But it's an indirect buff to my Chang'e so I'm good with it. I like Chang'e too  too bad she's out of free rotation now. I want to buy Kali first before getting her. If you're planning on playing this game for any length of time, I highly suggest dropping $30 for all current and future gods - this deal goes away once beta ends.

My merc got nerfed too  although I'm not sure how much impact it's gonna be, it's not like you see it coming you can avoid it anyway. sure you can - once people get used to that, the .5s primer will allow a counter aegis I feel like it will also take a bit for merc players to get used to the .5s delay where there previously was none I'm not sure unless I try it. I think it can warn you about Merc incoming, but do very little to prevent it. It's very hard to time the aegis, since Merc can just cancel his ulti to bait. False - the primer only shows up once Merc fires the ult (as far as I understand it). .5s is probably enough time to react with an aegis. I'm not sure the wind up delay on Poseidon ult, but it can't be much longer than .5s, and with a little experience it is very possible to aegis the kraken. I have to check out the new patch and see, because from what I saw yesterday's Bart's preview stream, it doesn't look that big of a deal, maybe it's clearer if I'm from the enemy's perspective. and $30 for all gods, not including skins, right? I still use favor to buy skins?
correct
Favor is used for recolor skins (9500 favor) and gold/legendary skins (15000 favor for gold which turns to legendary once you reach god rank 10).
Gems are then used for the skins that actually change things and voice packs

Holy FUCK that Anubis skin.

So I heard that penetration is capped at 50. Is that true? I'm guessing cdr is capped at 40%?

I believe both of these statements are true

Is there a replay system? I want to check a recent game I played cause I swear I just went up against an AMC who was blinking multiple times in quick succession.
I was playing Mercury and he was somehow able to outrun me without using his honey skill and he had meditation+blink as his actives. It looked like he kept rubber banding away except it was only him.

there is a replay system, although I'm not sure how it functions - I've never actually used it

C9 is playing against TSM in Smite. This feels like old time.

So, I think I like the Devourer's Glove start on hunters now - it seems that a lot of other people had the same though process as I did. I noticed the pro hunters doing it this weekend in the tournaments. Although, the CLG.EU hunter got Transcendence on Cupid which I thought was...weird.
Starting to develop a new AMC build too. It stemmed from accidentally leveling my 1 out of order last night (normally I level it last). Maxing hives 2nd gave me really good attack speed early on. Since Qin's Blades/Sais took the hammer this past patch, I've decided to forgo them on him. Devourer's Gloves right into Deathbringer makes for some really scary early-mid game damage with the high attack speed buff from hives maxed 2nd.
I lose out on some AoE slow by maxing 3 last, but it doesn't matter if I kill them out right. Still makes me sad that he basically doesn't have a passive though =(
Also, looking forward to Geb this week.

Are there runes in this game?

Nope. Nothing of the sort.

No runes or masteries or anything like that.
There are god ranks. As you play games with a god, you gain worshippers based on game time/mode/if you won/score (I think). I'm not sure how many worshippers it takes to rank up - I think it's 50?
Once you hit god rank 1, you can then use that god in ranked, and you need at least 14 gods with rank 1 in order to play ranked (5 gods per team + 2 bans on each team).
A lot of the Smite community wishes the criteria for ranked was higher, and I don't necessarily disagree. But making it required to have played a god enough to get rank 1 in order to use that god in ranked is certainly better than league's system, although it does have its own flaws as well.

This is the VOD/Timestamp of the notes if you want to see everything in game, gameplay starts around 3:34.
- Geb looks quite fun/strong. CC on every ability except the shield, which is CC immunity, and the passive should make him one of the tankiest late game gods.
- Both Gold skins are pretty great. Hel Legendary is ffffffffffffffffuck yes.
- The boots changes are... I dunno. I mean, it makes sense and is streamlined sure, but I hope they don't "dumb down" item choices too much.
- Harpies will still be one of the most contested early game objectives. Too much gold per spawn to just ignore.
- Nu Wa and Thor getting the post-cast reductions is nice. Makes the game really smooth, but in cases like Ao it was a massive buff and might need some adjusting
- I really, really dislike the new minimap. Once you see it in game, you'll agree.
|
- Looking forward to Geb
- I don't think they're dumbing down choices. I think they're just stream lining and making adjustments to items where they see fit. They still have a couple months to fiddle with stuff before release, and I'm totally fine with them using the rest of the beta to mess around with things.
- Harpies will, of course, still be hotly contested. But increasing the respawn time to 2 min should give junglers a bit more choice in ganking to get ahead as opposed to ganking and getting a bunch of kills, but falling behind the dude who only killed harpies
- I haven't heard anything about new minimap - haven't seen any complaints on Reddit yet. I'll have to check it out tongiht
edit: how much do we want to bet that mana and health pot are swapped again?

looks like patch might be delayed til tomorrow (Reddit suggests it was confirmed on HiRez Kelly's stream)

holy crap he's gonna be a scary guardian

That shield on Geb is so huge, giving your carry 1000++ extra hp endgame wins games in many situations. especially when something like Tyr/Odin is trying to go on them. Blink ults seemed super strong too. 1.8s stun that hits instantly sounds a bit OP, but we will see.
Oh, and his powerball is stupid in jungle chases, so hard to hit them in a way that wont end up with them getting away because you pushed them 200 meters in the wrong direction. :I

yeah I'm hearing mixed reviews on him
He's definitely got a lot of potential and will be scary in the right hands
meanwhile, I'll be playing bees for the rest of forever
