SMITE Update 8.11 went live recently and it adjusted multiple gods and items before the pros take the stage in the upcoming Season’s World Championship.
The developers saw a steady rise in gods that provide significant healing to their team. Rather than nerfing them individually, they have opted to reduce healing effectiveness on a global scale. Therefore, the healing reduction is now at 40%, which applies to all gods who have not dealt or received damage from another god within the last three seconds.
Other Adjustments
The Lotus Crown has its passive physical and magical protections provided to allies decreased to 15. This change was made for other gods to have a better chance to compete by reducing this item’s team utility.
The Warrior’s Axe has received pretty big adjustments back then, and the goal was to make solo laners more aggressive. However, the buffs may have been over the top and that is why it’s been adjusted again. This time, to reduce its effectiveness in the early game.
Due to her recent rework, Bastet has been pouncing her way to the top of the charts. To reduce her self-sustain and burst potential, her Nightstalker and Huntress of Bast abilities have been adjusted.
The devs feel that Camazotz will continue to be a dominating presence if left unattended. That is why his Vampire Bats and Bat Out of Hell abilities have been modified. These tweaks will make other gods trade blows with him a bit easier.
