I can confirm it is worthless on ADCs. And probably for everyone else. Went Anhur in Arena, it literally did nothing. Either gods were too far apart for it to chain, or it was a duel. If it dealt ANY damage at all, it was literally unnoticeable.

Of course, the ****ing 1% hit chance may have done something. RNG OP

Just had a game as Anubis mid, versus Ao mid and Arachne jungle. I died a lot early game thanks to Arachne ganking me, but honestly, I was screwed anyway as a god with zero escapes against a god countered by escapes.

But my point is, around late game, I started stomping her like a (drumroll) like a bug.

Like, she couldn't get close to me at ALL. I didn't even have to stun her, I could just kite her around Grasping Hands or just get into a DPS race. Three autoattacks versus Grasping Hands and Plague of Locusts, and maybe a stun, ended up with me winning.

She couldn't use her ult on me, either - pretty much instant death via his 2-3-4 combo. Anubis, the god of faceroll, OP.

Maybe it was their team or something, but I started beating Arachne in damage from behind around mid game, and I started actively hunting her for free kills. It was that bad. I wasn't snowballing or anything, I just gained the ability to clear a wave without making myself completely exposed, so I could focus on counterjungling.

Seriously, I don't get why people say she's OP. I was pretty much a perfect target; no escape, low mobility, no way to avoid her basics - and yet, she was pretty damn easy to kill. I'm going to guess that another god like Aphro, Pos, Isis, etc, are going to have an even easier time against her. Especially Scylla and Agni.

She's not op, she's an easy god to use now. And yeah, I had a good time Agni mid lane against an Arachne jungle and kuku mid.

Also what do you max on Arachne? Many people max her 3 but I disagree. While jungling put your first point in Broodlings, yes but start maxing your 1. The health and damage is great. Then max your 3 then 2. That is debateable incase you want a longer stun.

The way Arachne was designed that her stun will be needed to finish off her opponent. 3 basic attacks? Lategame that will take away most of an opponents hp and will kill.

I always max my 1 first, it's healing and DoT is actually very good.
Then I leveled my 2, but that's just because I didn't know and didn't care what I leveled second.

I'm just going to let this patch play out. I feel like it's the classic "I had a single initial experience, what I say is law" thing going on. I'd rather see a lot of encounters over, say, a week or two and see how opinions are then. People aren't used to the new items and gods, and people aren't used to facing them or countering them, and that leads to a skew in both directions.

I guess this is true.
I really like her though, she feels different than other assassins...

I kinda wish they had just grabbed the passive of Spectre when they grabbed her trail effect instead of the damage on missing health thing. Bonus damage on a lone target would be really good fro what I see arach doing, maybe i'm wrong.

I've played arachne a few times and done okay with her. The problem I find is that its hard to catch up to people since your 3 has such a long cooldown but I guess sprint would fix that. I played a game against an enemy arachne and she wrecked us especailly her early game broodlings.
