Hey guys, it will be short.
poseidon skill 3 (the pool that sucks you in), is probably the most op skill in the game, (excluding ultimate).
It does slow, it does suck you in, and... why not CRIPPLE?! why can't i do any skill, thats nonsense.
Enough the fact it does nice damage, moves you to center and gives you slow, but cripple like srsly.. should be able to do skills, its just way out of hands.

That's cause people use Gem of Isolation with Poseidon.
Without it, you can pretty easily just walk out.

It doesn't slow you AND pulls you in, technically. It only pulls you win which seems like a slow because when you try to get out it pulls you back and thus slows you. If they get Gem of Isolation, it will do both and then it becomes a real pain.

But, it's not OP. You can get out of it, dodge it, beads it. You can say the same thing about tornadoes. Sure, it doesn't exactly slow/cripples you, but one step in there is equal to the damage of Whirlpool if you stand in it all the time.

The thing is that once you're in the Whirlpool you're a pretty damn easy target. Tornadoes just rips you to shreds, but the pool can make you a sitting duck for every single ultimate from this world and the next one.

without gem of isolation its horrible.
See the difference is that skill 3 of ao kuang is his major and most important skill besides ultimate, ofc its suppose to be good, but then the pool is not poseidon's main skill (skill 1 is). and so thats just stupid to make it so OP, if he does that on you, any ultimate can hit you without you being able to do much at early game when you dont have many actives yet, The pull sucking you in + damage should be enough, cripple is too much.

Whirlpool is Poseidon's main skill, since he has a two skill clear.

Two skill clear that drains A LOT of his tide meter, if i might add.

I think Poseidon is a legend, he has been one of those gods since beta... The epic badass ones that wreck face while being pretty balanced.

Wait the pool pulls you in? I though it just slows xD
why does wukong look so much different now?

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.
