- Ah Puch’s Corpse Explosion’s damage will shift around to rely a little bit less on minions, buffing him in the early game;
- Cu Chulainn is getting a wee nerf to Berserk;
- Erlang Shen, Neith, Skadi, Zeus, and Nox will see slight buffs;
- Hachiman and Xbalanque are being nerfed slightly to bring them into parity with other characters of their archetype;
- Zhong Kui should be a whole lot less frustrating to play;
- and Chernobog, the game’s newest god, is getting well-earned buffs to make him easier to play.
Of course, that rundown assumes you can actually get in to play, which isn’t a given as the servers have been struggling to stay afloat thanks to tons of people playing and a strange bug, as Hi-Rez’s Stewart Chisam notes:
Some updates on the SMITE issues post upgrade today. We'll do a better explanation and post-mortem once everything sorted out. Focus right now is on understanding and fixing the issues. pic.twitter.com/5ZQpWxvqAU
