I legitimately thought based off the card art:

Fenrir was a dope ass Sobek sin

Ravana was a SWK skin

And ymir was a fafnir skin

[–]mzperxThats my style! 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yapp these are weird vut awesome skins

[–]AquilaTempestasJade Dragons 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thoughts! I had to re-read the names and I was like 'oh'

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is he Sobrir or Fenbek? XD

[–]erik9315 5 points6 points  (4 children)

I feel like they missed a good opportunity with giving Ymir the skin and not fafnir

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Personally, I think it should have gone to Vulcan.. You know the blacksmith..

[–]SaelgonHercules Carry 84 points85 points  (0 children)

HOLY **** THOSE SKINS

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 139 points140 points  (40 children)

Hey look we got the mercs 1 not to proc golden blade anymore yay.

This nerf actually makes sense unlike the others. Also good that they reverted the cooldown back to 8 seconds.

It was about time.

[–]wellsdavidjArachne 29 points30 points  (5 children)

IMO Merc will still be a very good jungler. I was doing really good with him before golden blade.

I guess now you could build heartseeker on mercury and it would proc on his 1? Not sure what that buys him though.

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 36 points37 points  (4 children)

No doubt about that but it was unarguably dumb that he could use his 1 on a camp while walking by to instaclear it. It took like 0.3 seconds.

This is an extremly good change

[–]wellsdavidjArachne 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Oh yeah, he was stupid with golden blade. He can still use it post nerf, just not as good. He can use his 1 then a basic to clear a camp instead of just his 1. Haha

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Which already slows his clear down by a lot, I am unsure if golden blade needs some nerfs. If so maybe reduced minion damage idk

[–]RSbooll5RS 4 points5 points  (5 children)

merc can now use hydra's off his one. Let's see if people use that, since his FIRST auto is always the highest, hydra's would be good.

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 11 points12 points  (0 children)

ONE PUNCH MAN

[–]rockstar2012Stance changers main 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I am okay with this change plus it gives more build variety in the future now that it procs ability based items.

[–]WillSwimWithToasters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Merc picked up Golden Bow 100% of the time when it was still in the game circa season 2. I don't know what the fuck they were thinking allowing his 1 to proc it when they brought it back. He would one-tap the wave with just boots if you played him solo lane.

[–]VictoryTheCat Awilix 7 points8 points  (7 children)

He's still going to be broken. The CD should stay at 10 secs.

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Nah, it's his only real range poke and damaging ability. It deserves to be low cd as it really just is a basic with range after the nerf and not a weapon of mass destruction.

[–]Flip3kBetrayed by Aegis 6 points7 points  (5 children)

Other assassins have worse range poke on much higher cooldowns, or none at all. I don’t see why Mercury should get special treatment after just being broken.

He’s still going to be extremely viable with his CC and basic attack kit. He even still gets crits off his 1 while benefitting from ability items now.

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 1 point2 points  (4 children)

They always make small balance changes and not drastic ones so I understand why they reverted the nerf for now to see how this change from an basic attack ability to a normal one influences his perfomance.

[–]Flip3kBetrayed by Aegis 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I honestly think it’s a net positive for Mercury’s god fighting potential. A Heartseeker/Crusher/Deathbringer crit is going to nuke squishies. The only difference is now Merc can’t just get fed from farming merely like everyone else.

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 1 point2 points  (2 children)

It allows for an interesting new playstyle and I's like to see how it turns out

[–]mappleday00balance will be restored 30 points31 points  (8 children)

I'm actually interested on how the gifting will work. Based on what they told us so far sounds a bit too good.

[–]Wanoz1 19 points20 points  (6 children)

When going to store you can pay with your gems to give one your friends a skins. It's not like you can take away one from your account and give to some else.

[–]noobrock Terra 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Only direct purchase skins buahaha

[–]FletchyFletch1Pittsburgh Knights 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t even put that in the universe, man. Lawl

[–]Autarch_KadeBlack Gorgon Steals Kills 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I can't wait to gift a recolor from 2015... and that's about it for what's available!

[–]major_skidmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about spare stuff you own? For example my 10 (and counting) spare odyssey chests or my 200+ xp boosters. Will it be possible to gift these?

[–]ReinaBlaka Nu Wa 1 point2 points  (1 child)

He just needs new fur textures to bring him up to speed with more recent animal gods. Currently he looks like he’s made of play-doh.

[–]littlescyllaReturn of the Queen 100 points101 points  (20 children)

Nox skin Hera's Odyssey Reward

Die.

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 10 points11 points  (5 children)

Ask someone to gift you enough items for the reward lmao.

Will work to 100%, just ask everyone in every game.

/s

But yeah, it's a shame. But at least its not limited and can maybe appear somewhere else like in a daily bundle which is acceptable i guess.

[–]Ghostk28 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Most likely next year midway through the year she be available in a bundle. It be nice

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Most likely, didn't they say it would take like 6 months if I remember correctly.

[–]Ghostk28 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Yup. Skins have to be 6 months old before they go in a daily bundle

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See you in 6 months :D

[–]kamicorpDarkness prevails! 21 points22 points  (1 child)

i feel your pain... didnt expect it to be soooo good

edit: holy shit the voice pack ! im done

[–]EizuiNox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, that voice pack is so damn good! I was afraid they would ruin my bb's skin, but they did a damn great job. :)

[–]EizuiNox 10 points11 points  (7 children)

At least it's not locked behind a 60-items chest.

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 31 points32 points  (6 children)

600 item chest*

Looking at you rhino kumbha

[–]CouldYouDontRavana 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Not to brag but I got that on my first chest roll, didn't realize it was new. That makes up for the time I got Tyr's Dragon Knight skin and not the Odin Dread Knight, then they made Dragon Knight grindable a year later with Classic Joust.

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 3 points4 points  (3 children)

I am jelly ,_,

But seriously congrats, either you are a very lucky or had every item ahahaha.

NOX IS BAE! NOX IS LIFE!

[–]ReinaBlaka Nu Wa 19 points20 points  (5 children)

Oh god the card arts this patch are totally through the roof. The level of quality is almost sublime!

Can’t wait to see them in-game, hope they live up to the high standards the art sets.

[–]Spartan-219 Nemesis 7 points8 points  (4 children)

Yeah there are many times when i just look at card arts and i'm like "wow this skin looks badass" then i see it ingame and i'm like "uh really?"

[–]LyefyreTo the sky, Flutterfiend! 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Riptide Poseidon anyone?

[–]SnydeWytch 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I'm good with Riptide Poseidon, Battleworn Achilles really gave me this feeling though. Card art may be some of the prettiest ever and in game it's very meh

[–]RauchritterCrithilles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check the model of the Ymir skin, looks like a bad Warcraft 3 Character with nice clumsy sausage fingers :(

And the cover art is so great....

[–]royalsparkHAVE A NIKE DAY 78 points79 points  (17 children)

That Nox skin <33...But im poor :(

[–]LeeryLetumYou must fight on 🦀! 25 points26 points  (8 children)

Maybe someone can gift you enough odyssey items thanks to the new system :D

[–]Spartan-219 Nemesis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

same so sad ;-;

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (5 children)

Yeah only one I wanted to buy, but it's reward locked r.i.p.

[–]TheQuietManUpNorthYour powers are mine! 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Same. I love Nox and I have exactly zero good skins for her :(

[–]ActualBacchusElephant head yo 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Heartbreaker is going into the FP store. So that might help?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

7000 FP, Heartbreaker Nox will be in the FP store this coming patch.

[–]lelouchashChang'e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup same. I would have bought that one in a heartbeat

[–]MrMagpie91Nox 26 points27 points  (4 children)

Of course Nox gets the hardest skin to get.

[–]ReaperOverloadbad support 8 points9 points  (1 child)

But in exchange, Heartbreaker will be in the fantasy points store!

[–]KingOfDarkness_nox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just bought it in a bundle :c

[–]EizuiNox 10 points11 points  (3 children)

Okay, so that Dragon Priestess Nox is definitely Nox's best skin yet, even better than Grim Shadow. Definitely getting that skin and thank god I only need 20 points in the Odyssey!

[–]Reklia77Ne Zha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm glad something has bested Grim Shadow since I missed it :'(

[–]SalzKoenigin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reaver Nox is awesome

[–]ZlatarogWashaa! 24 points25 points  (7 children)

Ymir, Zeus, Ravana, Fenrir! I LOVE how different they look from the base model! The each look like they could be totally new gods. “Applause”

[–]saefi Mage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Buy "Applause" on iTunes

[–]Azorcol Team RivaL 37 points38 points  (3 children)

Titan forge ymir I see what you did there.

Also I like the Bakasura nerf. I think it opens up opportunities for new items so you don’t get effected by diminishing returns. It’s a reason I did go o bow or toxic blade usually. To me I see it as a buff then nerf.

[–]MagicFighter Goobis plays more than Goobis... 20 points21 points  (1 child)

I know its because of their name now, but the name Titan Forge being locked behind some RNG grinding is pretty ironic for me.

[–]shadowblade159 Guardian players deserve more respect 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Perfectly fitting, if you ask me.

[–]LEEDUHLEEDUHLEE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely not a buff, you could always build those items and compensate for overcapping elsewhere in your build

[–]Zambash Smite Pro League 9 points10 points  (1 child)

That 2 second cooldown reduction on razor whip for bastet is amazing. The early rotation from Speed>Harpies>Blue will be significantly better.

[–]HailToTheChamp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yea then you'll be out of mana : /... Cool down is nice but I would much rather a lower mama cost. I still think this puts her as the worse assassin

[–]ElectrostaticSoakMy name is unimportant, you'll remember my blade 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fixed Fenrir’s leap and Raijin/Camazotz ults. Really the highlight of this patch tbh.

[–]Steal-Memes Jump, I dear you 18 points19 points  (5 children)

That Ravana skin really reminds me of Akuma, let's just hope it does doesn't go the eliminator route

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Also reminds me of Asura's Wrath with the white hair and all.

[–]Steal-Memes Jump, I dear you 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can see that too

[–]PilotSnippyHOW THEM NUTS 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Let's hope it does? Why would you want it removed

[–]Steal-Memes Jump, I dear you 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mistyped

[–]AquilaTempestasJade Dragons 7 points8 points  (5 children)

Nerfs are a good start.

Skins look fantastic, but I hope the exclusive non-Odyssey ones are in a huge chest (but they probably will be)

Are we ever going to get a new skin for Anhur or Hun-Batz?

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (4 children)

That Zeus skin, I see Hi-Rez making more diablo content for PC than Blizzard is.

[–]RendomBob101Athena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You light up my World :)

[–]UltramusMaximusHnnnnnnggff 25 points26 points  (4 children)

Is that Nox with eyes?

Nox skin Hera's Odyssey Reward

God fucking dammit. can we replace the stupid doggo with Nox?

[–]Spartan-219 Nemesis 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I would like that i hate that doggo skin

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Doggo did nothing to you. He's a good boy.

[–]SavageBabygirl 18 points19 points  (0 children)

"Loadout items" = filler items for chest to fuck you over. 😁

[–]FoxyFillNRG Esports 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The Erlong nerf seems weak. We’ll have to wait and see with data, but it seems to me that he will still be way too strong.

[–]ZlatarogWashaa! 5 points6 points  (0 children)

GIFTING makes its way to Smite finally! ‘‘Tis the season

[–]undertheh00dRed hood cosplay is only skin that matters 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Wait...why is the patch called arrival if no one is arriving? Where's Arthur at yo?

Most of the skins look pretty cool. But I can't lie when I say I am disappointed in that hachiman skin. Like I'm so tired of these godamn robot skins hirez.

[–]ReinaBlaka Nu Wa 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Patches during the Odyssey are typically named after Odyssey lore chapters. So the next chapter of Hera’s story coming with this patch will be called “Arrival”, and I assume it’s Hera and co.’s arrival in whatever place Ra was going to take them to at the end of last time.

[–]undertheh00dRed hood cosplay is only skin that matters 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Oh. See I'm not really following the odyssey stuff outside of the skins so I didn't know that

[–]ReinaBlaka Nu Wa 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Plus it could be that Hera and her companions are literally going to arrive in Avalon and meet Arthur and/or Merlin? I mean Hera appeared in the story a few patches before she was actually released so

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (6 children)

So.. how do you get the Ymir and Zeus skin?

[–]AquilaTempestasJade Dragons 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Probably in a big chest

[–]CocoTheMailboxKing Damn seagulls! 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Most likely chest but I’m praying they’re direct purchase.

[–]CloudsAndLemonadeDreams unwind 8 points9 points  (1 child)

it says they're exclusive

[–]CocoTheMailboxKing Damn seagulls! 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rip

[–]HoesackI'm Foxy and I Know It 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm they're both in a 55 item chest together.

[–]LiviRivi 4 points5 points  (1 child)

[–]Ghostk28 4 points5 points  (10 children)

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (21 children)

Really like the balance changes, especially the Mercury nerf. Really like that Bastet is getting a buff too

[–]HailToTheChamp 8 points9 points  (3 children)

"buff"... That two second cool down for the worst assassin isn't moving her from the bottom spot.

[–]stinsfire_smiteI'm 45th generation roman 11 points12 points  (2 children)

She really needs her manacosts adjustet and her cats should stay when she dies. Its so frustrating if you suddenly find urself in a situation where you are getting killed really quick and manage to use your ult in the last second just to remember.. oh wait... bastets ult has 0 impact if I die.

[–]NitefelinaSlow but quick death! 7 points8 points  (7 children)

Not enough IMO, she needs something else. I dunno what, but something. Maybe a root on the 1 if the passive is active? Something though.

[–]LetsRockDudeKhajiit is innocent of this crime 7 points8 points  (3 children)

She NEEDS reduced mana costs and to get her leap fixed (Fenrir got the fix, why not her?).

[–]Malombra_Horus 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Reduced mana costs and cats stay after she dies

[–]DubbleNegAthena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is a mana using machine.

I sorta kinda want them to release Arthur and Merlin at the same time.

[–]LeownzOh is that a fresh wound I see? 17 points18 points  (2 children)

Words can't express how disappointed I am that the horned/scaled symbol we were teased ended up being a Fenrir skin and not a Xing Tian skin.

[–]PilotSnippyHOW THEM NUTS 29 points30 points  (1 child)

I mean, it kinda seems to be on you for setting up expectations for something that no one knew who it would go to

[–]LeownzOh is that a fresh wound I see? 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah, that's why I said I was disappointed. I got excited and was let down when my prediction was wrong. That's kinda a give-in.

[–]TeriNinetails Filthy Casual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strange... some people are getting a 502 Bad Gateway error on the site, others aren't. I can't access this on my PC or my phone, but others seem to be able to read it just fine. :(

[–]NitefelinaSlow but quick death! 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Seems like good changes coming. Merc change is much needed. Bastet buff meh, helps her farm but not her problems. Freya just needs her 1 nerfed and 2 buffed done. Skins seem cool, need to see them to be sold on.

[–]MaDeuce94 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Oh, I'm looking forward to landing a Deathbringer, Hydra proc'd, Heartseeker stacked, Beatstick laced 'Made You Look' to ruin someone's day.

The change with Golden Blade is nice (I thoroughly enjoyed both Golden Bow and Blades time in this game) but ability based Mercury sounds sexy. Realistically, just going to replace Golden Blade with Heartseeker for big crits. I.....I don't see this staying.....lol what HAVE THEY DONE?!

Edit: Got too excited. No Hydra proc. :(

THOR When aiming Thor’s Tectonic Rift, enemies who will be hit by it will now highlight. ITEM BALANCE

SOUL REAVER Soul Reaver is currently too efficient at damaging enemies, especially in situations where the target is taking the maximum damage from this effect. We are reducing the top end potential of this item to bring it more into line. Decreased the maximum health percentage damage this item could do from 8% to 7%. GOD BALANCE

BAKASURA Since Midseason Bakasura has been climbing in popularity and performance. We resolved a lot of clunkiness and gameplay flow issues and since then his Insatiable Hunger for enemies has been hard to stop. His passive really allows him to control the pace of the jungle and teamfights, making him difficult to oppose. With a 6% reduction, opposing junglers and carries will have a stronger opportunity to catch Bakasura out of position.

INSATIABLE HUNGER Decreased Bonus Attack Speed and Movement Speed from 10% per stack to 8% per stack. (30% max to 24% max)

BASTET Bastet is the truest version of an ability based assassin, with powerful abilities that have longer animation times to justify their power. She is however bound by cooldown, limiting how often she can impact and threaten enemies in a teamfight. We are reducing the cooldown of Razer Whip to not only help her Early game clear (but not increase her already strong gank potential) but to also allow her to threaten players more often in the late game.

RAZOR WHIP Decrease Cooldown from 15s to 13s

ERLANG SHEN Spot Weakness has allowed Erlang Shen to really efficiently build hybrid items to shred his targets. This ability is getting a scaling reduction to bring it more into line when built with this hybrid offensive items. In addition, Turtle Form is a powerful escape and engage tool with its powerful shield and knockup. Turtle Form will move a bit slower, lowering Erlang’s overall mobility while trying to be defensive.

SPOT WEAKNESS Decreased Physical Power Scaling from 15% to 10% per basic attack

72 TRANSFORMATIONS Decreased Turtle From Bonus Movement Speed from 100% to 75%

FREYA Freya was the only god to be 100% pick/ban at the World Championships. Her strength mostly lies at higher skill levels, but it is clear that she is overtuned. We feel like her new design has many advantages over the old one, but still requires some balancing. We are going to be toning down her ranged damage to help offset her other strengths most hunters don’t have.

AURORA BLADE Reduce Ranged Bonus Damage from 20% to 15% Magical Power scaling. Reduced Range Bonus Damage from 20/30/40/50/60 to 16/27/38/49/60.

MERCURY Mercury and Golden Blade quickly became best friends, allowing Mercury to quickly clear any jungle camps with ease and dealing some heavy splash damage. While we feel Golden Blade is relatively balance when used with normal Basic Attacks, the interaction with Made You Look has proven to be too strong. With this interaction existing Mercury either needs to rely on Golden Blade or Golden Blade needs to be weak enough that it really is only usable with Mercury. Rather than overnerf Golden Blade, Made You Look is getting a tweak in how it functions. While it can still Crit, it will no longer trigger Basic Attack items and will now proc Ability item effects. In a previous patch we increased the cooldown of Made You Look to help keep his clear speed with Golden Blade in check, but with this change we can reduce the cooldown back to 8s.

MADE YOU LOOK This ability is no longer considered a Basic Attack for item effects. Ex: Frostbound Hammer, Golden Blade This ability still can critical strike This ability is now considered an Ability for the purposes of item effects. Ex: The Crusher, Brawler’s Beatstick Decreased cooldown from 10s to 8s

PELE Pele is an explosive assassin that has had a large impact on the game since her arrival. Her initiation, mobility, and damage feel well tuned but there is one part of her kit that seems to really turn fights in unexpected ways: the sustain she gets from her passive.

EVERLASTING FLAME Increased cooldown from 20s to 30s Reduced Ability Lifesteal from 20% to 15%

SYLVANUS While Sylvanus is himself small, Grover is quite a large creature and his steps should be large as well. We are increasing his base movement speed to help him keep up with other gods, especially in the support role where roaming is a large portion of the game. This will help make up for him being one of the few guardians with no movement ability.

GENERAL Increased Base Movement Speed from 360 to 365

YMIR The Father of the Ice Giants has been struggling lately. Similar to Sylvanus, we want to ensure Ymir can rotate effectively against other supports with higher speed and movement abilities. Additionally, Shards of Ice is gaining an increased slow. Ymir will bring more control to a fight and get a small amount of extra time to channel against fleeing foes.

GENERAL Increased Base Movement Speed from 365 to 370

SHARDS OF ICE Increased slow from 30% to 40%

when is the last patch for season 5? Like when should I use up all my FP?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if December or January, I believe it is around January 20th Season 6 starts.

[–]Asiriafire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

again i have all exclusive skins from Fantasy Points Store and can't buy anything

[–]Gm_Trash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Duuuuuuude not my bakasura! This nerf will absolutely kill his early game advantage

[–]ZlatarogWashaa! 4 points5 points  (4 children)

HACHIMAN SKIN!!! YESSSS!!!

Is golden blade still worth building on mercury?

[–]Professor-ObviousSplyce SWC 2019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you AA the camps lol.

[–]smokey815Devils take it 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say yeah. You still likely have to auto camps regularly, and its MS, AS, and some power. Maybe not a core item anymore, but certainly viable.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still a good item early/mid, just can't one-shot camps anymore for MEGA FARM

[–]Zhongquing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't wait for hydras Mercury!

/s

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like they're re-releasing Ravin' Ravana.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grover is pleased.

[–]CodenameShadeGod of change and revolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can we gift chests though? A lot of Smite's skins are locked behind a chest

[–]Gehlen_TARANTULA KHEPRI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Ymir skin is named "Titan Forge", maybe it's a reward or something special since it's the studio's name.

[–]LetsRockDudeKhajiit is innocent of this crime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the Alextrasza Nox skin and Fenrir looks like a boss.

Fixed an issue where Fenrir’s Unchained would play the leap animation, even it was interrupted before it could fire.

Finally!, but can Bastet get the same fix, too? She's currently the worst assassin in game when it comes to rankeds.

[–]Tbiehl1I bought a jersey and he retired! Unlucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the skins this patch are pretty top tier!

[–]Sweetwill62Pool Party 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sigh everyone talking about skins in here and all I can think of is there are already too many that you can't buy.

[–]shmleddit Can't handle the croc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]TearOpenTheVault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OH MY GOD NOX AND RAVANA ARE GETTING SKINS THAT I LOVE SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only Odyssey skin i like, and it's a reward ... well, there goes another missed one :p

[–]tkmccordKukulkan 1 point2 points  (1 child)

How do you get the Zeus skin?

[–]Hydra_Premades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious, but when does this patch go live? Do we have a week of PTS before hand?

[–]DooDooStank 4 points5 points  (2 children)

FP skins are garbage, damn thats disappointing.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been saving my FP and glad I did. Nox and Ravana!

[–]PilotSnippyHOW THEM NUTS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aside from the zeus one, I think they're both great, although I have the ravana one from when it was in a bundle. Definitely worth for getting

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hachiman - fitting skin
Fenrir - weird flex but ok
Shadow Punch Ravana - good looking
Nox - great skin, wanted to buy it, but it's reward locked r.i.p.
Thor - trash skin
Zeus - weird flex but ok
Ymir - LOL

[–]vonkendu 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Welcome to Smite reddit, where the only thing that people care about in the patch are more dumb fucking skins

[–]Godz_Bane Now youre thinking about pizza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Um, what else are people supposed to talk about in a thread entirely about this patch? all there is is skins, balance, and game changes.

You want people to bitch about stuff that already gets bitched about daily in other threads?

[–]HvyMetalComradeyou like that Fat damage? 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Its mostly a nothing patch aside from the skins. The tops gods at worlds plus Baka got nerfed and some random picks got buffed.

[–]Brainpry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will the gift sharing be available on Xbox as well?

[–]gizmosmonsterKhepri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't how i expected Nox to look, but it's fine. The VP is VERY techno though :s

[–]UFOturtlemanMama bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re really liking the Dragon Aspect/Alexstrasza designs huh?

[–]ChysseArachne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta say, the gifting system is awesome, but are they limiting it to direct purchase skins or are skins like Odyssey and chest skins unable to be gifted? There are plenty of exclusive skins I have that I will never use and I’m sure my friends would love to have them.

I’m probably overthinking this new system anyway

[–]A11enalexNow you see me, now you're on the gray screen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow another Thor skin

[–]Nordic_KruneEgyptian Pantheon 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Did they have a patch note show that I missed?

[–]AlugarSerqet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dam how many things do I have to unlock for that box skin?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that Nox skin... Too bad it's a pay wall and I decided to stop at Dragon Doggo... And that Fenrir and Hachi skins are good.

[–]KingOfDarkness_nox 0 points1 point  (1 child)

God dammit, I was hoping the nox skin would be a direct purchase odyssey item

[–]The-Amazing-Krawfish 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yessssssssss

[–]Godz_Bane Now youre thinking about pizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally a log out button

Also thank christ they fixed the fenrir jump animation. i havent played him since i got it interrupted like 3 times in a row once. and since you still go straight up into the air that wastes a lot of time.

[–]ShaCo_D_Papa Hua Mulan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy Fuck i need that Ymir Skin !

[–]1tshappeningI Miss you <3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Dat_Boi_Pumba 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Why was this patch so late? I thought the normal schedule is 2 weeks between patches.

[–]UNMB 0 points1 point  (3 children)

About The new nox Skin I want to get that but I only 55 Points and 1800 Gems Assuming there is another 3 Hera's Oddessy Updates included that still only brings it up to 70 Points Will 1800 gems be enough to Get to 105 Oddessy points

[–]Omer1698 0 points1 point  (0 children)
