•  New overhaul of the Death Recap and Combat Log! 
  • Players can access the combat log (T screen) to see more details as well as the top player stats of the match across friendly/enemy teams.
  • When a player is eliminated, the death recap HUD panel will display automatically. More detailed information can be accessed through this panel which opens the combat log. When players respawn, the panel is hidden.
  • The panel contains the following elements:
    • Total damage value taken
    • Total damage type percentage split bar
    • Split into 3 damage types: Physical, Magical, and True
    • Show the % of total damage was caused by each damage type
    • Top 5 damage sources in the last x seconds leading up to the player’s death
    • God profile or NPC icon representing the damage dealer
    • Ability/Basic Attack/Item icon representing the damage dealt source
    • “Killing Blow” noted on which source caused the final damage to eliminate the player
    • Color coded bar fill

• New End of Match Victory/Defeat experience when the Titan dies with camera pan animations and Audio
• Text chat
• Added a Play Again button in the End of Match Lobby 
• Increased Mastery Level that can be achieved in Co-Op modes from level 4 to level 7 
• Item Shop
  • “Split” view of the item shop now looks and functions like the SMITE 1 Console Item shop (classic HUD version) 
  • Typing to search will clear filters to make sure the typed item is found
  • Typed text will clear via the clear button, clicking a filter, or closing the shop

• CC Buffering
  • Getting interrupted out of abilities is one of the biggest frustrations in SMITE 1 or 2. This nerfs Crowd Control in a way that nothing else can. Increasing Cooldowns, decreasing durations, or raising the DR floor don’t solve the frustration of getting interrupted out of abilities. Introducing CC Buffering hits our targeted goal of adding more counterplay to CC without needing to reduce it. This will greatly impact the feel of the game for new and casual players, while keeping the feeling of SMITE. CC Buffering completely changes the game at a high level in a way that feels worthy of a true sequel.
• What is Buffering?
  • If you are Crowd Controlled while in the Prefire of most abilities, that ability will not be interrupted 
    • You will still be CC’d
    • Your animation will continue to play until you have fired the ability, then you will be put into the normal “CC’d” state
    • You won’t be able to move your camera while CC’d
  • The new rules are simple. If you successfully input an ability, it will go off - even if you got CC’d
  • This does not mean that you can input an ability while CC’d and have it go off. You have to input the ability before the CC lands
  • Leaps are able to be Buffered. If you input a Leap and you are CC’d during your Prefire, you will land at your target location. If the CC duration would last longer than it took you to get there, you will still be CC’d.
• Lane Minions
  • Minions will now prioritize attacking Towers over enemy Minions
  • Previously, Lane Minions would chase targets forever until their target left vision range. Now under most circumstances, they will break off their attack when entering the Jungle. Detailed rules are as follows:
    • Minions will chase targets into the Jungle
    • Minions will drop their target if the minion itself steps into the Jungle
      • Unless the target recently damaged an allied God
    • Minions cannot acquire new targets that are already in the Jungle
      • Unless the potential target recently damaged an allied God

• Preseason
  • Season 0 will kick off with a week long “Preseason” which will start with the Open Beta patch on January 7th, 2025
  • Players will maintain their Skill Rating from the previous season as we perform one final test of most new functionality 
  • Players Ranks will be reset and Season 0 will officially begin on January 14th, 2025! 
• Season & Split Format
  • Season 0 will be separated into 4 Ranked Splits:
    • Season 0 Winter Split
    • Season 0 Spring Split
    • Season 0 Summer Split
    • Season 0 Fall Split
  • SMITE 2 Ranked Splits will represent an opportunity to shake up the Ranked ladder and to earn Rewards! The first round of Ranked Rewards based on achievement will be granted at the end of the Season 0 Winter Split. 
• Ranked Resets
  • Hard Reset (Start of a new Ranked Season)
    • Hard Resets have historically been a period of reduced matchmaking quality due to the complete wipe of skill data. SMITE 2 will preserve some skill data while still providing a fresh start for players. 
    • Skill Rating (SR) will be hard reset to 0 for all players
    • However, all other player matchmaking data will be adjusted much closer to the median value, and then entered back into a “calibration” phase where adjustments can happen much quicker for all players – but not completely wiped
    • Note: Skill Rating is incorporated directly into Ranked matchmaking, so a reset to 0 for all players will lead to chaos on the ladder - but this [GOD:Change] aims to embrace the good chaos and “sort it out” much faster than in SMITE 1
    • Season 0 will start with a Hard Reset of this nature on January 14th, 2025
  • Soft Reset (Start of a new Ranked Split)
    • Soft Resets were historically an opportunity to shake things up only at the top of the Ranked ladder, so as to not punish players still trying to make progress at lower Ranks. 
    • While this is still a mentality that guides our philosophy to Soft Resets, given that Ranked Rewards will first be granted to players at the end of the Winter Split alongside the first Soft Reset, we will be aiming to make the Soft Reset a more community-wide event for players to jump back into Ranked and prove themselves again. 
    • Further details will follow closer to the end of the Winter Split. 
• Ranked Conquest Format
  • The Ranked Conquest Format underwent many changes during the Ranked Test Season. To kick off Season 0, and provide a resource for any new Ranked Players, we will detail the current SMITE 2 Ranked Conquest format, with new changes to the format for Season 0 indicated with the [NEW] tag.
  • Rating System: Skill Rating (SR)
    • Skill Rating (SR) is a ranked system designed for SMITE 2 which describes your skill level and rank tier 
    • All players start at the minimum SR, which is 0, and will work upwards from there
    • SR is uncapped, but adjusts much quicker when a player is underrated 
  • Ranks
    • All Ranks up to Demigod are separated by 600 SR, and split into 3 Divisions
    • The Ranks, with their starting SR, are as follows:
      • Amber (200 SR)
      • Bronze (800 SR)
      • Silver (1,400 SR)
      • Gold (2,000 SR)
      • Platinum (2,600 SR)
      • Diamond (3,200 SR)
      • Obsidian (3,800 SR)
      • Master (4,400 SR)
      • Demigod (5,000 SR)
    • Once in Demigod Rank, players will battle to earn the Rank of Deity, which is reserved for the Top 100 players worldwide and requires a minimum rating of 5,500 SR 
    • If a player loses SR that would drop them from their current Rank (ie. Gold 3 → Silver 1), a player will first fall to the minimum SR rating for that Rank, at which point they will have to lose one more match before falling out of their current Rank 
  • Parties
    • Parties of size 1, 2, or 3 can queue for Ranked Conquest
    • [NEW] Parties will be matchmade based on the average Skill Rating of the party (previously was the maximum Skill Rating)
      • While matchmaking parties based on maximum skill rating limited the opportunity for boosting, looking at its realized impact on the Ranked ecosystem it became clear that the much more common outcome was underexperienced players causing low quality matches for all players in a higher ranked lobby
    • Matches are limited to party compositions that give both teams equal chance at victory (+/- ~1% winrate) and those matchups are:
      • Any match with mirrored team composition
      • 2111v11111
      • 311v2111
      • 311v221
      • 32v311
    • Solo Queued players will have their SR losses mitigated after losing a match where parties are present in the lobby depending on the number and size of parties (up to 15% mitigation in the 32v311 lobby)
    • Players will receive reduced SR gains and losses if the SR range (difference between highest rated player and lowest rated player) of their party exceeds 1,200 SR
      • 25% reduction up to 1,800 SR
      • 50% reduction up to 2,400 SR
      • 75% reduction over 2,400 SR
  • [NEW] Teams will have their pre-match god bans increased from 1 → 2
  • [NEW] A player must be Level 5 to queue for Ranked Conquest
  • [NEW] Significantly increased the adjustment rate for Skill Rating (SR)
    • Analyzing the Ranked Test Season, it was found that it took nearly double the intended number of games for players Skill Rating to become properly reflective of their skill at SMITE 2 Conquest
      • As such, the adjustment rate for SR has been greatly increased
      • This [GOD:Change] will primarily affect SR adjustments while a player is under-rated
      • The quality of opposition will now also play a slightly larger role in adjustments, with the potential variance of SR adjustment due to strength of the opposing team being increased by ~25%
• Rewards
  • Season 0 will be the first SMITE 2 Ranked Season to include rewards based on achievements. There will be rewards based on highest Rank achieved, but also new forms of rewards to reflect competitive achievement in SMITE 2.
  • Ranked Titles
    • “Demigod” Title
      • Earned the first time a player reaches 5,000 SR in Ranked
      • Tracking for this title starts after the Season 0 reset on January 14th, 2025
      • Will be first granted starting in the next SMITE 2 Open Beta patch
    • “Deity Winter 2025” Title
      • Earned by any player holding the Deity Rank at the end of the Winter Season 0 Split
    • “Ranked Speedrunner 2025” Title
      • Earned by the first 10 players to reach 5,000 SR in Ranked Season 0
      • Tracking for this title starts after the Season 0 reset on January 14th, 2025
      • Will be first granted starting in the next SMITE 2 Open Beta patch
  • Ranked Border
    • Ranked Borders are returning in SMITE 2! This cosmetic will display a player's highest achieved Rank for Season 0 – but the way to earn this border has been slightly changed for SMITE 2
    • A player will first be eligible to earn their Ranked Border at the end of the Season 0 Winter Split
    • To earn the border a player will be required to complete a minimum of 10 Ranked wins
    • The Rank displayed on a player's Ranked Border can be improved if a higher Rank is achieved in a future Season 0 Split.
    • More information to follow soon!

We have been hard at work to expand the tools available to the team in order to provide improved matchmaking for SMITE 2. While this is an ongoing process, there are many exciting new features being implemented into both Ranked and Casual Matchmaking.

• “High Skill” Lobby System
  • One common piece of feedback for SMITE 2 matchmaking was that players queueing at the same time at the top end of the skill ladder were being placed into matches with a large variety of players with a range of skill levels instead of a match together
  • This new system runs alongside the “standard” matchmaker and heavily prioritizes immediately creating a match consisting of only top rated players if a balanced match for 10 players exists
  • This allows us to be more restrictive for matches of all skill levels due to the reduced pressure to find matches for high skill outlier players
  • This system will be active in both Ranked and Casual modes
  • This system will be live January 7th, 2025
• Multi-Dimensional Skill Filtering
  • New technical functionality that allows matches to be filtered by multiple player experience and skill values simultaneously, a key feature for the continued development of more complex matchmaking systems for SMITE 2
  • This will immediately impact both Casual and Ranked matchmaking by incorporating a more complete player skill metric into the matchmaking process, alongside existing metrics such as SR or Player Level
  • This system will be live January 14th, 2025
• Region Specific Matchmaking
  • What works best for one region may not always work best for all regions for a variety of reasons (ie. population, play habits, etc.)
  • For example, this allows us to place tighter restrictions on matchmaking for high population regions without disproportionally disrupting queue times in lower population regions
  • This system will be live January 7th, 2025
• New Player Matchmaking
  • Progress is being made towards an improved new player matchmaking system
  • This includes a more frictionless process for a players first few matches, better separation of new players from more experienced players, and the ability to backfill matches with bots when necessary
  • More information to follow soon!

  • Stealth grass areas have been adjusted or moved to support the new layout changes
• New Jungle Camp: Cyclops Warrior
  • There are two new Cyclops Warrior camps; one on each side of the mid lane
  • Defeating the Cyclops camp drops a new pickup called the Cyclops Ward
    • Cyclops Wards function as normal wards…for now
    • Cyclops Wards still count as a normal ward and obey the rules of the normal wards
• New Jungle Camp: Scorpion
  • A new Scorpion camp is found closer to each base
    • The scorpion camp is harder to defeat, but grants more XP and Gold for defeating it
  • Defeating the Scorpion camp drops a new pickup called the Eyes of the Jungle
    • Activating this pickup pings all enemy locations on the minimap once
• New Fire Giant Pickup: Obsidian Dagger
  • When the Fire Giant is defeated, an Obsidian Dagger is spawned near its death location
    • Any player can pick this item up, including enemies!
  • This item will drop if the owner is defeated
  • This item will also expire if not used within 3 minutes
    • This is shown on the buff bar for now
  • When used, it deals 500 true damage to the owner but grants 15% increased damage and attack speed for 6s
  • If using this would kill the player, it would instead revive them to full health and still grant the buff at the end of the revive
• New Breakables
  • Silver and gold pots spawn around the Gold Fury pit
    • Breaking them or running through them grants a random amount of gold
      • Silver pots grant 2 - 3 gold
      • Gold pots grant 10 - 20 gold
  • Fragments of Fire Giant’s power can be found within the Fire Giant pit
    • Walking through them grants +2 Strength and Intelligence permanently
    • At max, two can be present in the Fire Giant pit
    • They respawn every 80-90s
  • Helpful wisps roam the jungle
    • Walking through them grants a health regeneration buff
      • Regenerates 1% of Max Health per second for 10s
• Naga Buff Changes
  • The Naga jungle buff has been converted into a pickup called the Crystalline Egg
    • Players will have two charges of the Crystalline Egg
      • Using a charge spawns two Naga Soldiers
    • Players can target an enemy with the Crystalline Egg, including enemy gods
    • If the Naga Soldiers do not have a target, they will search for any nearby targets
• Roaming Harpies
  • Roaming harpies can now be found patrolling each quadrant of the jungle
    • At most, two harpies can be roaming in each quadrant at any given time
• Jungle Camp TTK Changes
  • Jungle camps will now be much harder to defeat
    • Without a starter item, jungle camps will take 16-19s on average to defeat
    • With a starter item, jungle camps will take 10s on average to defeat
      • This should feel roughly the same as previous patches
  • The jungle starter items have been adjusted to meet these new timings
    • Details can be found in the item balance section of the patch notes

•  One of SMITE 2’s core goals is enabling new ways to play your favorite Gods in more roles. We want to push this further, and give players a choice that alters their God’s kit and further enables new playstyles. These are not a “plus One on top of a Plus One”- There is a tradeoff for selecting an Aspect
  • Since these are designed to have tradeoffs, there should not be a power creep component
  • Our expectation is that both the normal God kit and the Aspect are viable for different builds, roles, and matchups
• Aspects are an optional choice for Gods, selected during the God selection phase in the match lobby
  • These will be optional so that you can still play the God with their normal kit, OR select their Aspect to gain a tradeoff
  • Available Aspects will be shown on the right side of the HUD in the skin selection panel, and can be toggled on or off
• Aspects usually focus on the one or two clear components of a God’s kit
  • We don’t intend Aspects to be a completely different version of a God, but rather to feel like a new big twist on the God when you’re playing with and against them
• Players are able to view ally and enemy Aspects on the scoreboard in-game
