Loki was never that great to begin with, he was a fun pick that pubstomps uncoordinated, badly building people. He was never good in draft/ranked/etc.

Even Lassiz, the most infamous Loki player in all the pro scene, admits he'll never play him at high rank or in tournaments, even once in a blue moon.

I hope you mean was, since in last tournament and high ranked play he (along with He Bo!) was banned. Lass even sometimes plays him during tournament.

But he's played a lot in solo lane. Mostly by EU players I've noticed (Enqu, Gamehunter).

Anubis is one of the most powerful during the laning phase. He's easy to gank though and he's pretty bad during teamfights since he is staionary during Plague of Locusts and Death Gaze.


anubis ult can be soo OP sometimes try a full buld ult on titan (no towers or phoenixes left) and you bring a titan too at least 50% less HP then in the start.

Wait, I noticed something why in Tournaments I started watching recently they been calling Hebo "HobWha".

Why did they go from calling him Hebo to Hobwha, I will never call him Hobwha he is Hebo 4Life!

Cuz that's his real name. Why do you think he says it like ha bwa when you select him?

They call him that because they got a LOT of complaints about people who believe in those dieties/are from those areas. Since it's actually pronounced Huhbwah, not hee-boe, they agreed to call it that.

You would assume someone making a game would understand how to pronounce something before sticking it in the game.....

Maybe its because things have changed since I been gone since I have not kept up with all the patch notes but I have noticed that some of the more popular gods are supposedly less popular now? I do not understand it based on how popular they were before.

For example :
Agni is ranked #30 and Anubis is ranked #15
- How the heck is Anubis more popular than Agni now? I thought that people used to love to say that Anubis sucks and that Agni is the pro god, why is Anubis double as popular over Agni now?

Hercules is ranked #9 in terms of popularity ? What ? How is this even possible ? Hercules was no were near close to that high in terms of popularity and now he is in the top 10?

* ACTUALLY WAIT A MINUTE *

I was looking at Tiermonster's chart and just noticed that even though Anubis is ranked #15 and Agni is ranked #30 that it shows Agni has been played more yet he is less popular????

Are they updating to see who is popular every few months or are they counting all time played?
Because if they are counting all time played it says Agni is played more yet he is ranked #30 when Anubis has been played less? I am guessing they are updating it by a certain time period?

Recently checked that list. It really makes no sense, Bastet is #30 on popularity with 116k games while Ares is #19 with only 100k games.

Popularity isn't really...necessary? I think? God are being surprisingly played across the board with a few exceptions, but I don't find it that big of a deal. Maybe it's just me.
