Smite 2 long range is too powerful

Hello, I’m writing this post because I recently been trying out the smite two beta and I was hoping that they would actually keep mages and range attacks not so powerful but looks like they’re gonna keep it the same way. This is why people really don’t play this game is because your attacks are way too overpowered so is your mage attacks I don’t mind playing Tank or short range Dps but it gets to pull towards ridiculous I literally played Ballona and I couldn’t even walk towards armitis without having 3/4 of my life drained and now when you attack you slow down so all they do is just run away and then shoot you from a distance. Are they gonna fix this or is it just gonna be the same?
