Greetings friends! Today we’ll be discussing smite patch 5.21, while the last couple of patches had very little brought to the table this one has a lot of changes.
as always (just like in the patch notes) lest start with the skins. All the skins are amazing this time, since I’ve started playing they’ve improved on the skins. I especially like the Pele Khepri and Cu Chulainn skins. Although I really don’t like the khepri skins VP.
In the god balance section they changed Cernunnos ult to now slow by 20%. I wouldn’t call it a buff because he didn’t really need it, and I think it was just for consistency with Hera’s poly morph doing the same. On a quick side note about consistency and Hera I wish that her poly would change you into a set animal like Cernunnos’ ult dose. I think that the multiple creatures will confuse players and having one set Animal will open opportunities for interesting skins. Side rant over. Erlang got his passive nerfed so he wont shred tanks instantly. I’m surprised they haven’t done this sooner he’s been dominating recently. Fenrir got mana reductions so he wont be too limited early on, I think this is good but fear it might make him a very heavy early game dominator. The last balance issue I’m going to cover is the Mercury “nerf”. All they did was Reduced his Power charged per passive stack from 0.1 to 0.08 this doesn’t effect his ridiculous clear and even if it nerfs his quick damage output he will still be top tier due to the fact the he’ll be able to instantly clear camps.
The new domination adventure is a lot of fun, but in most games I get a very experienced player why played domination before it was removed and gets angry at us for not knowing how to play it. I imagine that as I get experienced the toxicity will decrease. Overall Its fun but not my favorite, but ill still grind it for rewards because I don’t have a life.
I watched the SPL and it was a lot of fun and interesting to watch game at the highest level. All I got out of the mixer chests was favor though. shout out to Pete for doing so great, but it sucks that I missed weakens and Luminosities match.
Finally I’m going to say something non smite related. Today is veterans day and even though no veterans will read this I’m going to thank them for serving this country and allowing me to live my life in this great country. Another thing I want to say is rest in peace to Stan Lee, he was an amazing man who fought against bigotry, entertained millions, and created a diverse universe of interesting characters. Even though I’m not a big marvel fan I need to give props to this legend I hope he rests easy. Have a good day everyone.
