Hello, I'm dacoqrs (duh) and I'm doing a forum article on True and Nontrue passives

Let me start by defining those words.

True Passive: A passive that provides a unique benefit that does not activate off of his abilities, or basically isn't directly linked to one or more of his abilities.

Nontrue Passive A passive that is linked to a god's abilities.

In theory, passives should ideally be true passives, because they are truly passive, and give god's a unique benefit that could possibly encourage unique item builds and playstyles. In addition, Nontrue passives could usually just be worked into an ability (ex. Chronos)

This is not a measure of balance. Just because a god has a true passive does not mean it's balanced, and vice versa.

This is not a measure of how unique or creative a passive is. Chronos' passive is very unique, for example, but could easily be tied into the ability that activates Wheel of Time, Accelerate.

Without futher wait, here are my lists.

True
Ao Kuang
Apollo
Arachne
Ares
Artemis
Athena
Bacchus
Bakasura
Cabrakan
Chaac
Chang'e
Freya
Geb
He Bo
Hercules
Eset
Kali
Kumbhakarna
Loki
Mercury
Ne Zha
Nemesis
Nu Wa
Odin
Osiris
Ra
Sobek
Sun Wukong
Thor
Tyr
Vamana (the protection - power conversion)
Vulcan
Xbalanque
Ymir
Zeus


Nontrue
Ah Muzen Cab
Aphrodite
Bastet
Chronos
Guan Yu
Hel
Hun Batz
Janus
Ullr
Vamana (The part with his ult)
Zhong Kui

Debated (I will explain why it is debatable)
Agni (Passive 'activates' on use of abilities)
Anhur (Passive could be applied to a specific ability)
Anubis (Passive affects abilities)
Cupid (Passive affects abilities)
Fenrir (Passive affects abilities)
Hades (Passive affects abilities)
Neith (Abilities create broken weaves and abilities are affected by them)
Poseidon (Passive is changed by abilities, and abilities are changed by passive)
Rama (Passive affects and are used by abilities)
Serqet (Abilities build up passive on enemies, sorta)
Scylla (Passive affects abilities)
Thanatos (Okay, he has like 3 ****ing passives, I'll just put him in debated)

If you need any further clarification, please ask, and I hope I have enlightened you, and perhaps given you hardcore balance discussers something to think about when you see a god with a nontrue passive :)
Thanks to Ferrum for making the sig pic! He's beast af people.

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.
