I wanted to throw out a few ideas to the community to ask if they are viable, in your opinions.
  • Guan support

  • Nu Wa jungle

  • Aphrodite support

  • Bakasura solo

  • Freya/Physical support Duo

  • Hades mid

Depends on your definition of "viable". I have won a number of casual games or at least done well running Nu Wa as a jungler. I've seen all of those other setups work too.

Again, I have to remind people: metas are not absolutes. They are just what the competitive scene considers to be the most successful choices based on performance records. You can probably get wins with those role picks, but most people choose not to because ranked play is generally seen as a "play to win" environment, and prefer to ride a safe horse to victory.
Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

guan support is super viable

Hades mid is viable
Baka solo is viable

Aphrodite support can work (needs a tanky solo/jungle)
Freya as "adc" can work

Nu wa jungle is poop

:P
IGN: Marki

Jungle & Support main.

Casually tryharding ranked now and again.

Everything you listed can works. But recquires different team comps to make use of them. As an example, to Bakasura solo works, you'll need:

1# - A Mage mid.

2# - A VERY tanky Jungler( can be a tank or a tanky bruiser).

3# - Another support( can be Aphrodite as an example, or another tank).

4# - An ADC.

And boom you can solo Bakasura with all the ''meta'' balance. But really, I wouldn't want to try that on SoloQ, but I could try that with some people of SMFG later on and give you the results.

I have played Aphrodite support every conquest I play with her. I don't think I ever lost a game doing it either. Super viable.

On a more serious note, why?

I've solo Baka's exactly once, and it was glorious. You are the best splitpusher in the game because you are fast and create your own minions, who deal great damage.

haha [vvs] :(

IMO she is just weak, not sure why she is so weak though. Might just be that I've never seen a good Nu Wa :p

Would a solo Thanatos work?

Oh yeah. Definitely. Just pretend you are Tyr solo, with Tyr's build. It works in league.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
