Wings for victory patch 3.23 for smite. Season 4 starting after the World championship. Won’t cover everything only the important changes.
Celestial Legion Helm something that I have overlooked. Won’t change much being honest. Changes to the Hydra’s Star/Hydra’s Lament are far bigger. Cooldown plus mana seen pretty much every jungler pick it up.
Obsidian Shard vs Spear of the Magus
Disagree Hi Rez that mages have options for penetration.
Spear of the Magus works best on dot damage abilities. Can be rather hard apply on certain mages. Item has big problems against any defense. Flat penetration is not very good against targets with defense. Including objectives anybody building defense items. Terrible item to build in certain cases.
Obsidian Shard works on any ability don’t need to follow up. Penetration is % based destroying any high protection target.
Right now flat penetration is weaker but situational. Don’t understand the minor 10 power reduction. Lower power won’t make big different to Obsidian Shard.
Erlang Shen
Changes do nothing not even nerf in my eyes. Don’t fix the core problem warrior with major identity crisis. Feeling more like an assassin over warrior.
Jing Wei
Minor changes removing the crit early. Explosive Bolts now worse still makes her super strong late game. Key problem Jing Wei was super safe with great late game. Higher cooldown on Agility makes her less safe. Unsure the changes are enough. She needs much bigger changes.
Tyr
Uniform stance switch again not sure why this was done.
