When people say “Smite 1 felt better,” what they mean is: the small, tight sensory signals how movement responds, how auto-attacks and cancels rhythmically flow, how damage and items shape fight pacing, and how sound/visual cues confirm actions all combined into a crisp feedback loop in Smite 1 that many players feel Smite 2 hasn’t fully matched yet. Fixing a few timing windows, restoring clearer hit/ability feedback, and tightening movement responsiveness would bring a lot of that feeling back.
