I'm actually kind of impressed at the changes to Arachne, and I love how they didn't remodel her. I love her current look so much.

Edit: actually, I'm pretty impressed with this patch in general. They made a lot of good moves here.

Yeah this seems like quite a large patch for there not to really be any god additions only reworks and the such. I'm looking forward to trying out the new Odin and Arachne and the new items.

I don't think this new Odin (Newdin?) will be any good.

His kit lacks synergy, and it's like, in their haste to make the shield not like a clone of Sion's, they messed up the mechanics.

I mean, when you use your one and two together, you deal a hefty amount of AoE damage, but you give up two abilities and your shield to do it. And all you have left if your Gungnir's Might, which deals **** damage now. He'll have a good amount of burst, but zero sustained damage due to him losing his buff and his steroid.

His kit also lacks synergy except for the one and two combo. His one and two fire instantly, so there is no need for him to slow enemies down. His three and four rely on sustained damage, but his entire combo is pure burst. Zero synergy.

Another reason why he's badly designed is how his shield will be completely worthless without the jump. People deal so much damage in this game that they will rip it apart in no time, making it deal weak or zero damage.

In comparison, the old Odin had decent burst, but his real strength was his ridiculous autoattack damage, combined with his ultimate's massive buffs. You could rip people apart with crits and lifesteal, which you could get unlike other bruisers thanks to the free stats you got.

tl;dr: His 1/2 combo is strong, but that is literally all he has going for him, which is why he will suck ***.

I'm also worried about how Arachne will gank. Her only gap closer is her ulimate, and it doesn't stun or slow people, and is presumably highly telegraphed. She's either going to be like Loki, where she pops out of invisibility and instabursts you down, or she's going to be an assassin who can't assassinate anyone and has zero range.

Also, Hercules did not need that nerf. He's overpowered because of his insane CC + damage + range, not because he's tanky as ****, although that is part of it.

He Bo is STILL instant ban material as long as his ultimate exists.

Artemis is now officially in the "ignore" bin, it seems. **** you too, HiRez.

New items are garbage except for the last, which is basically anti-Mercury and Kali and ADCs. Static Shiv clone can't crit, and it can't waveclear for ****, so it's roughly as useful as Golden Bow.

I think Ao will return in a calssic skin, like Hades.
The old model will become a skin of Kukulkan>
My opinion...

I'm confused as to why you continue to play smite; every patch you seem to lose more and more faith in the game and its developers, so why not put it aside for a while and play something else? If you don't enjoy it any more, why play it?

I don't main Smite anymore. I play mostly DAWNGATE and HEROES OF THE ****ING STORM. Also, Strife and League of ****ING Legends. I still play Smite because I need to keep up with the changes and all, and apparently I need to play and be good at the game to be taken seriously.

Isn't this kind of common sense? You can't go around saying "Oh this sucks" and "oh this god is overpowered" if you haven't even played them, can you?

Thanks to Ferrum for making the sig pic! He's beast af people.
