To something said earlier, what do you mean *only* 7/13 have stuns? That's OVER half the entire assassin line having a stun. That IS a lot. Don't remove the really unique throw in an attempt to nerf what I find an already very balanced god. If anything it's his natural steroids that matter, not his throw (Since he CC's himself for the duration too, as an assassin)

The dash on his throw also allows him to dash through minions (which is ********) and the throw/toss itself allows him to hit them at least twice while they're in the air.

This isn't so bad until you remember he is an Assassin, and one of those hits is likely to be a huge Crit.

OK so since a lot of people say he's balanced and a lot of other people say his 3 needs to be nerfed; He can't dash through minions?

Can't dash through minions, and cannot hit enemy gods who are still in the air from being thrown.

Also question, but after a summary is put up would it be possible for a Moderator to go and delete comments over finished discussions?

I just feel it'd un-clutter the thread a tad bit and get everyone on the same page without having to wade through so many comments and pages.

Merc is getting buffed, yea they said now he can use his throw while using his ultimate to bring you with him across the map.

Sorry guys for the bad news.

The only thing that annoys me is how his throw is death, he punches you 3 times before you get a chance to get back on the ground and your dead.

I literally checked Smite reddit for this, because that sounds like something they'd actually do.

I sort of agree with this? Like, with his passive nerfed, he'd still be strong.

But your definition of balanced is probably on the line as Janus or I dunno, Kumbhakarna. I think it should be more on the lines of Pos and Ymir.

Back on topic here, I agree that the throw should be left how it is, since it reinforces his "Risk\Reward" style of play, but that it should have the same limitations as stalk prey, and I think that the rest of his kit should give him risk\reward, since both Special Delivery and Sonic Boom do so.

Yeah, that would be cool.
