Xbal is awesome, but his ultimate is not OP.


If you make a team of 5 and xbalanque gets focus carried, his ult can easiliy cost enemys, not only on your lane, but also on other lanes their life.
Usually people will use the ult when they chase down an enemy, means that he has 2 options, either run away and get stunned, or stop running for 1 second, which can cost him his life too.
The whole fact that it's global just makes it too strong.

This hero is ridiculous.

I'm going to be honest here for a moment, I'm not great at smite. In fact, I'd say I'm occasionally good but in general I'm a pretty bad player. So if I can go 10-0 with a hero, there is something VERY wrong.

Just went 18-1 with him.
I think its not only, because matchmaking is broken, no. If you build Xbalanque on focus he is unbeatable..

Even with a substantial nerf, the way his 1 ricochets is going to make him a very dangerous opponent no matter what.

His whole kit just seems incredibly powerful. He can effectively farm, kill gods, sustain, escape, chase. He's not a jack of all trades, he is a master of them.

Luckily in solo games his ult isn't as effective due to lack of coordination but a well coordinated team via Skype/Teamspeak etc. could easily abuse its power.

Wonder when they'll hit the nerf button?

What can you really do though? The only way to have a chance against him is to buff up your physical defense like crazy, but then the enemy mages are going to end up wrecking you.

Anhur is definitely more dangerous for serious bursts and cc, and has a much better escape.

However I understand how everyone feels about Xbal. His kit is extremely powerful if used methodically and strategically. He doesn't have the physical burst that Artemis or Anhur have vs single targets but can more effectively handle multiple gods. I'm not saying that he isn't good 1v1 but against some of his ranged physical counterparts he is not able to keep up with their dps in a quick fight.

Used correctly, his ultimate is the reason why he is a viable option in comparison with the aforementioned gods. His ult is OP, but he is not overall. In other words, I don't think he needs to be nerfed.

All global ults are going to be inherently OP or else it would be a fail ult and consequently a fail god. It'll be really interesting to see the next global they release and how OP it could be in conjunction with Xbal's.

Well I have not played smite that much but when a god bursts you down with just his ult something is wrong...An ult should be op I agree with that but in this game I just played he used his ult on me that was playing Aphrodite and my soulmate^^ Kali and well Kali had lost abit of health but not much and I had full health...one shoot kill...something wrong with that picture? The game had just even started we had barely got any items he just got his ult at lvl 5 and then one shooted us. I think an ult should be op but his should be nerfed.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
