Different Playstyles, mostly

How so?

What's different about European play?

I think European Smite players tend to play more aggressively compared to American (N&S) or Asian players.

Actually they're more calculated and less heat of the moment like NA. So kinda breaks that atmosphere by bringing a ton of early game aggresion

Gods I'm hoping that'll get a buff

Kuku, Ratatoskr, Artemis, Guan Yu (small), Ah Muzen Cab (Higher movement speed), Sylvanus, Bacchus, Ne Zha, Chang'e, etc

Gods I'm hoping that'll be fixed

Ratatoskr, Thanatos, Xing Tian, Nu Wa, Ares, Janus, & Fenrir (If y'all ask what's wrong with them feel free to ask & I'll tell ya the glitch)

Gods I'm hoping that'll be nerfed (Possibly buffed in certain areas as well. When I say "nerfed" I don't mean the god is overpowered)

1). Xing Tian (His 1st ability bleed & 4th ability/ult)
2). Mercury (In S2 you could hit 2k crits with him if you built right; just a little more)
3). Serqet (Her autos, ult, dot, & how long she can stay invisible)
4). Fenrir (His ground target ability does way too much damage, goes through dashes, & it's lock on)
5). Janus (Longer ult cooldown & damage nerf on Unstable Vortex)
6). Chiron (His Masterful Shots cooldown to 16-18s & slow 15% instead of 25%)
7). Nox (Remove the cripple on her 1 + hastened fatalis effect & nerf early game damage)
8). Sun Wukong (Make his ult heal him less during his ult & nerf his clones health a bit)
9). Ymir (Make it so his wall can be destroyed like Cabrakan's ult & less freeze duration cc)
10). Athena (Make her taunt a tad less effective)
11). Hades (Make him receive x2 more damage while he's ulting)
12). Ares (Make Ares chains a disarm instead of a cripple)
13). Sol (Instead of Sol's passive being 25% nerf it to 10-15%)
14). Hou Yi (Nerf Hou Yi's 2nd-3rd richo damage & increase the damage of his 1st shot)
15). Anubis (Give this god more health/defense & nerf his 3rd abilities slow & ults damage)
16). Hun Batz (Nerf the time duration of Hun Batz's ult & nerf his passive)
17). Awilix (Nerf the atk speed buff & damage (not damage buff) from her ult & get rid of the root or cripple from her 2nd ability)

18). Osiris (Nerf his 1st ability cooldown 5s to 8s & his 3rd ability 18s to 15s)
19). Odin (Decrease the damage he does early game & majorly buff his late game status)
20). Poseidon (Make his whirlpool less effective)

Gods in need of a remodel - Arachne, Vamana, Poseidon, Ratatoskr, etc (Ratatoskr's animations are so poorly done. He's just a floating squirrel)

Gonna have some fun dissecting this. Numbers I skip are thing I don't really have comments on or care about. gonna try and take S3 into my eyes with this and all other comments.

4. The lock on can screw things up but yeah dashes should break it too imo (jumps so)

5. did this guy get buffed? in my absence. yes the combo is annoying but I don't remember it being so strong like other mages spell rotations

8.Clone takes SWK HP and is weaker why nerf it. heal is like ~25-40% hp it's not that much

9. is in kinda a bad spot as he is really slow and gets hit hard by the blink nerf. his wall is pretty worthless in lane (godlike in jugnle) however you suggest this change but you missed mentioning 's fissure anywhere (which is IMO 10x as strong as the ymir wall)
His stun is like his wall what makes ymir . nerfing his stun is going to bring him a lot of trouble as it's his most reliable CC. and compared to a lot of other guardians his only good CC (especially if we are talking about most new guardians most of them have 2 hard CC skills and it's not even in their ult most of the time)

11. This will just bring into D Tier. he can do a lot of damage but uhm since when does his ult CRIPPLE again? I can't remember that change

12. could be a fun change but makes Ares role as guardian even worse. the cripple is apart from his ult the only good CC he got. they can however nerf chain damage but ares is getting hit hard atm

14. Kinda makes bouncing it off the wall less worth it though

15. Removes his Niché a bit as the biggest Glass canon in the game. and upping his stats won't help him survive. They should either rework him (which will end up in a generic Smite mage with a waveclear-escape-hard cc-ult) or leave him like he is.

16. Nerfing his passive again *sigh* last time the passive got nerfed most people didn't even see why. Nerfing it either further will probably end in Hun Batz going to a more / et. build. because building crit on HB is jsut aweful.
I can see why you want the time duration nerf however it will probably hurt him a lot as IMO the ult is in a nice spot and normally you won't be in it for the full duration (unless he stuck you into a wall)

19. would probably remove his Niche. is a bit like thanathos early game he is godlike however late game he falls down hard (harder then thana). He would be great in early game comps

20. Prism no damage? I remember myself a assault game as were this spell would have done 30-50% of my or agni/other squishies HP. With only boots and pendant. When he got GoI it would guarantee the 50%.

However kinda removing something from it like the cripple or pull would ruin the spell a bit.

I really don't think hades ult needs any changing. If 1 second beads doesn't escape then buy better beads, and it's not a problem.

That's the problem. Zelvios is reffering to the S3 changes, and beads got nerfed to a 1 sec immunity (all rank, since they relics now all rank 3 actives).

This means you need a better timing for ult.
ult will pull you back once again, if you used beads when you were too close from .
As for and ult, I'm not sure if 1 sec immunity if long enough to avoid it completely.

It also removes the 3 sec CDR, which was also useful.

Oh ****, my bad, I thought they were only nerfing the cooldown on beads.

Yeah I can see that being a problem against a few people

Hey guys, per Phase 1 changes (first adjustment to original PTS), they changed the purification CC immunity duration to 2 seconds.

@Bullfrog

Ares ult timing isn't hard it something you can hear and can easily adjust.

hun batz ult last 1 sec at rank 1 scaling to 2s max.

as said in my quote and just look at how many people have an escape only several (and in most cases low used) gods don't have an escape. if you used it doesn't matter if ult you. You just made the mistake of getting yourself caught by dashing to keep up to that dusa you were chasing. every other god that has a bit of hard CC can be your death (sounds like any god in the game)
