This item is a requirement on way too many roles.

I tried to keep what the effect was intended for, executing bosses, and jungle camps.

New effect: One minion in a 10-foot radius (within 20 feet) takes 540 true damage. If multiple minions are in the radius, it selects the one at highest health. Cooldown: 45 seconds.

Ranked effects: Instakill at 10%, 25%, etc. Fist of the Gods is unchanged.

That's right, only ONE minion is affected. So it's practically useless for pushing. The best you can do with it is kill one of the large minions in lane, but that's just take XP away from your hunter.

XP is shared, firstly.

Anyway, not a bad idea. I like this.

Yay!

I admit the idea was taken from Smite in League, but they've pretty much perfected the MOBA there. Or at the very least, it's a hell of a lot better than certain aspects of Smite.

Should Fist deal a longer stun duration to a single target and be slightly "ranged" like the reworked Hand, or should it have the same stun but potentially affect multiple targets?

Alternatively, what would it be like if it were removed entirely?

Many people have suggested it work on only one minion for a long time, but HiRez for some reason is adamant on keeping it as an AoE kill-all-minions skill.

I think the big reason they refuse to change it is solo viability. Most warriors cannot compare to mages in terms of pushing power, and they often need Hand of the Gods to not lose gold to their tower.

The question is, how do we make it balanced for solos without it being too good for the duo lane?
Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

Make pushing worse, so pushers have less of an advantage.

Mid lane will be the push lane, while the sides won't. This will make solo and mid lanes less like a duplicate of each other.

How? Make the side lanes bigger. Remember that round map, compared to the blocky one we have now? That would make pushing quite dangerous.

I think I missed something, but I think this would be a good change.

That is actually not a bad idea!

Then it will basically be for the tank/support to secure GF and FG and for the jungler to help clear and give that extra CC when finished into FOG.

Makes a big change to the solo lane and what viable there :)


FOG is good IMO, when it had a longer stun it was just OP as ****. And even if you make it longer and single target it is still a 100% kill on a adc/mage etc. for a jungler.

Jungle & Support main.

Casually tryharding ranked now and again.


Make fun of my bad plays on Twitch ;)

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.
