NEW ASPECTS SYSTEM IS JUST WHAT SMITE 2 NEEDED!

[@synistargg2502]

This is actually craaazy cool. Especially for all these gods like (eventually) nox, arachne, flex solo/supports and flex anything really. The devs will be able to lean their kits/aspects more into both roles. Absolute W change/addition 👏

[@Inters3ct]

Yeah making Nox 3 into either a supportive buff or letting her cast her kit from inside an ally would be nutty for her support gameplay. Could even make it so you can't 3 into allies but can 3 into enemies and they take increased damage and team mates lifesteal off them, once again could allow her to cast her kit from inside an enemy but that might be too far.

[@nekobaka6693]

That khepri aspect on top of making his ult more of a debuff execution sounds cool as hell I can see it being something he have.

[@ImmortalMarshmallow]

Paladins' Talent system was always my favourite thing about that game. And I've always hoped they would add the same thing to Smite. this is awesome, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what they can cook with some of these. I also think this can very much help alleviate some of the concern about the lack of drastic changes to some characters. Some amazing ideas have been thrown around, like letting bastet perch on walls or letting Morrigan swap with her clones. Adding these aspects basically lets you make all those awesome ideas, without making anybody upset, because you can always choose which Aspect you want or don't want.

[@veloxicality]

I hope Pele’s Aspect just straight up turns her into a flex mage. Allowing you to focus on the 1’s damage and the aoe damage of the ult without necessarily needing to basic someone. I guess you would lose the auto attack buff on the ult and maybe reduce the aoe of the knockup?

[@OMGWaffi]

Khepri aspect is just brutalize lmfao

[@zferolie]

As someone who loves off meta/normal roles for gods im quite excited to see what they do with this. More gods in the jungle are a plus for me, but i would love to more see damagers transitioning to supports/brusiers. Cant wait to see what aspect arachne would get once shes added in 3 years :p .

Imagine Baba Yaga having several different aspects where she utilizes different sets of "ingredients" for her potions that have a variety of new effects. Or a Fafnir aspect where he's in dragon form (with nerfed abilities, obviously), and his ult transforms him into a mega-buffed dwarf. There are so many wacky and potentially amazing applications for the aspect system. Super interested to see where the devs take it.

[@bryanxo2489]

This is prboably inspired by Dota 2's recent Facet system which is pretty much the same concept. Pre-Game talent you pick that alters your hero in some way. Its made the drafting phase and dota in general a lot more fun, happy to see it in smite 2.

[@GoonApproaches]

deffo comes from their other game paladins which has had a system like this for ages

[@okamiwolfie3290]

It's probably been an idea for a few months, if not more. idk when that dota 2 thing happened

[@kf532]

@@okamiwolfie3290 roughly 6 months ago. it also brought the most tipped balance the game has ever had and that's saying smth because dota balance is usually very good at all lvls(usually only roughly 10 uncontested characters in pro, maybe less). So idk how much I would trust smite to balance it well when they haven't had as good of a track record. Maybe they pull it off well though because it's on a newer game release and can add gods slowly instead of dumping facets for 100+ characters at once.

[@condorgaming4000]

The smite guys also make paladins which has a card system that lets you alter your characters. Pretty sure it's inspired by that.

The aspect of concealment is gonna make ymir bombers go crazy

[@AmLycanThat]

Fucking hyped as shit for aspects, they'll open up a lot of interesting and new ways to play gods for sure but I do feel like they could've been a little more. I want to see more abilities being completely changed like Danza's 2 and Khepri 1 rather than Anhur's mundane passive alteration. Anhur as an adc hits one target anyway, so really it makes no difference to how you play him. It's kinda sad as his aspects could've been wild.

[@lukazgarza4075]

Yeah aspects have to be very relevant changes that alters even what you'll have to build, if it's not drastic then what's the point

[@JStorkey6]

Yeah especially when data mining said it changed his sand pillar, which they could've done a lot of cool stuff with. Never mind ig.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Idea for a potential Nox aspect: *_Aspect of Nightfall:_*_ Shadow Step no longer deals damage when exiting a shadow. Shadow step is now faster, has a longer range, has a longer duration while inside an allied god’s shadow, and confers a portion of Nox’s own strength, intelligence and protections to that allied god._

[@Scuttleftw]

Yeah I agree with you. Or you could make 1 aspect that will help certain gods in multiple roles, just requires more thought.

[@slippery2322]

Counter argument- Some gods are designed for this and some arent. Look at rama for example, 2 of his abilities are basic attack stims and it makes him a monster for that category. You could try to change one or two things for him to experiment. And now someone like Ravana or change, gods who can play really well in 4 out of the 5 roles that exist in the game (or I can do that at least), you can do so so so so much more with their kits to change their playstyles. Would feel like wasted potential to limit them due to some gods not having as much to them to match their energy. It would also suck and cause a lot of negativity if they wasted time making lazy aspects for gods just to make the number match everyone else Also at some point, putting too much effort into some aspects and too many for some gods can hamper development of new gods. Some things can get applies to a new god or we may end up seeing too many repeats of one ability but in different tones. Its a big game design direction question to contemplate

[@Cedricfilms]

​I think you are missing the point of what he's saying. It's going to be hard of course​ but having some Gods have more than others makes the game look bad and cheap. It's that simple. A new player isn't going to assume that some have more because they are good in different roles etc. They will assume the game is unfinished and rightfully so. It's better to just redesign those Gods than to have an uneven amount of aspects. And I don't think there would be negativity if the aspects weren't good. Most of the ones now aren't. I think just having options opens up the game. Some of the Gods that are dominant in multiple roles can have an aspect that capitalizes on one. And I don't think it hinders new Gods as they can be tied to the current Gods abilities. Like giving Aphro an aspect that takes healing from her 3 and makes her 3 do a lot more damage etc. so it shouldn't really conflict with design space. Design the Gods first think of ways to switch their abilities after. @@slippery2322

[@kf532]

depends on the god design. smite gods are usually on the simpler side so you won't need them having 5 options like some dota characters do unless it really fits. For example Chen really likes having 4-5 option facets cuz it rounds out the way his minion army works but other characters only care about 2 because their kits don't realistically NEED it.

[@tyronemagnus1736]

@kf532 Only care about or only have 2?

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Idea to spice up the Anhur aspect: Make it so that his leap also has increased range and a slightly lower cooldown, so that he becomes a more mobile god.

[@BombShot]

As someone who loves danza jg, im really dossapointed in his. I would've loved to see a change to his 3 that makes it more viable for jg personally. Cool system though

[@williamhess1099]

3 days in a row of smite and it's been fun. 🎉

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

I have an idea on how to fix active items: Make it so that every tier 3 item is _just_ a passive effect item, BUT THEN give every tier 3 item in the game (including Starter Item Upgrades) a new tier 4 upgrade with increased stats and a new or currently existing Active Item effect, hybridizing the Active Items with Smite 1’s Glyphs. Chronos’s Pendant for example could become the following: _Staff of Chronos_ 3000 Gold Intelligence 50 CDR 30 MPS 2 HPS 2 Passive: Your ability cooldowns are reduced by 1s every 10s. Active: Toggle to, in sequence, either have your MPS be converted into HPS, have your HPS be converted into MPS, or have your HPS and MPS be set back to normal.

[@charlieriser8668]

I think they struggle enough making new things, for that not be a viable option. Not only would every single tier 3 item now need a new tier, 4 WITH an activateble effect. But they would also have to balance all of it, too. I think that's just asking for too much personally.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@ That sounds like an actual skill issue.

[@catsouplover7745]

Yah I’m gonna be real, that Chaac aspect seems ass. Chaac’s entire identity pretty much revolves around the sustain provided by rain dance. He is gonna be made of paper if you take that aspect. Like the damage has to be insane to make it remotely worth.

[@condorgaming4000]

Nah the damage is bout to be crazy. Especially if it stacks. Then you can use gem of isolation to slow them either further

@ yah but you are gonna die in like 3 seconds because you have no other abilities to help keep you alive and you have 1 form of hard cc. That’s the problem. Like, the damage has to be ABSOLUTELY BUSTED to be even remotely worth considered. The healing it normally provides is insane and is the entire reason why chaac can take any dmg.

[@condorgaming4000]

Just build more bulk. No different than any other warrior without sustain.

@@condorgaming4000 then what is the point of taking the aspect? Also, most other warriors without sustain have way more cc and defensive abilities. Chaac doesn’t have any of those cause of the absurd sustain rain dance provides.

[@condorgaming4000]

He still gets slight sustain from his passive. He has CC with his ult and his slow. When all else fails he can throw his axe and run in a different direction. Then teleport to the axe if they commit to following him. I like the aspect, he's like a better odin

[@xragxgg8099]

Aspects are the only thing that’s made me see some light at the end of the tunnel as far as this games future. The plus 1’s since they announced the rush to 50 have been extremely bare bones which is sad because the thing I’m most excited for is kit changes. Hopefully the aspect system patched this hole since they can retroactively add interesting things to kits when they have an idea. This is gonna be a balance nightmare for a long time though. Mordreds aspect is strictly better imo, and I wish it was just his base kit because they’re probably gonna nerf it and it’s honestly way more fun than his base kit

[@Inters3ct]

Yeah aspects is one of the biggest things that makes 2 better than 1 for me as well. I think with +1s they didn't want to fundamentally change the way a God plays because people get extremely mad when they do that (see almost every rework they've done) but with aspects they're completely optional so even if people don't like the aspect they can just use the base kit.

Anhur’s shifting sands with a tremble effect or a speed increase for him instead of a slow. His ult being a single harpoon that stuns and goes through the person he hits with it while also decreasing in dmg Hercules’ mitigate wounds being a power buff to him and his allies instead of a heal, his ult being a slow or a stun with its dmg decrease to give that support like feeling Athena’s dash being a knock back ability or a stun (only if charged up) removing the slow/mitgation she gets from it, her taunt being replaced with a bleed effect making her more of a scary brusier/jungler

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Ideas to improve Relics and/or Active Items: Make it so, like the aspect system here, you can either have 1 and 1, or 2 of the one while forgoing the other entirely. So if you want Phantom Shell AND Aegis, sure thing, BUT it’s back to a 6 item system for you for that match.

Also he has no hard cc so Ra not a valid supp but even if you try you'll all go for heal buffer items and magical power for scaling.

Their moba core have silently moved on so now all they can do is appeal to this weird space of players that want to play a game like smite but isn't actually a moba. Smite doesn't need need innovation it needs to decide if it's going to be a moba or not.

​@@lordmew5How is Smite dying because they add new things? Also, what the hell do you mean "decide if it's a MOBA or not"? It absolutely is, but it's also always been different from League and DotA

@@Yoshyguy21 where did I say smite is dying because they are adding new things? Smite should be different by a slightly different map and buffs and different items not by removing boots so the so the game lacks what should be a solid length early game that shows you know how to properly farm and play in a lane

Can't wait to see the insane amount of copium when smite 2 flops.

Can't wait to see u log on and put thousands of hours in and feel stupid for being a weird hater.

Smite 2 will succeed

[@Merc7734]

If smite 2 flops, hirez dies and if hirez dies then smite 1 dies.

​@@Merc7734Smite 1 is dead regardless. They are not going to keep working on Smite 1 once Smite 2 launches

​@@Merc7734only silver lining i guess is predecessor still lives maybe and maybe gets a player base spike as smite refugees go to the only other third person moba. League and dota wont have those like me who just don't like top down click to move MOBAs
