They made a video... for that skin?

And on top of that, why make it Limited Edition?

More idiocy!

EDIT: On the bright side, he DOES have nipples in that skin.

Cupid wasnt that less playd in the last days because of the Artemis nerf.

I mean Anhur was mostly firs picked, Neith have the lest damage scale in late game, Xbal the hughest damage scale but isnt very popular at all.

Still the nerf is stupid, i dont see the point in it. Guess Chaac (Tyr), Vamana, Herc and Odin gonna be now the mostly played solo laners.

As an exercise, I'm going to try to play the devil's advocate.

Cupid's early game was a tad too strong, so they nerfed his contributions?...

Guan Yu was too effective in general, so they nerfed his main damage/utility skill?...

Hercules was too weak, and he needed to snag more people in his Earthbreaker, and he needed quicker burst damage since it way too slow...

...I don't get it. Seriously, I don't get it.

To be fair, Guan Yu WAS very strong. He did need nerfs. I'm not sure they went about it the right way, but he was one of the most contested picks.

Hercules didn't need a buff, Cupid needed a tad early game nerf (he is actually the most aggressive laner if played right), but they went about it so wrongly. He needs buffs late game, not nerfs.

If anything, they needed to nerf his ultimate. Having a weirdly short cooldown and being able to stun and deal massive damage to 1-3 people for 1.5 seconds was a tad much.

I'm getting tired of god designs having insane ultimates but weak abilities. Guan better not turn into Chang'e 2.0.

Cupid's early game problem could have been solved by simply lowering his base power but keeping it the same at max level. Or maybe even increase it slightly. Not the insane bat**** **** they did.

And Hercules...my god, Hercules was already insanely strong, albeit with a high skill floor. Why are they suddenly treating skill floor/ceiling as a factor in balance?

I'm so mad about that Cupid nerf. On a full charged Heart Bomb he will now do 40 percent less damage total. Hmm.... Might as well use Neith who has the guaranteed ult stun... Thanks for making my baby useless. D:

There's still 408 + 216% contributions on Heart Bomb, but still...I'm not happy.

It's like they're trying to make all the gods with high skill floors have lower floors so beginners will pick them and then they're just "BECAUSE **** YOU"ing a lot of other gods at random.

And I really don't understand a lot of their choices on which skills to reduce post-hit delay on. Like, Ares Bolster Defenses? Why not do Shackles instead?

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.
