Agreed. I personally think upon release is the most OP god ever let into the game. on the PTS doesn't count.

I want to point out that Anubis' Q does more damage than Ao Kuang's ultimate with the same build.

Some of us hath rebound our keys sire, which ability doth thou talketh about?
(also 's ult isn't really meant for damage it's an execution, did you mean 's?)

Oh, **** me. Yeah, you got it on the nose.

Kukulkhan's ult does like 800 + 120% scalings at max rank, and Anubis' has 240% scalings and 570 base damage at max rank.

800 magical power on 's ult is 960 + 800 raw damage. (total 1760)

700 magical power (accounting for passive) on Anubis would deal 1680 + 570 raw damage. (total 2250)

In literally any other MOBA, that would be completely broken as ****, but in Smite, not so much.

@sub
This was 's original kit.
Passive: autos steal 5% power up to 3 stacks
Swift Vengeance: Basically the same
Slice and Dice: Also pretty much the same, maybe some number buffs or nerfs, although slowing 50% at all levels
Retribution: "Nemesis activates a temporary shield around herself that protects her from all incoming damage for a duration. Nemesis heals for a percentage of damage that was mitigated and a percentage of any damage received from gods and minions while the shield is active is reflected back to the source (pre-mitigation). Hard crowd control will terminate the shield. Damage Reflect: 30/35/40/45/50% of damage received. Healing: 30/35/40/45/50% of damage received. Duration: 1s. Cost: 60/65/70/75/80. Cooldown: 12s."
Divine Judgement: "Nemesis chooses a single enemy god, reducing their health and movement speed and stealing a portion of their protections for a time period. Her movement speed is also increased during this time. Damage: 30/35/40/45/50% of current HP. Protections: 30/35/40/45/50%. Move Speed: 30/35/40/45/50%. Target Default Duration: 5s. Nemesis Buff Duration: 10s: Cost: 90/95/100/105/110. Cooldown: 90s."
I don't think that's as bad as release or PTS . The biggest issue was her status as a warrior.

Didn't the ultimate deal 50/55/60/65/70? Cause i remember it dealing 70% at max level

Not to mention that 's is a single hit, so it wouldn't have any penetration procs from (assuming spear is being used given that it's and ) if it wasn't used in tandem with . Meanwhile would get the penetration bonus for extra damage almost immediately. And yet remains a C tier god...

The reason why he's in C is because pretty much every god does an insane amount of damage, and so something that's like Anubis is weak because that amount of damage he deals is just overkill, so he gets basically nothing in exchange for all of his weaknesses. (the idea is having weaknesses for strength, but when you "strength" isn't really a strength, well...)

He can blow up people, sure, but other gods can still blow up people safer, faster, and more reliably, and usually with AoE ********.

In Pokemon, it would be the equivalent of Head Smash Choice Band Corsola. It's stupidly strong but is incredibly impractical for various reasons, like damage, recoil, sustainability, and reliability in a team of six where it would likely only survive for a turn.

So what you're saying is that my choice band head smash aggron from pokemon x and y was a bad idea?

Because it was.

This is why I think the more balanced metagames of LoL and Dawngate and such are by far superior to Smite. The environment is more forgiving, so more niches are possible.

If an environment becomes too hostile, eventually, everything has to become a predator of something, as opposed to a biome where scavengers, predators, herbivores, parasites, etc, can thrive.

Quick update, had this moved to the Theorycrafting subforum.

Since this has been a topic of interest as of late, I think that it's time to vote for 's rise to C+/B-.

Your vote should look like one of the following three options:

: Stay.

: Rise, C+.

: Rise, B-.

Simply put, majority wins. Try to ignore all bias while deciding your vote. Since this is the final voting period for this nomination, no reasonings will need to be given, as they should have been said already, if not by you, than by someone else.
