BluePenguinz: My prob with Neith is that she can do pretty much everything Artemis can, only better. An easy-to-use stun that's way more versatile, a area damage that gives incredible sustain, a ridiculous escape that also slows (and hits in a cone, the most idiotproof design), and a powerful root that can deal double damage.

I've played Neith, and she may have a skill ceiling, but she also has a high skill floor. She's not very difficult to get the grasp of, unlike Artemis. And she deals more damage than Artemis, which is simply unfair.

Toonah: I don't really like how they (balance team) justify bursting power with squishiness. It doesn't matter how squishy you are if you kill the other guy in two hits.

Again, this is the problem with Art. She can deal great, consistent damage late game, that STILL won't compete with other gods, since in the few seconds it takes for them to activate all of their kills, Art won't have enough time to fire enough shots. Mages are broken, IMO.

HiFromBuddha: I think I find him a bit underwhelming, compared to the "flashier" Tyr, Fenrir, and Herc.

All4Games: ...you have got to be kidding me.

DarkJaw: Yup. Pos can lock down an entire team with his Whirpool. Chronos can deal ridiculous damage with his passive III + Rod of Tahuti.

I think a problem with game design is how they justify steady damage vs burst damage. Ra has lowered damage compared to, say, Chronos or Poseidon. Chronos and Poseidon can deal absurd damage in a few seconds, while Ra is more along the "slow and steady" path.

This is a trend among the newer gods. The early gods had more focus on steady repeated damage, while the new ones, even bruisers like Tyr or carries like Neith, focus on dealing insane burst. The ones without burst, like Chang'e or Hercules, have turned into CC machines.

Compare that to Anubis. He is an early god who bursts, but he has the incredible downside of having no escape and being incredibly squishy. He's pretty balanced, or at least not too unbalanced. Tyr can burst, but has the benefit of two escapes and high mobility.

(I also think its disgusting how Artemis has the lowest HP AND base damage in the game.)

Nope, Hel has the lowest level 0 HP stat but Anubis has the lowest scaling making him the lowest health at level 20

Oh, you're right. Hel has 345 base + 67 per level, and Anubis has 350 base + 66 per level.

Loki is not OP... he has a high skill cap to play "Correctly" any god in the game can 1 v 1 him if he misses an ability and he has no escapes, if he blows his load to kill someone. My advice by an aegis... learn to "Think" about avenues of approach and target where he will be coming. And learn to zone. I am an avid Loki player and any other player that has "ANY" skill in this game can provide some challenge for me to kill. But LIKE ALL GODS if he gets fed he is a handful.

So you're saying that loki isn't op because when he has no cds, isn't fed, and misses his attacks he is easy to 1v1? Think about that for a second. I'm not saying Loki is easy to play, but that doesn't mean he can't be overpowered. And the problem with loki is that while he might have a high skill cap, his floor is extremely high as well. More so than any other god in the game, more or less.

BUY Aegis build to counter Loki GG. You build to counter other gods i don't understand the QQ about Loki. explain to me why you would build to counter an XBAL or a Hades but not a Loki... Headphones (Then you can hear him coming) and aegis if he jumps to u.. i play against other Loki's all the time and always come out on top b/c i understand the mechanics of the character.

The funny thing when i fought Loki is that i was playing with Neith. I heard him using Vanish, i waited a bit and then backflip and use my Spirit Arrow combo and make him rooted. Then he just standing there without anything he could do.
