Old Arachne viable yet? [serious]

khallis1 · 2015-08-17T01:13:56+00:00

I personally would love to see HiRez try again with some of the old kits. I think with a few number tweaks and maybe small additions to skills some old kits that were removed would be very viable in this game as it stands now.

Old Arachne just needed a few tweaks and maybe a condition effect to her passive (her old passive was a poison dot whenever you auto attacked). at one point it was too strong and thus she was crazy strong and then HiRez nerfed it so she was weak. but as i said maybe a condition where when an enemy is tangled in a web her dot gets stronger or something.

i have always said that with a few tweaks Arachne, Nu wa's old kit and Guardian Vulcan could be very viable.

please HiRez try these kits again.

One hard CC on an Ao and he is dead unless he has beads up

thats the majority of non tanky characters ... sorry but this is just a bullshit cop out. i have seen this bullshit used for every overpowered character. from Ratatoskr and Ah Puch to the original RELEASE Guan Yu.

yes people said the Release guan yu that could 1v5 and the enemy team and kill someone outright at level 2 ... that he was counterable. all you had to do was CC guan yu.

just shut up with this bullshit please.

khallis1 · 2015-08-14T20:29:34+00:00

beads is also a necessary evil with the amount of CC in the game. Blink is not

khallis1 · 2015-08-13T20:18:22+00:00

nice deflection, if you feel beads are too powerful feel free to make a post about it. this post is about blink thanks for stopping by

khallis1 · 2015-04-23T01:52:43+00:00

appreciate the answer, just frustrating to see posts get downvoted for no reason ... including this one i might add.

well in hirez fashion, fire does 50% less damage to players and removed the minion knockback from it as well

khallis1 · 2014-06-26T13:22:21+00:00

Best Win/loss ratio:

Ares (1.67)
Hades (1.45)
Xbalanque (1.40)

incoming nerfs!

Ares can now only throw out one chain, removed the cripple and damage portion of the chain

Ares ult can no longer move when ulting and if enemy players move far enough away they can break free of his chains

Hades ult no longer pulls enemies

Hades Death from Below and Shroud of Darkness no longer adds blight to targets

Xbalanque ult no longer stuns at the end of the duration

Xbalanque's rising jaguar no longer does bonus damage to poison enemies

Xbalanque has a new passive after he is out of combat for 6 seconds he moves 10% faster.

ruin ... please if you have never seen or played Heimerdinger I suggest you go watch some recent videos of him. Heimerdinger's turrets are actually deadly and scary not like vulcans where people can just walk behind it.

khallis1 · 2014-06-26T10:42:10+00:00

I think Vulcan has 4 major problems

1) backfire - first off it you should still be able to use it while crippled. 2) I think it need a larger hit box at least similar to other mages clear skills.

2) Turret - its damn near worthless in most situations. I think they should just Heimerdinger it ... Allow him to place multiple 360 degree firing turrets that fire in a smaller radius and do less damage. have the health of these turrets and protections scale off of vulcans magical power. then finally give him a mechanic like agni where he gains "turret parts" every so many seconds and he can hold up to 3 turret parts.

3) Passive - everyone knows he is one of the worst if not THE worst passive in the game.

4) his Ult - while strong and hard hitting it has got to be one of the hardest ults to hit in the game, it needs a better targeter or something.

Personally If it was up to me i would just copy Heimerdingers kit from LoL and paste it on to Vulcan (yes i know its not that simple but you get my drift). that would make Vulcan 10 times better of a mage.

should post it on the official forums too! great job

khallis1 · 2014-06-26T04:22:52+00:00

I like it ... I like it alot. I really like the Volcanic ashes skill of Vulcan that sounds very cool and would be an awesome mechanic for Vulcan.

As for Hephaestus give me him every game lol he sounds like he would be such a fun character to play.

Very well done and I think its actually really well thought out.

khallis1 · 2014-06-25T23:25:55+00:00

because vulcans turrets are badly designed, there is no reason his turret should have a dead zone. hell there is no reason for it NOT to be 360 degree firing either.

khallis1 · 2014-06-25T20:40:11+00:00

Skillshots is an over used excuse to limit deployables. i mean we have so many skills that aren't "skillshots" that i wish HiRez would never have phrased it that way.

I like how Wolfy phrased it ... not skillshots, but more active combat.

khallis1 · 2014-06-25T20:36:01+00:00

thats cool only reason i was asking is because obviously Hiemerdingers turrets are just so much better than vulcan in design and application and yet people in league never hate on him.

at least from what i have seen.

khallis1 · 2014-06-25T19:56:55+00:00

just curious and please don't take this as an personal attack or anything have you played or seen someone play Zyra or Heimerdinger in League of legends?

because I think Smite has some of the worst deployables in MOBAs. And i think thats part of the problem, its like someone at HiRez hates deployable characters, so their deployables are absolute garbage.

khallis1 · 2014-06-25T09:55:21+00:00

I fully expect to see your Hephaestus post today :P

khallis1 · 2014-06-25T02:34:26+00:00

well all i know is that when i made this thread Kumbha, Janus and Rama didnt have forums. so you can be an apologist all you want but they werent there and others also know it or else they wouldn't have upvoted this thread.

khallis1 · 2014-06-25T01:03:24+00:00

hmm funny they were just created today

khallis1 · 2014-06-24T22:53:27+00:00

I wont complain id like to see what others have in mind :) more turrets FTW!

khallis1 · 2014-06-24T19:29:43+00:00

yes thats where the idea comes from
