I hate his damage, but most of all, **** his cripple! Seriously, I lose count at 3 seconds everytime, when I either beads to run or die from his 876895135346236 Shackles damage.

You sir get a sticker. That K/D is amazing even for a regular Ares player like me. Ares is a special case of Guardians as he can be deadlier as a bruiser then a tank (Similar to Hades or Ymir).

Guys calm down, just because Ares has good early game kill potential doesn't mean he is broken. If you can avoid the Shackles then you are fine. Beating him requires you to be prudent, don't just go charging into lane, you will die. Just wait till late game and he is pretty much useless.

Who said he's broken, I'm just annoyed by his never-ending cripple, not asking for an Ares nerf.... but if I would, I would give him some real guardian cc and reduce the damage from Shackles.

Toast is right. It's all about juking the shackles. If you juke them, his kill potential is significantly reduced.
Thanks to Ferrum for making the sig pic! He's beast af people.

I did. And in my experience he is. I also don't play Conquest unless First Win gem events are on (and even then sometimes I skip out because it isn't worth it) so I can't comment on his power in that particular mode. I do play lots of arena however and can tell you in no uncertain terms that all but the most brain-dead of Ares players can 1v5 a team, get a triple, and force the other two to retreat because they're too low to even consider taking him on.

"Just dodge his Shackles"

No ****!
I'm not saying that he is broken because his Shackles are unavoidable, he is broken because if he manages to hit you with three in a row (which is NOT hard after landing the first one) he dos OVER 1000 DAMAGE.

I'm not exaggerating:
At level 5 Shackles dose 105 damage + 15% of his magical power per tick and lasts for up to 4 seconds. He can fire a total of 3 Shackles so 3 * 4 = 12

12 * 105 = 1260 base damage!

and that's not even counting the +180% of your magical power (because each tick dose 15% of his magical power as damage, so: 15 * 12 = 180) it also dose!

They gave a Guardian a NORMAL skill that dose more damage then I'm a Monster, Crushing Wave and Shards of Ice!


HOW IS THAT BALANCED?!?!


He has been needing a rework for so long, but no! Hi-rez needs too release gods as often as possible! Completely ignoring the many gods that desperately needs their help!

I pray for the day when they will learn that: Quality > Quantity

true they should put more focus in balancing instead of realising a god twice a month (with a low pool this is possible but not anymore) if you ask me they should also stop making so much skins as they spend more time on those too then balancing certain things.

Ares is balanced. I don't agree with the way his kit was designed or how it works but it is balanced. Also nex, Ares does 25 damage per tick at level 5 :P.

The reason why he is able to do so much is because a lot of his kit is hit or miss. And if he does miss, he's usually dead (if your team is smart). All it takes is for him to miss 1 chain and all his DPS is lost. I suggest to just keep in mind when is chains are down and then you don't need to fear an Ares outside of his ultimate. His chains also have a very long cool down so it isn't up to spam spam spam. An Ares will probably build CDR for the utility on his ult so keep in mind of cooldowns.

His passive should give him protections instead of power, that's how I would change him at a start.

Wait didn't you guys called Ares a piece of trash and that he should be reworked as a Warrior?

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.
