]

Bastet pounce cooldown is good for her. Not spicy but same as Zeus changes

[fourthcasper]

I hate the change they did too freya's one. Before as soon as you used her irradiate (one) it would go on cooldown, but now it doesnt go on cooldown after you used it. Either you can cancel the ability, which is new, and it'll go on cooldown or wait for the duration to end.

They did decrease the cooldown to 8s, but its still an overall nerf. The ability lasts for 5s, so plus 8s thats 13s cooldown instead of the original 11s cooldown. Now you'll get her pulse (her two) back before her one, which feels weird, imo.

[kingproBOSS]

as an athena player i would like for her 1 and 3 to go back to normal

[EmeraldEleki]

Maybe they could make it so that the root on The Mire only hits if the first shots slow hits? I really hate it when low-rez nerfs the damage on guardians. So I'd rather have this happen

[ifyokechukwu]

I agree with these. Not very spicy changes imo overall ngl. I enjoy playing Solo against you aha. That loki solo game was interesting... (Smite Name: TooBlackTooSee)

[krawfish]

Xing is now the most fun solo guardian

Never thought hp5 would be so enjoyable
