God Reveal- Poseidon, God of the Oceans

New god is out. This time, it's the long awaited Poseidon! Play Video Passive: Changing Tides
Poseidon gains movement speed and his abilities do damage everytime a basic attack lands.

Tidal Surge
Poseidon summons a skillshot that damages all Gods and knocks them back.

Trident
His basic attacks fire two more shots and he gains increased movement speed.

Whirlpool (Pokemon Gold and Silver anyone?)
Poseidon summons a whirlpool that sucks in all enemies into the center and deals damage. (Think Enigma ultimate from Dota)

Ultimate: RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
This ability isn't as fun as it sounds :(
Poseidon summons the Kraken at targetted area, dealing damage. Enemies in the center are stunned, while enemies around the perimeter are slowed. (Think Leona from LoL)

he looks like great fun

epic man thx

Nice prediction Blaze!

So basically they are pushing out a new god every week now?
Thats what I call force push, also isn't Tidal Surge just a recolor of crushing wave?

His ultimate is hilarious tho.
Gotta love the interwebz.

thx ^^

I think for his 1, they just resized Hebo's ultimate model and made it a pushback.

Thanks for posting! I put this in the news. I'll make sure to keep my eye out for his icons etc so I can put him in the database!

thnx for posting, this will be a really cool god =D

Possible Patch Notes:

Match-Making
[NOT FINAL] A new option has been added that allows players to choose to only receive matches for their preferred region. This may lead to longer wait times and/or less evenly matched games. Note that this feature will work only for the Casual Arena, Conquest, Domination and MOTD queues at this time (support for additional queues should be added soon).
[NOT FINAL] The timers have been removed from the queues on the Casual menu, and a new algorithm has been implemented. Note that we may revert back to the timed queues if this experiment is unsuccessful.
The Novice Conquest Queue has been removed and re-merged with the regular Conquest Queue.
Domination Changes
The following modifications have been made to the Domination game mode. Many of these changes were made based on Community suggestion:
If minions make it to their goal and are removed from the map, they will heal 3% of the maximum health of any friendly Sand Guardian in their lane.
Sand Guardians take only half damage if they do not have a current target to prevents player AOE chipping. Minions count as a target.
The respawn time of Sand Guardians is accelerated for each friendly standing in the radius.
The Point Capture radius has been increased to cover the entire water area around the capture point. If you are on the water or inside it, you will be on the point.
General:
Players in teams of up to 3 players may now join the “Practice Arena” on the Practice tab of the PLAY menu. You will be pitted against 3 bot enemies in this Arena format gamemode. If you join solo or in a party of two, the rest of your side will be filled with friendly bots to compete on your side.
The GUIDES menu has been significantly upgraded. In addition to having better visual presentation of videos and website links, the Guides area now includes a “Character Builder” that allows users to configure different Item and Ability builds on a god and then view the stats for that god for that build. The current Character Builder is an early rendition and further improvements are expected in future patches (including the re-introduction of the Video Guides and Website Guides, which have been temporarily removed)..
Changes have been made to the target indicator when in Instant Casting mode. The bar now shows “tick marks” at different lengths, making it easier for you to learn at what distance certain abilities on gods will fire.
On Challenge Match creation, there is now a “Random Pick” option under “God Picking Method.”
Minor visual adjustments have been made to the Item tooltips.
Several bugs with deserter status have been fixed.
Made a variety of sound priority changes, which should better ensure that the more important audio cues play during busy gameplay.
Dead minions now sink into the ground when their bodies clean up.
Wards now have better visual indicators of friendly versus enemy.
The Tutorial has had an artistic makeover to better fit with the art style in the new Conquest map.
When lane minions die, they will play a variety of different kinds of deaths depending on the god ability that killed them.
The trees in the Conquest map have undergone visual adjustments.
Fixed a bug in which users would not be able to use the Free Rotating Gods in some instances.
You can now view the profile/stats of persons that have requested to be your Friend on the FRIENDS tab under the SOCIAL menu.
Stealthed players should no longer be revealed outside of the base interior.
Spectator Changes
Added a Spectator Options tab in the settings menu including the following:
Ability to rename the Red Team and Blue Team. There is now an overlay with the team names beneath the in-game scoreboard and team messages will use the customized team names.
Ability to toggle visibility for numbers representing gold, damage, healing, XP, and critical hits.
You can toggle a team-colored outline around gods to better see team membership.
Ability to remap spectator keybindings.
Fixed an issue where players on the red team were having their nameplates invisible when they were not in line-of-sight to the spectator.
When Loki is stealthed and on the red team, his character mesh is now visible to the spectator.
In-game clock on the scoreboard now is synchronized with the playback clock.
Fixed an issue where the game could crash when spectating Neith.
Clicking the end-match time on the playback bar will hide the time. This is useful for spectators who want to keep the end-match time unspoiled.
