Smite 11.2 Bonus Updates: New Item and God Nerfs

Golden Shard is getting nerfed because of its efficiency in different roles that players use for clearing lanes. The item allows an easy prevalence of one team upon another because better farming results in more Gold and XP for the Gods. 

• Decreased minion damage from 25% to 15%

Transcendence is being nerfed because it turns out to be very helpful to physical mid laners in the early game. This puts mages at an even bigger disadvantage as well as the assassins.

• Increased damage required per stack from 700 to 800

Fail-Not is used in various builds so developers want to reduce its efficiency to Crit and Ability hunters.

• Decreased Physical Power from 35 to 30
• Decreased Critical Strike Chance from 20% to 15%

This nerf is mainly focused on reducing the superiority of Basic Attack warriors.

• Decreased Physical Protection from 50 to 40

Conduit Gem is getting an additional buff to its shortened stack time from the last patch. 

• Increased True Damage per stack from 1 to 2

As one of the top Junglers in the game, Thanatos is getting his early game nerfed.

Scent of Death

• Decreased Penetration from 15/20/25/30/35 to 10/15/20/25/30

Charon is getting even more nerfs since the previous ones weren't enough.

 

Spectral Surge

• Decreased initial hit damage from 90/120/150/180/210 to 80/110/140/170/200

 

Summon Styx

• Decreased damage from 230/300/370/440/510 to 225/290/355/420/485

The developers are trying to nerf Thor without removing the fun of playing him. This is why they increase the cooldown of Mjolnir's Attunement instead of changing its other stats or removing it. 

Mjolnir's Attunement

• Increased Cooldown from 12s to 14s
