I Asked 800+ People What Gods Should Be Added to SMITE 2 Next...

It's a hot topic recently and everyone has the own opinions on it. But which Gods, on average, does the community think should be added to SMITE 2?

This video looks like it required a lot of editing. Appreacite you putting this out, it's really good info. Especially for the devs!

[GucciCentipede]

I was hoping (even though she’s not very popular) that Cliodhna would join soon. Lots of opportunities with her wall passive

[mamspugeti]

Fucking great video inter, this is exactly what the people need right now. Also impressed with how fast you made it- I legit took the questionnaire, went to bed, and woke up to this being out already.

I'm thinking how great it would be now if Hirez put out their own questionnaire that's got basically the same questions but with 100, 000 responses from people all across different parts of the smite community, and people who formerly played smite but are on break etc

Me a jormungandr main.

Well I guess we'll see yal in 2026

[jombii-]

Seeing Cthulhu high on the list makes me happy, genuinely such a fun god to play and i cant wait to see how his kit looks in UE5

[jordannng]

Fairly accurate list but overall it feels like recency bias. A lot of older gods(who tend to have been the more popular and favored choices) are the favorites to come back, but we can argue that they are the ones in need of more changes than the more recent gods, like Nut and Maman.

Personally, I’ve been loving the changes in Smite 2 to a lot of the older gods. They feel refreshed as opposed to obsolete

[jacobmisal]

With their willingness to release two Gods at once in smite 2, I think they can get a lot more hype around some of these Gods with good marketing and can get some more juice out of unpopular gods that way. How about an update themed around Scylla and Charybdis? Or an Osiris vs set release? They could expand this with new Gods, too. Release Medusa and introduce Perseus as a new God. I think it’s a missed opportunity to release Gods seemingly at random. New players aren’t watching the update shows, get some trailers and ads around new god releases.

If HiRez is trying to win the award for releasing the most boring easy to counter mages possible they certainly achieved it

[jansolo]

Hot Take: Wukong shouldn't be added early. With the popularity of Black Myth Wukong, sure, SMITE can ride that hype but he has two abilities that are just smacking his staff around. I think they should cook a new ability for him (maybe make his 1 like his 3 where you target near for the circle and target far for the line) AND release him with a reworked Erlang Shen (come on, it's obvious he needs a rework).

More than a month later and after the roadmap its good to see Hirez is adding quite a good amount of high gods on this list. And the ones they dont make sense from a technical standpoint. Janus is hard cuz of portals, SWK cause of transformations, Cthulhu has his ult, Scylla is hard animationwise with the wolves, Merlin is a harder standswitcher than need-be (thats why Ullr is coming), etc.

Choices like Cabrakan are odd -Im a certified Cabra hater- so I hope they do enough for him, but have my skepticisms (as they try to keep kits intact). For Jing Wei I wanna say that as someone who despised playing her in S1 it is now possible for me to have fun with her in S2 and I think they did a great job porting her over. She actually now has a unique mechanic with trying to get the 2 stim going constantly, which is fun.

But besides that I think theyre doing pretty good based on the roadmap, even tho theres a lot of gods upcoming that Im personally not fond of or anything.

This survey was fun. You should do one for who needs a rework!

[TheInfernoShards]

thought I'd share my idea for a rework for Artio to fix a few bits:
Replace her 2 with a new ability: Wild Growth.
Similar to Tiamats flying stance ultimate, press 2 and get a new action bar with 3 abilities.
All 3 abilites have the same radius/duration/mana cost etc etc, I imagine the radius to be about the same as Ra's heal, or maybe Atlas ult? I dunno exactly
1: Sapping Mushroom, Enemies withing the area have strength and intelligence reduced by a % amount (Similar to how Artio's current 2 reduces power as well as crippling) and are slowed by a small amount, 20% or so.
2: Entangling Roots, enemies within the area are crippled (keep her persistant cripple, but it is static)
3: Leeching Seed (Stole from pokemon), in the area enemies lose 1% CURRENT hp per second, all damage dealt is restored to all allies within a radius of Artio, if Artio is alone, she recieves 50% of the healing instead. (1% is just an idea, it could probably be higher)

I think this would a cool addition to her druid stance, being able to call upon something from nature to help her, and would remove the main thing that people hate about her kit and would make her feel a little more skillful and rewarding to play.

Sincerely, a guy with 3 stars on Artio.

IMO a lot of the picks change if they get a rework as necessary. Like baka and bake probably need reworks, so if they are getting those then I would want them pushed up in priority. If we're just talking standard smite 2 god treatment, then they can come in last

[DallasRabot]

Og Gods like Thor, Ra, Hercules and Artemis.

[AceOniFlyer]

Maman being in bottom 5 for mages is criminal. She is such a fun god, and can be punished easily with cripples.

[BrotherShaw]

Tsukuyomi top 5? Wow. Wasn't expecting that tbh.

[kaceydeecee]

i think the only reason why Ra isn’t in the game yet is that they’re giving him a model redesign. i think people forget how outdated Ra’s character model is, especially when comparing him to the other Egyptian animal gods like Anubis, Sobek, Thoth, Set, Horus, etc.

[brianhuskey]

AA stim gods being low on the list, who would have thought?
I think this list just shows people like fun God design, or reddit is mostly filled with tank players

[jcbiggs]

Khepri getting love is awesome, brother is a true support through and through and Smite 2 needs that

[panyema]

It is genuinly surprising that hirez havent asked this question themselves... The game kind of needs a direction of what to sdd and while most of the god picks are fine, not having the more iconic characters like thor and ra is just plain weird
