Hades is a MAGICAL tank, and a very strange one. He is ranged via his basics, but everything else, including his abilities, requires him to be up-close to the enemy. Therefore he's not really TRUE ranged. He is ranged... but still up close. I don't know.

Let me put it into a yes/no awenser.

Is he a tank? Yes
Is he ranged? Yes

You said that their were no ranged tanks.
You can twist it in every way you want but that is what you said and this the awenser.

T'was not making a rebuttal, but rather a closer examination *removes glove, slaps across face* Plus, if you looked closely I said that there are no ranged PHYSICAL tanks.

Don't be pissy.

Pimp slap into submission*

T'wouldn't matter being pysical or not because thats your entire
Point.

First off all pysical tanks go bruiser.

This wat makes a bruiser a bruiser. Having skills that do A massive damage but are unable to basic attack while using them or B having a lot of substain and being able take damage while dishing it out them selfs.

Why not make a ranged one who in team fights stands in the front line trowing and getting few shots in before jumping in use large AoE skill using main damaging skill that will not let him use his basic attacks.

As far as im concerned you could have put pysical in that or not and it wouldn't change amy thing.

Hades is a ranged tank who's main damage skill locks him into in and does nit allow him to do any thing else.

If hirez would make him pysical then that would not change and work the same.

I made two points:

1. No ranged physical tanks.
2. Tanks are up-close.

As far as I'm concerned, that is still true.

Because there's no way to make a ranged tank. The only thing ranged would be the abilities. Hades isn't even really a tank, the only reason he's played as one is because his abilities are SO close range (melee), that he needs to be tanky to survive. He was originally a mage, hence his scaling on his Ultimate (does more damage than Anubis overall, I believe, at same MP).
Let's overview him
Ranged attack (fair enough)
Dash
Melee Fear (same range as Hun Batz)
Melee AOE
Melee Ultimate
This makes Hun Batz and Vamana, more ranged than hades, except for SOLELY basic attacks, which have no impact on tanking. Hence, Hades is a melee, magical tank.

It does not work if all your abilities are ranged, you will not be on the frontlines. And how would a ranged physical tank work? It'd end up as a carry, imo. If you want to form an idea, create a thread based on a new god as a ranged, physical tank, and provide the spells.

But at least this thread is prospering, much debate, yielding primarily more Carries, Physical Tanks, and Assassins.
Curious as to no votes for support though. We only really have hel, aphrodite, and 1/2 Chang'E/Ra

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.
