Balance

General

We are going to communicate our balance changes in a new way this update. We will see how players react to this and potentially make it a pattern going forward. So let us know what you think!
Instead of breaking changes up into simply items and gods, grouped by class or alphabetical order, we will instead focus on more specific balance goals and then include all the buffs and nerfs relevant to each goal.

9.5 and TTK

There are players who express concerns at every buff they see since 9.5, worried that the effects of that update would be reverted. They really liked 9.5 and they fear going back to the high-risk gameplay we had before that.
There are also plenty of players who weren’t as excited for 9.5, and have been asking for constant increases in early game aggression since then.
9.5 was focused specifically on making the early game of SMITE less punishing. The update was very successful at this goal, because we made pretty intense adjustments to ensure that.
In reality the best place for SMITE is likely someplace in between 9.4 and 9.5. Gameplay data shows that we are pretty far from “reverting” 9.5. The buffs we have applied to a fraction of gods and items buffed recently has a small effect compared to a 40% increase in base stats across 100% of the god roster.
As we continue with buffs in this update we want to acknowledge that we need to be able to buff gods, classes, and roles who are underperforming. We have done quite a few nerfs to offset a lot of these buffs, and we will continue to buff utility instead of damage when possible.

9.11 Balance Goals

Here are the goals for 9.11 and the buffs/nerfs that contribute to those goals. Note that some changes might be listed twice as they can contribute to more than one goal.

Mage Early Game Shift (Buffs)

Mages have become a rare occurrence at SPL level play, and in this update we are making some big changes to help address this. As the primary focus for this update, a lot of other entire sections also affect it. Nerfing Mid Hunters will function as a Mage buff, but Mages will also be receiving a set of direct buffs specifically focusing on issues they face in the early game at higher skill tiers. Multiple underperforming Mages are seeing buffs with special priority paid to those who were nerfed in 9.4. And Finally, The Morrigan will be nerfed as she is already the top performing SPL Mid Mage and she will also benefit from these other changes. She needs to be nerfed to open up the lane for more mages.

Includes:

Mid-Hunter Nerfs
Late Game Burst Damage Nerfs
Red Buff Conquest Jungle Monster Nerf
Bancroft’s Claw Nerf
Vampiric Shroud and upgrades reworks (stats only reworks)
Sands of Time Buff
Soul Gem Buff
Chronos Pendant Buff
Hera, Nu Wa, Agni, Zeus, Discordia, Anubis, and Scylla Buffs.
The Morrigan Nerf

Late Game Burst Damage Nerfs

This update has multiple early game buffs for underperforming archetypes. We are applying an intentional shift here to help these archetypes perform better in the earlygame, which increases their likely viability, while also nerfing their late game, which limits their top end performance. This affects Mages, Mid-Hunters, and Assassins.

Includes:

Titan’s Bane Nerf
Obsidian Shard Nerf
Staff of Myrddin Nerf

Mid Hunter Nerfs

A key part of keeping mages out of Mid is the hunters that are currently dominating there. We are nerfing the top Mid Hunter as well as the items mostly used by Mid Hunters to help facilitate the Mage buffs in this lane.

Includes:

The Crusher Nerf
Titan’s Bane Nerf
Ah Muzen Cab Nerf

Warrior Solo Buffs

Guardians have a firm grasp on the Solo Lane and we are looking to swing the favor back toward Warriors. There has also been feedback that Physical Protection options are lackluster and make it hard for Warriors to counter Assassins and Hunters, so we are buffing the amount of Physical Protections on multiple Warrior Items.

Includes:

Warding Sigil Buff
Runic Shield Buff
The Sledge Buff
Berserker’s Shield Buff
Mystical Mail Buff
Thorns Relic Buffs
Hades Nerf
Sun Wukong and Gilgamesh Buffs

Support Buffs

Guardians have also reported feeling the effects of the late game, so they should also get some relief from the %Pen item nerfs. Additionally we are buffing two of their most core items right now to make sure they can be the Tanks their teams need, fulfilling this role is more important than item diversity. And finally we are introducing a large set of buffs to underperforming Relics that could make a big difference on Support play styles.

Includes:

Late Game Damage Burst Nerfs
Utility Relic Buffs
Spirit Robe Buff
Gauntlet of Thebes Buff
Sylvanus and Xing Tian Buffs

Duo Hunter Buffs

As we work hard to push hunters out of mid, we want to encourage their use in Duo and introduce a few buffs to help them out in their core role. Gilded Arrow will be the primary change that could impact the meta, by bringing back some of the strength of Critical Strike builds.

Includes:

Gilded Arrow Buff
Diamond Arrow Buff
Griffonwing Earrings Buff
Ishtar, Danzaburou, Hachiman, and Chronos Buffs

Basic Attack Assassin Buffs

Immediately after the 9.5 changes we started to see Basic Attack Assassins way overperforming Ability Based ones. That has balanced out a lot since then, and recent buffs have put Ability Assassins clearly on top, so we are introducing a small buff to help even this back out.

Includes:

Serrated Edge Buff

General Underperformers

Also a few general underperforming gods were buffed, even if they don’t fit into any of these specific categories.
