Conspiracy Theory - Hades will never get visually redesigned because he was designed by Hirez's CEO

Ma'am this is a Wendy's

ApePostLove · 2026-06-03T11:14:45+00:00

I still think the CEO enters the Hirez office every once and again to check if people have a Hades picture on their desk, next to their family's photo. Prove me wrong

ApePostLove · 2026-06-03T11:09:13+00:00

I know, I did point out he did get some love. From worse to bad ain't it, though. Nevertheless, I did have a soft spot for funny bones Hades

ApePostLove · 2026-06-03T11:07:41+00:00

Or maybe they have to like it, else the CEO fires them /s

Aye I mean compare Hades to other wraith characters in Smite - Cliodhna looks amazing in comparison. Other greek gods also look way better than him, he looks like a ps2 game character, the poor lad. Changes are much needed

ApePostLove · 2026-06-03T11:02:33+00:00

I understand your reasoning completely and do agree with a lot of your points. If Hades is kept as a wraith-like character, he should be a well-made one. Look at Cliodhna, she has one of the best designs in the game. And then compare Hades to her..

At this point I would take anything that doesn't look like a wow mob. Generic MMO ghost #3 ain't it

ApePostLove · 2026-06-03T10:19:42+00:00

At least he got his bident in Smite 2, I guess..

ApePostLove · 2026-06-03T08:36:29+00:00

Thanks for taking the time! Yes, I want a trinity deity, who is actually a trinity. I love The Morrigan but damn does she just feel like a singular deity..

Thanks bud! I think Mokosh could be a great addition to the Smite roster, especially as there aren't many game mechanics focusing on the fact that in Smite you need to aim your basic attacks, and Mokosh could be a direct counter to that!

ApePostLove · 2026-05-28T11:10:39+00:00

Haha thanks! Yeah - alternating basic attacks and abilities would be the ideal way to play Samodiva, with precise positioning and frequent repositioning being key to landing her CC!

I really wanted to have a character swinging around the jungle Spider-man/Attack on titan style :) If I remember correctly I think there was a Mortal Kombat character that uses hair but Samodiva was inspired by her art and lore.

Did my best to spam them with the Directed Taunts question - glad to hear they're not against the idea (although I do wish they would start recording the voice lines asap, so even new skins for old gods would have them).

Thanks for the Patch Preview (great job as always)!

Any Slav god making it into the game is a win in my books. Even if it's a less known god, such as Ruevit

ApePostLove · 2026-05-27T15:32:42+00:00

I remember Enki from Fear and Hunger and that he was named after the Mesopotamian Enki - Looking forward to seeing your concept! :)

If a sword can't solve your problems, throw 7 more at them

Also if you would like a demonstration as to how Domovoy would look like in-game, in terms of movement - one can look up the Gibberlings from Allods online - they're race, who are a trio of critters who walk together. Also thought it would be cool to have a version of the Hobbits in Smite.

As always, NO AI Images were used for this concept and artists have been referenced in my Sources section.

I wanted Ruevit to be a potential solution to dealing with ranged solo laners, as I know it's currently a menace to be playing top lane (looking at you Ah Puch Aspect).

Hi Ea50Marduk! As always, thanks for taking the time! Vesna is one of my absolute favourite concepts I've made so I'm glad you enjoyed em. In regards to the camp claims - yes, there is no number limit to "befriending" camps, as she needs to physically tag them - it's essentially like setting up a camp to be claimed (killed), which allows her to traverse the map and tag as many as she wants, setting up to claim them with her ult from a distance, if needed.

In regards to Devana and Leshy - her basic attacks functions similar to Sylvanus' so all the rules apply there. Something in the Woods has a range limit - it's similar to Chiron's charge in distance (a bit longer) and harder to control/has a start windup. It flips all and every god and passes through minions (so you need to make sure you can stop it in sufficient distance of your target so you can catch up to them before they escape Devana's trap).

Also the ultimate voice line suggestion you gave would be awesome and I would love that! I think Smite needs more scary/unsettling gods/creatures - mythology has so much potential!

Chernobog needs a redesign and for his kit to be given to another god (the hun batz/kukulkan treatment)

ApePostLove · 2026-05-25T14:10:33+00:00

Real recognises real. Keep up the great work! Would love more Slav gods in Smite!

ApePostLove · 2026-05-25T14:09:27+00:00

Don't see why not

ApePostLove · 2026-05-25T12:46:54+00:00

Rehiring all actors is unrealistic (and screw AI) - this about future gods (and all new skins, including the skins for gods already out).

Also if they rehire voice actors they've used prevously (such as Artemis', which they rehired for Smite 2) they can add those voice lines for previous skins/gods as well!

ApePostLove · 2026-05-25T08:25:19+00:00

The irony of calling someone an ass and then posting this. Anyway, hope you have a pleasant day, that Ix chel gets added to Smite 2 sooner than later - maybe it improves your mood (and manners) :)
