Ok so before I start running my mouth I just want to say that bellona was made like osiris or to put it into simple terms an anti carry.if that's the case then why would they Nerf the disarm duration and not the damage or something.thats kinda nuts.She is supposed to be an anti carry so dont nerf the ****ing disarm duration.Thats like a good basketball player playing golf. Let him stick to what he is good at.in this case bellona is good at ****ing up a hunter's life so why Nerf something that doesn't need to be touched when its her 2 that's the real problem here.so here are my suggestions

Ability 3:Scourge:
Disarm duration:3s
Damage70/100/130/160/190(50% of magical power)

Ability 2:Bludgeon:
Bonus damage per enemy god hit:25%➡ 30%

So as you can see I think these changes will lower the damage she does while also making her even better at what she is/was made to do.

I don't know for you, but when I play against Bellona, it is not the damage from her 3 Scourge, that kills me, but the damage from his 2 Bludgeon.

So, basically, you are buffing her 3 duration to what it was before, nerfing a bit the damage from his utility skill and buffing his damaging skill ... that's not a nerf.

I would rather have the slam part of Bludgeon doing only 50% damage on gods, but increase damage from Bludgeon basic attacks by 25% (numbers are arbitrary).
That way, we remove her insane burst without removing her wave clear, but still give her a good boxing tool, which is what she should be doing.

Make up your mind will you :^)

The fact that Bellona is supposed to be an anti-carry doesn't necessarily mean they shouldn't target the spells that allow her to perform that role; maybe she's simply performing her role a little too well at the moment.

Having said that, the damage from her 2 has always felt a little high to me, wouldn't be too surprised if it was lowered.

So I looked at her 2 and I think that may be the problem but they should still buff disarm to orginal 3s and take away the bonus damage from the two or reduce the scaling

And Btw Wayne3100 why Nerf what she is good at when its the burst damage that the real problem

It's not supposed to be a Nerf its supposed to be how to balance her into a good spot even though she already is in a good spot but hi rez..as always...nerf the wrong things
For example,they turned Xing Tiana 2 into a slow and reduced the damage when it was the damage from his 1 that was the real problem and now he is starting to get seen less and less

I was making a general point (hence the use of "doesn't necessarily mean"), not arguing that it's the right/wrong decision in this case - I wouldn't know.

Well, you understand my point : Bellona in the current state, is still too strong.
Call it a balance change while I call it a nerf, the point is that she needs to be tuned down damage wise.
If they increase her disarm duration to compensate the damage loss, I would still call it a nerf.

To be honest, I never thought that this 3 seconds disarm was op, even when playing a hunter.
In fact, about every skill other than Scourge make me hate her.

bullfrog all thos her his are from that first comment

Ninja Bellona is physical so she doesn't have magical scaling.

Also why do you buff her 2 while you say yourself that's the problem instead of nerfing it.

Also that gods get played more or less is a meta dependent thing. it happens in LoL and Dota too. the only difference between the 3 is that Dota and LoL are better at getting underused gods played more then Smite

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.
