Smite 9.5 Bonus Update Notes Explained - (From An Arena POV)

Smite 9.5 Bonus Update comes with a few additional Nerfs & Buffs that will affect Arena less than Conquest. In this video I will explain my thoughts on the 9.5 Bonus Update from an Arena Players Point Of View.

Glad shield can only be built on physicals

Gladiator shield may get a nerf soon, either nerfed back to its og state or lowering like the overall health or something

In my games I rarely see this item in arena so we may start seeing it a lot more once it goes live, I use it sometimes for my Assassins where I utilize added damage like through the crusher for example

and that Gladiator Shield buff is a huge mistake. that item was already game-breaking even before the buff. you could go full tank and just buy this item and still have op dmg. idk what is Hirez thinking with this one. just because people who don't know how to build warriors (at least 1 flat pen item) are complaining Warriors are bad? mybe stop over buffing Mage and Hunter items already like damm. just check out how much stats do Atlanta bow has together with that passive or spear of deso/divine etc... also they are literally balancing the whole game around Conquest snowballing. the issues is that people ahve 5 lvl/item lead and they complain about characters being too strong/too weak. and they balance the whole game around this. usually, people just go 6 dmg items and relly on snowballing, in Arena u actually have to coutnerbuild. its no surprise even SPL players still building outdated support items. Shogun Kusari and Wtichblade are literally best 2 auras in the game right now and u don't see them being built every game at SPL. and I care about all gamemodes, I've been diamond in Joust, Conquest and Arena... but Hirez acting like Conquest has no issues. and another big issue is this outdated MOBA mentality. that only Conquest is competitive. that divided players, they are literally removing fun gamemodes over that, can't give Arena fans a single ranked leaderboard and they still didn't add old fun gamemodes back into MOTD rotation. Ironic they say it is because that would divide players... ironic when the game already has divided community on every corner and bad moderation and bad UI and too expensive skins with no meaning and locked in chests/bundles people don0t wanna buy, no clan wars, no meaning for achievement points and the list goes on...

need better-looking Arena map, ranked leaderboard and some ranked rewards. Players have been asking this for the last 7 years. It is about time. Otherwise folk will just go to New MOBAs. SMITE doesn't have much competition yet
