Smite’s Tank Meta: Why Are Tanks Falling Off and What Can Be Done?

A growing concern among players is that tanks aren’t as effective later in the game as they should be. Despite building them to be tough, players are finding tanks can be easily defeated as battles go on. A key point is that the best team compositions in Smite allow solo tanks to be a threat, but still allow coordinated teams to overcome them. This highlights how damage-dealing players become more powerful throughout the game. While tanks are meant to protect their team and control the battlefield, the current game balance makes it too easy for damage dealers to destroy them. The trend seems to be that carries are now incredibly strong, leaving tank players feeling like they don’t provide much resistance.
