Karthus stays on ground immobile and chants a ?song of death? that hits all enemy champions. If It's a global ult it doesn't mean it is copied. And BTW , it wasn't Karthus's . It was Zeus's from DotA. :)

LoL doesn't have something like Rama instead of Xerath but it isn't the same.

As far as I know , Cabrakan's ult doesn't match.

Be the best and **** the rest !

No, that's not possible. Smite is bigger than you think. It is the 20th most played PC Game this year so far and the third most played moba in the world.

well this depends hi-rez has a reputation when it starts going to make another game. the last game gets abandoned. happened to tribes when they started on smite and with the game before tribes when they started on tribes.

lol, I love how the moment any ability EVER SLIGHTLY resembles an ability from another Moba, everyone calls omgwtfbbqover9000hax. Seriously, chill out. You guys are saying it's the same ability BEFORE IT'S EVEN RELEASED.

It's not a direct clone.

I like playing the game.

That's what matters doesn't it -_-

Some people need to take a lesson from this kid.

If you don't like how Hi-Rez is handling Smite, then quit your *****ing (which is all irrational, because the ability hasn't even been RELEASED yet) and go play the games that Smite is "copying" from, because Smite is, as it always was, free to uninstall.

Thanks to Ferrum for making the sig pic! He's beast af people.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again here (and I've even told this directly to you in a thread), Smite is not going to go the way of Tribes. Tribes didn't make HiRez much money, and being a small company, I doubt they could have effectively worked on more than one game at a time. MOBAs are big money makers these days, so they decided to try their luck with Smite, and it paid off nicely for them. They won't abandon it because they don't have a reason to. Until this game stops making them money, which I'm sure you can clearly see is not anytime soon, they'll stick with it.

Look, I understand you don't like HiRez. I don't like a lot of what they do either, but they're not the human forms of Satan. Bring it down a few notches, please.

As far as copying, please spare us that argument. Yes, they copy skills from other games, and some times it's so blatantly obvious, but is it really that big of a deal? Not really. You think LoL or Dota2 are completely original in all of their ideas? Hell no. Every game copies other games. That's just the facts of gaming. If you don't like it, why are you even playing current generation games or even games from the last few generations? It's not a bad thing. If they can take ideas and make it work in the game, then what's the problem?

As for the Arachne skill, we don't even know what it does yet. We literally have one still image of her, and we're already complaining about copying? I mean, I understand criticism, but damn, aren't we doing it a bit early? Next we're going to start complaining about the upcoming god/goddess that we know nothing about because "why not?", right?

Most people know by now I dislike a lot of what HiRez does as I ***** about them a lot, as do a lot of others here, but lets at least save the *****ing for when

a) They deserve it
and
b) We actually have something to ***** about.

Tribes Ascend was never as big as SMITE is now.

While certain ideas may not be completely original, they can still put something into it other than making it a near carbon copy. For example, Valla's (HEROES OF THE ****ING STORM FTW) Strafe looks like a clone of Kataina's Death Lotus, because they're both powerful ultimate nukes that involve you spinning around, unable to cast or attack.

However, they both are differentiated by use and role and other things. Valla's ult is a powerful nuke, but doesn't compare to nukes from other assassins such as Zeratul or late game Nova's insanity. It also takes place over three seconds, which means that while its DPS is high, its burst is not. What makes it so useful is the range and the AoE damage, as well as her ability to move and its interaction with her passive, making it so that you can strafe enemies to death as long as you kite them properly. It's the reason why Valla is my favorite champion.

Now, I'll be honest, I don't play Katarina, so my info is secondhard and taken from playing against her, but her ultimate also performs the role of AoE damage. The difference is, its range ensures that you'll be in incredible danger while using it and unlike Strafe, its burst is pretty ****ing insane.

Kat's Death Lotus cannot be used like Valla's Strafe. Using Strafe at point-blank range will get you either stunned, wasting the ultimate, or killed from being outbursted. Death Lotus cannot kite people. These are both spin-to-win AoE ultimate massive nukes that prevent you from casting like normal, and yet, they both are unique and have different playstyles. Blizzard and LoL are ****ing original.

Now, take a look at the image. We can already deduce a lot of info from this picture. Arachne is up in the air, which means she is either untargetable or banished. We can see a ground targeter - we can safely assume it is her landing position, because the alternative, making her freely cast while suspended, makes no sense - imagine spiderling nests midair. And now, we can see its range. We don't know its maximum range, but we know it can go at least that far, which looks to be a significant distance.

So basically, we know that Arachne makes herself untargetable (if not invincible) at the very least, climbs up into the air, and can land at target location to deal damage and/or CC. So yes, I feel perfectly justified in calling it a clone of Elise's Rappel. For all I know, it can heal her, it can stun enemies, whatever. But the core function of the ability; avoiding hits and getting a free hit and movement and whatnot is still there, and it is still identical to the function of Elise's Rappel.

And THAT is why I call it a clone.

Maybe it's some sort of leap.

Ofc it does damage when she lands. That's the most obvious thing ever.
I mean, she's a ****iing spider and you complain about her being able to climb up?
It's extremely logical:

Spiders climb on walls.
So Arachne climbs on the ceiling (walls would probably be up). She's obviously invincible since she's upp on the ****ing ceiling. And when she lands she has to do something, otherwise it'd be boring.
