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 health 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 buff. 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.

Well first we're talking about smite the most unbalanced MOBA I know. And you sir you seem like a oh this god is OP I'm gonna main him. When he get's nerved to normal you lose full interest on him. So as a player who like to play more UnderPowered to Normal powered) gods I will say I hate you. (The only OP god I play is then I mostly play AMC or xba who are in no way able to be OP unless getting fed)

Giving thanathos a buff is going to make him even more OP especially on his ult.

In your first part you say it's 1 to win and no god has such an ability if it isn't the ult. So you just pointed out the main problem with him is his .

Also every god is OP in it's own way go and compare hunters with each other and you will peep different. okay one has a strong poke the other the hardest hitting basic the one has fastest aa speed. But Uhm compare to and you can easily say Cupid is more lie UP.

Also you say and is more OP then thanathos. There is a big difference between them and that's their sustain. and don't have the mana sustain (or health sustain) as thana has. loki's passive can be strong but thana's is stronger because of the sustain. Also can shred a full tank maybe but he is more of a missile. when his abilities are on cooldown he can't escape the other or do his insane damage anymore. rendering him useless in a teamfight. (Okay he can jump in with his ult maybe kill the adc or mage. But if he needed his 1 to kill them he can't escape so he is dead. and if his ult isn't up he has no escape so he is dead. thana can ult out on time or come in with ult and then 3-1 and use his 2 to escape or stay and hack at some other.)

OH and I fixed you comment because it looks like you broke your enter key after the left click thanathos OP. sentence.

Where as Loki has to hide and sneak to do damage to people because lets be real, his 2 is not hitting any god in the game unless you get CC'd into it or are just plain bad at Smite.

Loki is really only doing damage with his Ult to be honest, most other time he has to vanish and hide to come up from behind.

Thanatos can just throw **** at you and chunk a big portion of your health, his 3 even has decent range and silences you.

His ult is good too.

Thanatos can at least throw damage out where loki has to hide to get his damage out if he doesn't have his ult. No loki is going to run out in the open which is why they go through the jungle and vanish from behind.

I wouldn't say is OP, but he is a bit above average. The fact that he is immune to slows is kinda ridiculous and his doesn't hold enough risk in using it. It should have heavier repercussions for missing (more health lost) and a bit less healing on a successful hit. His ult is risky on initiate when playing against someone with half a brain that understands him and his silence ability has a long enough swing time not to be too much of a problem.

ENTER PLEASE USE IT

hehe, yeah you're probably right.
*Enter key pressed*
Thnatos isn't OP, and his Death Scythe healing is really amazing for those epic plays. Just the other day, i was up against a half HP anubis. He was plague of Locusting me and I was about to die, had no HP left almost. Did a 180 death scythe to the face git a quarter HP then pressed two and got the kill. He makes amazing plays but there is one thing Thanatos has that you guys are overlooking. He is probablt one of, if not the squishiest characters in smite.
That guys can only take and Ult from Ra on full HP and defence build before he has to gtfo. Im serious on this too. Thanatos is a squish ball and that's his loss. If you miss your scythe and/or 3 then you're probably going to die.
He ISSSS risk reward just not in the way you think.

IMO, Thanatos is fine where he is. Throwing actual balance out the window and looking at it from a SMITE PoV, he fits in well and is very team reliant. Seriously, why bother at this point? Like it's ever going to change. Either enjoy the game as it is or don't play, just sayin. No use in raging and being mad at Hi Rez for something they inevitably won't change.

I think is squishier than him (and all other assassins). getting the same result from a full efense build but without it getting one shot by 's ult (it isn't hard to dodge.

The only thing overpowered about Thanatos, in my opinion, is his ult. It's ridiculous, but that's kind of the point. It's also pretty hard to juke.

But honestly, he's not incredibly OP. He falls off badly late game and loses the majority of his potential because he's not as good as, say, Kali in a teamfight late game.

Also, he's a real risk/reward god and if you **** up with him you are dead. From mid game onwards, if you miss death scythe you are dead if the enemy is an experienced player who will chase you down. Compare that to other assasins, like Loki, who can turn invisible and run off. Hell, even Fenrir can jump away from the enemy into the jungle. Thanatos has his 2 and usually it's best to engage with his 2 so you don't usually have the potential to escape.

I think Thanatos has to be kept as he is because otherwise his whole formula would be messed up, because he really does rely on Death Scythe.

He's a hard god to use, maybe it's best to remember that if the enemy is winning then maybe they are just outplaying you.
