There's something I find UNACCEPTABLE about "New Wa"'s ultimate

Okay people, I'm pretty pissed about New Wa's ultimate.

Not because it's boring, not because her old ult was blah blah blah, not for any of the usual reasons.

One of the main reasons I play Smite is because EVERYTHING IS A SKILLSHOT.

Nu Wa's new ultimate completely defies that, instead, instantly hitting everybody.

If I wanted abilities like that, I would go play League of Legends. But I am one of the very few people on Smitefire that don't play LoL because I totally detest a MOBA where abilities "lock on" to their target.

What the hell. This ult wouldn't be so bad if it were like 's, where you have to click to shoot fire shards, no, it does all the work for you, and that's ********, because this is Smite, where everything is, supposed to be, a skillshot.

Completely unacceptable. Besides a few things, I was okay with the New Wa rework. And then I find out that her ult is basically a "Press 4, receive kill". LITERALLY.

I was even unhappy with Nem's ult when she was released, since it's impossible to miss (The ability won't activate until you select a god), but I am okay with it now, because I realize that the ability isn't shooting out a bolt of magic, or dashing toward them... it's 'selecting' a god, so that was okay.

This ult, on the other hand, is shooting out bolts of fire, which could easily have been turned into, "Nu Wa flies up into the sky, where she can shoot down fire shards at enemies. For every god within x feet, she gets 1 fire shard." This would make it so, A, it can't fling shards all the way across the entire map... and B, so she actually has to aim.

Very disappointing.

You've got to aim where do you want Nu Wa to dash, at least you've got to aim something, it's a bright side afterall.

On a more serious note, I do see your point, but I don't find it "UNNACEPTABLE", it works well with the game and players are enjoying it. I for one am fine with it, it has a high cooldown, low damage and I don't recall getting killed by it yet (killed a Nu Wa with instead, funny one).

Aaaaand here comes the rage, as predicted.

Though this wouldn't be the first time a god has gotten a lock-on or fire-and-forget type of ultimate. blinds everyone, and also stuns if they're still moving when the sixth panel of the clock appears. 's ultimate has been inducing rage for a long time, as there's no avoiding it in Conquest unless you're lucky enough to be near allies when she tries to finish you off.

The only difference here is that on top of being a really lazy redesign, there's no catch to avoiding the effects of Not Wa's ult outside of "have healing or damage immunity".

Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

THe only thing i don't accept to is her minions dashes to you which is OP for me, since minions are really important on the game and provide extra damage and HP to you, and she will just get full advantage of her passive since the minions will bodyblock you, it's pretty unfair for me... Minions dashes? Are you ****ing Kidding Me?

Only will pass that minion!

For me it is the stun, not only can it hit 3 times but it reduces magic defense andleave you wide open for a finisher

I'm not trying to rage... but I am, aren't I?

Xbal's is okay because, you know, it's supposed to disrupt the enemy team... it's effects aren't damaging your god's health, or anything like that.

Neith's is weird, but some gods have ways to counter her ult, and are just two.

Nu Wa has zero counters when it comes to her ult. You basically are just forced to swallow a butt ton of damage (It's a small number for an ult, but it hits all enemies and there's no way to dodge it, block it, etc.)

I don't really get why they gave New Wa that ultimate, it doesn't fit with her kit in any way what so ever. Its like they couldn't come up with one so they just went "**** it, lets just give her a Karthus ultimate"

That's right, something's wrong with that ult, it's kinda game breaking since it's better
than

Think about it!

- can go sky high and shoot enemy gods and he might lose his
shots but he can't move in the air after his ult! So he lands in the
same place!

- can go sky high and hit all enemies and won't miss her shots
but she's not gonna land in the same place!

has only 1 counter and as far as I have heard 1 counter only and that's (off course) aegis (It's easy to time it but the cooldown on the ult is shorter -__-)

needs a serious nerf on her ult maybe change it to skill shot, not global shot. Since old has high win ratio i thought Hi rez will change her kit more balanced, well **** that, the old nu wa is kinda more balanced than this new Nu wa. Hi rez wants to make this game competitive while 98% of players aren't competitive...

Smite really lacks of balancing.

Since i won't be long with this game anymore, i'll just be enjoying Gigantic with UnknownPandr Even when i got home on my home country which will be available on asia.
