Jokes on you guys I've been maining int for years

[Phosypha]

Being drunk increasing Bachus' int is crazy 😭

[NychusX]

So what I'm hearing is... CRIT YMIR IS COMING BACK!!!

[borionwaffles]

hybridization scaling making smite 2 look really juicy ngl

[Godfadda]

I feel like this is less of a deep dive and more of an exploratory snorkel, but it looks cool! Hope to hear more about the intricacies in the future!

[bfrfoxtrot]

It's so good to see Bam Margera getting his stuff together.

[TherealFroyoz]

Can't wait!!! I remember alpha testing smite back in the day and now we are coming out with smite 2. Crazy!! Much love❤❤

[TheElectrikCow]

The one thing that we will really need with all of these new things to keep track of is a more up front skill screen so we can more accurately see what scales where and by how much

[thenegusayo]

this is actually so cool, especially them explaining cernunnos

My main fear with the new Strength/Intelligence changes is what it's gonna mean for building defence in particular. In Smite 1 I can look at a god by their class and I know which defences I want to prioritise depending on the team comp, either magical or physical. With hybrid gods coming into the mix I now need to memorise a lot more information. I worry that this could be a barrier to entry issue for players brand new to the game and genre.
I'll reserve my final opinion until I get to try out the Alpha or Beta of course but this is the one changes for Smite 2 that I'm less excited for.

[BoldurMan]

Been wondering if everyone had the two stats but this explained it for me. I wonder if some gods will get a hard rework for Smite 2. Like Sobek for example I would love to see something different with his kit, Ares too, and my boy Fafnir. Would love to actually stay in dragon form as a stance swap and not just as a ult.

[makhmutov]

Where's the rest of the stats? Agility, Fortitude, Charisma, Wisdom

[CasaiAgicap]

so it's physical/magical power, but you can actually mix and match it now.

[mrdhong]

I was so hyped when i saw this was going to be one of the changes I cant wait to play crit Ymir or full intelligence Cern its gonna be a lot of fun

[a.a]

I absolutely love this! Finally we won’t have a single meta build for every class but a unique build for each god.

[idarkstarx]

I predict Tiamat builds will have int in flying mode and str in ground mode.

[NebulaShadow_]

I need it in my life. Please give us Smite 2 ASAP

[AceOniFlyer]

Actually excited about the idea of Cern being able to magic or physical damage with his Summer form. That’s an interesting tech that allows him to still have some solid auto attacks even in a Int build.

[moi-]

Seems fun but newcomers experience is gonna be terrifying... I hope the auto build option is improved because damn that's a lot of info to take in.

It's breathtaking how much you want to be like Dota2. What amazes me, is that Dota2 players would NOT abandon Dota2. So, instead of trying to attract new players from other games, you're just repeating fate of HoN (Heroes of Newerth) and Paragon, both were trying to compete with Dota2 and both DIED.

Long live Smite2, I wish you better management, than you have now.
