I don't actually see Smite as a realistic kind of game.

Yes, Gods are 'realistic' in a sense that they conform to human culture, but this is where the problem lies.

Legends are also a part of human culture. Mythology, religion is also part of human culture. And the deeds they perform, mind you, can hardly be called realistic. Really, is killing a lion with a really tough skin 'realistic'? Or is running around the world faster than the speed of light 'realistic'?

That is why in today's standard bolstered by knowledge and rationality, mythic deeds and legends have become something that is considered unrealistic.

Smite is riding on this premise. Immortals and deities, who preside over man and has done deeds and feats impossible to man, duke it out in an all out ear.

If herc can kill the nemean lion with his bare hands, or chaac can tear the sky and make rain fall, then Athena can sure as hell kick *** with that kind of armor.

On Athena's armor, real hoplites who make up phalanxes wear little to no armor since their hoplon shields are ridiculously cumbersome. If they got armor, the most the got are cuirasses. Look up images of phalanxes in Rome total war. If Athena's armor would conform to realism, then why bother adding a dress to a then?

Back again tho. Why are you guys making this such a big deal? Video games have, and always have been, a facet of creativity. And you can't debate creativity.

Regarding your last statement...

I feel like sometimes people are always looking to criticize Smite, and because this time, the kit was fine, they turned to any other issue that they could possibly criticize, and that would be sexualizing her.

Also, sometimes people feel like it is oppressing women and shining them in a bad light.

Don't ask me though, I don't see it as an issue.

facepalm*

i litterly just explained why smite is not completely realistic but still realistic enough that it should keep to our logic. those mythos follow human logic. a guy killing a lion is an impressive feet that is hard to achieve but realistic, a guy proclaiming he makes it rain... well humanity is gullible to all hell so i dont see why that wasn't believable back then.

Athena did not where this armor in the myth's so you pretty much ruined your argument... you use the things that the myths told and then immidiatly went to "then a person with out any protection to her vital organs can win fights"... smite's clothes do NOT give an accurate representation of what they actually wore.

i am perfectly aware of what kind of armor was worn by the soldiers in the phalanx, anthena is STILL very far from wearing efficient armor, the hoplites were lighly armored but the armor they did wear was protecting their vital organs... not their legs or hips or... boobs.

if you dont think you can argue with creativity then you are horribly WRONG. so wrong that i would play a meme her if i wasn't lazy... ah to hell with it, i'll put in effort

not actually the "WRONG" meme was looking for but i found it twice as funny.

if you can't argue creativity then that would mean litterly all critisisms would be come invalid, and im not talking to just critisisms to art, books or other media. no i mean all critisisms in existence. you would be incapable of argueing against religion, government ideas and effectivly all parts of human nature including the bad parts.

you would litterly be incapable of making the argument that hitler's idea's of the perfect world was wrong because it was his "creative mind" that came up with it.

there are 2 youtube channels you should watch... well technacly more but these are 2 simpel ones.

smitefire ****ed up and i had to put this into spoiler to fix it

When was the last time someone talked about the champion kit instead of the sexualization of gods in this thread? If someone comes here to learn about what people think of the god and how good she'll be, they'll be sorely disappointed. I think we've talked quite a bit about the aesthetic design issue and everyone's explicitly explained their standpoint, should we shift to her kit now? A few have tossed in their idea but I'm really curious to see what others who haven't said anything on the topic think.

I think a lot of non-members (aka viewers) of the site would be curious too, since most people who visit god guide websites aren't mastered at the game or a specific facet of it, so they'd be curious to see what more experienced players would think of the new god.

Like I said to Ferrum, I think that the general consensus is that the kit is actually good. And since we aren't allowed to say anything good about Smite, that's why.

Also ryan, the last time there was talk about the kit was on the page before the current one which is made up of multiple quick replies of an argument going back and forth.

To awnser your question: its very recently that there was talk about the kit.

Because everyone agree's the kit was well designed and pretty unique the talk about it ended quickly bcause their is no argueing when everyone thinks the same.

With nox her kit was a bigger problem because it was not so well designed this that was what we argued about.
Her looks were not litterly a stripper but a milf was what hirez went for which is a little less offensive on first sight and was less obvious thus didn't spawn an argument.

EDIT: im gonna try to pass put with a headache now (set headache may or may not have spawn from this thread)

Would you rather me just outright claim the things I am implying?

I mean, I try to be as polite as possible about it, but if you just consider is snarky, from now on, I will now just outright accuse people instead of hinting at it.

I didn't think so.

I'm pretty sure Hercules killed the lion by shooting an arrow down its unprotected throat when it roared at him

Chaac and Ah baby! Chaac and Ah...
