Ares, Nu Wa, Anubis and Hades are all fine where they are right now.

Yeah, Guan is pretty much just horrible at this point. He does like zero damage aside from his ult.

I also think that 's ult SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO KILL SOMEONE INSTANTLY. LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL ****.

Every other burst Mage in the game has the ability to do so. , , , , , (doesn't even need his ult). Vulcan's is the most avoidable. I can honestly tell you that does more damage in theory than Vulcan ults, and it's less avoidable (you can easily aegis Vulcan ult, but Freya can bait your Aegis or at least hit 2 of them if she's smart).

Can't really understand if sarcastic or not. Anyhow, 4s of basically immunity to CC on a 12s cooldown isn't balanced. I call it CC immunity because if your tank uses his peel on her, it's wasted, because she can just pounce back to safety while Ymir has his on an 18s cooldown. That is not balanced. She was literally invulnerable for 4s, unless you got freaking lucky and ulted as Ao Kuang while she jumped into it.

Ares has zero peel and all you need to do is dodge his , and even then, you can beads them and jump / sprint away. His ult is the most counterable and easily avoided ult in the game; Beads or Aegis do the job, on top of the fact that about every single god in the game have CC immunity on their ults.

Nu Wa is absolutely garbage. She has no damage / burst, especially now with , she is ridiculously ultimate reliant, and all she does in Conquest is split push and that's it. As opposed to someone like Apollo who can both split push and do basically everything else and be freaking amazing at it.

All Anubis has is damage, and he can't defend himself. Beads and Aegis completely shut him down, as well as magi's blessing, which is just THE counter to goobis. He is a sitting duck in his ultimate and , and CC can easily disrupt the latter. And once you dodge any of his abilities, namely and / or , you can wreck him 1v1. He is outbursted and outranged by other gods like or , and he is also "outsafed" by them.

Post patch, Hades is literally a walking ult. What is his damage? Huh? into ? Easily avoided, and does no damage. Even with minions now, it doesn't scratch you. And his ult is more avoidable than Ares'. Aside from Beads & Aegis, you can just jump out of it. And he is a sitting duck in it, on top of that. And his peel is terrible. Hades can do absolutely nothing in pita bread.

His damage isn't the problem. Aside from his auto attacks, his damage remained the same. The problem is that now he is extremely vulnerable. Without the self protection buff on his , he is a sitting duck while channeling it. On top of that, is easily dodged and interrupted, by either jumps or CC. And because it has no burst, because it's so long and sustained, he is too vulnerable when channeling it. So, he has to build a lot of protections. But, with protections, he has to give up on power. And without power, his clear if ****ing sh*t. His early clear is just poop, because it's so weak and interrupt-able. Almost every god in this game has hard CC, and so they can easily stop his which he relies on so much, and because it has a long cooldown, he can't do nothing. I can honestly say that Kali can solo better and has better match ups in the solo lane than Guan Yu.
