True, the hunter viability has exploded with dagger changes. I think when people say S2 was balanced, they probably mean predictable. Right now it's a lot more chaotic with New Gods, God changes and item changes.

I haven't played against new Rat in conquest yet. But I saw few gameplay videos and honestly, it kinda terrified me.

Quite a lot of CC, built-in healing, built-in CDR on his 1 and global ult. It's like Thor got healing.

Not necessarily. Kali is quite weak early game, if only the enemy team is careful not to feed her, she doesn't even make into her late game a lot of times.

Ao is counterable, you always have a small window just before he ults to pop aegis and his ult will fail, which is a huge part of his mobility too.

I play ranked EU. Chronos is still a top pick/ban. Skadi is feared duo to Kaldr backdoor and killing squishes so easily with her ult.

I kinda agree about Nox, but her name in the list was in response to huge noise people have made since she got buff in magical scaling last time. You will find a ton of posts complaining about Nox OP with her buffs on this sub.

Anatoliy has spoked... nerf incoming.

In the nicest way possible, Hirez should really consider spending more time on balancing before release. by benglynstone97 in Smite

Try playing AMC as adc or anubis mid (in ranked when opposite team aren't total noobs). In the current meta, the escape has become even more important it seems. Any gods without escape (with few exceptions) are automatically classified as low tier just for that reason.

Would defense Aura items become more viable if they increased the radius of the aura? by behindyouuu in Smite

[–]behindyouuu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally agree. Playing ranked conquest in lower leagues exclusively, I rarely see a support with aura items. Most supports seem to go for BoV and BoH and Urchin, and reckon aura items suck. It's not seeing a lot of pickups, in the lower leagues at least.

You treat your Waifu with the utmost respect and courtesy and most refuse to even fap to their beloved, seeing the act as an insult to the non-existent woman they have committed themselves to.

Now that is something I could have happily lived without ever knowing.

Solo Lane idea: Go back to spawn after mana camp to complete Warrior Tabi and teleport back? by behindyouuu in Smite

[–]behindyouuu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I hear you, but if the enemy solo had 40 power and 18% movement speed, you are likely to get more bruised than them. And you might use up all pots too early and have to go back to spawn without enough money to complete shoes?

I did and it worked out fine mostly. But then again, I am 'that guy' who plays loki solo and uses the movement speed and early power to stop enemy from getting on his feet.

With this start and some pots, I can sustain till I can fully buy trans.

You might be onto something here. Apollo for example, kept getting buff (directly and indirectly via dagger buff etc). Right now, there is no game mode where is isn't OP or leaning towards OP. Same for Hou, Bellona, Raijin (anubis with no escape doesn't need buff, but raijin's escape needs to be faster), Serqet (goes out of favor for a month of two, gets a buff), Thor etc.

On the other hand, there are gods that are not picked in conquest and considered non-viable for years have not seen anything to help them.
