As the Smite World Championship quickly approaches, which happens to be the biggest tournament of the year for the free-to-play MOBA. Hi-Rez Studios has been shifting their focus from adding new content to making the game be smooth as possible come January.

This starts with the upcoming Rally to Rome patch that is set to take aim at the triple tank and two hunter meta that was prevalent in the Super Regional Lan. Alongside addressing the meta in the game, Hi-Rez Studios is also introducing new quality of life changes for both items and gods.

You can check out all the details of the patch below:

Items

Jade Emperor’s Crown:

• Reduced Physical Protection from 60 to 50.

Now no patch would be complete without a handful of new cosmetic being introduced. Here’s what you can expect for new skins once this patch goes live next week:

• Aries – Abyssal Knight (exclusive)
• Bellona – Defiant (Odyssey)
• Discordia – Mastery
• Hel – Order and Chaos (Odyssey)
• Hel – Mastery skins
• Vulcan – Badlands  (Odyssey)
• Vulcan – Mastery skins

This patch is set to be released sometime next week, and will be the second to last patch before the big January tournament. So expect minimal changes once the next patch is revealed as Hi-Rez Studios doesn’t want to change the game too much.

Additionally, if everything goes smoothly with this patch, console players can expect it to arrive a week after the PC receives the update.
