Smite’s April 11th OB7 Hotfix: The Buffs and Nerfs You Need to Know!
Discussions among gamers revolved around the adjustments made to prominent characters in the game, particularly Amaterasu and Thor. Amaterasu, previously a powerful force in battles, experienced a decrease in her basic attack power and reduction of her haste effect to only 10%. One player, FengShuiEnergy, expressed it bluntly: “They took Amaterasu’s powers away and left her for dead.” The general consensus seemed to be that these changes were harsh. Similarly, the duration of Thor’s slow was reduced, causing some players to feel his overall usefulness had been diminished. wrath__ commented: “The nerfs on Amaterasu and Thor make sense, but changing Ares is unnecessary,” suggesting that while some characters needed tweaking, not all the changes were justified. This reaction underscores how carefully players watch their favorite characters and their impact on gameplay—since in Smite, a player’s main character can quickly become a problem for the entire team.
