Oh i forgot to mention, due to Baba's randomness, i played with the 80% cooldown reduction on basically the entire recording session for this video. Hope nobody got baited into thinking Baba had 3 second cooldowns lol
I just started playing smite like last week. I love Baba Yaga. She's so chaotic. I honestly don't think you need to entirely understand her though, I feel like it makes her even more chaotic for the enemies.
My favorite thing is how she is very high impact in team fight whether completely cutting enemy team in half with her ult or silencing enemy team or even two shooting people with her 2.
Good video. Baba's are always either OP or trash and there seems to be no middle ground. Learnt a lot from your video that I didn't know from just playing against her though. The impression I got was that she hard counters immobile god's but would would you say she is weakest too?
Well generally mages love immobile targets, since they're usually balanced around hitting really hard but having to stick their necks out to do it, so i wouldn't say she stands out TOO much in that regard. Her ultimate hits very, VERY hard, but so do most mage ultimates which all benefit the same amount when used on immobile targets. In general she's weaker into heavy burst and rushdown gods who don't rely on knockups. So, most ADCs if they can get in range to basic attack her can usually outtrade her, especially right now with the crazy crit build, and while forcing Aegis is easy as Baba, her main 3 abilities are VERY easy to aegis so you can ignore that damage as the adc and annihilate her. Assassins like Pele, Nemesis, Bakasura, Ao, Mercury, and so on are also good for a similar reason, if they get in range, she just can't pump out damage fast enough and usually dies to them, although her damage might be enough to make it a 1 for 1. As for tanks it's again a give and take. Like i mentioned gods like Gilgamesh, Arthur, Chaac, Shiva, Atlas, Bacchus, Xing, these knockup based dive gods don't really bother her. But get her against Terra, Ares, Athena, Ganesha, they can all shut her down insanely hard, almost always forcing her ultimate. Then more solo lane oriented gods like Bellona, Ama, Osiris, Guan, they can all easily force her dash like the rest of them but continue diving after she ults and kill her in her ultimate with no trouble. And even though Achilles has trouble chasing her and probably won't catch her dash with his stun i have killed many a Baba in her ultimate with the execute. So, in short, she's definitely a god where you want to play out matchups in your head with before you pick her in a draft, and you never want to pick her too early.
Baba is ridiculous, dont know how to use her or build her but went 9/2/17 in a close arena game and got the game winning 2 kills while they only needed 7 points to win just spamming abilities Needs nerf for real

Adding cooldown is actually a good idea though, I'm gonna try that.
@@Zach.W96 ..... You should have 40-50% cdr on 90% of the gods in the game. And asap, this is not new info

Thx for making this. I came back to smite after while. Baba is best build imo wirh dual stacking
My main man, you never disappoint..
