I don't care if the Mayan pantheon is generally not clothed. Xbal is fine. And if they can make an exception for Artemis in the Greek pantheon, and Freya and Hel in the Norse pantheon (in the opposite way) and every single other examples of scantily clad women in the middle of properly dressed men of the same pantheon, they sure as hell can make an exception for Awilix. God.

But they don't, because HiRez.

She'll be an interesting one, buut i'm not sure i'll be playing her.

As for her, ahem, clothing, i don't see a proble with that. Mayans aren't known to wear sophisticated armor or clothing. Their culture isn't like Rome's or Greece's. Heck, she's lucky she got any clothing at all. Then again, covering her in jaguar skin would be too Xbalanque-ish and not too lore-conforming, since she got a panther.

A little trivia : "Suku" is an Indonesian word meaning "Tribe".

So you're going with the lore defense. Sigh.

If Smite was lore accurate, all of the greek gods would be fighting in loinclothes, or nothing at all.



It's completely hypocritical to make someone like Zeus wear clothes against the lore, and then let Awilix be practically naked, because of the ****ing lore. You should either be lore accurate, or say "screw it" and make everyone looks sensible. Not this ****ing idiocy of having virtually every single goddess sexualized beyond belief, while the gods are turned into dignified warriors.

We all know all know Hi-Rez and their relationship with lore.

Try not to let the clothing (or non clothing) get in the way of her. She looks like she'll be a very unique assassin, one with an interesting role.

She'll be a very tough goddess to play, in that if you don't hit your 3 (I think it's her 3) from behind you lose a lot of burst potential. At the same time, if you do hit your wombo combo, you'll be heavily rewarded as her chase game looks incredible.
Thanks to Ferrum for making the sig pic! He's beast af people.

Yeah, so far I've seen:
Hit 3 from behind
Ult
Attack until you're on her 3rd auto attack, in which you use W for the added damage or whatever
PANTHA TIME >:) Jump onto em
Continue AA until dead. Her ganks seem amazing due to that knockup and you an enter the lane so fast with the panther.

Also P.S. the champ idea I mentioned earlier is now done and in my sig. You can check it out if you want it's pretty awesome.

She looks neat, the anti leap ultimate I pretty brilliant since Smite is such an "Escape or Die" MOBA. She seems to be an assassin that excels at sticking to her target, not allowing them an opportunity to escape. Which is a welcome change of peace since almost all other assassins rely on bursting there enemy down before they can even get the opportunity to run away. Looking forward to her release.

On the topic of her lack of cloths, I really wish that people would stop using the "But goddesses have always been sexualized, because goddesses are suppose to be beautiful!" argument.

First of that's kind of like saying "Well movies sexualize woman all the time, so video games should do that to!"

Secondly: I feel a lot of people don't know the difference between overly sexualizing a character and making a character look beautiful.

Look at Maya in Killer Instinct 2 and the latest Killer Instinct.
Spoiler: Click to view

In the picture to the left she is not even wearing cloths, she just has a couple of patches of jaguar skin to cover her delicates. Not to mention boobs are almost has big as her head. She was clearly designed this way to satisfy men's hormones.

In the right one, she is weary something that a real person would actually wear in combat, while still showing some cleavage and a lot of leg. She isn't super busty, but she is defiantly not flat chested. She looks like she is ready to fight anybody who stands I her way and she still looks absolutely gorgeous, because she is a beautiful woman, no amount of cloths can hide that.

What I'm trying to say is that: when somebody says that a character is overly sexualized, they don't mean "make them uglier" or "cover their body" they mean make them believable, make them wear cloth that somebody would actually wear in a fight and don't make them super busty just cuz its hot.

I've always been under the impression that the Greek gods were supposed to wear clothing, vases and urns always depict people in the nude because (apparently) naked people are easier to draw.

I agree with Nex. That's almost exactly how I feel.

I'm just glad everyone's biggest issue is the art design and not the balancing/kit/etc.
