aphrodite summary

The goal is to increase her overall impact on the game. specifically in team fights (general meta complains and arguments about support-Mages are not involved here).

Her passive - loving embrace and

The passive isn't that good as there aren't many good MP5 items in the game and generally speaking, who the f*** gets meditation outside of assault? Its only real use is with the blue buff in the duo lane.

Suggestions:

Make the current of effect of loving embrace be built in her Kiss and grant it a new effect: Make it so that if Aphrodite has a soul-mate, all allied gods within 25 feet (same radius as mystical mark receive 50% of the healing of Love Birds if she hits a valid non-god target, and if she does hit a an enemy god the healing becomes 100%.(me)
Decrease Love Birds damage to minions to 50% (Chiulin).
Make her passive share 100 percent hp5 and mp5 with her soul-mate. When her Love Birds hits a target allies in a 30 foot radius also gain 30 percent of the healing.(Chiulin)

Suggestions:

Enemies within 10-feet of an offensive Kiss will be slowed by 50% for 1 seconds OR allies within 10 feet of a friendly/offensive Kiss will have their movement speed increased by 50% for 1 second. (Subzero008)
If her soul-mate dies while they are linked by Kiss, Aphrodite gains additional 20/30/40/50/60 magical power for 4 seconds.
Enemies within 10-feet of an offensive Kiss will be mesmerized for 1 seconds. (me)
Make her be able to Kiss up to two allies. If she have two allies connected to her as soul-mates, she is not affected by any of the benefits of Kiss, Love Birds or Undying Love. (arka222)

Suggestion:

Make Aphrodite gain additional 10/15/20/25/30 protections for 3 seconds after using Back Off!. (me)
If Aphrodite is surrounded by more than 3 gods, allies and/or enemies, the range of Back Off! will increase from 20 feet to 30 feet. (Subzero008).

Suggestions:

Reduce the cooldown to flat 60 seconds. That way you'll have it available at most fights, especially if you get CDR (kinda like Nu Wa).
Make it remove all CC and grant CC-immunity for 1/1.3/1.6/2/2.5 and a damage reduction of 30/40/50/60/70% for the same duration. Additionally, the cooldown should be reduced to flat 50 seconds. (Chiulin & me).

As for the God of the Sky.

is quite clearly one of the most OP gods in the game. He has insane burst, exceptional dueling potential, ridicules anti-hunters-plus-chronos-and-freya-and-nu-wa ability, super area damage, the ability to hit a target from a mile away and an ever-so-available stun, plus great movement speed.

- Either reduce the amount of arcs to 3 or reduce the max range in which the arcs can hit. It's incredibly annoying to instantly get 3 charges on you in one second just because there was one minion or an left in the middle of the lane when you were 15 feet away from them.

I propose giving some counterplay to this sum***** by removing the "Aegis Shield Reflect" ******** he has. Now he has to work for his damn charges. Or at the very least, work a little bit more.

I agree. It is stupid. It is impossible to kill him as a Hunter or an auto-attack based mage. Just by pressing 2 and then 3, he literally beats at least 10 gods of the entire 49 we have.

But, if for some reason, Hi-Rez do not want to remove the Shield-of-anti-carrying, for some vague and stupid misunderstood reason, they should at least make it so that the aegis shield has 3 charges on it. And if he is hit by a basic attack, this charge is removed and eventually the shield itself end when all of the charges are removed (or when it's duration ends). Remember, this is not the ideal idea. It's just a settlement if for some reason they don't want to take it off.

- Some people want it to become 4 charges to stun and the damage multiplication to be something like 1/1.5/2.5/3. I think I'm okay with that, but only if they bring back his swing chain. If there was one thing I think that wasn't broken on is his swing chain. Don't get me wrong, with his entire ridicules kit, it was, but I think it actually had a place. There's a difference between a swing chain the is OP (imagine with 1/.5/.5), and a swing chain that suits the god and his kit, like Zeus had.

Er... didn't really understand you. Did you mean the cooldown on ? Or his ability to apply charges so fast in so many ways?

My 2 cents on some of the ?
- From what I've seen he isn't 'quite' as annoying as I remember. Only thing I would change is his ult: he needs incentive to rank it with the natural progression. My thoughts are make it take a bit longer to prime but give protections/% reduction per level.
- really balanced, only thing I would like to see changed is the blind effect on his 2. It hurts my eyes. Obv low priority XD. Also not having to go against this pushing king in every practice match would be nice too...
- I would like to see her power spread out a bit more instead of lumping the majority into her spirit orb.

And the wosrt thing about has got to be his shield. I like the idea of giving it limited charges, and maybe make it give some more protections. At the very least a shorter duration.

We're trying to make it one god per time.. and is our current subject. Please don't side track to other gods.

Arka, we have literally no idea what you are saying. Zeus has no charge effect that automatically applies when you get within range, so I have no idea what a proximity charge effect is.

, IMO, just needs a longer cooldown, because 8 seconds, frankly, is ******ed when you consider it's use in 2v1 fights. Maybe 12 or even 14 seconds, because a skill like this should not be treated as a nuke.

Honestly, with just a nerf to his Chain Lightning and Aegis Shield, Zeus will still be very strong, but I think he'll be alright. And there's no hope of a huge change, since game designers like to take it slow. I think what we have here is a good start.

Ever since they made it so that anything that makes you immune to slows makes you immune to the stun on , he's weaker, especially thanks to the glory of sprint. I'm fine where he is, honestly, his mobility is off the charts and so is his damage, at least late game.

As for , it would be nice if her ultimate got some kind of buff. Maybe a +5% DR?

I agree with you Sub. 8 seconds cooldown is stupid considering he only needs to land it once to get up to x5 the damage of + x5 charges.

And what do you guys think f bringing back his old swing chain? I really, really liked it. It had a place. And with the suggested nerfs, I think it's okay to bring it back.

So... are we done here with ?

Ya if we nerf his other ways of applying charges we should bring the old chain back, otherwise he might actually turn underpowered
