Loki has strengths and weaknesses, blah blah blah. Annoying part: He is impossible to counter when he can cut you up like a sushi roll before you can react.

Simple: Make his Vanish begin to leave a trail at the last 1.5 seconds. That gives less time for Loki, makes him a bit less impossible to counter, but doesn't modify his damage or anything like that.

If I am going to die from a cheap two-hit kill that takes little skill, then I'd like to at least see it coming. What say you?

beads aegis the moment he ults you can beads out and aegis it will nullify his 3. also put your sound on because he is very very loud and you can predict him easy.

loki needs a bit of a damage nerf on his ult and maybe his dot but he is counterable. most gods have some form of cc that can reveal him from his stealth and he is dead the moment he is cc'd.

he is very counterable.
never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.

Three thing they should do:

Remove the bleed from Vanish and replace it with something else (I'm thinking a physical protection de-buff) he is already one of the best chaser in the game, giving him the power to damage and even kill someone even though they already got away is way to good.

I also think they should make it so he can't use Assassinate when he is clocked by Vanish. He can recover a ridicules distance if he combined theses two and if you don't hear him clock THERE IS NO WAY TO SEE HIM COMEING. If he combines the two to get away THERE IS NO WAY TO CHASE HIM.

Secondly make towers ignore Decoys (might be added with next path since Sun Wukong is rumored to also have a type of decoy), (almost) risk free tower driving is stupid.

Loki is fine :P

If you get killed by a Loki, you should not have been where you was, plain and simple.

Counters to Loki:

Wards, unless Loki uses Vanish at GF/FG and pops Sprint you are going to see him before he ganks.

Aegis Amulet, takes good reaction time ofc. but it is no problem to aegis Assassinate.

Any type of cc stuns, silence, fear, roots, slows, you name it.

Group up, Loki can't do **** when you are grouped up. All he can do is wait for his team to win a 4v5 fight then secure the kills that are left. Sacrifice himself by using Assassinate to stun a target and give the team a "free" kill (and unless the enemy team is garbage he will get cced and killed with like 2 abilities. Try to go inn with Vanish and hope he doesn't get focused and saving Assassinate just in chase.


So yeah, IMO Loki is probably the easiest god to counter in the game. The only problem is if he gets fed early game, that will make the mid game (when you are still kind of laning) really difficult for mid and solo lane. But Wards will keep you safe if you got some map awareness :P

If Loki clocks and you don't hear it and then successfully predict Assassinate with Aegis Amulet you deserve to be added to Smite as a god, because there is no way a mortal can see it coming.


Warning! Incoming rage, read at own risk

ALSO CAN PEPOLE STOP WITH THE GOD DAM HARD CC KILLS X GOD ********, IM SO SICK OF IT WHAT GOD IS NOT COUNTERED BY HARD CC? EVEN THE TANKESEST YMIR OR BACCHUS CAN'T DO ANYTHING IF THEY CAN'T MOVE/USE A SKILL.

End of rage

Edit: Wow I think that's the first time I legit raged at something somebody typed in this forum (Don't feel bad BestMinionEver, I have been holding down that rage for quite sometime. You where just the last spark that lit the fuse)

Crowd Control and knowing how to position yourself is what counters Loki, and pretty much any Assassins for that matter. A few examples of strong counters for him in Conquest would be Chronos, Anubis and Freya. I have killed countless of Loki's with these three. All you need to do is hit him with your Crowd Control ability right after he uses Assassinate, and then go nuts on him.

But on some unfortunate gods, or if Loki gets fed, you just can't do ANYTHING.

I was Artemis, solo lane, and I saw and heard Loki coming. I was under the tower when he cast Decoy and hit me from behind. I died in three hits, stunned him with the bear post-mortem, and died.

A few minutes later, he came back, but this time he just simply ulted me on the spot. I popped my boar as soon as I was able, only for him to Rage ****ING VANISH [/rage] and run away.

He proceeded to repeat this all match, forcing me to recall as I simply couldn't do anything. I ended up underleveled and we lost.

My point being: What could I have done? I was under my tower, surrounded by wards, ultimate at the ready. I don't think I could've been better positioned or prepared. I even bought Purification Beads, which was useless as I couldn't move fast enough to get out of his melee range once he teleported.

On the other hand, I did kill him once by popping my boar at the exact same moment he used his ult. Result: Loki trapped for 4.3 seconds under the tower. That was the only good thing to come out of that match.


Sane Post:

I think a good idea would be if Towers ignored stealth and decoys. Bam, Loki can no longer tower dive without penalty. Simple, easy, and I think it's quite reasonable.

To put it bluntly, if you don't have anything to say related to the topic, then don't post.
