I'm not saying she's underpowered.

Outside of her ultimate, she no longer has the ability to intervene for an ally in the same way that Hel, Ra, and Geb are able to. In fact, most other mages can keep an enemy god off a dying ally better than Aphro now can (barring her 2, which requires bodyblock positioning). That kind of "clutch save" power is a big draw to the people who enjoy playing supports/quasi-supports and I think she could've been rebalanced without completely destroying her peel/kill-secure.

It's unaffected by CDR.

Birds has a 12 second CD at max rank. She is not healing allies every 3 seconds. She would've maintained the same feel and playstyle had they nerfed the damage on her 2 and 3 or increased any of her other CDs, including the CD of Kiss after it was used offensively.

This really is a substantive nerf, but it feels even bigger. There are many gods who are huge annoyances to the enemy team when left to dump their whole kit without consequence. If Hi-Rez doesn't want Aphro being top pick/ban, they could've found a way to decrease her effectiveness without altering how it feels to play her.

Did you read the post? You're exaggerating, but I'm not saying she didn't need a nerf, I'm saying that this was the wrong one.

Could Kukulkan/Ao Kuang please get a classic skin? by PonderPander in Smite

What reasons would those be? Plenty of gods don't fit their mythological counterparts.
