I'll check on this before I leave and submit a fix for it. May take a day or so but should be an easy fix. 

Max HP.

It was specifically he could cast his A01 but cancel it so quickly it didn't take the cooldown/cost. You can still cancel it to get poly/hydras, but it should now go on cooldown properly.

There will be one tomorrow morning :)

In general, unless we did something artificial, this is partially the nature of matches where in theory teams have roughly even skill.

You can try something like this yourself by flipping 100 coins (or just use a online tool) and in just the few times I tried this just now I had a 4 tails streak, a 5 heads streak, and a 3 -> 3 -> 3 flip flop within my first 10 flips.

Actual win and loss streaks are going to happen unless we intentionally intervened to counter it and after a loss intentionally tried to make your next match a win to make it feel less like streaks happen.

There is a second note to your feedback which is perceived quality of the match, and while ideally each match feels engaging such that win or lose you had fun, feeling like you got 3 matches back to back with teammates who are not on the same page as you is going to stick out. Better quality matchmaking should in theory help but even still, people have their off days. Yesterday in a test I ...

Do you have clear repro steps? I just messed around with it and couldn't cause an issue.

Depending on the type of 'fix' Jungle Practice won't get it.

Basically the Server and your Client have files that dictate how the game works. In Server Games (Conquest for example) your client can predict some things, but ultimately the server makes the call. We can update our server to say "Hey, if this bug condition gets hit, don't do it.".

If this is the type of fix, Jungle Practice won't have it because your client is the only authority since it isn't a networked match. Your client won't have the fix.

Some bugs can be fixed server side only, some client side only, and some require both. Generally if you download an update, your client got something for a fix. If its just 'fixed' without you updating, we updated the servers behind the scenes.

Another build went out tonight with that fixed as well.

I imagine not launching it through steam is going to cause some authentication errors. If you remove the command line argument it should prompt you with the option.

If you aren't seeing it Right Click Smite 2 -> Properties -> General -> Launch Options -> Selected Launch Option -> Ask When Starting Game. This should get you the prompt again at least.

Aside from that I am unsure.

Glad I could help, still forwarding it along just so we can see whats going on with DX12 here.

Make sure to hit the send option, I can bump this in the channel but unsure when someone will be able to look.

When you launch Smite 2 it should also give you an option between DX11 and DX12, could try swapping and seeing if you have any results. Also if you have changed any graphical settings from defaults, maybe try to set them back (and if this results in a fix, I would love to know what setting changed it for you).

Just because of the nature of the crash error message, it is probably a good idea to ensure your video card drivers are up to date, and validate the install. My guess is something is wrong with the blink asset, either the actual asset itself or how its attempting to be rendered.

Did find the issue that was causing this this morning and submitted a fix. May take a bit for a hotfix to pop up that can take this fix but should be fixed in live soon.

As far as I can tell looking at it, this seems to be jungle practice specific. If anyone has a report of this happening in a live match let me know! It is a high number that might get nerfed, but it shouldn't be this crazy!

Tweens basically are moving between point a to point b. Basically all leaps, and some dashes use tweens to do the movement. 

Most dashes more literally tell the god to move in a direction, rather than to a specific point, which is the distinction they have. 

Wonder if maybe in my testing I broke something and thought it was intended, or I saw something someone was testing from the Smite 1 team.

I have my notes up from side by side testing and I was noting that I had missed a feature while working on him for Smite 2 in letting him refire his A01 during the A03, but if my A03 was firing I couldn't cast my initial one. But testing again today after seeing this comment, looks like I might have been testing in a broken state (I am often dev commanding while iterating through stuff, so its always a possibility).

Looks like a mistake on my end, but I personally really like the adjustment. Happy accident!

Definitely get a chance to try him out and see how he feels to play.

We have plans for that, but I imagine we will have a deep dive into that stuff at some point in the future. It is on our minds though!

It's entirely possible and something we can play with when it makes sense!

We are trying to add features to make things like how a god scales and what damage did I just take more visible to help that.

Additionally, in this system even Chaac can just build Strength as if it was Physical Power and it will feel close to Smite 1 in most ways. Its more opt in exploration of different strengths that were difficult to do before with a single scaling stat.

Similar with Actives, we like it to be opt in difficult and depth that you can explore when you are ready to; but you should still be able to play and find success focusing more on Passive Items and more focused scaling builds.

We talked about it, but it felt strange for us that something like Anubis' energy death orb did Physical Damage. I think at a high level the differing types also allows for some more unique strategy when it comes to team composition.

Things are subject to change of course though.
