Don't listen to Subzero. Please. He's only on this website to turn people away from Smite.
 Hou Yi is a similar character to Gankplank.As for  Thor's ultimate, it's something that isn't terribly hard to juke. But the key to it, in my opinion, is noticing when he is in the air. If there's a Thor in the air, there is a droning sound you can hear. If you can hear it, just look up. When you spot him, look for a specific animation he does in the air as he is about to come down. You'll see what I'm saying. When you see it, that gives you the time to either manually juke it, or use other abilities to dodge it.

Gangplank has a global slow ult with minor damage, an autoattack enchancer that adds range, a instaheal/cleanse, and an attack/movespeed buff thingy, as well as a DoT passive. Hou Yi has an anticrit passive, a ranged "skillshot," a weird leap thing that's closer to Fizz's troll pole than anything else, especially considering Gangplank doesn't even have an escape, a debuff that acts as an execute + free pen, and a big damage AoE over time ult. Aside from the ults, they could not be more unalike. One's a ranged carry, the other's a melee bruiser. Do the math. #rekt As for Thor's ultimate, it is impossible to juke unless you see it coming, and the warning signs are few. One more reason why this game lacks counterplay. "Terribly hard to juke" is only if the Thor in question is terrible. Also, you should know that I played Smite ranked and reached gold. Dacoqrs is unranked, and I have a 100% win rate in ranked right now, and you can look it up on SmiteGuru if you don't believe me. When I make judgements on games, I make sure to KNOW the games.

Well I've always known it was coming from seeing him spin up. Following him up might not be a bad idea. |

Sub you don't play and are a complete pain in the ***. A good amount of people agree. Honestly you should just leave. You are useless in stimulating actual debate relative to in game subject matter and are therefore a useless member of the site. @userpay Subzero has not played consistently in ages... I don't play consistently because I don't like the game. However, that doesn't change how I'm good at it and can logically argue almost anyone in this site under the table, to mix metaphors. So, errors: - I do, in fact, play. - I am probably not a pain in the ***. In my own opinion, of course. Unless influencing a ton of members to leave this site qualifies, in which case I will cheerfully accept the title of "pain in the ***." - Agree? You mean, just you and Dacoqrs when it suits you? - Pfft, I've stimulated more debate in one thread than you have in your entire life on this site. Unlike some people, I don't flinch from presenting unpopular opinions, nor do I warp logic to suit my views. (*cough*Freyabanishwasastepintherightdirection*cough*) - I notice you didn't say "did not play." In fact, the best you can do is "can't play consistently." lol - How cute, you're trying to slander me. Look at my second-most recent post and tell me if that's subjective*. Like I said, you people warp logic to suit your views. Please, try not to commit ad hominem so often. Maybe if you didn't, people would take your opinion more seriously. Oh, and as a "thank you" for your charming attitude: http://smite.guru/stats/theangrytoast/ *slow clap* *  here

@Subzero:
I consider myself one of the more cordial members of this site, I like to help people out, give positive feedback on guides, have reasonable debates over topics, etc. But yo. DUDE. Going on Smitefire to tell people that Subzero008

just stick to LoL. (and yes I'm taking snippets of your speech but that is what you were saying after all) isn't leaving helpful advice, it's basically just telling people that Smite sucks, play LoL instead. If all you want to do is bash on Smite, go to the mobafire or DOTA forums, there are plenty of people there to agree with you. People on smitefire are supposed to be here because they're fans of Smite, and wish to talk about it amongst fellow smite fans, regardless of what other games they like as well. *Sigh* In regards to Thor, anyone with an escape can use  Purification Beads or Magi's Blessing if they get hit to not get CC chained to death. If you don't have an escape, you may wish to invest in some counter items like  Spirit Robe,  Reinforced Shoes /  Reinforced Greaves, or something like Purification Beads +  Combat Blink or Sprint if you're really suffering from it.
