Smite 2 just got a quick fix patch on August 13th, aimed at sorting out some frustrating bugs messing with gameplay. If you’ve been grinding with gods like Hou Yi, Janus, or Ymir, you might have noticed some wonky stuff that this hotfix tackles head-on.
Hou Yi’s Aspect basic attacks weren’t hitting certain deployables like wards and Odin’s wall. That’s now fixed, along with a problem where his auto skill wasn’t triggering properly. Mercury got a similar auto skill fix, so hopefully his fluid playstyle feels smoother.
Janus players had a couple of weird portal glitches. Sometimes portals would spawn at the origin point, which is… less than ideal. Plus, his Unstable Vortex and Through Space and Time abilities could be aimed while tweening inside a portal, which wasn’t intended. Those issues are patched, and they even fixed a missing voice line where Janus didn’t say “Attack the Minions”. I mean, how do you forget that one?
Jing Wei’s Agility ability can no longer be used while banished inside Janus’ portal. That’s gotta keep things fair. Kali’s passive and talent proc now count as healing for effects like Vital Amplifier, which might change how you build her.
Neith’s A02 was tagged as a healing ability but didn’t trigger healing effects properly. That’s sorted out, so Vital Amplifier and similar effects will work as expected.
Ymir players, here’s a big one: the Shards of Ice ultimate had a bug where spamming to cancel it early sometimes just didn’t work. That’s finally fixed, so you can cancel your ultimate without feeling like the game’s trolling you.
Yikes, some of these bugs have been around longer than they should. Wonder why it took this long? Maybe the devs were busy elsewhere, or maybe they just wanted to get it right this time.
