Personally, I want to see some drops - the low rankings look pretty bare to me. Let's start with dropping what's too high up, then go to the gods that are too low in their rankings. After this is cleaned up, we can really start the nominations.

I'd say and can be dropped. They're good mids, but mids aren't OP right now. I also think you're missing and , maybe some others, but those should be low. has not been demonstrated as an A pick yet. is too unreliable to be A+; the only player who can play him with consistency is andinster, the best jungler in the world. has too bad of an escape to be A+. doesn't bring anything to teamfights besides a 2 second silence, so I think he should be dropped from A. is B or B+.

Alright, broad cleanup means quick changes, here we go!

to C
to A-
to B+
Kukulkhan to A
to B+
to B
EDIT: to C

Holding off on and at the moment since they were just nominated for/changed to S, so there's obviously some controversy. I'll wait until I hear other people's opinions.

I shall be going to a BSA meeting soon, so I will make any more changes when I get back.

I feel as though could be dropped even further, I'd sooner have a or on my team than a . Also, brings large AOE slows to teamfights, has better damage than some other warriors and pretty much always wins lane, I feel as though he should remain a solid A.

I personally don't look into tier lists too much just because they're usually opinionated. Along with Grappul, SmiteStuff is another great resource that I use pretty frequently. Any analysis of an individual match, I go to smite guru. The Hi-Rez website is horrible.

Even though I don't really follow tier lists, I can just give a bit of insight for this tier list. So basically your A / A+ list is your top tier gods and S is broken? And then B tier is pretty much the focal point of balance or the average picks?

If so, I'd only leave Bellona and Athena in S tier since those are usually thought of the most unbalanced gods atm. The new A+ tier should include: Poseidon, Isis, Serqet, Nemesis, Sylvanus, Hun Batz, Bastet, Xbal, and Neith. There is quite a bit you can move around but I'll just pick off the few that don't make sense. Loki and Kukulkan should take their spot in B tier or lower. I haven't seen a Kukulkan pick in ranked in like a month and while Loki is alright, he's a solid B tier according to your terms. Lastly, gods that should be brought up a notch or two include Vamana (B+ tier), Arachne (B/B- tier), Freya (B tier), and Kali (B- tier). All who are not too bad but are not faring as well as other picks in this meta. However, Vamana although not picked too much, he's incredibly strong against hunters in lane.

doesn't lose lane, but he doesn't win it either. DM talks about this, as do most of the pro solo laners. The point is, why would you pick if you have , , , or open?

Greenevers, S is more for Gods that aren't broken and don't need nerfs, but are almost always first pick/ban, and are usually thought of when you think of the current metagame. S+ exists for Gods that are inherently broken and will obviously be nerfed next patch. Other than that, that's pretty much the quality I want most posts to be here. Same goes with FemFatalis.

I'll have to go AFK for a bit, but I'll implement some changes when I get back.

EDIT: Implementing the following changes:

to C
to C-
to B-
to A+ (I'm going to implement these now instead of waiting)

I think you're forgetting that this is HiRez -_- they like having broken gods in the game. That's why SS exists: it's the S+ you're talking about, while S+ are the gods who are crazy broken but HiRez is going to leave just the way they are. Think , , from last season. Release was SS.

Ah I misread when you said you were "going to" put in a S+ tier for gods that need nerfs. Just move everything up 1 tier from which I said.

Whoops, ninja'd that post, lemme fix the changes real quick

I wasn't here last season, remember? -_-

but yeah, from what I've heard about release Bellona, it'd be S+ easy. Ratotskr also looks like possible S+ material when it is released.

You guys also may have noticed the lack of ; I decided to wait until A.) a new patch comes or B.) a new god comes before ranking it, so we have sufficient experience to back up our claims.
