Balancing

[L I G H T H O U S E]

Hopefully the team that balances SMITE is a separate team than of that that balances SMITE 2...the balance in SMITE is a dumpster fire. I dont think I have played a more poorly balanced game in the pvp scene than SMITE.

Then play SMITE 1

you obviously never played overwatch 1 or 2. balance in smite isn't too bad, it's meta but at least there's a large pack of meta gods. instead of having to play this one or that one. like in almost every other competitive game. i'm never playing smite again, fk hirez. but still smite has decent balance. especially for almost 120 gods.

the balance is done by pro players, ttk is fast in smite 2 to the point end game build tank just gets popped by a full damage sup tank, if anyone is smart you go bachus full damage support jump in ult take out 1 almost 2 of the enemy then let the team clean up you cant counter that, relic is long cooldowns and so are most item actives, the enitre smite 1 team is on this by the way. and yes all the pros currently playing want power creep and fast ttk, old balanced smite is not coming back when you had 2500 health a full kit dump including ult left damage with 400hp now your basic skills do as much damage as an old ult used to do

That sounds objectively horrible and not at all a fun experience.

It's the same balance team lol

They all have a group roundhouse discussion and barter to buff/nerf gods, they've said that much on streams. Pro players have some input but they're mostly trading gods in and out of popularity rotation

Like why do they keep going around buffing Zeus and giving him a stun? Because Aggro, one of the devs plays Zeus. Why did Anubis get a walk? Ajax, one of the devs is a known Anubis main. Why do they constantly shift around gods like Bastet? Tina mains Bastet. Like it's all there if you look hard enough

The issue is there is so many no skill one shot champions...Bacchus one shots your hunter and 1v1's most of your team as a support...Cthulu has an unmissable semi-nuke which is also a stun and is literally unkillable if the player is not brain dead, he also takes the entre screen in team fights so you are basically forced to hit him.

Then you got Khepri who has a harder to hit stun a harder to hit grab a 1 ability that does next to nothing and a revive for his ult. Sure you can say reviving a teammate is OP but you know what is more OP not playing Khepri playing Bacchus and one shotting 3 people before they hit the ground from your belly flop.

Try to out damage, out tank and out clear a Bacchus as Ganesha or Khepri...and the thing is Bacchus still has the utility to go with it.

There should be no world where a tank support 1v1's a full build hunter. The amount of times I will be the solo laner and our hunter is split pushing and gets challenged by Bacchus, Cerebrus or Cthulu, and not just loses but gets destroyed is unacceptable...

The balance is wack as hell.
