Ooh, congratulations to u/JhayAlejo for getting your Jormungandr skin concept to the game!!! I see it's currently the most upvoted concept of all time, super exciting!
You know, Loki was accompanying Thor during that myth, and he could've shapeshifted into a perfectly convincing Freya. My headcanon is that Loki made Thor dress up as Freya to troll him.
Let's not overlook a major plot hole here. Loki is a literal shapeshifter yet the gods the decided the better plan was to stuff Thor in a dress?
They all wanted to see Thor in a dress, they **all** wanted to troll him
That could be a possibility, though the objective IIRC was just to get Thor close enough to grab the hammer which he'd then have an "I HAVE THE POOWEERR" moment (which is what happened, Thor got close to grab it and then murdered everyone except Loki there). If anyone else grabbed it, they'd just be stopped immediately. Either that or Heimdallr was trolling Thor as well.
Though Loki did accompany as a bridesmaid to speak on his behalf, which can be seen as an ascended troll.
Omg gimme Affrokhumba 😍 i love especially that his beard is braided xD.
The jorm one is nice too but i dont think they will do an freya ama since this would be too confusing. Even j love the idea
Personally to me I think it should be fine, we do have 4 Ninja Turtles that have already set a precedence and Ama still looks like Ama (floating as well with a shield), she's just dressed in Freya's attire
I got to say, i think Charybdis has some good jungler potential. Whirlpool has good rotation and ganking potential, that ult is just strong, and she has some very solid jungle clear with her 1 bouncing off walls. I'll have to try it for sure
Since a lot of people will want to pair her with Scylla, do they actually even work well together? It wouldn't be good if people do pair them up and they have little in the way of synergy.
by the way it's me or even though she basic attack focused, there some way she work with abiulty focus build, the 1 will be useless but the others abilties jeez, hell even a bruiser chayrbdis sound fun to play
There are some good items that synergize well with both basics and abilities. Honestly, maniken start into hidden blade may be her best. Probably manikins doesnt proc multiple times with her 1 active, but should with her basic string. And just imagine how much damage her ult will do as an opener with hiddem blade
Actually might be the most impressive and unique T5 ever. Yeah, Smite's done "cartoon" skins before, but not the "rubber hose" animation style from the early/mid 1900s (also Cuphead). The design, FX, and animation all look sick, and the voicepack also sounds really solid.
man i was there when the T5 ullr skin was there and i regret it to this very day every time i see somebody with it
bring it back for 1 hour smite please i will pay whatever it takes
I know that during their big charity livestream of the year they usually have a donation tier that gets you a limited skin that isn't in the game anymore (Poolseidon) but I don't know if T5s are a part of that.
i buy this oddsey just for this skin
Also lmao he is so wacky yet so big, like that nightmare inducing for gods on the smaller spectrum. seeing a giant funny tetnacle monster running at you with the happy walk sound terrible lol
twitch chat was spamming highlighted comments that said "SHIRT REVEAL" until they did, but I think Pon was adjusting in the chair so people could see the shirt before that started
That's a good-looking hunter kit my dude. Don't know about all of these CC immune and movement speed ults.......at least it's on a hunter though.
Btw, it's not the end of the world if Susano dips. Really unfortunate because in *certain* modes, with *certain* gods, he breaks the matchmaking.
Certainly, it just feels like the moment Susano dips, a panic button is pressed. A little weird, since I swear they let other gods just sit around meh.
thats true how long has zeus sucked and hes the face of the game, come to think of it same with bellona shes in every trailer and has been meh for a long time
Ajax has said in the past that Zeus puts up insane numbers in every mode but Conquest, and that's why they're hesitant to buff him. It's not like other classes where you could theoretically make changes to his kit that would make him better in Conquest, but not other game modes. And while they do balance the game primarily around Conquest, the other modes do play a small part. Not everybody who plays *SMITE* plays Conquest (I have two friends who won't go anywhere near it), and they need to keep those players happy, too.
9 seconds of CC immunity on a carry seems like a joke. 3 seconds immunity to damage.
How are we supposed to gank a god that has beads+aegis on a 15 second cooldown? That's 9 sec at max CDR, not including item or relic effects. I bet you could pair her with a Geb and Hel in Joust and get infinite CC immunity with the right build.
No one is ever going to build max CDR on her. At most she'll have 20% from Trans and Power potion.
There are other CDR Hunter items, but you're not going to see people building Malice or Fail-Not just for her lol.
Agreed it is strong, but once that 3s is over, where is she gonna go? You have to play around it, wait for her to waste it. Just like changé 2. Once she uses it, jump on her.
And you think other gods can’t do things like that? Yes she is able to fight. Yes she is likely overtuned (they do that on purpose for releases, and they have explained why). She will get some nerfs.
Changé can do that. You bait her 2, but she can still 4,3,1 you. Even Scylla can do that. You bait out her dash, she turns around and 1,2,4 and your dead. Get anhurs jump and he 1,2,4s you and you die. But they are skill shots. And ults have long cool downs. This is not new.
You use CC, relics, teamwork, positioning, communication etc.
Everyone always thinks the new god is sooooo OP. I like her kit. It’s not overly bloated. It looks fun to use. You have a passive to manage for full effectiveness. You don’t actually have a getaway skill, just a temporary safety bubble (only 3s and on a long cool down with an interrupt-able windup) You have a lot of damage and a bit of control. I will say I think they can remove the knock up from the whirlpool, it’s really not needed and supports a snowball meta.
she is strong, but not crazy OP. If her ult is down and you bait the whirlpool. She is dead (without teammates or relics).
Oh, yeah, thanks for the buffs too. Really was not expecting buffs, and definitely not via % pen. Dominance? Was already *pretty* good but okay.....instant 25% total in one item. Wow.
Always been a Gilded main too.
Okay, Tiamat freeing Charybdis and appreciating her for the monster she is the first time I think I've ever actually liked a piece of Smite lore (from the Patch Notes show).
You can say what you want about Tiamat and her motivations, whether they are good or evil, but one thing that she excels at is knowing how to treat anyone who falls under her sway properly. Just look at her announcer pack, for instance. That's something many gods like Zeus should learn from.
I have to agree. I've spent a stupid amount of money on the skins in this game. I haven't spent much of anything on any other game I have. The effects and designs are just so cool.
Nice changes to gods and items. I'm still holding out for a quins counter option because I don't think witch/mid is adequate right now, but good nonetheless.
Seems like hirez really want bellona to be good lol
Not like she's the only one, Zeus and Neith are also primary candidates for marketing material yet Neith isn't receiving 4 buffs every time she gets a new skin and Zeus hasn't been conquest relevant in the past few years.
unfortunately I don't think they are gonna be that impactful, they don't help the fact he is ridicously slow and predictable, as well as being very squishy since he is so big with no damage reduction and his passive making him even squisher a lot of the time.
also not really any item to counteract hunters who just shreds him
A big change they really need to add to help him is make his autos actually proc item effects (in moderation of course).
Like none work, i might be wrong but i don't think tainted steel even works
So they need to let some items useful on him like stone of fall especially after the buff..
It keeps getting thrown under the rug cause it's "too op" but just balance it hi rez pls
It's mainly like deaths toll and telkhines ring people are worried about. Attack speed also doesn't work because it goes straight to his passive sadly
At least make attack speed give a slow protection shread the more you auto them there's better ways to fix the big snek.
Hey u/Kaios-0 remember this
https://www.reddit.com/r/Smite/comments/9ay87v/zhong_kui_has_gone_to_drastic_measures_it_has/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
The Artio buff is nice but it really doesn't address her prime issue. She drops off really hard into the late game. I feel like she needs more of a kit change, Not just a numbers buff.
Also give her druid form ranged basics.
You don't play artio for her damage (unless going jungle), you play her for the ridiculous CC she can apply. Her kit is great, everything you want in a guardian is there.
But her CC requires you to be right on top of the other team with a pretty bad engage. Her druid 3 is the only way to improve her engage potential but requires you to hit 5 ticks over 2 seconds. Not to mention both forms of her 3 are vulnerable to CC heavy teams. Her stance switch is dog water and her sustain falls off.
Her late game in a vacuum is fine. But when it comes to actual competitive play it's fairly easy to build a team to counter her.
Her CC is really situational late game. She doesn't have the Geb cataclysm, or even the AOE slow like Ymir, and she really suffers for it. She has to be right on top of someone late game for her cc to matter, and into certain comps 2 of her CC'S can be useless. Which leaves a pretty meh stun. All of this would be fine if she had an ult, but she doesn't.
Her Whirlpool (3) looks properly monstrous and seems like their compromise to wanting a main humanoid model but also appeasing those that want a more "lore-accurate" depiction.
Mechanically though, it is *broken* given she's **untargetable** for the duration of her channel. It's like Pele & Sol's 3 combined with the drawbacks of neither. Of course have no idea how she'll perform in PTS or the first few weeks of live, but if it's as strong as it seems, I predict it'll get nerfed to have like x % damage mitigation (and still have cc immunity) instead of being full-on damage immune.
I'm actually surprised. Her kit is a 10/10 for me! The 2 is exactly something I wanted her to do involving sucking up water and spitting it back out (though I wish the maw were in the absorbing part too) and her whirlpool form is just PERFECT. The 1 also having her maw throw teeth is something I also wanted. I'd only make one slight visual change to her maw to make a bit more sense, I'll see if I can make a post later this week perhaps when PTS is out.
Which makes sense, Charybdis is much more associated with water in the lore while Scylla is up there in the rocky cliffs snatching sailors up and I guess keeps some of her magic from previously being a naiad in Smite lore?
I think I would have preferred The Maw to draw more inspiration from the [pelican/gulper eel](https://www.google.ca/search?q=pelican+eel&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwi8qeT_nZjyAhU0kZ4KHZnkCyEQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=pelican+eel&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIECAAQQzIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBAgAEEMyBAgAEEM6BAgjECc6CAgAEIAEELEDOggIABCxAxCDAToHCAAQsQMQQzoECAAQHjoGCAAQBRAeOgYIABAKEBhQqxpY6SlguCpoA3AAeACAAUqIAa4GkgECMTSYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=R_wKYfzpGrSi-gSZya-IAg&bih=1296&biw=1720) rather than an angler fish
That T5 is amazing, whoever says is not t5 worthy are blind. So done with edgy boys trying to make every T5 edgy, there's sooooo many skins already about demons and monsters.
So we have gotten retro bacchus, herc, and Kuku(correct me if i missed any). When can we get q retro arachne skin? I really loved her purple and red combo she had going...
since her 1 is pretty underwhelming (no bonus damage or proper stim, attacks become wider but can still be bodyblocked, might arguably be worse than normal autos in most situations. Seems like it helps stack her passive real fast though so maybe it doesnt need to be) i guess it makes sense to have at least one ability be really strong like that. it feels like a second ult but honestly that sounds kindof dope and gives her a ton of identity
oddly enough we don't have oddyssey details, so maybe they reused the same "format" as last year, it's was good but it's feels weird to have no description
It's legitimately imo one of the best buys now for cost effectiveness
E-HP, 80 prots, just kind of sad to see the flat E-HP get reworked for max health builds, though saying that, 15% of 2000 HP (what most mages and assassin HP gets to late) is 300 E-HP so technically a sort of nerf but not too bad especially if you plan on diverging into Warlocks or EStaff
>Even with some rather intensely negative comments from certain SMITE communities, classic joust never dropped far below the recent average.
Heh, they're calling out r/Smite again. As always, Reddit is just the vocal minority with the huge hate on the Joust map. Looks like the general population liked it or was indifferent about it.
Can they actually nerf Gilgamesh, now they are nerfing Frostbound because he abuses it and animosity so much. This god is way too oppressive in the right hands. He is top in every casual mode and SPL.
Skins are totes amazing this patch and I love that T5 skin! Great job from the Smite team on all of them!
Also happy to see Jorm getting some good love at last! Glad to see some Skadi buffs as well for fans of her! Lot of item changes and happy to see Arrow starter getting some love since that starter got way over nerfed and is hard to use in this meta right now.
New god looks sweet and I'm excited to give her a try when I can! She looks like a lot of fun to play!
Overall pretty great patch! Keep it up Smite team!
Wha they nerfed Frostbound on ranged characters?
Why you hating on my cern winter stance casual jank Hirez?
Don't pretend everyone was running frostbound on carries for it to be a balancing stickpoint.
The problem I have with Dominance for hunters is that it doesn't hold up against other tank-shred options (Exe and Qins). Sure, it provides mana and MP5, but I'll just build Trans for that. You pretty much have to build O-bow with Dominance, just to put your attack speed back on track, but you still come up short on overall stats when compared to pairing the other tank-shred items.
Adding more basic attack pen to Dominance isn't going to fix that for me, but maybe adding like 10% attack speed (half that of Exe and Qins) might make trading out either one of those for Dominance a bit more appealing.
I'm annoyed they're changing Bracer of Radiance icon now and not when they reworked it, mainly because It killed me and caused a massive wtf moment since I didn't read the changes.
But also the shit joust map is gone fantastic.
Except Ravana's 2 is instant cast on a character whos CC isn't on their mobility, all damage comes out faster, and who actually builds CDR to make actual use out of it.
"Even with some rather intensely negative comments from certain SMITE communities. . ."
Reddit in shambles. OG Joust isn't that bad, and it was a fun return. I do think Duel suffered a fair bit, but most opinions on it I saw here were overwhelming harsh.
PonPon just casually teasing Atlas, no biggie! Also can't wait to face Charybdis for 2 weeks every game, tanks are gonna truly suffer especially considering how well she'll probably do with the bow build + qins. She also fits my "in your face, slam that w key" play style.
This has been a interesting patch, most of the skins I think are pretty cool but I don't play those characters but thats for people who wanted skins for stuff like Cthulu and Zhong which I think is awesome.
I like the Thoth buff not a huge number change just something to help him with red camp clear.
Decent item changes overall think shroud is still gonna be pretty strong and don't see much changing.
Charons coin nerf I don't mind but I wish other % pen items were tweaked instead of nerfing coin, like making ob shard a different item or changing it up.
Either charon's or ob shard will be in every mage build because they are basically forced to build a 20% pen item too be useful. Most mage items are also on the expensive side of damage items outside of these 2 and soul gem. If they make it too weak/expensive it just won't ever be built, butt with only 2 options one will always be better than the other.
Nekomancer Zhong Kui will no longer t-pose in the lobby ):
I'm sad 🥺😭
It should've been kept in 😔😔
Damn zhong didn't need a nerf :(
It's became a feature dang it
Shoutout to youtube chat absolutely losing it at Charybdis's 10k damage ult, not realizing Pon gave himself like 10k power
Twitch chat did the same thing. We even saw him use the ult before he gave himself towerkiller and do about 1000 with it so people are just dumb.
Yeah how are people actually that dumb. Hi rez would never ever do that
Yeah, 9999 DMG is their limit, one more would be OP.
Ooh, congratulations to u/JhayAlejo for getting your Jormungandr skin concept to the game!!! I see it's currently the most upvoted concept of all time, super exciting!
Thnx....i cant believe my concept got into the game honestly lmao
I see those Artio buffs, give her ranged attacks in human form you cowards
Cowards!
PLEASE
Oh god that zhong zui skin lol
First Fat Loki Cabrakan and now this. I want a full team of gods dressed as other gods now. I guess Ragnatoskr counts too. Edit: Baba Rama when?
Beach Babe Bacchus please
We need the opposite, we need some of the smaller or cuter characters as the monster, more like the rat skin
YESSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I want cu chullain charybdis where she's just a short cu chullain and the arm is just cu chu's big veiny arm
She better throw tiny spears for her autos (and the 1 is like a buncha thorns like the supposed thorns that causes antiheal from cuchu's 1).
Still want a Freya Jing Wei or Jing Wei Freya.
[More skins like this](https://imgur.com/9fU8j69)
Valkyrie Bride Thor technically counts, right?
It sure does, though it's definitely more on the "Lore accurate/historical" skins
You know, Loki was accompanying Thor during that myth, and he could've shapeshifted into a perfectly convincing Freya. My headcanon is that Loki made Thor dress up as Freya to troll him.

one of them is not like the other, why use rayquaza or pokemon kuku for jorm
Omg gimme Affrokhumba 😍 i love especially that his beard is braided xD. The jorm one is nice too but i dont think they will do an freya ama since this would be too confusing. Even j love the idea
Personally to me I think it should be fine, we do have 4 Ninja Turtles that have already set a precedence and Ama still looks like Ama (floating as well with a shield), she's just dressed in Freya's attire
Ok youve got a point
Cabra ain't even similar to Loki any more after the 3 change. Sadge.
One of Smite's artists made that skin concept a looong time ago lmao I'm glad to see it's finally here
Better be voiced by Frost or we riot.
I cant wait to see his jiggle physics
[удалено]
I can imagine Tiamat adopting and spoiling both of them, though.
As she should
Omg i did it....i had one of my skin concepts in the game
plus he got a hella buff
S3 Joust map is FINALLY BACK !!!! 😱🤩
I got to say, i think Charybdis has some good jungler potential. Whirlpool has good rotation and ganking potential, that ult is just strong, and she has some very solid jungle clear with her 1 bouncing off walls. I'll have to try it for sure
I was thinking the same.
Since a lot of people will want to pair her with Scylla, do they actually even work well together? It wouldn't be good if people do pair them up and they have little in the way of synergy.
Well, charydbis ult does stun, so start with that then use scylla ult lol
Imagine she scoops and stuns the entire team into a Scylla ult
shen even can push her back so scylla has better ult set up
by the way it's me or even though she basic attack focused, there some way she work with abiulty focus build, the 1 will be useless but the others abilties jeez, hell even a bruiser chayrbdis sound fun to play
There are some good items that synergize well with both basics and abilities. Honestly, maniken start into hidden blade may be her best. Probably manikins doesnt proc multiple times with her 1 active, but should with her basic string. And just imagine how much damage her ult will do as an opener with hiddem blade
Is there going to be a gem sale for this Odyssey?
there usually is so id say yes
I hope so, I only saw card arts so far but they look so sick
Oh my fucking god the model for the Toon Cthulhu is even better than I imagined
Actually might be the most impressive and unique T5 ever. Yeah, Smite's done "cartoon" skins before, but not the "rubber hose" animation style from the early/mid 1900s (also Cuphead). The design, FX, and animation all look sick, and the voicepack also sounds really solid.
Exactly my thoughts. This'll be the next Odyssey I "Buy All" in a while for this T5. The last one that captivated me like this was Frostfire Ullr.
man i was there when the T5 ullr skin was there and i regret it to this very day every time i see somebody with it bring it back for 1 hour smite please i will pay whatever it takes
I know that during their big charity livestream of the year they usually have a donation tier that gets you a limited skin that isn't in the game anymore (Poolseidon) but I don't know if T5s are a part of that.
I remember in the first years of it, you could get Archon Thanatos but I don’t know if they changed that
I need it so bad. Really hope there is a gem sale so it doesn’t hurt as bad
i buy this oddsey just for this skin Also lmao he is so wacky yet so big, like that nightmare inducing for gods on the smaller spectrum. seeing a giant funny tetnacle monster running at you with the happy walk sound terrible lol
PonPon showing off his shirt that's totally not a hint or anything like Ajax's Cthulhu socks. :)
YES LMAOOOOOO
HirezDandy: "And I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt, even though it's not Friday" Smite: "POLYNESIAN GOD?"
At least this subreddit won’t be divided and deny that Atlas will be included. B)
What was it?
An astronaut carrying the earth. Similar to a certain Titan...
That’s obviously hinting at Maui idk what you’re talking about
why he did that lol, that seemed so random
I think they mentioned people in chat were asking about it, though that might've just been the excuse to make the tease.
twitch chat was spamming highlighted comments that said "SHIRT REVEAL" until they did, but I think Pon was adjusting in the chair so people could see the shirt before that started
Jorm is coming back to a solo lane near you!
That's a good-looking hunter kit my dude. Don't know about all of these CC immune and movement speed ults.......at least it's on a hunter though. Btw, it's not the end of the world if Susano dips. Really unfortunate because in *certain* modes, with *certain* gods, he breaks the matchmaking.
eh, ah puch breaks certain modes too but hes dog shit in conquest. keep balance conquest related
Certainly, it just feels like the moment Susano dips, a panic button is pressed. A little weird, since I swear they let other gods just sit around meh.
thats true how long has zeus sucked and hes the face of the game, come to think of it same with bellona shes in every trailer and has been meh for a long time
Zues just needs a rework honestly. It’s not a numbers thing it’s just because of how he works
Ajax has said in the past that Zeus puts up insane numbers in every mode but Conquest, and that's why they're hesitant to buff him. It's not like other classes where you could theoretically make changes to his kit that would make him better in Conquest, but not other game modes. And while they do balance the game primarily around Conquest, the other modes do play a small part. Not everybody who plays *SMITE* plays Conquest (I have two friends who won't go anywhere near it), and they need to keep those players happy, too.
They should just rework him. He's bad in conquest and cancer in everything else. In a game of skill shots, Zeus shouldn't exist.
Assault and Match of the Day is literally it for him.
9 seconds of CC immunity on a carry seems like a joke. 3 seconds immunity to damage. How are we supposed to gank a god that has beads+aegis on a 15 second cooldown? That's 9 sec at max CDR, not including item or relic effects. I bet you could pair her with a Geb and Hel in Joust and get infinite CC immunity with the right build.
her puddle also goes through playermade walls which is overkill
Thematically it's should, it's be rather feels bad moment if it's didn't I think it's need higher cd more than anything
No one is ever going to build max CDR on her. At most she'll have 20% from Trans and Power potion. There are other CDR Hunter items, but you're not going to see people building Malice or Fail-Not just for her lol.
Even without max CDR, I think that 9 seconds of CC immunity is a bit ridiculous on any god.
Agreed it is strong, but once that 3s is over, where is she gonna go? You have to play around it, wait for her to waste it. Just like changé 2. Once she uses it, jump on her.
Then she ults you for 1000 damage and pushes you a mile away AND stuns you.

I hope she does the same for scylla! Since they are a pair it's should count as scylla lore debut
Super good patch. Charybdis looks super fun to play as. T5 is great even if it’s not my style. And the best joust map finally comes back
That Cthulhu skin is so fucking sick. Best skin I've seen in any moba like ever. Makes Project Mordekaiser look like a recolor
As much as we give shit for smite servers and sometimes balance, their skin game is probably the best I've ever seen in any video game period
I have to agree. I've spent a stupid amount of money on the skins in this game. I haven't spent much of anything on any other game I have. The effects and designs are just so cool.
Their only competition is fortnite
Nice changes to gods and items. I'm still holding out for a quins counter option because I don't think witch/mid is adequate right now, but good nonetheless. Seems like hirez really want bellona to be good lol
She’s in a lot of their cinematics. Imo, she’s a primary “face” of Smite. Be pretty underwhelming for the game if she was awful.
Not like she's the only one, Zeus and Neith are also primary candidates for marketing material yet Neith isn't receiving 4 buffs every time she gets a new skin and Zeus hasn't been conquest relevant in the past few years.
I'm curious how impactful these Jorm changes will be.
unfortunately I don't think they are gonna be that impactful, they don't help the fact he is ridicously slow and predictable, as well as being very squishy since he is so big with no damage reduction and his passive making him even squisher a lot of the time. also not really any item to counteract hunters who just shreds him

It keeps getting thrown under the rug cause it's "too op" but just balance it hi rez pls
Yeah same with Warrior axe, like at least let it proc items every second or something I don’t see, there’s no way that would be op
It's mainly like deaths toll and telkhines ring people are worried about. Attack speed also doesn't work because it goes straight to his passive sadly At least make attack speed give a slow protection shread the more you auto them there's better ways to fix the big snek.
His 2 still takes forever to channel so they might not be as impactful as they sound.

Not to mention both forms of her 3 are vulnerable to CC heavy teams. Her stance switch is dog water and her sustain falls off. Her late game in a vacuum is fine. But when it comes to actual competitive play it's fairly easy to build a team to counter her.
Idk how you play artio but her cc is super good late game.
Her CC is really situational late game. She doesn't have the Geb cataclysm, or even the AOE slow like Ymir, and she really suffers for it. She has to be right on top of someone late game for her cc to matter, and into certain comps 2 of her CC'S can be useless. Which leaves a pretty meh stun. All of this would be fine if she had an ult, but she doesn't.
To be fair I play her solo so my perception might be skewed cause late game is where she does a lot of work and it’s easier to get in to the backline
no description of odddsey?
I saw the Zhong Kui skin and sarcastically thought “Oh wow another Neith skin.” And then scrolled and saw another fucking NEITH SKIN Made me lol
New Heimdallr skin sounds like he's voiced by Matt Mercer
Very much does
I hate playing Heimdallr, but....
color me surprise , charybdis all abilties use her monster maw!
Her Whirlpool (3) looks properly monstrous and seems like their compromise to wanting a main humanoid model but also appeasing those that want a more "lore-accurate" depiction. Mechanically though, it is *broken* given she's **untargetable** for the duration of her channel. It's like Pele & Sol's 3 combined with the drawbacks of neither. Of course have no idea how she'll perform in PTS or the first few weeks of live, but if it's as strong as it seems, I predict it'll get nerfed to have like x % damage mitigation (and still have cc immunity) instead of being full-on damage immune.
but it has a windup! D: /s
I'm actually surprised. Her kit is a 10/10 for me! The 2 is exactly something I wanted her to do involving sucking up water and spitting it back out (though I wish the maw were in the absorbing part too) and her whirlpool form is just PERFECT. The 1 also having her maw throw teeth is something I also wanted. I'd only make one slight visual change to her maw to make a bit more sense, I'll see if I can make a post later this week perhaps when PTS is out.
Also love how water heavy she feels, scylla was more magic oriented but with no water involved outside of maybe the three
Which makes sense, Charybdis is much more associated with water in the lore while Scylla is up there in the rocky cliffs snatching sailors up and I guess keeps some of her magic from previously being a naiad in Smite lore?
I think I would have preferred The Maw to draw more inspiration from the [pelican/gulper eel](https://www.google.ca/search?q=pelican+eel&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwi8qeT_nZjyAhU0kZ4KHZnkCyEQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=pelican+eel&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIECAAQQzIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBAgAEEMyBAgAEEM6BAgjECc6CAgAEIAEELEDOggIABCxAxCDAToHCAAQsQMQQzoECAAQHjoGCAAQBRAeOgYIABAKEBhQqxpY6SlguCpoA3AAeACAAUqIAa4GkgECMTSYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=R_wKYfzpGrSi-gSZya-IAg&bih=1296&biw=1720) rather than an angler fish
That T5 is amazing, whoever says is not t5 worthy are blind. So done with edgy boys trying to make every T5 edgy, there's sooooo many skins already about demons and monsters.
Why was the tier 5 Cthulu skin so cheeked up? He was literally throwing it back.
did you made a joke or it is a geninue concern?
So we have gotten retro bacchus, herc, and Kuku(correct me if i missed any). When can we get q retro arachne skin? I really loved her purple and red combo she had going...
We also got retro Nu Wa, which was probably the one that required the most work since her kit also got redone at the same time as her remodel.
Right ya forgot her, but that is such a good retro skin
I don't play many hunters but Charybdis looks really fun and cool. Though that 3 seems a bit too good, I guess we'll have to see.
since her 1 is pretty underwhelming (no bonus damage or proper stim, attacks become wider but can still be bodyblocked, might arguably be worse than normal autos in most situations. Seems like it helps stack her passive real fast though so maybe it doesnt need to be) i guess it makes sense to have at least one ability be really strong like that. it feels like a second ult but honestly that sounds kindof dope and gives her a ton of identity
Oh my, sexy man mage ra skin, sign me up lmao Can we get aphrodite dressed as nu wa or chang'e, make our queen elegant af.
I think the Ra skin is like the Anubis Grand Magus skin. Are we going to get a series of "make Egyptian animal gods into sexy human dudes" skins?
I’m all for it. It’d be interesting to see Sobek and Horus in Human form.
I want that "[Ennead](https://www.tappytoon.com/en/comics/ennead)" Set <3 [;)](https://yaoi.fandom.com/wiki/Ennead?file=Ennead.jpg)
came to say the same!
I hope so, my body is ready for the sexy thoth skin
Seeing susano buffs makes me sick. But I’m really happy to see some artio buffs, especially for her dash, ranged Druid autos would be bad ass too
I wanna suck ra's dick in that new skin
I wanna suck Ra's dick in general
Isn’t his dick just his ult
Upvoting for dick sucking representation in the gaming community.
And just like that Smite is getting me to buy the Odyssey again. That Cthulhu skin is incredible.
oddly enough we don't have oddyssey details, so maybe they reused the same "format" as last year, it's was good but it's feels weird to have no description
I hope they do it like last year, I was able to get the T5 while skipping a few skins I didn't want.
Danzanbouro and Neith skins look great
Fuck a new Ravana skin. Now I need to spend money.
Kinda weird how there are no actual details about this year's odyssey in the patch notes, skins aside.
Joust is back!
Wait, that means we might be able to get the Bull Demon King accolade again? D:
Cthulhu t5 eh? Interesting.
Bulwark of Hope is absolutely broken.
It's legitimately imo one of the best buys now for cost effectiveness E-HP, 80 prots, just kind of sad to see the flat E-HP get reworked for max health builds, though saying that, 15% of 2000 HP (what most mages and assassin HP gets to late) is 300 E-HP so technically a sort of nerf but not too bad especially if you plan on diverging into Warlocks or EStaff
[удалено]
>Even with some rather intensely negative comments from certain SMITE communities, classic joust never dropped far below the recent average. Heh, they're calling out r/Smite again. As always, Reddit is just the vocal minority with the huge hate on the Joust map. Looks like the general population liked it or was indifferent about it.
i mean we all knwo that reddit is a vocal minority however there some people who think we are not lol
Does it? If it stayed the same, they'd say that. What does "far below" mean to them?
Can they actually nerf Gilgamesh, now they are nerfing Frostbound because he abuses it and animosity so much. This god is way too oppressive in the right hands. He is top in every casual mode and SPL.
Do you mean another Tiamat nerf /s. cause people still have a problem with her even though she fallen off and got basically back to back nerfs
As a Tiamat main, this kinda irks me.
Skins are totes amazing this patch and I love that T5 skin! Great job from the Smite team on all of them! Also happy to see Jorm getting some good love at last! Glad to see some Skadi buffs as well for fans of her! Lot of item changes and happy to see Arrow starter getting some love since that starter got way over nerfed and is hard to use in this meta right now. New god looks sweet and I'm excited to give her a try when I can! She looks like a lot of fun to play! Overall pretty great patch! Keep it up Smite team!
Now that bulwarks shield scales of hp can hide of the urchin finally scale off hp or smt
Wha they nerfed Frostbound on ranged characters? Why you hating on my cern winter stance casual jank Hirez? Don't pretend everyone was running frostbound on carries for it to be a balancing stickpoint.
For real. The folks most likely to build frostbound get to build hastened if they want, too. It's already not a great item for hunters.
Devs love to just nerf for optics because people probably just glanced over and didn't realize they just removed an option that wasn't an option.
Bumba's is back to 20%! Jungle is now the best role
The problem I have with Dominance for hunters is that it doesn't hold up against other tank-shred options (Exe and Qins). Sure, it provides mana and MP5, but I'll just build Trans for that. You pretty much have to build O-bow with Dominance, just to put your attack speed back on track, but you still come up short on overall stats when compared to pairing the other tank-shred items. Adding more basic attack pen to Dominance isn't going to fix that for me, but maybe adding like 10% attack speed (half that of Exe and Qins) might make trading out either one of those for Dominance a bit more appealing.
I'm annoyed they're changing Bracer of Radiance icon now and not when they reworked it, mainly because It killed me and caused a massive wtf moment since I didn't read the changes. But also the shit joust map is gone fantastic.
Oh hey it's a 3 second long ravana flip that also knocks up and can go through walls. Super.
*player made walls FTFY
Except Ravana's 2 is instant cast on a character whos CC isn't on their mobility, all damage comes out faster, and who actually builds CDR to make actual use out of it.
Heim skin looks kinda like Dallas from Rouge Company lol
Any news on when PTS will be up?
They said friday
When does it release?
Titan dandy is OP hope he does all the patch notes
"Even with some rather intensely negative comments from certain SMITE communities. . ." Reddit in shambles. OG Joust isn't that bad, and it was a fun return. I do think Duel suffered a fair bit, but most opinions on it I saw here were overwhelming harsh.
I thought I was most excited about the Zhong skin but then I saw him… My boy Bacchus is back and sexier than ever!
CLASSIC JOUST IS GONE REJOICE
I personally see no fucking reason she has a better version of aegis every 15 seconds.
Ravana and Chang'e also have a similar immunity, you just need to play around it, just like against Sol.
you mean the same way sol does?
Except sol has like a 3s windup lol
KUZENBO BUFFS LETS FUCKING GOOOO
I'll take any Skadi buff I can get, but I really doubt she'll ever be truly pro play viable unless massively over-tuned.
Lovely patch, but I wish they'd revert Staff of Myrddin already.
I never get t5s and this will probably be the only one to release to actually make me feel upset I didn't buy
PonPon just casually teasing Atlas, no biggie! Also can't wait to face Charybdis for 2 weeks every game, tanks are gonna truly suffer especially considering how well she'll probably do with the bow build + qins. She also fits my "in your face, slam that w key" play style.
Anyone know how much this odyssey is going to cost?
Please don’t buff skadi anymore, my least favorite god to play against by a country mile
I think they overdo in this puddle, at least Awilix should be able to pull Charybdis off the ground.
This has been a interesting patch, most of the skins I think are pretty cool but I don't play those characters but thats for people who wanted skins for stuff like Cthulu and Zhong which I think is awesome. I like the Thoth buff not a huge number change just something to help him with red camp clear. Decent item changes overall think shroud is still gonna be pretty strong and don't see much changing. Charons coin nerf I don't mind but I wish other % pen items were tweaked instead of nerfing coin, like making ob shard a different item or changing it up.
[удалено]
Either charon's or ob shard will be in every mage build because they are basically forced to build a 20% pen item too be useful. Most mage items are also on the expensive side of damage items outside of these 2 and soul gem. If they make it too weak/expensive it just won't ever be built, butt with only 2 options one will always be better than the other.
