I LOVED this ultimate change in the Alpha weekend.

[@eudaimonia359]

Thank god you teleport to the place where your ally died that pissed me off so much

[@nickvaandamme747]

@@eudaimonia359ya bro I don’t know y they would change nothing about the character except her ult that was already one of the best in game , pls make the taught half a second

[@Xesli]

@@nickvaandamme747because the game is quite literally changed. cc is way more important now than ever which is why you get a choice between beads or blink. respect athena players lol they don’t mess around and as an athena player myself, im glad the rest of her abilities are the same. she’s a greatly designed character imo would be cool to have a reflect of some sort tho since she’s.. athena but the cc immunity effect on allies with her ult is gonna be clutch

[@ez6791]

Good change. Please keep tuning the old heads. Some of their kits are so aged to the new guys

[@nickvaandamme747]

Ya but it shouldn’t take a Dev this long to change a tiny detail that’s barely gonna change any actually gameplay

[@queuebe4068]

[@Dotsforall]

Good! Glad this change was finally made to her ult! A long time coming

[@cinnilyn716]

I remember watching this in person, i cried at the end of this set esports is amazing, cant wait for smite 2 esports

[@Gu-Ajojolote]

XD

[@ancientitachi1039]

A change long overdue, so dumb that we had to wait for a 2nd game just for this to get fixed.

[@Sidorio]

Probably due to limitations of Unreal Engine 3

[@alexjv1370]

That is a true statement but hopefully at least 80% of the needed long overdue changes happen. It should be relatively easy as they’re basically rebuilding each character into the game. Hell, I’m just curious if they’ll give up on Persephone and just change her character altogether.

[@nickvaandamme747]

Ya but there’s no actual game play changes just the way the ability’s look , the sheild doesn’t make a difference really, it’s still the same character that we have been playing for 6 years , when will they notice that stuff like that taught ruins the game

[@bendejo8]

id love the ability to pick between shielding them or giving them lifesteal and a bit of power

[@omarbrito8094]

Love how he said help the best way you can after taunting. Yup them cooldowns are brutal and rest of her kit aint really supporting 😂

[@MyBaBydAddY21]

Funny how it took 6 to 8 yrs to develop an idea every developer and consumer alr had.

[@Ninkavbed]

Why can they just make sure you teleport to the target in smite 1 😭

[@silverbolt6699]

Revert the Queen 💀🌹

[@snowghost247]

Thank god 😭

[@ROFLproductionsCORP]

Glad we’re finally able to address her ult staying in place when her teammate died. That was one of the worst feelings while playing Athena.

[@tevinwebster5891]

She should be able to ult to friendly towers!

[@bblade77777]

Why not add an option to cancel the ult as well? That way you don’t join a lost fight

[@smartytarty101]

Took them long enough, Muriel has always done this. If you like smite...give predecessor a try.

[@winkpoke1576]

Im pretty sure her ult used to give a shield a long time ago too. I got back into smite recently and was shocked that the athena ult only gave dmg mitigation.

[@Theinen84]

Didn't it also stun? Which made everyone run away or the fight was gonna turn 180 almost instantly?

[@sirbagelsworth9463]

I still feel like her passive is almost completely useless

[@Dotsforall]

Day 1(+ 3 years and 15 days) of waiting for proper persephone rework. Clue# her passive. 2nd suggestion, her new 2 is ok with being able to get plants down but the 2 landmines between stages need to return. As it stands waiting for seed to plant is wasted and takes too long. Even more so when you are being beat down. Abd lastly for the love of the game dont kill her ult.

[@shokew2241]

SHEN ULT

[@jukimura2557]

couldnt they use red and blue for dmg type?

[@joechilson5790]

Nice fix

[@unou588]

Or, and hear me out, now that you tele regardless of their death you could be 100% guaranteeing your death from an unwinnable situation.

[@willjackson5885]

You can still cancel the ult though

[@Amp5150]

hell ya can't wait to get forced to play support or eat the deserter penalty if I don't want to play a role I hate!

[@bread_plays3984]

If you like the game learn each role! If not probably shouldn’t play conquest!

[@kingofgrim4761]

@@bread_plays3984true but also some people aren’t built to play certain roles. Some people are more support based in their gameplay, some are more focused on other aspects of damaging or controlling space. (All games I’ve played I’ve been a bad support player, but generally pretty/really good on the other roles. My overall smite win % is 15% lower on guardians than any other role

[@Jasoneggb]

So what's actually new?

[@HarbingerDOOM]

The taunt doesn't work as well as it used to

[@Scargx.d]

I think her ult should knock back anyone in the radius after she teleports to the player

[@jukkininth4837]

what if u ult melee ally and he/she is trying to AA or use short distance abilities like Tyr, or Wukong 3, etc?

[@thatguy00271]

[@adolphwasright]

They needed 62 years to make a simple change,pathetic

[@MrSimenGrymy]

yea kinda weird lol. atleast its here now tho :p

[@supadeeduperman]

Did they make it so when she ults someone she gives them cc immunity for a bit or am I crazy??

[@TragikDino]

I think she gets the CC immunity but with the way the camera was I can see how you mixed it up

[@supadeeduperman]

@@TragikDino yeah, she's always had cc immunity for herself but it looks like she gave it to Odin as well. But they never mentioned it so probably not.

[@dimitrimartinez4066]

You're crazy. It doesn't do that

[@TacoIsLoveTacoIsLife]

Everybody said the game was boring.

[@hereticxhexen]

when is the FREE2play?

[@ogunknowledge4681]

I forgot SMITE was a thing, I hope it becomes relevant again.

[@mrmochi6616]

She needs to have a role rework in Smite 2. Her scaling is so BAD in Smite 2 vs Smite

[@leorus1052]

Muriel. so long over do

[@Sorinian]

Man, this patch is OK I guess. Weird to name it Smite 2 though.

[@zek6452]

Lol nice so Athena is like ss+

[@vTensai1]

Much like galio in LOL

[@responseboby]

Zeus sucks in Smite 2

[@harynian]

These animations in 2024 😂

[@dimitrimartinez4066]

It's an alpha version of the game bruh

[@harynian]

@@dimitrimartinez4066 animations wont change "because it is alpha". It is just very cheap game production.

How anyone still plays this game is beyond me they are so money hungry.

[@raven9592]

Gotta love paying for a game you already own and losing everything you have

[@gottlicheswesenumgebenvonp8574]

It would be good if you would stop ruining the game with your updates. Instead of constantly changing the items you could just add new ones. You're ruining the whole gameplay you're getting used to. Instead of ruining the items, you should pay attention to morphing the gods which are just way too overpowered. I've been following Smite since the beginning and I'm telling you, it's just too much to cry about.

[@IamKWil]

Soooo.... instead of patches and proper rework.... we just call it a new game...?

[@sidoGold1980]

Pls REMODEL FREYA completely!! 🙏🙏

[@niyahnauni9061]

.... Looks like the same as the first one 😕

[@coltonallan]

Athena was always a bland character. Wait to see what other gods have changed.

[@tigriscallidus4477]

Why are only 3/4 abilities shown? I really look forward ro smite 2 but the preview videos for it are really not good at all. A lot of them focus on unimportant things (particle effect) and when there is 1 video highlighting something I am interested in (god changes) you forget to show 1 of the abilities. Its really hard to get my friends to also try to play smite with these videos...

[@Grimjr7]

That's because that last ability didn't have any changes. Honestly, the only abilities that had changes for her was her dash and her ultimate. They showed the other two abilities just because they mentioned that most of her abilities are the same. My point is this video showed you all of the changes and everything they didn't show you was not changed.

[@tigriscallidus4477]

@@Grimjr7 really bad excuse. Unprofessional video. Either show everything or just changes. Also lets assume some people might not have played smite or a long time ago (like my friends) they would like to see all abilities.

[@user-on9nk8qj2n]

@@tigriscallidus4477then that could be a different video. Not all videos have to assume no knowledge and be explicit with all basic info. This was fine and useful for playing her.

[@deathghost65]

True. This video seems like a clip from a stream. Maybe later on they will make short god videos like they used to do in Smite 1. Smite 1 used to have a Smite KZbin tab that had multiple content creators and dev videos in Smite 1, to watch while you wait for your queue. I learned a lot from watching those videos, was sad when it was removed from the game.

[@tigriscallidus4477]

@@user-on9nk8qj2n well there would be absolutly zero loss if this would also be in this video. Rather than a lot of bad narrow videos.
