i have currently been testing a full on athena support with the idea of jumping to a low god then healing them up with salvation it has been working quite well. I was wondering if anyone has tried midgardian mail + confound in practice because on paper it sounds good

I would advice against it actually (same with gem), because the slow makes it so that you can't pull the enemy as far as you can if they move at full speed ;)

But the heal thingy is a great idea!

true but i have found it to have alot bigger effect in time fights having there carrys attacks speed reduced by 30% and if you add a witches stone to that you can almost shut down there carrys

hmm, good point ;)

Would at least work very good against ranged carries (if they aren't smart enough to not attack you while taunted).

I don't play Athena much myself, so I can't really say how much the slow effects the taunt. But I think I would at least build Midgarian Mail lategame, because early it is very important to be able to pull someone for a long distance (into towers, ganks etc).

But as you said the attack speed debuff would be good when you get into teamfights mid/late game.

When you're taunted, you automatically attack for the duration of the taunt, assuming you're within attack range.
Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

Oh I thought you could just, not auto attack and you would only chase. I've never gone against a Athena as a ranged though, only as melee and then I've always just been forced to chase and never gotten in attack distance :P

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
