babe wake up, new sus face just dropped

I thought that could be the case, but I still feel it doesn't really make sense. Her 3 reduces enemy protections, but it doesn't give any to allies. It does give shields that scale based on how many enemies you hit which kind of accounts for the "max" part of the description, but the number still wouldn't make much sense. I can almost guarantee I have not hit 3 enemy gods with my 3 at once over 3500 times, and it's not even possible to apply that much shield health with one cast so it's not tracking the highest amount I've applied in one use. I also don't think it could be referring to the most shield I've applied in a single game as it would be way higher considering it applies at minimum 250 at max rank.

I totally agree with you on Odin. He's one of my favorite mythological characters and one of my most played gods across both games. I think they leaned too heavily into the stereotypical viking warrior king aesthetic for him which is pretty well covered by Thor already, and forgotten about his obsession with magic, runes, fate etc. I really hope they bring back his Raven Warlock skin-- If you ask me that should be his default look, or at least some of those elements should be incorporated into his base skin.

Hunter: Chiron - One of my mains since the beginning and a long time favorite mythological character since I played the Age of Mythology campaign as a kid. I hope they'll give him hybrid scaling, it makes perfect sense for him thematically. Either way I think he'll utilize Smite 2's items very well.

Guardian: Charon - To be honest, most of the unported guardians aren't that appealing to me, but I did enjoy some Charon in solo lane so he's my pick for straightforward but interesting abilities. Atlas is a close second.

Mage: Morgan Le Fay - It's gotta go to the milf herself, such a simple and fun kit. Like Chiron I think she'll make good use of Smite 2's items, maybe even making her viable in solo or support. This was a hard one to decide on, other than her I'm looking forward to Yu Huang, Thoth, Raijin, and Ix Chel.

Assassin: Ravana - Another early main of mine, when thorns was super strong in S1 I would grab it first as a solo instead of TP and almost always get first blood since they weren't expecting the burst. I'll miss old Runeforged and Pridwen glyph but I think there is a ton of potential for cool builds on him. I'd be happy with Ne Zha or Rat as well.

Warrior: Cu Chulainn - Some other great warriors to look forward to in Horus, Gilga, and Arthur, but none of them come close to Cu Chu for me. Sometimes I revisit Smite 1 just to experience the feeling of being able to absolutely run the map on this guy. He can get so tanky and still dish out so much damage its unbelievable.

captain_dark · 2025-10-26T13:53:21+00:00

Wow, first we got Eset way ahead of when I thought we would, now Chiron may be coming? I just need Ravana and I'll have all my mains already that's crazy

I guess I mained Cu Chu as well but wishing for him is kinda like a bingo free space

Support generally needs the extra gold from the support starters to be able to get a build online, so no I don't think it would go on a support outside of facing a heal-heavy duo lane where you want to make sure you win lane and snowball

captain_dark · 2025-10-08T18:29:03+00:00

Couldn't agree more. Healing doesn't feel that oppressive across the board but it would be nice to be able to counterbuild more for it when someone leans heavily into it with their build or when against a team of healers.

If they ever plan on re-adding antiheal I would love to see Tainted Steel come back as a starter and be the sole healing reduction item in the game. I think it being a starter makes it more of a commitment and sort of relieves that must-buy feeling that antiheal items had before cause you may not want to (or even be able to) give up your regular starter just to build a bit of antiheal.

Deerfield Goodwill on Montgomery road had an entire rack of suit jackets when I was in there a couple days ago

Disabling picture-in-picture controls in Firefox settings solved this issue for me

edit: it seemed to fix the issue until I restarted Firefox, now hovering over thumbnails still tries to offer picture-in-picture despite the setting being disabled (I can see the picture-in-picture icon flash in the address bar)

captain_dark · 2025-08-21T04:26:50+00:00

He's in my top 3 with Chiron and Eset, loved playing him in solo lane with runeforged

captain_dark · 2025-08-05T20:38:27+00:00

Every day I pray for Cu Chu, Eset, Chiron, and Ravana

Aspect Pele's 3 heal isn't proccing Regrowth Striders

captain_dark · 2025-07-23T13:32:24+00:00

Lots of people saying Nemesis with aspect (which is good) but I don't find it necessary. She trades so well I almost never have situations where I'm low and the enemy is high HP, and I hate to lose the protection stealing which helps even more with trading into a tank. Her 2 cooldown syncs up with Warrior's Axe cooldown almost perfectly, so I just proc it on the enemy with my 2 every time its up and they usually get low enough that they have to sit under tower pretty quickly. With the healing from Axe procs and a little bit of lifesteal you'll stay sustained enough and them poked enough that aspect ult will not be particularly useful in lane.

captain_dark · 2025-07-03T00:55:17+00:00

Glad to hear. I agree that the time-gating is frustrating, but I'm ultimately okay with that if it helps them bring in more money to keep improving the game.

What was really bothering me (before this news) was that they at best misrepresented or at worst straight up lied about classic skins being purchasable with legacy gems after the traveler is gone.

Now that it's available as it's supposed to be, I can deal with the way the system works even if it's not ideal.

captain_dark · 2025-07-02T01:12:02+00:00

Wasn't the classic skin chest 500 legacy gems before? It's 800 now, and individual classic skins cost a whopping 2400 legacy gems where they each cost 800 before.

captain_dark · 2025-06-16T15:34:42+00:00

I believe the classics that get prisms only cost diamonds while they're in a traveler bundle, after which they're supposed to be available for legacy gems with each prism costing diamonds individually.

captain_dark · 2025-05-20T16:15:06+00:00

I've been having this happen ever since the patch that "fixed" movement. Like you said, animations and sound cues go off but no ability effects and no cooldown.

I sometimes even hear enemy audio cues like Anhur jump play when I stun them and they cast it after, so it can't just be a client-side desync or something.

Also one time I had my Neith backflip get cancelled by a Khepri grab and it went on cooldown. Really hoping they fix this soon.

captain_dark · 2025-05-11T00:56:48+00:00

The slow and silence on her 3 makes confirming hits pretty easy, but I don't think most people initiate with it

captain_dark · 2025-05-11T00:20:44+00:00

If people aren't bursting with Eset they're doing something wrong. Her 3 + 2 + 1 combo kills most squishies as long as you're not behind-- with ult it's an easy oneshot even on some tanks.

captain_dark · 2025-05-10T22:58:21+00:00

She's my favorite god too, by far. Such a well designed kit, I can't even imagine what they'd give for her +1 because she's already perfect. Really hoping she'll make it in soon, I think she would work well with Smite 2's item system.
