He and his kit are not anything like Rama at all.

Well I suppose you could argue that the chest-sash thing is the same, but thats the only really noticeable thing about it.

I feel like this is HiRez's way of slightly changing the meta without anybody realizing since now crit builds will become less dominant in Assassins and ADCs. I mean, Geb/Hou Yi lane might also become a thing which, again, will make crit builds less dominant now. Not to mention in the dev interview for the new map they say that they wanna make more original kit designs now. So that could mean a team of 5 crit nullifiers or something like that.

I'm guessing they implemented Hou Yi to do well against Rama and Apollo who thrive on the crit build. Since Anhur and Neith do extremely well with the unicorn build, they might be a counter pick to him. However without any good clear he's about as viable as Artemis.

The only way he has good clear is maybe a Ymir lane. Bounce your 1 back off his wall. Otherwise you have to awkwardly clear the archers with your 1 (bounced off a wall) and auto melee minions. Even with the ability maxed out, you still have to auto every minion...

Aaaaand I'm also thinking he may be the first hunter viable in the jungle. You can bounce your 1 three times clearing camps soooo easily, try it. His ult is more for team fights so he could be like a Hun Batz hunter (AoE ult).

Nice kit but don't think he's too viable as an adc rn. He needs better clear. However unique, I like it. Hi-Rez said somewhere they're going to make more unique kits like Awilix and Hou Yi have so far :).

"Show Mana Usage option has been added to the User Interface. Enabling will show mana cost per ability on the HUD."

Suggested this about a year and a half ago, finally getting added. It's such an obvious feature to have, should have been on the UI from day one.

Also, SO ****ING TIRED OF BOW WIELDING GODS, JFC.

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.
