We can discuss it!

pets arent gods

It wouldn't be that large of a surprise... we did specifically write in the 9.5 patch notes that these changes might buff healers.

The brawling rule was never intended to take all healers out of the meta, its intended to decrease out-of-combat healing which creates less interesting gameplay and is often a big complaint point for when healers do become meta.

We know that a group of people in this community aren't very keen on the brawling rule and how it was implemented, but the more we look at the more successful we think it was.

Brawling makes sure that high sustain gods need to fight against other gods to get the most out of their sustain. When we implemented brawling we also were very mindful of the various types of healing, and brawling was in fact intended to nerf all of them. Self healer and Lifestealers are also very powerful archetypes in SMITE history, even though they generally draw less rage to them than group healers.

The brawling rule n...

Well the ability mentions leaps. Which includes those underground travel abilities.

What awilix is really looking for is any sort of "leap" state or "rising" or "falling" states.

She cannot pull from banishes. All three of those ults are banishes.

Freya banish does drop enemies from the banish so there actually is a short fall that awilix can pull from

Well this is from 2018 and was clearly in response to some sort of context.

Knockbacks and knockups are the same type of cc and thus the same type of immunity but the direction and momentum applied can be different.

We tend to use knockback for hits that apply mostly horizontal movement. And knockup for mostly vertical.

Generally we tried to use knockback as the default term but then people complain that's it's inaccurate because many are used to knockup or the ability knocks more vertically.

I'd agree that the immunity text could be more consistent and all should say "knockback" because it is in fact the same immunity.

As for other interactions and applications it tends to use the one that's most accurate or relevant. For example. Awilix pull only cares about elevation. It does not care how the enemy gods got there (as long as they aren't cc immune)

yes ive already got a note to the designers to look at some of these ability/item texts to better clarify this. Will work on it for a future update!

youre welcome, sorry about this

the change as listed in 9.5 might ship and remove his procs for some amount of time, but we will undo it as soon as we can to return those item interactions back to him.

thanks for the detailed information. both of those posts are quite recent, was the susano change also recent? or are these likely returning players or players returning to susano for the first time in a while?
