From Erez spoils: "New hel is being tested and balanced"


Last time I checked, cosmetic changes don't need to be balanced...


I think I'm going to go cry now.

Why cry? Hel has been broken for months now. This rework is exactly what she needed to become worth-while again. We'll most likely be seeing a lot more of her afterward.

I have become rather accustomed to her kit, and I almost exclusively play Arena (where she's honestly overpowered). Yeah, not looking forward to it.

They're likely going to:

1. Reduce her burst.
2. Give her a leap or a dash.
3. replace her cleanse (unlikely but possible)
4. Go the Tyr route and relocate her stance swap into one of the first three skills, giving it a high cooldown, and giving her a "real" ultimate.

Numbers one and four are the most likely, I think, and I really don't want them to happen.

We shall see. I suspect they'll do a much better job than THIS Hel.

They better not! I love my Hel :( Been playing her like crazy since she got into the free god rotation, and up until seeing this post I was quite sure I was gonna buy her... Now I think I'll wait and see what they do to her before I buy.

There are many other gods that need to be reworked more than Hel and have needed it for a longer time. Hel gets playing time in the pro ranks and seems quite effective in skillful hands but by no means overpowered. I wish they would spend time making gods such as Kali and Bastet competitive, to name two.

KrispyKritter, you obviously weren't there when she was buffed/debuffed every patch throughout months of patches. They have broken her. She cannot be fixed by normal means, and so she has to be reworked.

Plus, her model is honestly terrible.

A model change is all fine and dandy; it doesn't affect her playstyle.

What does matter is changing her kit. Yes, admittedly they could have implemented something better than shared cooldowns, but cooldown reduction caps out at 40% - she has the most fluid playstyle in the game because she has six spells on short cooldowns, and I really don't want to see that changing. I also don't want her to be redone as a pure support.

Sure, she has the highest skill floor in the game, but that doesn't mean she is broken, it just means she is difficult to succeed with her as a novice.

I like the current Hel a lot too , she has everything but a viable escape like dash or something . She has CC immune , heal , slow , high damage and low cooldowns . I just hope she won't get a nerf with this rework .

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.
