Anyone who says Loki is overpowered has never been near or watched the competitive scene. His only escapes are his only damage. If he initiates on you, you kill him, plain and simple.
If you're referring to solo lane with Decoy, it doesn't even one shot the minions, and it's at the expense of losing pretty much all your damage.


I'm sorry, what? Loki might not be overpowered, but he was starting to become a force. He was starting to get banned. You can't "just kill him", because if he initiates on you he is going to deal a truckload of damage. In a 1v1 situation against a squishy that has already taken some prior damage he is incredibly lethal. It's not as easy for him to go in against an entire team, but he could ult in, kill a squishy and combat blink out before dying if he was in capable hands. He was actually pretty powerful. Especially as his Decoy, contrary to your statement, actually did oneshot minions. At lvl 4 it killed the entire wave barring big minions.

The reason I'm speaking in past tense here is that I'm not too sure how goo he is after his nerf this patch. Will have to test a bit to see if he still works or if this has hit him hard.

Finally, someone who gets it!

Don't forget 1st level meditation is also pretty decent on him. A Loki with cooldown items consumes a lot of mana, and the heal isn't bad, either. That solves the mana problem.

The new meta seems to be farming Heartseeker stacks with Decoy. And sadly, its pretty effective.

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.
