Hel

“As we have progressed through Season 7 we have seen Hel slowly rise to be a top meta Mid Laner. Hel’s flexibility brings high damage output, along with high healing. Although she can be lacking in long range poke damage, her lane phase generally more than makes sup for it. To address this lane phase we are toning down her base damage slightly across her primary lane ability – Decay. To address her late game flexibility we are also decreasing her late game healing on Restoration. Two small nerfs to two specific aspects of her kit, perfect for a goddess with the duality of Hel.”

Décomposition (Restauration) (Decay (Restoration))

• Réduction des dégâts de 70/120/170/220/270 à 60/110/160/210/260.
  • Ceci est valable pour l’Etat de Lumière et pour l’Etat de Ténèbres.
• Réduction de la Contribution Magique du Soin à en Etat de Lumière de 30% à 25%.

Jörmungand

“The world serpent has had a stranglehold on the Solo lane Meta for quite a while now. He was starting to drop out of favor until changes to Warrior’s Blessing brought him slithering back. As we look to make major changes to the Solo Lane, we want to open the meta up to more gods. We don’t want Jorm to be overly bullying all of the new experimentation that will be going on here. To mitigate that, we are decreasing the base damage of his basic attack, which was previously mitigated by Warrior’s Blessing. This is a significant source of damage for him, and should be an impactful nerf.”

Général

• Réduction des dégâts d’Attaque de Base de 11,2 à 9,6.

Niké

“The Goddess of Victory finally lives up to her name. Nike’s rework yielded a lot of positive feedback for providing a unique new ability while also paving the way for more balance changes. After a few more small adjustments she has finally had her breakthrough moment. Starting as a niche pick in the SPL Jungle, then slowly catching on across other lanes and other skill levels, Nike is putting on quite a show by now. The primary nerf we are applying is the duration of the Slow on her Ultimate. Six seconds is an eternity in SMITE, causing this goddess to secure a few too many kills in the early game. This will now rank up with the Ultimate.”

Formation de Barrière (Barrier Formation)

• Réduction des dégâts de 85/140/195/250/305 à 70/130/190/250/310.

Sentinelle de Zeus (Sentinel of Zeus)

• Réduction de la Durée du Ralentissement de 6s à 4/4,5/5/5,5/6s.

Sobek

“Another elusive reptile is being nerfed today. Sobek, like Jorm, has been dominant in the solo lane, and we aim to apply nerfs for similar reasons. One experience that every Sobek opponent is sure to feel is the God of the Nile making a narrow escape. Sobek seems to survive through the most dangerous of fights. We are decreasing the bonus protections he gains during his Ultimate to ensure he is punished accordingly for diving too deep or missing too many plucks.”

Tapi dans les Eaux (Lurking in the Waters)

• Réduction des Protections gagnées de 30% à 20%.

Yemanja

“This versatile and elegant support has continued to be a top performer across many areas of play. Yemoja’s strength comes from being able to both apply pressure as well as protect her team. The Shield Mending Waters is a potent late game tool, especially when she is able to apply it multiple times in a single fight. This is being toned down along with the Riptide speed buff. To make it slightly harder for Yemoja to keep her allies alive through fights.”

Eaux Réparatrices (Mending Waters)

• Réduction du Bouclier de 40/70/100/130/160 à 30/55/80/105/130.

Contre-Courant (Riptide)

• Réduction de la Vitesse de Déplacement de 20/25/30/35/40% à 10/15/20/25/30%.
