Mercury is a messenger god, and it reflect this in his moveset and abilities and lore.

But that isn't all he is. He is also the god of thieves and merchants, and of the crossings of boundaries.

Long story short: Why not include multiple aspects of one god? It would open up more creative outlets and it'd be fun seeing two kinds of Ra square off against each other.

Hm, quite interesting. i think the problems with that are a) it would lead to a lot of overlap. Apollo and Ra both sun, Odin and Zeus both father-ish, etc. b) Making two movesets per god would run HiRez low on ideas for new gods that aren't just re-hashes of the older ones. c) not every god has two aspects, that would P.O. some people who are fans of those gods (stupid i know, but it would happen) d) how would you implement that? Buys a god and choose an aspect in select? Or there are two versions of a god that have to be unlocked separately?

Don't get me wrong, its a fantastic idea, which should be implemented in a moba eventually. Just maybe not this one, with so much pre-defined lore.

Actually, I think SMITE if perfect for this. In fact, SMITE may be the only one possible for this, because unlike other MOBAs with predefined, fictitious champions/heroes/blob-things, SMITE has gods with non-standardized lore, with multiple authorities on the subject.

One can claim Artemis is a hunting goddess as much as she is a moon goddess and a huntress, but people will raise a fuss if Garen started to be an AP caster.

It's simple; just treat them as separate gods. This is kind of like Infinite Crisis, the MOBA with comic-book superheroes, with multiples versions of the same character. (Vampire Batman, Victorian-era Batman, Modern Batman, Medieval Batman, etc)

yeah but hirez kind of screwed them self over if they ever wanted to do it like that. most gods who are the god over more then 1 thing like art of apollo have some aspects of those things worked in already. artemis her death animation is her rising to the moon, apollo has a sun amulet and his crossbow finger guns and athena is the goddess over wisdom and a different kind of warfare then ares. she has scroll's haning from her belt as well as armor and a giant spear.

while there every god has 1 main focus they also all have something that reprisants there other powers.
i personally really like that they did it like this but hey opinions are opinions.

I kind of wondered really why they haven't made her scrolls into a skill. Shame really. Put it on her but she never uses it. :/

Should of at least make her animate it with her 3. Like she uses it to summon the warriors.

again smite focuses on 1 aspect of the god and with athena it's warfare. so no wisdom abilities. they are just more of a hint to her other rule.
