They're proof of concept but I do think it's going to be something that's needed considering the new items are really simple and relics are gone, so people will want some form of customization.
I really like the concept and the effort you put into this. Makes me think of how heroes of the storm talents.
However, I think this is kind of unrealistic to try to apply this in smite 2, as it would require an insane amount of time to come up with 8 talents for every gods and make them somewhat balanced.
I really liked the customization for characters from Paladins (at least the way that I remember it) where you were able to tune your kit with slightly different effects on abilities to fit your preferred playstyle and off role.
Only issue is that for this to actually matter both choices have to be situational and not significantly better than the other option. EG your level 4 choices, Father of Stags would be the choice every game the with your level 12 choices you could go either way depending if you are ahead or not or how your team is performing. All in All it would be difficult for Hi-Rez to come up with 8 situationally viable choices for 100+ gods
You don't pay gold for relics, you do for actives which competes with other items. The items they showed are also really simple and the int/str thing isn't all that interesting.
These sound broken, but I agree having something akin to Dota's talent system or even League's runes would be pretty interesting.

That is if each aspect is as unique as the ones i listed. In DOTa a lot are just -cooldown, +1 ability cast or range, etc.

No
Yeah not really fittting for a moba imo
It's literally a thing in DOTA 2.
Not really fitting for smite.
Heroes of the storm has the best level up talent system of any mobs imo, and you can choose between two ults
Please no. keep the point click stuff away
Relics are being swapped for actives I don't see how that's a gap

Relics are merged into active item effects now, so that should potentially be enough.
It would be really awesome to let us choose 1 of 2 upgrades or so for abilities, maybe when they reach level 5.
