I would love to see a "Capture the flag" type mode in Smite 2. Instead of a central flag both teams fight over, I think each throne room should have a flag that needs to be stolen and brough back to your base. Enemy flags can be captured only when your flag is in your base. To prevent stalemates, the match will end after either 15 or 20 minutes. Most flags win, otherwise it ends in a draw. It would need it's own map, but about half the size of conquest. No towers, phoenixes, or titans, but could have side objectives like apophis, and a new creature that reveals all enemies on the map for a short duration (15-30 seconds) Side camps and minions for farm as well.

My choice would be Loki. He's just too safe and hard to lock down, with a ton of burst damage. I can get behind the slow immunity in his invis, but also movement speed? Getting body blocked by an illusionary decoy is also pretty obnoxious, and any time i see one on the enemy team, I can count on them invading our jungle for free, and getting a couple level lead. I will continue to hope for him (and Susano) to be nerfed into the ground.

One of the biggest changes from Smite to Smite 2 is how items work. Strength and intelligence on items have replaced Magical and Physical power. There are still gods that deal magical or physical damage, however, the abilities and auto attacks scale based off STR or INT. For example, Sol is a god that deals Magical damage, but auto attacks scale off of STR for every god, so for Sol to have hard hitting autos, she needs STR in her build. Sol's abilities however, scale off of INT, so building INT will make her abilities hit harder and be more effective, but her auto attacks will not do as much damage as they would had she built STR. Some gods have Mixed Scaling. Odin is a great example of this. Odin's Lunge ability scales off of STR items, but his Raven Shout and Gungnir's Might scale off of both STR and INT, so for the most effective build, he needs both STR and INT items to bolster his damage output. Make sure when choosing a god, you know how their abilities scale with STR and INT for maximum efficiency!
