I wasn't going to make a thread on this but I just have too.
I wasn't going to make this thread because I already gave you guys so much lovely content and I already was talking about match making, but since I want to talk about Herc I just have to bring it up.

Okay who here thinks Hercules is OP? Or do you not care and think he is fine.
Man I was laughing at hebo's OP 1 but I was starting to get that OP feel when playing herc because I haven't played him since his new patch with his stun.

Well first off I would like to say that, match matching is very fair I mean just look at my team kills total vs them :) I mean god I am really lucky that I pick Hercules because I would have probably went negative too. Usually when my team feeds this bad I just get stomped as well because I can't catch up. But I posted this because of Hercules.

Now if you see sobek is 0-12 and everyone on my team fed like hell.
Well on any other god I would have probably got my face pwned off from all the feeding.
Now only pos went negative by 1 kill on their team.

But I want to know what makes hercules more strong to you HIS DIVING STRIKE STUN or HIS HEAL.

I felt like a true god this match because of one reason alone.
I literally would press VEL and laugh at pos as he attacks me with all his skills.
I purposely walked in his whirl pool and just laughed as I got all my HP back.
I then purposely let my hp get low smash him over his head with my rock then heal back up by going into his tower then running out of it to heal hp :) Cheap tactic

But There was at least 2 times where I was taking on a 1v4 and not dying, I would make it out with bare hp. What I had to laugh at is baksura not only ganked me but used his ult and so did pos and I KILLED BOTH OF THEM! Baka got me super low like 20 hp and I out basic damaged him because of my passive, pos came up to me and I did massive damage with my diving strike on low hp and he died.

So do you think hercules is OP? Is it his diving strike stun or his Heal.
What makes it funnier is I tried out deaths toll this match for giggles on him.

BRING ME GOLD HERCULES I MIGHT HAVE TO USE HIS OP ***!!! Like I said with any other god I would have went negative with if my team fed that bad. Also find it funny how the hercules is carrying over a hebo .

There are much better candidates in Smite for who is OP. Hercules can still easily be killed before he actually starts healing, and his Driving Strike has piss poor range. He's all in or nothing.

i don't think he is OP but i do think that that healing skill is to strong. its literely a zoning tool now.

i don't think the stun is bad but it's kind of how hirez has started buffing gods.

add a stun.

never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.

hah add a stun = fix everything just ask thor he has the best stun!

You know what maybe its because ONCE YOU ARE ABLE TO LAND 2's with Hercules you are now a monster with him unlike before if you have trouble using his 2. I guess I just got used to his timing and I do diff techniques with his 2.

For example I will swing his 2, I make it look like I'm looking right then I will swing it left so I catch someone off guard and pull them back. His diving strike can be good or bad, its like Anhur's impale, if you use it wrong you can push them further away or out of ults and piss team mates off. I guess the same goes with his 2 you need to know when to use it other wise you will just bring them closer to a dead team mate.

Positioning is pretty big too

Another thing I noticed as herc is TO NOT RUN WITH YOUR BACK TURNED unless you really really need to. People like loki will just pound your back away (that sounds ewww) if you keep running, so I will turn around and walk backwards. It seems that they think since I am now looking at them that I will use skills on them so they usually back off and I usually swing while walking backwards so I can run and attack.

I don't think his heal is that OP or OP at any level under 4 which means all levels under 5. Its not until level 5 that he can get more hp than you dish out to him. But you can still burst him down quickly. But I make it more cheap buy using hp pots while using my heal :)

Another cheap tactic when on low hp, purposely take damage, for example purposely take like 3 hits from their tower when you activate your 3 to get 20% extra hp back when you have it ranked at level 5.

There is a few jobs I do.
#1 Stop the enemy from hitting my team mates/soak up damage with my heal
#2 pull people out of the fight
#3 push people into my tower/team mates/or away from team mates
#5 ult your entire team
#6 BLOCK YOUR FARM

I would say take advantage of hercules at low levels because he will start to pwn you if you get him fed to where he can build some defense and attack power.

But in this match I just got done playing I only had 1 defense item and still seemed to have enough defense to survive what I needed to do.

Last thing : I tried hercules as a tank and its not as good as more damage and some defense. Tanky doesn't allow you to clear waves/buffs/do damage other than your ult.

I find that you have to play hercules like a weird version of loki. Its almost like your loki BUT YOU WANT TO BE SEEN. You have to know when to attack and when not to. In one aspect you can take alot of damage when you time your 3 right and attack KNOWING HOW MUCH DAMAGE YOUR ABOUT TO TAKE IN WHAT AMOUNT OF TIME, but in other moments you will just get burst down.

I noticed when I build tank I don't do very well, I noticed when I go more AD I go much more positive, IDK might be my playstyle.
