Name: Aphrodite
Title: Goddess of Beauty
Pantheon: Greek Tags: Mage,Support,Ranged,Magical,Low Damage,High Sustain
Inattentive and hideous to look upon, her husband, Hephaestus, unknowingly leaves Aphrodite feeling lonely and worthless. She finds consolation in the arms of other men such as Ares, or validation by competing in any contest of beauty she encounters.
At a wedding attended by all the Gods, a golden apple appeared, inscribed with the words "to the fairest." Immediately Aphrodite, her mother Hera, and sister Athena quarreled over it. Zeus elected Paris, Prince of Troy, to choose a victor. In exchange for being named the fairest, Aphrodite offered any woman in the world as his wife, so Paris agreed. However, he chose Helen as his wife, and their love began the catastrophic Trojan War.
Now, a new war brews, but this one between Gods, not men. While the battlefield is no place for the fairest of all, Aphrodite recalls the destruction between the Greeks and Trojans. Perhaps, this time, her beauty can be used to stop a war instead of start one. Perhaps, this time, she will discover the beauty within.

Aphrodite is Smite's first true support God. She has stun, shield and healing capabilities.
PROS
+ She can keep herself and her lane partner healed while doing DoT at the same time!
+ Aphrodite can supply really great damage assists to initiators.
+ She has an invulnerability shield to put on herself and her soul mate.
+ Her shield also removes all CC effects! OP much?
+ Her kiss is like getting free boots without having any!
CONS
- If not careful she can be focused down very quickly
- You'll have to learn when to use abilities and not overuse them, she uses a lot of mana.
- No jump mechanism!
Aphrodite doesn't really need to jungle, and she really can't do it effectively without help. If any, the cooldown and mana buffs would be to her best benefit.
Cooldown - 20% Cooldown Reduction
Mana - +7 Mana/Sec
MAJESTRIX
200 Gems or 11000 Favor

You really think the 1 and 2 are that much more important?
I always thought that Love Birds were her best ability, I never thought of doing it that way... is this like, a build focused on pure burst damage?
That's the only conceivable reason I could think of to not get Love Birds until then, but even if that's the idea, it just doesn't make sense to me to completely ignore the damage, healing, and potential GoI slow from such a powerful ability.
Maybe
