John Finch always brought joy to those around him. He had us smiling in every meeting, brought out our best in every show, and he had us intrigued and excited during every word of his casting. He will forever be a role model for the SMITE and Hi-Rez community.
Our esports family is deeply saddened to share this news with all of you. John Finch was one of the best among us. He will be sorely missed.

About the new pantheons:. - We want less restrictions on what Gods we make. We want to make the single coolest characters we can. - we will not be in a hurry to "fill out" a pantheon with Gods. Some might stay small for a while. - old pantheons will still get gods this year.

Gotta love all the new players trying SMITE! . Here is a nifty trick to track this since you wont have access to the data that I have:. - go to r/smite.- sort by new.- notice an influx in posts like "Zeus OP" and "Anubis OP".
