Update 12.36 has arrived for SMITE, and here’s the complete list of changes and fixes added with this patch. SMITE is one of the most popular MOBA games. Like all games of this kind, we expect active updates to keep the game alive and make the game more balanced. The developers are working hard on the updates, like this one released. The game’s third-person gameplay is the point that separates it from other MOBA games. The game’s style is a little different from the games like League of Legends and Dota 2. Here are the patch notes for SMITE update 12.36.

BONUS BALANCE (LIVE NOVEMBER 29)

Items:

Bonus Updates are smaller and thus, the goals are simpler too, this update’s primary goal is to continue to Nerf Hunters in order to keep Mages in the Mid Lane. The additional goals are to nerf Da Ji, the top contested SPL Jungler, and Fae Blessed Hoops, which are the main reason we are seeing Yemoja prioritized so highly. We appreciate all the feedback we got from the goal-oriented patch notes, and we will continue to iterate on that process to help players understand our balance goals while also keeping the patch notes easier to read.

DEVOURER’S GAUNTLET NERF

We have seen a noticeable resurgence of Mages in the Mid Lane, but Hunters continue to perform well and threaten that lane. We are hitting a few of the top hunters today as well. This item carries across most Hunters, even those played in Mid.

  • Decreased Physical Power per stack from 0.8 to 0.7
  • (decreased physical power at full stacks from 70 to 65)

FAE BLESSED HOOPS NERF

  • (decreased physical power at full stacks from 70 to 65)

The healers that use this item especially well are still at the top of the SPL meta, namely Yemoja, and to a lesser extent, Guan Yu. Yemoja continues to be a controversial topic of discussion, she underperforms in nearly every game mode and skill level except at SPL. We don’t want to rework her and take away a high skill ceiling goddess, but we also want to keep the SPL meta fluctuating. As we continue to look into further solutions, we will be nerfing this item heavily, which should decrease the prioritization she receives. –

  • Decreased Magical Protection from 60 to 50
  • Decreased Health from 350 to 300
  • Decreased Shield from the passive from 6% of your Max HP to 3%

Gods:

DA JI NERF

The power of this goddess is finally becoming widely recognized, and she continues to keep a firm hold on the SPL even after her last round of nerfs. We are hitting her with another set of late-game damage nerfs to balance her out. Her teamfight presence and control are very strong, and that is likely to always be a part of her identity due to the core design of her Ultimate. To offset that, we want her late game burst damage potential to be lower.

HORRIBLE BURNS

Decreased Physical Power Scaling from 35% to 25% on the initial hit

PAOLAO

Decreased Physical Power Scaling from 60% to 50% per shot (3 shots)

CERNUNNOS NERF

This hunter took quite a few buffs to get noticed, but now he is back in full force. His passive makes his objective clearly insane, and he has a very well-rounded kit with no clear flaws. We are nerfing two different aspects of his damage output, focusing on basic attacks, to help bring him more in line with the rest of the class.

HEAVY GLAIVE

Decreased Bonus Basic Attack Damage from 35% to 30%

SHIFTER OF SEASONS

Summer Heat: Decreased Physical Power Scaling 10% to 7.5%

CUPID NERF

This little guy continues to be at the top of the Hunter class, although Ishtar is quickly unseating him (more on her later). Cupid’s Ultimate provides a huge amount of control, and he can continuously output basic attack damage on top of it. We are nerfing some of the passive Attack Speed he gets simply for ranking up his movement ability and also nerfing the CC on his Ultimate in a new way.

FLUTTER

Decreased Passive Attack Speed Buff from 4/8/12/16/20% to 3/6/9/12/15%

FIELDS OF LOVE

Decreased Mesmerize Duration from 1.5s and 3s at max hearts to 1s and 2s at max hearts

NEW SKIN VOICE ACTORS

Bit Fortune Ganesha: Brent Mukai

Heatwave Pele: Becca Q. Co

Winged Machina Nike: Caitlyn Elizabeth

SMITE offers a different play style than others. The characters are named Gods in the game. You can see what’s changed about the gods. We see a few bug fixes with this update, and the others are the bug fixes for the other parts of the game, like the user interface and the connectivity process. We can say that the developers are mostly focused on fixing the current features lately. We do not see new features a lot. But that doesn’t mean we won’t see new features for SMITE, we also opened our eyes to them. SMITE is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and Mac.
