I like him how he is actually. I'd say no change would be fine.

I like him the way he is. In fact, I always considered him to be one of the most balanced gods in the game.

I haven't played this guy much, so I can't tell you if he's balanced or not. However, in every game I have used him. There is one thing that makes me burst out laughing everytime. When the enemies decide they are just going to circle you and you just blow them up with 3 meteors+ the stun from the fumes. Then just dash away like you were never there. Every game I have played with him has resulted in a triple kill from this and I still laugh everytime.

Agni is exceptionally strong and is picked competitively mid lane or banned a very decent amount of times. His burst damage is decent but adequately difficult to land. I believe his strength stems from his unstoppable escape.

Currently, the only way to halt agni from escaping is to use some kind of wall to stop him, that is, Ring of Spears, Tectonic Rift, or Ice Wall. This is too hard to stop as that is way way way too situational.

His dash either needs to be slower, as it's ridiculously fast animation, one of the fastest in the game (meaning he can *literally* outrun projectiles. He isn't mercury!), OR remove the CC immunity. I call for the latter.

His on-demand CC immunity tied to an escape basically ensure nothing will ever stop him except in extended chases, which is definitely impossible during laning phase or mid-game skirmishes. No other mage has this kind of immediate CC - even Scylla has a brief delay before she can do it, AND there's no CC immunity (even though it can go across walls, but I still believe agni's to be stronger in laning phase, especially with how it complements his kit). Agni simply can't be held down. Pair this with a constantly recharging ult that yields some of the highest sustained damage/mini burst in the game, and you have a mage that's top tier.

I do not think he is broken by any means, nor is he a must-pick, but he's too strong. I think simply removing the dash immunity, which gives him free reign over things like No Escape or such, and he'll be in a very decent spot.

I think he's perfectly fine, even with the CC immunity on his dash.

The dash is a bit strong IMO, make it so that he isn't immune to cripple when he dashes?

So that he can not dash over Poseidon's Whirlpool anymore or something?

But I think he is perfectly fine just the way he is though :)

Agni is one of the few gods that can demolish someone in a matter of seconds and still be considered balanced, I think.

*Cough* Loki *Cough* If you replace a matter of seconds with 1-2 skill and one basic attack.

My statement was poorly worded I guess, He can cc, demolish someone, and get out safely (yes I had some nasty experiences in mid lane). Most mages either use their entire kit to burst someone down and leave themselves in a vulnerable position (vulcan, anubis, he bo, isis etc) or can be completely negated by a 1 second aegis (poseidon). Still, no ones complaining about Agni, cuz hes balanced in a weird way. Could be just me tho.

On topic, I like the way he is atm, he is annoying but fine.

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.
