Why U23 Patch1 nerf Smite Evil and Exalted Smite

[Kassadar]

Release Note Says
Combat:
Smite Evil and Exalted Smite now both have a shorter animation.

But In fact, they have a very very very long animation now, break the attack chain, and only the mainhand damage will appear.

***, dev, you nerf Diving Might before, nerf Smite evil now, what next?
Divine grace? Lay on hands?

What is left for Pal?

We should take 13 hardly useful pal level for the 4th spell now.

Bladeforged is so powerful, then we nerf pal, dev thought.

A rather angry message but with a good point. This new smite animation is definitely a problem, and one the devs should really look at fixing.

ofc they nerfed pally

it was right here and we weren't seeing it, that's why u see more pallys than bards now, strange thing, bards and pallys were almost non existant 1 year ago
