There are only five bow wielding gods in the game. With the new god it will be 6 which isn't that much but I guess it is like three fifths of the amount of hunters in the game.

Here's a little analysis on Hou Yi so far by proxydamage aka Professor Proxy ;).

And we'll be able to play on the new con map in PTS this weekend! [link]

Maybe the rise of transcendence due to this change -> And received the blue buff on the duo side has been replaced by an attack k speed buff (AS removed outof Orange buff). The enemy speed buff/redbuff/purple buff are on the same side now instead of being opposite. So junglers won't have a random advantage. Gods dependent on AS early will have some more trouble. Also sorry for the large image coding is annoying on my phone.

So after playing hou yi he feels fairly strong, like not quite Rama at release strong but still strong, the way to make up for his lack of wave clear appears to that you want to use him as a lane bully almost as he has innately tankier base stats then most hunters. That and if you can land ricochets landing that ricochet shot on a fleeing opponent is a fairly good finisher

This dude has the most jacked up kit I think I've ever seen. The ricochet needs some serious tweaking.

in my opinion he is one of the weaker hunters. The only thing that makes him strong is his mark giving hem bonus pen vision and bonus damage (also the slow is useful for your ult).

The ricochet is nasty when you forget that it can bounce (as I did the first time against him) but without mark it's a bit useless.

His escape is pretty useful for not taking damage (because if I'm right he banishes himself)

his ult isn't that strong as you just use your escape to get out of it before the first sun hits. and walking out from the middle (without mark) isn't a lot of damage that it would do as you can get out of it rather quickly (like zeus ult) (I only took 2-4 hits and with escape ( Rama's roll in this case I got out of it with 0-1 hits)
