Smite Season 5 Conquest update
Conquest is getting a big update with season 5. First details appeared during the patch notes for 4.20. The following screenshots which explain the changes. Incomplete information due to the designers not giving us the full picture. Current map was released during season 2, slight path changes with balance changes. Various art changes like the allied tribute. A major update is coming 20% wider, lane changes including jungle, new art and gameplay changes.
Designers have given us the shape, size and entrances to the jungle. Unclear which parts are entrances. A large amount of jungle detail missing. Gameplay may be different compared to what the image shows.

Left side and right side – Three new jungle entrances in the middle of the lane. Wider more open jungle entrances connecting the towers. Lane appears to be the same size. Two major ways into the jungle start near the tower and one at the middle. Much more open compared to before.
Middle – Fewer jungle entrances connecting across the map.
Designers made a point talking about new jungle paths. Another point is the lane shapes are going to be similar for both sides. Looking forward to learning the new map. Don’t want to make to many wild assumptions. Own personal guess going to take 22 seconds to travel between lanes using tier one boots. Subject to how the jungle paths are designed.
