I had a feeling they'd nerf Lancelot lol
I think Yu Huang and Atlas were the only gods I can think of recently that were actually buffed after coming into the game instead of being nerfed afterward

Hi, good video.
Leaving Lancelot alone would have caused a lot of complaining so it's fair to say that most people were expecting nefts to his damage and it was only a question of how much and where these nerfs would come.

Hunter wise, I'd expect the next nef to be the crit. item Wind Demon as this is greatly favored by conquest (including SPL playes) over Shadowsteel Shuriken if/when players build into crit (including Mercury). I really doubt that they'll try to make Shadowsteel Shuriken better as a means to compete with Wind Demon favoring some means of nerfing Wind Demon instead (even if it's just increasing the price). Wind Demon is simply to attractive with crit chance, % pen, and movement speed.

Since you bought the Heavenly Light and gotten the Tier 5 skin for Izanami, you will automatically get Bok Bok Horus.

Hirez never fixing core issues and the game is getting stale and outdated... new events are nice but we need more. not just bunch of unbalanced items each season.
-add old fun game modes back into Match of the day rotation (Domination, adventures, Smite cart, 3v3v3, Capture the flag...)
- better UI
- cheaper skins, less chests and skins u can actually achieve not just pay for
- leaderboard for Arena fans and ranked rewards... use Arena vs Conquest rivalry to make epic turneys not to divide the community. Big Reason why Hirez games aint doing well is because divided ranked community. Conquest vs Arena in SMITE, Strikeout vs Domination in Rogue Company, Siege vs Deathmatch in Paladins...
- more commendation rewards, rewards for achievement points/meaning for achievements...
-I miss old community and people that worked at Hirez...
- combine 6 smite reddits into 1 with flairs and allow memes and videos aka community content
- Most MOBA studios are outdated because they only care about Conquest/DOTA players. I suggest watching the Kings Avatar animation
