Wow, I couldn't agree more.
His damage is insane, but it's fine, he's an assassin afterall. But his ability to catch and escape anything must be toned down, surviving 3 enemies focusing him is not cool either.

His survivability is way too over-the-top, can instantly heal 40% of his hp and escape a battle just like that cause **** slows.

That Death Scythe has to lose something, either of these.

    Doesn't slow anymore.
    50% Heal> 25% Heal.
    100% Damage> 75% Damage.
    Lower Projectile speed.

Any of these could tone down Death Scythe and maybe take away his ability to ultranuke and/or constantly healing.

His Scent of Death MUST lose the slow immunity. I mean, everybody has slows and some rely ONLY on slows to be effective and this guy can ignore slows for 6 seconds while gaining Pen that ****s tanks and tons of speed over the top.

Hovering Death should be changed back from 150% bonus speed to 100%, his chasing potential is insane.

You know it pisses you off when you see him fly away and theres nothing you can do because he is so fast you just let him get away :D

You watch him fly off into the sun set with his 1hp and you can't get the kill

But it makes you laugh when your DoT kills him while flying or you kill him just before he goes into the air :D

Ya I used his shackles before and noticed the chains go up in the air....
lets just say I did it on Nu Wa and the chains looked like they wanted to fly to mars.

his death scythe should be nerfed a bit and maybe make it so that his ability's cost more health? but anyways when thana is about to go into the sky, its fun to hit him with ao kuang tornadoes so he will most likely die when he is in the air if he is low on hp.

also, shouldn't his 3 be nerfed to no silence or slow? because its like hades 2 without applying blight before using it, but it does damage and slows. so its practically a better hades 2. and if your a squishy mage, well your most likely going to die.
just your average every day signature. nothing special.

Also holy hell his mana cost has to be low or something because last game I played with him I noticed I had pretty much full mana and still had 2 blue mana pots which I bought early game. I literally didn't even waste a pot and was spamming abilities.


Lol, his abilities cost like 30 and 40 mana, it's ridiculous.

I do think that Thanatos isn't as over powered as some people say, but I do agree that his Death Scythe could use a bit of a nerf. The first three are good choices, but I would omit the last one. Actually, I think Death Scythe could automatically go without the slow and still either reduce the healing or the damage. He's already got that silence that he uses to set up his Death Scythe if he's close enough anyway. He'll live without it slowing.

I main Thanny so maybe I have some useful input. Early game it is literally 1 to win. You go in, you press 2 then 3 and 1 and hold left click a bit and they die. Late game though he doesn't fall of he just becomes a LOT less ability dependant. You press 2 and then just auto attack. Seriously Qin's + Rage + DB = Thanatos Left click OP.
You're complaining about his abilities but I'd say most of my kills come from a late game where I can just auto attack. His abilities are fine, they are Great early game for some early feed but his 1 becomes a finisher if they try to run away later as there is no point in using it to engage as it only drops a bit of their HP. I don't think he's OP i just think that he takes skill to play. How, you might ask? Planning, you need to out think your opponents. Quite often on thanatos ill go into a team fight, deth scythe the mage, un into jungle and run around back and kill them whilst the ONE MAGE is retreating. You need to be smart. And besides, if you want to talk about OP, look no further than my Avatar. Loki is probably one of my favourite gods and he can kill a full tank late game if you build enough burst and PEN. And he can teleport, and disappear, and block abilities, and gain immunity to slows, and reduce all damage by 25% and even has the most OP passive in the game. You think thanatos has an OP passive? Try doing 20% more damage when behind someone, and with Loki's skill set getting behind people is easy. Not to meantion his vanish has a bleed which does a Lot of damage. And whilst we're on the topic of bleed let's talk about bastet's bleed. That thing can easily half halth a mage. Oh and also you think thanatos has a high risk high reward execute. The execute threshold is probably the same as NuWa's Ult anyways, and all she does is sit in base and does it to EVERYBODY ON THE MAP. Seriosuly don't pick on one god for OPness when Thanatos is perfect. I like OP gods, after all they ARE GODS. And death scythes has no where NEAR the range and damage of, say for example, Ra's ult. And yes, it's an Ult but the CD is shorter than Thanatos'. Long story short Thanatos is my favourite god and the New diamond skin for him looks incredible and I love him and I want a smite Thanatos plush toy to sleep with at night so I can cuddle him... wait, what? C'mon Kadius you're almost an adult you can't be sleeping with plush toys. Back to the topic at hand, Thanatos's 3 I think needs a biff. It takes far to long for the swing to hit and hit ult needs a buff as it takes far too long to get airborne making it a risky escape. To rap things up I'd say That Hi-Rez gives each god an OP thing. Every god is OP in their own way. If you want a game where every god is balanced and it doesn't matter which god you pick all that changes is the range of your attacks and your speed etc. and all of those things. go play LoL. Every champions abilities are same same but different and everyone's been nerfed to ****. Anyways don't be THAT GUY that goes and nerfs a god that other people are perfectly happy with.
