Lets make him aphro II: Aphro harder
change his 1 to some kind of kiss that makes a mate
2 to be a self defense machanism not sure what tho
his 3 lets him heal by throwing flesh eating birds of love
and his ult should be a global 10 stun that cant miss.

Me and DarkJaw discussed a bit and so far we've said we're going to change his kit. We're going to continue it tomorrow.

zeus summary

The problem witth is that, quite frankly, he is just ridiculous in every single aspect. He has insane burst, superb dueling potential, very high area damage, the ability to take down 50% of someone's health from a mile away, great movement speed, and the ability to deny any attempt of an auto-attack based god attack him.

The problem here is that, while it's a skill-shot, just by hitting one enemy, you can deal x5 the damage of + x5 detonate chrage damage. And that's just by hitting one skill shot. Yes, you can argue that if land squall, he can easily burst you down withtornadoes & spirit's tempest, but, damn it, he still needs some aiming. With , all you need to do is hit one enemy, and you can reach another enemy god within a mile away from them and still deal massive damage. All of that, while having a mere 8 seconds cooldown. The reason it's ridiculous is not by itself, but the follow up damage from that doesn't require anything from the .

So, what do we do? quite simply, increase the cooldown, to somewhere between 12-14. (Subzero008). It's a skill shot that can easily take down 50% of someone's health in addition to stunning them for one second just by hitting it and pressing another button.

aegis shield

Probably the most broken thing about as of now. The issue with this one, is that just by pressing '2', basically becomes invincible for 6 against auto-attack based gods for 6 seconds, which we have about 12 of them (, , , , and all of the Hunters etc.) The fact that he can just apply a charge at those gods without even attacking, while he can apply charges with basically every other ability he has (apart from on top of his auto attack which apply them... it's too much. He doesn't even need to work for his charges with aegis shield.

So, what do we do? Quite simply, make it so that the shield doesn't apply charges on every god that auto attacks him. (~~Me, Subzero008,~~ THE ENTIRE F***ING COMMUNITY).

A so called "settlement", which, I disagree with, just because the above suggestion is the best solution, but if for some, stupidly vague reason, they don't want to remove the auto-attack-charges-reflect, we can make it so that aegis shield has 3 charges. And for each auto attack, a charge is applied to the attacker, but removed from Zeus' shield itself. And if all 3 charges are removed, the shield expires (or if the duration has). That way, he won't be able to deny 3 gods that auto attack him simultaneously, but still maintain the ability to counter. Just a reminder; this is not the ideal solution. It's just a settlement if Hi-Rez doesn't want to remove the charges reflection. But I vote for the first suggestion, and I think that all of the community does.

Also, if the suggested nerfs are applies, we'd want to see his old swing chain come back. It had its place. It suited his play-style and his kit. Sure, with his current kit, he is already broken as hell and the swing chain just empowered him even more, but they took it away and it wasn't what caused the problem. There's a difference between a swing chain that suits the god and a swing chain that would be overpowered like there's no tomorrow (imagine with 1/.5/.5 x swing chain.

As for Goobis... I don't really have many worthwhile ideas, so I'll just remind us the problem; He is too extreme. He has one of the highest bursts and DPS in the game, but virtually zero escapes, mobility, and way of defending himself. His only choice is to either kill, or be killed. His only escapes are which is only a single-target stun skill shot and his that slow enemies by 20%. The problem is that he just has absolutely no way of escaping someone, unless he gets or something like that. Even his mighty-burst-rival has 2 forms of escape and a hard CC/slow.

In short, we need to trade off some damage for escapism and survivability.
