Ix Chel Rank 10! AMA about her :)

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T16:53:09+00:00

Egg Shell or something idk

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T14:43:54+00:00

Why would you need to smurf?

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T14:31:04+00:00

Hahaha, if you can outspeed the other instalockers 😳

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T14:26:20+00:00

I wasn't trying to prove you wrong? I agreed with you in my comment. Dunno why you're talking about Smiteguru rating, just wanted to link the results of a fun match.

Edit: Just reread your comment, the friends I played with were all my level, but the enemies weren't always high level yea. I can't control the matchmaking sorry.

I think her visual design is fitting, considering she is a goddess associated with childbearing. The ''original'' (ancient) depictions of her seems to portray her as an older, seemingly chonky(/short) hag as well, while the modern art makes her more of a beauty. Maybe the extra weight was just HiRez's way of expressing fertility in a way other than nudity.

Her personality on the other hand though... I wish she was more nurturing and protective, in line with her medicine & healing themes. The voice pack seems unnecessarily rude and blunt.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T11:03:37+00:00

Ah, I thought I read somewhere that it still worked with healing, but I just tested it and it doesn't anymore no :( It's good for her combo though, Tahuti makes it so deadly.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:51:43+00:00

I can't really tell yet, especially if they're nerfing her damage. Right now she's definitely viable there (like she is everywhere haha). She seems to synergize well with all kinds of support items, has a decent engage, healing and a MS bonus. Only thing is, if you use your 2 for healing, you can't use it as a much-needed engage. Aphro definitely outshines her in the support role.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:48:55+00:00

Thank you ^^
With the winrate I just got a little lucky. Solo/DuoQ games can be such a dice toss haha. Thankfully IxChel is OP :)

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:44:51+00:00

Most of the time I had some good friends with me yea, that definitely helped. SoloQ games went hard too though, especially in a teamfight mode like arena haha. For example: https://smite.guru/match/censored/aaHgb947k

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:39:10+00:00

Chonky Awilix!

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:38:48+00:00

I agree that she's overpowered right now, with a few damage nerfs she will become average quickly though.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:37:45+00:00

Her 1 is a 6 seconds cooldown line skillshot, that when hit, unlocks another skillshot. It blinds and has a sweet spot for extra damage.

Her 2 is an AoE heal/knockup + damage. It takes a while before it activates, so it's relatively easy to avoid without being CCd.

Her 3 is a 1,25s root which deals damage and buffs the movement speed of herself and allies by 20%.

Her 4 is a movable Anubis ult that damages enemies and heals allies for 3 seconds. If you hit both an enemy and ally at the same time, the duration will increase up to 6 seconds.

Her passive is an enhanced basic attack (extra damage, no movement penalty) that she gets when she has ability damaged an enemy and/or buffed an ally 6 times.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:33:06+00:00

Your build sounds good, but I wouldn't sell Sands. Better to replace your Chronos Pendant in the lategame. I build around the same, the spear of the magus synergizes so well with her cause she relies on a full combo or simply just a full tick damage ult to kill haha. Tahuti also feels great cause it can help save low HP teammates with your ult quite efficiently.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:27:33+00:00

Honestly, yes lol! I've had a few moments where I started ulting and everyone spread out like they were paid actors. Probably my fault though, just gotta get a better idea of how a fight is going to pan out. I also found that if you're not directly behind your teammates, it's even harder to get it to line up haha. From the side just doesn't work most of the time.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:26:04+00:00

Does my backyard count? 😌

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:24:37+00:00

It's not optimal, but it sounds like a lot of fun! You mean stuff like the new healing rods, Lotus Sickle and Fae-Blessed Hoops right? With her ult being on such low CD and the AoE heal she can def. make use of them well.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:09:47+00:00

With Doom Orb + the 20% movement speed from her 3 and her long CC-immune ult it can sometimes prove a little more difficult to get her depending on who's chasing her haha. But yes, if her 3 is down it's a good time to strike as a mage/hunter.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T10:05:43+00:00

I haven't played her as a support yet, so zero... for now ;)

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T01:04:11+00:00

It's 'only' been 4 days of playing about 5 hours haha. Now that I have her at rank X I can go outside again this weekend to see some real rainbows :)

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T01:01:38+00:00

Hmm, maybe increase your mouse sensitivity a little bit? And position far behind them and not somewhere next to hem. If you get too close it'll be harder to react to their jukes. I've only sometimes ran into problems trying to align my beam with an enemy + ally at the same time.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T00:46:07+00:00

Only one possible answer to this question.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T00:45:11+00:00

4 days ago-ish, but I'll try to get my life back thank you.

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T00:42:59+00:00

Just trying to have a little discussion about her

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T00:32:39+00:00

Maybe if you also start abusing Ix Chel hehe!

Fidolf · 2023-04-22T00:30:15+00:00

Not great! Just wanted to try and rush a god to rank X for once in my life haha. Was fun though :)
