EXACTLY and when he gets through even if you shit on him in the solo lane (I have done with Sun and Herc) doesnt matter because team fights he dives and destroys and too tanky for me to beat him smh
"Not very often you see Duke get genuinely angry" I'm sorry but do you watch his twitch streams? He by no means is always angry, but he gets pretty pissed sometimes, and it's not per se a rare occurrence. And, don't take this the wrong way. I love Duke, but the man does get heated more than "not very often". (Though I have noticed that his temper has been a LOT better recently, which props to him for doing, this game is fucking agonizing)
He's almost always calm in his videos and takes time to discuss things over, which is good and actually the reason why I subbed to him a long while back. His streams though? Anything goes, and it's a GREAT time
Curious to hear about the lore on the whole rage form thing. But honestly some crucial lore facts about gods should be included in their kits. Like, almost any named weapon in any mythology has its purpose which should be reflected in game. SWK's staff. Amaterasu's Sword, Thoth's Book, Apollo's (or Helios's) Chariot. I dont think they should pass on items like these and the lore surrounding them when designing a kit. And honestly, Its a fucking line ability with anti heal. Dont we have any other fucking abilities like that? Oh right Sobek's Cone, Change's Heal. The description is only long due to the stance, and detail of rage generation.
He would get so mad he would enter a "warp spasm" where he basically turned into Mr Hyde and couldn't tell friend from foe. One eye would pop out to better allow him to witness the sheer fucking murder he was committing, and boy oh boy did he commit some sheer fucking murder. I think in one warp spasm he killed like 70 men
Ace1122331 I'm from Ireland, I grew up with most of the Celtics legends, and the most prevalent stories for cu chulainn his rage form is more so that of a werewolf
lilboy NYC since when are Norse gods broken/op the way Celtic gods are. If you take the best Norse god from each role and compete it with each of the Celtic gods it’s embarrassing. Artio is kinda even with Faf, Ullr is kinda even with Cern after his buff. Morrigon is just disgustingly broken when used correctly and Cu Chu just dominates every other warrior in the game. Doesn’t matter if it’s Tyr or Odin. Freya is still kinda broken I’ll give you that I don’t feel it compares to the domination of the Celtic gods. Edit: Also Cern >>> Skadi easily
I’ve always found him extremely frustrating to play against. He’s able to run under your tower and fuck you in half at level 2 and walk out with 90% of his HP. I tried playing him and didn’t really get him..(I’m bad at warriors for some reason) but I kept at it and I often have top damage with him with full hybrid cheapie items. He’s simply way too goddamn strong. But he is a lot of fun I really enjoy playing him.
Judging by the fact he said he's bad at warriors, he probably doesn't know how to counter them either. And we all know anyone who doesn't know how to lane against Cu Chulainn will die the moment they hit level 2.
Matt Lindgren Don't forget the free mystical in rage mode. That hurts when your clearing munion waves. Which in turn makes you fall behind cause he pushes minions to tower and start farming in jungle. While your trying to clear wave at level 2.
for level 2, avoid him. Make sure you outclear him at level 1, which will happen with any warrior. Do blue with your jg. Now, on level 2, tag the wave from afar if you can (Osiris 2, Erlang 2, SWK 1) then back off, this will make that if any minion dies, you will still get the exp and gold. Let him clear, this will take his time as berserker if he decides to aa clear so he can try to have his skills to fight you, or waste his skills on the wave to clear. Then you can clear safely, maybe under tower, its still not so bad, all he might get are eles. If you dont have anything to hit the wave from afar, just accept the losses under your tower, with a bit of luck you wont lose a single creep, if he try to zone you, well, its not that bad, his transformation will run out and he wont get any jungle, so you dont lose much. I honestly feel that people lack knowledge of the game, and thats why they lose lane to him. His laning phase really sucks dick unless you let him kill you when he transforms.
Also what the actual fuck is up with the celtic pantheon? We have Morrigan, who at late game is magical loki + every god in the game and was literally broken from launch until halfway through season 4 due to her countless bugs, Cern, who has the most bloated kit of any hunter and still does, just more manageable, Cu Chulainn, as said in the video, and Artio, who is still extremely controversial. Wouldn't be suprised if Geb got some new buffs that completely destroy his balance now that he has that new celtic druid skin.
LtDuckers The celtic pantheon are born from Ireland and Scotland, me being from Ireland just know you don't win in a fight once we get angry or anything else dwarves were based around us in most fantasy settings being small and incredibly physically strong
I just think the concept of Cu Chulain is flawed. All stance switchers have 2 kits, but sacrifice their ultimate. Cu Chulain has 2 kits, except has his stance switch as his passive so he keeps his ults. Instead of having 6 normal abilities and 0 ultimate like a normal stance switcher, he has 6 normal abilities and 2 ultimates.
Fafnir technically speaking is only an ult short in terms of abilities compared to Cuchulain. And tyr is an ult and 1 ability short. But also Chu's stance "change" is conditional, yeah it not hard to get to max rage while in lane. But in a teamfight with no minions? Its a bit harder. You have to risk more to get it out. The main issue I see everyone complaining about is how he can build rage, then pop out all of a sudden then get everything off then do it all over again. If he has to start every teamfight with a base 25 starting rage compared to sitting at 60-75 rage, he would be way more manageable, as one would be able to react accordingly. Like fafnir easily has the most buffs to his kit when changing stance, but its a long as fuck transformation. While every other stance change in the game is not buff but complete ability changes. And Chu sits somewhere in the middle, only change to his abilities being added CC. No increase in damage, just cc. I personally think that if they reduced his rage generation from both abilities and taking/dealing damage, and maybe nerfing the transformation itself would he be more balanced.
Because hea not a fling stance switcher but a shapeshifter, the first we have in the game. Stance switchers have no ult, shapeshifters usually change their ultimate
Discordia? Really? What's wrong with her? She seems to be the best god release balance wise in a while. Her one is okay. Her escape sucks her madness thing has a wind up and her ultimate is buggy.
Future Venture Yeah that goes a long way in making him so damn frustrating. Look at this vid. He really doesn't even use the CC from berserk form to chase the kills down, just the knock up ult and stab them in the ass until they die lol.
Very good video and I agree with you on most of the points made, however, there are a few things I want to adress: 1) Cu Chulainn's Ultimate has a 90s Cooldown on the live servers. On Smite Wiki it says 75 but that is incorrect 2) His Rage regeneration is extremely slow (I think it is 1 rage every 3s or so). The problem is, at least that's what I think, he gains rage when he takes damage which can add up in a team fight. The base regeneration though is not really problematic in my eyes.
I think we'd all be happy if they just made it so rage couldn't regenerate to 25, his 1 didn't have anti-heal, and one of his ults wasn't CC immune. I like the idea of a warrior with high damage but the problem is not only does he have high damage he also can't really be shut down. He has a leap, a knockback, a rumble, a knockup, 2 CC immunities... I mean FFS. he's A WARRIOR and he does more damage than everyone on the team. Not to mention the fact that he has a built in Nike Ult. Anyone who's saying he's not broken is a fucking moron. Yes, he 'can' be stopped, but so can every god, the difference is it usually doesn't take the entire fucking team to shut down the other ones.
Ony Xerxes The reason why they made both his ults cc immune is because he would be trash since you could cancel out his ultimate like Erlang then he would be really weak. He also lacks some sustain expect from glad or soul and potions. He is considered a “squishy” tank until he goes berserk that’s when he is an actual tank and deals a lot of damage.
You also do realize without his berserker form he is useless and warriors are suppose to take an entire team to shutdown? Do you see a Hercules get shutdown by just the hunter? No the hunter has to run away from him and have his tanks to peel and since mages are usually next to the hunter to keep each other safe the mage has to get involved and help out the hunter as well and sometimes the assassin will as well. So that’s usually 4-5 people a warrior can keep busy during a team fight.
i think the reason they convert mana and mp5 stats is because of certain items giving extra stuff for instance hide of the urchin just gives him health nearing 300 instead of 250 and getting heartward just gives him sustain and support his team at the same time
I had a friend who mentioned playing him in solo, now this is a guy who plays competitive in league (even though he's like bronze it still helps with the experience) and has some general knowledge on actually playing smite, and talked about having dominated a game as cu chulainn. The reaction I kept to myself "good on you for doing good as the king of solo lane and one of the scariest gods in the meta IN SOLO... like there is actually no point in bragging about it" vs. what I said "I'm almost impressed except... it's cu chulainn so it really isn't that difficult for someone with a solid amount (hour or two) of experience"
I think a better god for the "passive stance-switch" would be Sekhmet/Hathor, where Hathor would be a healer while Sekhmet would be aggressive; however, I can see both of them having balanced ults or a lower range, and they'd probably be either a warrior or a hunter.
I love how he always has an option to box the enemy provided you don’t power level his abilities. And that in the solo lane if you rage without your ult you can rage again on the next minion wave using your ult and guess what, he has his rage ult back up cos it has a 30 second cool down
I remember playing as cu and going into a legit 1v5 with an enemy team that wasn’t stupid except for maybe their jungler, but I ended up taking out their support, jungler, and mid, while I forced the hunter to back. Only reason I died was I completely forgot they had a solo herc
I think the CC that you mentioned is the main problem. Literally every other warrior has either no hard CC or one good hard CC/combo that you can beads as an ADC or mage. Herc has the pull/push combo, Tyr has the fearless/power cleave combo, Osiris has the tethers, Ama and Bellona both have stuns, but on their ults, etc. etc. If any other warrior dives the backline, they could use their CC and force beads or push the backline out of the fight. Cu Chu, on the other hand, can dive the backline and hit with a knockup, stopping the backline from retreating, then root them, then push them, then tremors them. Note also that the knockup and tremors are AOE, so he's probably hitting multiple gods with those. He has those four hard CCs while most other warriors have just 1. It's stupid.
Any warrior does a shit ton of damage when they build tanky. I.e Vamanas passive gives him physical power for building protections. Hercules does 500 damage with his driving strike with all protections. This shit is nothing new.
Feed Cola fair I guess but him more than others. Or flip the scale on it. Level 1, you get his rage up, youre hitting 80s and killing your ememy in just basics at level 2
Feed Cola But Vamana has one cc ability and one escape with 2 damaged focused habilities. Cu chulain has a knock back, knock up, cripple, whatever his monster ult does, anti healing, area of efect dmg per second, 2 separate ultimares with stupid cooldowns, anti healing, 2 scape based abilities being also used as damage, freaking basic attack range like fucking awilix passive and all that while being tank as fuck. There is no example with other warrior, he is fucking op and that's it.
I've been playing this god since release, and I agree. I loved the rage concept so much, I knew he would be considered busted sooner or later. I just hope when the nerf/rework comes out they don't make him ass, I've been looking for the right warrior for almost 2 years and I finally found that in cu chulainn. All I ask from hirez is to be gentle lol.
As many have said, and just took place to me, the tower does absolutely 0 once we hit level 5, and I wasn't able to hit hard enough to out number the damage he did to me. Is there any way to beat cu chulainn as a hunter in duel? I played Xbal, and it was like I wasn't even hitting him
i actually like the no mana aspect. i think hirez should make more or/and rework some gods in order for them to have other form of "mana". but that would need a rework on some items. like, one god that instead of mana bar have a segmented bar. for each segment he can use an abilitie, two for ult. something like that, i dont know, im not a game designer. but that would bring diversity. about EVERYTHING ELSE, you're totally right. it seams like hirez saw fate /stay night and wanted to make a op god from lancer
I think a lot of the bullshit about cucu would be fixed is he had a lower CDR cap than everyone else as a special negative passive. Also if he has some rage fall off by not being in combat that would make him much more manageable and tbh he could do without some of the small shit you bring up like the long AA range Plus hes the only god with 2 ults, you struck on something good there if you could interrupt at least one of them or if both of them were smaller AoE he wouldnt feel as OP.
If I were going to balance him, I'd target his Laning phase and his ultimate. Make the ultimate at best rage neutral (ie hitting 3 targets means he doesn't lose rage hitting less than 3 loses some rage). Or, make the circle a little bit smaller, not hugely smaller but not fucking geb ult size. Oh and take away the minion stun on his 1. Now he no longer wants to get hit by his opponent because he doesn't get to ignore minion agro if he clips the enemy god with his 1.
I ve never played him but it's awful that he is so broken! He looks like a very cool concept but with so many flaws its ridiculous! Great video again Duke 💪💪
The anti heal in his kit is coz Gae Bolg's lore describes it as a cursed spear that deals wounds that cannot be healed. Or at least that's what the Fate wiki says.
This is what happens when you give a god sustain, power and mobility on their kit. Usually you have to make them weak on one of those areas to keep it balanced. Its fine for Hel's kit or Anubis/AMC damage to be ridiculous because their mobility is lacking, they have a severe weakness that makes counterplaying against them possible. But when you give a god decent mobility, decent damage and self-sustain on top of that its an instant recipe for an op god. Not just the Celtic gods but Sol and Susano also used to be broken for this same reason. Easiest and most radical fix for both Artio and Cu Chu is to drastically nerf their mobility. When their dashes suck, they're not as powerful anymore. Discordia hits like a truck but her dash is kinda crap so she's not as broken, because any assassin worth their salt can bully them out of the fight before it even begins. You can't do that with gods which are fast, do good damage and can stay in a fight for long periods of time. Ra and Hel were both nerfed by removing most of their mobility and as a result they're in a much more balanced state.
I think he is fine right now. Most players just need to know how to play against him and to punish his aggressiveness. I have seen a ton of players who were facing a Cu Chulainn who just used his jump on them just for a little bit more rage and don't attack him, even though he would have to ult to get away if you would all jump on him....
Okay story time, I played this god in an Assault game, and I had no idea how to play him... suddenly I was getting first blood, and 3-4 kills ahead than anyone in my team and basically lead my team to victory.. AND THAT WAS WITHOUT THE BERSERK MODE. THAT'S HOW BROKEN HE IS.
Idk if Duke will see this comment but just so ya'll know Cu Chu's ult is on a 90 second cooldown even though the description says it is on a 75 second cooldown. Also, his ult in berserk form applies a TREMBLE, not a fear like Hun Batz's ult.
There's a bit of misinformation in this video, and I get that it's a rant so it helps get the point across. Cu cu cachoo's ultimate is a standard 90 seconds like Geb's. Not 75.
Ajax watches this and then says to himself "so what you're saying is we should buff him some more" XD. But seriously this is the one god that when I go up against in top lane I find myself saying "I can't do anything against this" and when I jungle and see him on the enemy team I just stick around top lane to make sure he doesn't farm my top laner
I feel like Smite is feeling the effects of power creep. Every new God that comes out now has some form of HARD crowd control, regardless of what role they are. It's gotten to the point in which gods that don't have at least 1 or 2 cc abilities, they are low tier.
The thing I hate the most of Cu is it's easy for him to dive the back line kill the adc and mage and not be stop or punish. He has the best world of an assassin and a warrior. He dumpsters on squishy and can face tank everything especially if he up ahead. And with so much damage built all tank can kill squishy with full combo and chase them down with his 2 while your just running for your life hitting your face on the keyboard when the screen turns gray
I thought I might come back to this video, because I agree so god damm much. I have played him for myself (mostly in arena to make dumb builds) and its not a case of "if he starts snowballing" you win, Its when he starts which can be very early if you do not keep on top of him. I even tried the all Sheild build challenge in a clash... casually 1v3's a herc, Kali and Chang'e WTF is this 9_9
You forgot that if he transforms at level 1 he has 3 abilities, not just the 1 he'd normally have. At first I thought it was just getting the mystical mail when he transforms at lvl 2 but, no at level 1 he gets the dash too
Can I point out in my opinion they buffed him unintentionally in the same patch by nerfing magical protection so his mystical mail witch he always gets dose more damage usually lol
LoL, I can't believe that I missed this video until now. Gonna go play more Cu Chu now and *laugh* and *laugh* as I think about your rant video as I play him.
and you are ok with Nox? with 2 cc's on her root AND her silence, which cancels abilities bein already used IS a HUGE AoE and does insane amount of dmg, not to mention she has a dash on top of 2 cc's so she more safe than many of the mages without escape and/or cc and on top of that, she has a long range ult WITH a cc immunity frame ofc...ALSO her dash can save her for like 8 secs if she dashes into someone...im actually morre ok with Cu, at least he has SOME cooldowns on his cc
Nox is good but she isn't anything approaching broken. Actually landing your silence grab combo is already very hard and on top of that she also don't have basically any good clearing abilities. You can use your escape to kill them but then you are vulnerable until its back online (clearing with your escape is a bad idea). Your grab literally does nothing to them. You can use your bubble but then you have no damage to attack with basically until the next wave at which point you need it again. Also escaping into someone isn't as good as it sounds as you can't do anything or control where you are going. The number of times that I've died because someone carried me back into battle and my imminent death is staggering. Also if the person you are inside of dies you take damage too.
Hey Duke. I feel like youve gotten a lot better with your speech the last couple months. You sound a lot more interesting and more entertaining. Good job!
Omg duke. Dude you're actually killing your voice for this rant! I can hear it properly at 11:00. Take breaks man XD nice vid :) ... and then you said it. Your voice is dead wtf bro did you just read my mind in the future from the past?! O.O
As someone who played Cu Chulainn like crazy once he came out, I will admit his base damage was kinda OP. But I played a match as him recently in 4.22 and my damage was terrible. I couldn't even kill a Loki like I used to.
I hate to be that guy and I"m not saying he's not busted as hell, but the anti heal on the 1 makes a little bit of sense at least lore wise. His spear is supposed to prevent healing. Keep up the great work duke, love your vids! :D
Honestly tho you can do this with every god to make them sound op than they are. (Mythymoo does it in his real god reaveals). For ex : Hercules IS SO OP AND ANNOYING. YOU CAN EMPTY YOUR ENTIRE KIT ON HIM AND HE WILL JUST REGENERATE IT ALL UNLESS YOUR WHOLE TEAM BUILDS ANTIHEAL. HE HAS A FRICKIN STUN + KNOCKBACK ON 1 ABILITY THAT HAS HIGHER SCALING THAN ASSASSINS WTF!! AND ADDING INSULT TO INJURY, HE HAS ANOTHER CC ABILITY BECAUSE 2 CC IN ONE ABILITY IS NOT ENOUGH (DUHH). HE GETS A PULLBACK WITH HIS 2 THAT IS EASY TO HIT BECAUSE OF HOW INSTANTANEOUS IT IS, RESULTING IN MILLIONS OF DEATHS OF EVERY SQUISHY UNLESS THEY HAVE 50 BEADS. AND HIS ULT GRANTS HIM CC IMMUNITY BUT ALSO HAS THE HIGHEST BASE DAMAGE OF ALL PHYSICAL ABILITIES. And no no no... that's not enough. IT CAN BOUNCE BACK AND HIT YOU ANOTHER TIME FOR HALF THE DAMAGE RESULTING IN HALF HITS TO SQUISHIES. AND IT IS EXTREMELY GOOD IN TEAM FIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE BOULDER HITBOX. Oh and have I mentioned... HE GETS MORE POWER FROM HIS DAMN PASSIVE. TOO STRONG PLEASE NERFFFF. P.S : no offense at all to duke, he probably knows more than I will ever do in the game.
Well your comparison with snipers is a fallacy in the regard that sniper rifles are high skill floor weapons. While Chu is fairly low skill floor. Also how can the one and only non-hitscan weapon class be op in a rapid pace, players zipping around in 4 directions game op?
The first point in the advanced bullshit you should’ve mentioned how he has to back to regen that rage back and for when you compared herc to him Hercules has a heal and damage mitigation so he’s instead of another damage item which is insanely powerful and I wish I could have that on cu chullian
when we talk about such things in the steam forum we are called noobs that don't know how to play. it's good to see a well known smite content creator and long time player talk about it.
I fear the day we get a Celtic assassin. If Artio, Cu Chulainn, Cernunnos, and The Morrigan were any indicators, that assassin is going to be all sorts of bullshit.
I love how people in the comments think that "He is balanced because you can counter him, even thought it is hard". That's not only the fact that he is hard to counter, it's also the fact that every idiot could play him. Is it fair to have a god that literally everybody could be able to play, but only experienced players are able to counter? And by the way, as Dukesloth pointed out, he has way to many unnecessary bonuses, (anti-healing, longer basic range, movement speed..) wich also contributes in making him too powerful.
I Didn't think he was OP until I played a game of assault and played him for the first time. Literally got like 13 kills and 20 something assists with 2 deaths and id never even tried him before. He's way overpowered. He's so hard to kill and does way too much damage. His rage is BS. He needs mana like everyone else and not all the extra BS that makes him so hard to kill.
Cameron MacRae the fun part is when you have a toxic cu cu main in your team and starts talking shit to the jungler, its like if you have an anime avatar your opinion doesnt count. Xd
Yeah cu cu mains are gross. Almost as bad as Loki mains... Loki mains never fail. If there is a Loki main on your team absolutely everything that happens to him is your fault, every time that Loki dies it is absolutely YOU'RE FAULT, and there is nothing that he can do to be any better because he is the best damn assassin of all time and if you disagree then he'll just spam "you rock" sarcastically while he solo pushes a lane away from his whole team using his decoy move like the savage he is.
He is so much fun to play, but so frustrating to play against, I hope they find a way to make him a bit more fun and interractive (no kappa) Edit: I actually didn't know about the qin's sais thing when it comes to shields. Also how do protections effect shields?
Didnt you know Cu Chulainn was some kind of unstoppable dog in the lore? Cmon man. You gotta keep it in line with the lore.... Teams with Nike always win and teams with Cu Chulainn always let him 1 v 5 the enemy team. It's what he was born to do. Pls no nerf.
I see Duke is competing with Adapting for that "is actually Cu Chulainnn irl" title! _But yeah the dude's pretty stronk they'll probably nerf him again tomorrow_
I don’t see how there’s so much hate for him like the damage makes sense you build no defense everything is going to hurt that’s just basic fairness I would be just happy with some nerfs into his base damage and make it so his 2 doesn’t offer the speed in normal form and don’t offer the extra power in his stance abilities but into his basics just like how Baka’s butcher blades,as for fighting against him I don’t have any issues with him and this is coming from a person who mains Chacc like the reason he can win lane is from his heal but yet I go in with the knowledge of what chu can do I let him use his one and avoid it pop my heal and run at him with my ult and 2 and I win most brawls with him besides enemy ganks
the biggest argument i see for cu is "he isn't doing anything in ranked." you can't do anything in ranked if you are first ban 99.9% of the time.
im top elo normally and idc if someone says they want him or not him and artio are ban 1 and ban 2
TheDashing 1 😂😂😂😂
TheDashing 1 right and when he is picked he's mostly shitting on the other solo or the other warrior is under there tier 2 while he hits your t1
EXACTLY and when he gets through even if you shit on him in the solo lane (I have done with Sun and Herc) doesnt matter because team fights he dives and destroys and too tanky for me to beat him smh
TheDashing 1 a big hing imo is that he has no mana so wins lane easier
Jesus. Not very often you see Duke get genuinely angry. Haven’t seen him this mad since those Tyr buffs from the end of Season 3.
Turtlenator6 I miss meta Tyr
Tyr was fun
"Not very often you see Duke get genuinely angry"
I'm sorry but do you watch his twitch streams? He by no means is always angry, but he gets pretty pissed sometimes, and it's not per se a rare occurrence. And, don't take this the wrong way. I love Duke, but the man does get heated more than "not very often". (Though I have noticed that his temper has been a LOT better recently, which props to him for doing, this game is fucking agonizing)
Don't really watch any streamers so I wouldn't know about those incidents.
He's almost always calm in his videos and takes time to discuss things over, which is good and actually the reason why I subbed to him a long while back. His streams though? Anything goes, and it's a GREAT time
In fairness for the anti heals it fits with his lore in which any wound with his spear can’t heal though I won’t deny he is a bit excessive
Curious to hear about the lore on the whole rage form thing. But honestly some crucial lore facts about gods should be included in their kits. Like, almost any named weapon in any mythology has its purpose which should be reflected in game. SWK's staff. Amaterasu's Sword, Thoth's Book, Apollo's (or Helios's) Chariot. I dont think they should pass on items like these and the lore surrounding them when designing a kit. And honestly, Its a fucking line ability with anti heal. Dont we have any other fucking abilities like that? Oh right Sobek's Cone, Change's Heal. The description is only long due to the stance, and detail of rage generation.
He would get so mad he would enter a "warp spasm" where he basically turned into Mr Hyde and couldn't tell friend from foe. One eye would pop out to better allow him to witness the sheer fucking murder he was committing, and boy oh boy did he commit some sheer fucking murder. I think in one warp spasm he killed like 70 men
Thoth had sold his book to everyone.
Austin Ellacott he killed an entire army in his warp spasm alone
Ace1122331 I'm from Ireland, I grew up with most of the Celtics legends, and the most prevalent stories for cu chulainn his rage form is more so that of a werewolf
All Celtic gods are broken or op
Undead Rogue TV don't forget Norse gods
I wonder how OP they'll make the Assassin? Then the whole Pantheon won't make it through P/B
Undead Rogue TV lmao so freakin true what the heck is up with the celtic pantheon
lilboy NYC since when are Norse gods broken/op the way Celtic gods are. If you take the best Norse god from each role and compete it with each of the Celtic gods it’s embarrassing. Artio is kinda even with Faf, Ullr is kinda even with Cern after his buff. Morrigon is just disgustingly broken when used correctly and Cu Chu just dominates every other warrior in the game. Doesn’t matter if it’s Tyr or Odin. Freya is still kinda broken I’ll give you that I don’t feel it compares to the domination of the Celtic gods.
Edit: Also Cern >>> Skadi easily
Morrigan, Cu chulainn, Cernunnos, Artio all broken
I’ve always found him extremely frustrating to play against. He’s able to run under your tower and fuck you in half at level 2 and walk out with 90% of his HP.
I tried playing him and didn’t really get him..(I’m bad at warriors for some reason) but I kept at it and I often have top damage with him with full hybrid cheapie items. He’s simply way too goddamn strong.
But he is a lot of fun I really enjoy playing him.
What did you do at level 1 to let him fuck you up that much at level 2? Not clear wave and just aggressively box him?
Judging by the fact he said he's bad at warriors, he probably doesn't know how to counter them either. And we all know anyone who doesn't know how to lane against Cu Chulainn will die the moment they hit level 2.
Ace1122331 it’s more just that he gets a free extra set of abilities, extra damage, and a big shield that lets him do whatever he wants
Matt Lindgren Don't forget the free mystical in rage mode. That hurts when your clearing munion waves. Which in turn makes you fall behind cause he pushes minions to tower and start farming in jungle. While your trying to clear wave at level 2.
for level 2, avoid him. Make sure you outclear him at level 1, which will happen with any warrior. Do blue with your jg. Now, on level 2, tag the wave from afar if you can (Osiris 2, Erlang 2, SWK 1) then back off, this will make that if any minion dies, you will still get the exp and gold. Let him clear, this will take his time as berserker if he decides to aa clear so he can try to have his skills to fight you, or waste his skills on the wave to clear. Then you can clear safely, maybe under tower, its still not so bad, all he might get are eles. If you dont have anything to hit the wave from afar, just accept the losses under your tower, with a bit of luck you wont lose a single creep, if he try to zone you, well, its not that bad, his transformation will run out and he wont get any jungle, so you dont lose much.
I honestly feel that people lack knowledge of the game, and thats why they lose lane to him. His laning phase really sucks dick unless you let him kill you when he transforms.
Also what the actual fuck is up with the celtic pantheon? We have Morrigan, who at late game is magical loki + every god in the game and was literally broken from launch until halfway through season 4 due to her countless bugs, Cern, who has the most bloated kit of any hunter and still does, just more manageable, Cu Chulainn, as said in the video, and Artio, who is still extremely controversial. Wouldn't be suprised if Geb got some new buffs that completely destroy his balance now that he has that new celtic druid skin.
Artemis and Terra have Celtic skins, so if anything, they'll _nerf_ Geb. :V
LtDuckers The celtic pantheon are born from Ireland and Scotland, me being from Ireland just know you don't win in a fight once we get angry or anything else dwarves were based around us in most fantasy settings being small and incredibly physically strong
i was shocked when i first saw cernnunos’ kit
I just think the concept of Cu Chulain is flawed. All stance switchers have 2 kits, but sacrifice their ultimate. Cu Chulain has 2 kits, except has his stance switch as his passive so he keeps his ults. Instead of having 6 normal abilities and 0 ultimate like a normal stance switcher, he has 6 normal abilities and 2 ultimates.
Fafnir technically speaking is only an ult short in terms of abilities compared to Cuchulain. And tyr is an ult and 1 ability short. But also Chu's stance "change" is conditional, yeah it not hard to get to max rage while in lane. But in a teamfight with no minions? Its a bit harder. You have to risk more to get it out. The main issue I see everyone complaining about is how he can build rage, then pop out all of a sudden then get everything off then do it all over again. If he has to start every teamfight with a base 25 starting rage compared to sitting at 60-75 rage, he would be way more manageable, as one would be able to react accordingly. Like fafnir easily has the most buffs to his kit when changing stance, but its a long as fuck transformation. While every other stance change in the game is not buff but complete ability changes. And Chu sits somewhere in the middle, only change to his abilities being added CC. No increase in damage, just cc. I personally think that if they reduced his rage generation from both abilities and taking/dealing damage, and maybe nerfing the transformation itself would he be more balanced.
On top of have basically unlimited mana plus cc
Well the fact he has rage is supposed to nerf that. The rage is suppose to be a disadvantage.
Because hea not a fling stance switcher but a shapeshifter, the first we have in the game. Stance switchers have no ult, shapeshifters usually change their ultimate
I mean tyr doesn't use his ultimate for his stance switch but I see what you are saying.
When i first played chu chulain for the first time i was surprised at how you can get top damage and build nothing but defense
*cough* any guardian *cough*
Ninja Phoenix I agree but you need the right defensive items
Hou Yeet nah you only need mystical
Cough any warrior cough cough
Thats any solo
Lets... Lets just remove the Celtic pantheon and start over
Spare my morrigan though please QQ
Roman Samko morrigan and chu chu r some bullshit lol
Roman Samko lmao. Camt wait for their assassin xD
Deicide.
Cernunnos is good.
i love being double ulted under tower at level 5 really makes me moist mmmmm.
thats cause ur noob. if u play right u would die. ur prob only gold or plat
GUMMEBEAR huh
lol dont understand too
GUMMEBEAR if you would play right you would die wut????
Absolutely agree. Now where's the Artio rant, or the "i have the biggest and easiest CC in the game that guarantees a one-shot" Discordia rant.
Xoxor ikr ???
Artio rant already happened, easy search if you want to watch it. :)
artio isnt that bad anymore her cc is easily interupted and you just shit on her early and she does terrible from behind
Artio rant already happened lol
Discordia? Really? What's wrong with her? She seems to be the best god release balance wise in a while. Her one is okay. Her escape sucks her madness thing has a wind up and her ultimate is buggy.
(The healing reduction on his 1 has Lore reasons)
(In his Lore: His enemys weren't able to heal wounds which Gae Bolg caused)
I have 4 quadras with him, 3 on the same day.
dayum
Just fought a cu chulainn aphrodite strat 😔

+CeriseArt lmao
I'm glad someone finally addressed this. Thank you, Duke.
His basics felt with more range, was wondering if that was his normal range
Future Venture Yeah that goes a long way in making him so damn frustrating. Look at this vid. He really doesn't even use the CC from berserk form to chase the kills down, just the knock up ult and stab them in the ass until they die lol.
Very good video and I agree with you on most of the points made, however, there are a few things I want to adress:
1) Cu Chulainn's Ultimate has a 90s Cooldown on the live servers. On Smite Wiki it says 75 but that is incorrect
2) His Rage regeneration is extremely slow (I think it is 1 rage every 3s or so). The problem is, at least that's what I think, he gains rage when he takes damage which can add up in a team fight. The base regeneration though is not really problematic in my eyes.
I think we'd all be happy if they just made it so rage couldn't regenerate to 25, his 1 didn't have anti-heal, and one of his ults wasn't CC immune. I like the idea of a warrior with high damage but the problem is not only does he have high damage he also can't really be shut down. He has a leap, a knockback, a rumble, a knockup, 2 CC immunities... I mean FFS. he's A WARRIOR and he does more damage than everyone on the team. Not to mention the fact that he has a built in Nike Ult. Anyone who's saying he's not broken is a fucking moron. Yes, he 'can' be stopped, but so can every god, the difference is it usually doesn't take the entire fucking team to shut down the other ones.
Ony Xerxes well his anti heal actually fits his lore so keep also tldr sorry
Since when did Hi-Rez really care about lore? What the fuck does any of Da Ji's abilities have to do with her nine tails?
And are you actually so stupid that you think reading a paragraph is 'too long,' lmao
It would take you all of a minute.
Ony Xerxes The reason why they made both his ults cc immune is because he would be trash since you could cancel out his ultimate like Erlang then he would be really weak. He also lacks some sustain expect from glad or soul and potions. He is considered a “squishy” tank until he goes berserk that’s when he is an actual tank and deals a lot of damage.
You also do realize without his berserker form he is useless and warriors are suppose to take an entire team to shutdown? Do you see a Hercules get shutdown by just the hunter? No the hunter has to run away from him and have his tanks to peel and since mages are usually next to the hunter to keep each other safe the mage has to get involved and help out the hunter as well and sometimes the assassin will as well. So that’s usually 4-5 people a warrior can keep busy during a team fight.
i think the reason they convert mana and mp5 stats is because of certain items giving extra stuff for instance hide of the urchin just gives him health nearing 300 instead of 250 and getting heartward just gives him sustain and support his team at the same time
TFW when you get war flashbacks every time you hear Cu's Berserk transformation sound effect.
Really well done rant Duke!
Where-a-ya goin
I had a friend who mentioned playing him in solo, now this is a guy who plays competitive in league (even though he's like bronze it still helps with the experience) and has some general knowledge on actually playing smite, and talked about having dominated a game as cu chulainn. The reaction I kept to myself "good on you for doing good as the king of solo lane and one of the scariest gods in the meta IN SOLO... like there is actually no point in bragging about it" vs. what I said "I'm almost impressed except... it's cu chulainn so it really isn't that difficult for someone with a solid amount (hour or two) of experience"
I think a better god for the "passive stance-switch" would be Sekhmet/Hathor, where Hathor would be a healer while Sekhmet would be aggressive; however, I can see both of them having balanced ults or a lower range, and they'd probably be either a warrior or a hunter.
Every game with a Cu Chulainn ends with Cu Chulainn having top player damage and 10+ kills, honestly its a great time to be alive.
I love how he always has an option to box the enemy provided you don’t power level his abilities. And that in the solo lane if you rage without your ult you can rage again on the next minion wave using your ult and guess what, he has his rage ult back up cos it has a 30 second cool down
Really liked this video lmao
be careful Duke, a dramamachine is just commented your video
Kevin K. Lol
Kevin K. Be careful duke, a salty boi just commented on your video
MisterQuake lol pls don’t make a video on me too
MisterQuake i’ll pay you 0,57 dollars
I remember playing as cu and going into a legit 1v5 with an enemy team that wasn’t stupid except for maybe their jungler, but I ended up taking out their support, jungler, and mid, while I forced the hunter to back. Only reason I died was I completely forgot they had a solo herc
I think the CC that you mentioned is the main problem. Literally every other warrior has either no hard CC or one good hard CC/combo that you can beads as an ADC or mage. Herc has the pull/push combo, Tyr has the fearless/power cleave combo, Osiris has the tethers, Ama and Bellona both have stuns, but on their ults, etc. etc. If any other warrior dives the backline, they could use their CC and force beads or push the backline out of the fight. Cu Chu, on the other hand, can dive the backline and hit with a knockup, stopping the backline from retreating, then root them, then push them, then tremors them. Note also that the knockup and tremors are AOE, so he's probably hitting multiple gods with those. He has those four hard CCs while most other warriors have just 1. It's stupid.
He does so much damage even when built tanky. Its literally not even fair
brundain1 You receive more damage even by standing next to him and basic attacking. Also they usually get thorns so... FML
TheArthur2107 and possibly even nemean lion. Its a great time
Any warrior does a shit ton of damage when they build tanky. I.e Vamanas passive gives him physical power for building protections. Hercules does 500 damage with his driving strike with all protections. This shit is nothing new.
Feed Cola fair I guess but him more than others. Or flip the scale on it. Level 1, you get his rage up, youre hitting 80s and killing your ememy in just basics at level 2
Feed Cola But Vamana has one cc ability and one escape with 2 damaged focused habilities. Cu chulain has a knock back, knock up, cripple, whatever his monster ult does, anti healing, area of efect dmg per second, 2 separate ultimares with stupid cooldowns, anti healing, 2 scape based abilities being also used as damage, freaking basic attack range like fucking awilix passive and all that while being tank as fuck. There is no example with other warrior, he is fucking op and that's it.
I've been playing this god since release, and I agree. I loved the rage concept so much, I knew he would be considered busted sooner or later. I just hope when the nerf/rework comes out they don't make him ass, I've been looking for the right warrior for almost 2 years and I finally found that in cu chulainn. All I ask from hirez is to be gentle lol.
*the spongebob advance darkness meme* XD
I get your point, he a little...
As many have said, and just took place to me, the tower does absolutely 0 once we hit level 5, and I wasn't able to hit hard enough to out number the damage he did to me. Is there any way to beat cu chulainn as a hunter in duel? I played Xbal, and it was like I wasn't even hitting him
i actually like the no mana aspect. i think hirez should make more or/and rework some gods in order for them to have other form of "mana". but that would need a rework on some items. like, one god that instead of mana bar have a segmented bar. for each segment he can use an abilitie, two for ult. something like that, i dont know, im not a game designer. but that would bring diversity.
about EVERYTHING ELSE, you're totally right. it seams like hirez saw fate /stay night and wanted to make a op god from lancer
I think a lot of the bullshit about cucu would be fixed is he had a lower CDR cap than everyone else as a special negative passive. Also if he has some rage fall off by not being in combat that would make him much more manageable and tbh he could do without some of the small shit you bring up like the long AA range
Plus hes the only god with 2 ults, you struck on something good there if you could interrupt at least one of them or if both of them were smaller AoE he wouldnt feel as OP.
I played him a lot when he came out... I thought the buffs were waay too much. Glad to see I was right.
If I were going to balance him, I'd target his Laning phase and his ultimate. Make the ultimate at best rage neutral (ie hitting 3 targets means he doesn't lose rage hitting less than 3 loses some rage). Or, make the circle a little bit smaller, not hugely smaller but not fucking geb ult size. Oh and take away the minion stun on his 1. Now he no longer wants to get hit by his opponent because he doesn't get to ignore minion agro if he clips the enemy god with his 1.
I ve never played him but it's awful that he is so broken! He looks like a very cool concept but with so many flaws its ridiculous! Great video again Duke 💪💪
The anti heal in his kit is coz Gae Bolg's lore describes it as a cursed spear that deals wounds that cannot be healed. Or at least that's what the Fate wiki says.
Don't know if anyone else said this but his ultimate is on a 90 second cd, at the point in the video you mention it the cd is at 77 seconds.
This is what happens when you give a god sustain, power and mobility on their kit. Usually you have to make them weak on one of those areas to keep it balanced. Its fine for Hel's kit or Anubis/AMC damage to be ridiculous because their mobility is lacking, they have a severe weakness that makes counterplaying against them possible. But when you give a god decent mobility, decent damage and self-sustain on top of that its an instant recipe for an op god. Not just the Celtic gods but Sol and Susano also used to be broken for this same reason.
Easiest and most radical fix for both Artio and Cu Chu is to drastically nerf their mobility. When their dashes suck, they're not as powerful anymore. Discordia hits like a truck but her dash is kinda crap so she's not as broken, because any assassin worth their salt can bully them out of the fight before it even begins. You can't do that with gods which are fast, do good damage and can stay in a fight for long periods of time. Ra and Hel were both nerfed by removing most of their mobility and as a result they're in a much more balanced state.
What is the song in the background threw out the video?
I think he is fine right now. Most players just need to know how to play against him and to punish his aggressiveness.
I have seen a ton of players who were facing a Cu Chulainn who just used his jump on them just for a little bit more rage and don't attack him, even though he would have to ult to get away if you would all jump on him....
One time a mate of mine played Aphro and I played Cu. I almost felt bad for how broken it was. Their kits work in sync and it’s devastating.
Okay story time, I played this god in an Assault game, and I had no idea how to play him... suddenly I was getting first blood, and 3-4 kills ahead than anyone in my team and basically lead my team to victory.. AND THAT WAS WITHOUT THE BERSERK MODE. THAT'S HOW BROKEN HE IS.
Grated, the dude is _amazing_ in Assault. Gamemode all about careful sustain management and he doesn't need to give a shit.
You forgot to mention that in his berserk form that 2nd ability with the mystical mail is permanently active like a passive.
Idk if Duke will see this comment but just so ya'll know Cu Chu's ult is on a 90 second cooldown even though the description says it is on a 75 second cooldown. Also, his ult in berserk form applies a TREMBLE, not a fear like Hun Batz's ult.
Ok apparently Hi-Rez finally decided to change the text description to show that his ult is on a 90 second cooldown.
This guy clearly hasn’t played against Gnar in League. Cu Chulainn is a blessing compared to his moba counterpart.
Just a side note: Chulainn's spear inflicted wounds that were impossible to properly heal from, which is why he's got 50% anti-heal in the kit.
Wow I was literally mind blown at 8:16 😮 he really never brought it up wow
There's a bit of misinformation in this video, and I get that it's a rant so it helps get the point across. Cu cu cachoo's ultimate is a standard 90 seconds like Geb's. Not 75.
I"m pissed about this berserk mode thing. Where the fuck does it say in his history that he turns into Hyde?
As soon as you get his ult you can 1v2
What’s next? The morrigan rant?
Ajax watches this and then says to himself "so what you're saying is we should buff him some more" XD. But seriously this is the one god that when I go up against in top lane I find myself saying "I can't do anything against this" and when I jungle and see him on the enemy team I just stick around top lane to make sure he doesn't farm my top laner
Tokumastu Etriari are you trolling mate? Nobody says "top lane". It's solo or short lane.
Duke is acting like he can't be countered easy
Totally legit sorry force of habit from league, I know it's called solo lane I've just always referred to it as top
What's top lane?
Enemy stando it's solo lane, it's just that in league of legends it's referred as Top lane
I feel like Smite is feeling the effects of power creep. Every new God that comes out now has some form of HARD crowd control, regardless of what role they are. It's gotten to the point in which gods that don't have at least 1 or 2 cc abilities, they are low tier.
The thing I hate the most of Cu is it's easy for him to dive the back line kill the adc and mage and not be stop or punish. He has the best world of an assassin and a warrior. He dumpsters on squishy and can face tank everything especially if he up ahead. And with so much damage built all tank can kill squishy with full combo and chase them down with his 2 while your just running for your life hitting your face on the keyboard when the screen turns gray
I thought I might come back to this video, because I agree so god damm much. I have played him for myself (mostly in arena to make dumb builds) and its not a case of "if he starts snowballing" you win, Its when he starts which can be very early if you do not keep on top of him.
I even tried the all Sheild build challenge in a clash... casually 1v3's a herc, Kali and Chang'e WTF is this 9_9
You forgot that if he transforms at level 1 he has 3 abilities, not just the 1 he'd normally have. At first I thought it was just getting the mystical mail when he transforms at lvl 2 but, no at level 1 he gets the dash too
He's hot though
"Hey, just so you know, gaining 16 rage per god hit for swinging my Gae Bolg" -Dukesloth, 2017
Can I point out in my opinion they buffed him unintentionally in the same patch by nerfing magical protection so his mystical mail witch he always gets dose more damage usually lol
That Gae Bolg was meant to penetrate Archer's Rho Aias
LoL, I can't believe that I missed this video until now. Gonna go play more Cu Chu now and *laugh* and *laugh* as I think about your rant video as I play him.
The ults should not have different cooldowns and his 2 maybe should not be active always in the beserk mode. That way I think he would be ok
and you are ok with Nox? with 2 cc's on her root AND her silence, which cancels abilities bein already used IS a HUGE AoE and does insane amount of dmg, not to mention she has a dash on top of 2 cc's so she more safe than many of the mages without escape and/or cc and on top of that, she has a long range ult WITH a cc immunity frame ofc...ALSO her dash can save her for like 8 secs if she dashes into someone...im actually morre ok with Cu, at least he has SOME cooldowns on his cc
Nox is good but she isn't anything approaching broken. Actually landing your silence grab combo is already very hard and on top of that she also don't have basically any good clearing abilities. You can use your escape to kill them but then you are vulnerable until its back online (clearing with your escape is a bad idea). Your grab literally does nothing to them. You can use your bubble but then you have no damage to attack with basically until the next wave at which point you need it again. Also escaping into someone isn't as good as it sounds as you can't do anything or control where you are going. The number of times that I've died because someone carried me back into battle and my imminent death is staggering. Also if the person you are inside of dies you take damage too.
Hey Duke. I feel like youve gotten a lot better with your speech the last couple months. You sound a lot more interesting and more entertaining. Good job!
Jeez DukeSloth, calm down will ya...
...laddy
Never thought about it like that. I have to try this before patch
Omg duke. Dude you're actually killing your voice for this rant! I can hear it properly at 11:00. Take breaks man XD nice vid :)
...
and then you said it. Your voice is dead wtf bro did you just read my mind in the future from the past?! O.O
Hi Rez employees be like:
warrios are breaking the game? LETS NERF SUPPORT ITEMS INSTEAD OF BASE DAMAGE
As someone who played Cu Chulainn like crazy once he came out, I will admit his base damage was kinda OP. But I played a match as him recently in 4.22 and my damage was terrible. I couldn't even kill a Loki like I used to.
I hate to be that guy and I"m not saying he's not busted as hell, but the anti heal on the 1 makes a little bit of sense at least lore wise. His spear is supposed to prevent healing. Keep up the great work duke, love your vids! :D
Honestly tho you can do this with every god to make them sound op than they are. (Mythymoo does it in his real god reaveals).
For ex : Hercules IS SO OP AND ANNOYING. YOU CAN EMPTY YOUR ENTIRE KIT ON HIM AND HE WILL JUST REGENERATE IT ALL UNLESS YOUR WHOLE TEAM BUILDS ANTIHEAL. HE HAS A FRICKIN STUN + KNOCKBACK ON 1 ABILITY THAT HAS HIGHER SCALING THAN ASSASSINS WTF!! AND ADDING INSULT TO INJURY, HE HAS ANOTHER CC ABILITY BECAUSE 2 CC IN ONE ABILITY IS NOT ENOUGH (DUHH). HE GETS A PULLBACK WITH HIS 2 THAT IS EASY TO HIT BECAUSE OF HOW INSTANTANEOUS IT IS, RESULTING IN MILLIONS OF DEATHS OF EVERY SQUISHY UNLESS THEY HAVE 50 BEADS. AND HIS ULT GRANTS HIM CC IMMUNITY BUT ALSO HAS THE HIGHEST BASE DAMAGE OF ALL PHYSICAL ABILITIES. And no no no... that's not enough. IT CAN BOUNCE BACK AND HIT YOU ANOTHER TIME FOR HALF THE DAMAGE RESULTING IN HALF HITS TO SQUISHIES. AND IT IS EXTREMELY GOOD IN TEAM FIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE BOULDER HITBOX. Oh and have I mentioned... HE GETS MORE POWER FROM HIS DAMN PASSIVE. TOO STRONG PLEASE NERFFFF.
P.S : no offense at all to duke, he probably knows more than I will ever do in the game.
What do u Think about that anubis Got removed?
People who try to say he isnt op r like people who call fusion rifles op in destiny or snipers op in cod
Well your comparison with snipers is a fallacy in the regard that sniper rifles are high skill floor weapons. While Chu is fairly low skill floor. Also how can the one and only non-hitscan weapon class be op in a rapid pace, players zipping around in 4 directions game op?
Modernwarhero snipers take negative skill though or I'm just cu chulain or something 😏
Snipers on CoD are totally retarded, the bullet doesn't even have a delay. Battlefield is the real deal.
The first point in the advanced bullshit you should’ve mentioned how he has to back to regen that rage back and for when you compared herc to him Hercules has a heal and damage mitigation so he’s instead of another damage item which is insanely powerful and I wish I could have that on cu chullian
Also you compared cu chullains damage on his jump to Hercules pull a jump should do more than a pull because it puts you in a more dangerous location
I don't know if you write the script or you just angrily rant into a microphone but either way I really enjoyed this video.
+1 for u ❤️
when we talk about such things in the steam forum we are called noobs that don't know how to play. it's good to see a well known smite content creator and long time player talk about it.
Alternate title: Inter3ct steals Dukesloth's voice and goes on crack
I fear the day we get a Celtic assassin. If Artio, Cu Chulainn, Cernunnos, and The Morrigan were any indicators, that assassin is going to be all sorts of bullshit.
Oh wait, we already have The Morrigan aka magical Loki...
I love how people in the comments think that "He is balanced because you can counter him, even thought it is hard". That's not only the fact that he is hard to counter, it's also the fact that every idiot could play him. Is it fair to have a god that literally everybody could be able to play, but only experienced players are able to counter? And by the way, as Dukesloth pointed out, he has way to many unnecessary bonuses, (anti-healing, longer basic range, movement speed..) wich also contributes in making him too powerful.
I Didn't think he was OP until I played a game of assault and played him for the first time. Literally got like 13 kills and 20 something assists with 2 deaths and id never even tried him before. He's way overpowered. He's so hard to kill and does way too much damage. His rage is BS. He needs mana like everyone else and not all the extra BS that makes him so hard to kill.
Cameron MacRae the fun part is when you have a toxic cu cu main in your team and starts talking shit to the jungler, its like if you have an anime avatar your opinion doesnt count. Xd
Yeah cu cu mains are gross. Almost as bad as Loki mains... Loki mains never fail. If there is a Loki main on your team absolutely everything that happens to him is your fault, every time that Loki dies it is absolutely YOU'RE FAULT, and there is nothing that he can do to be any better because he is the best damn assassin of all time and if you disagree then he'll just spam "you rock" sarcastically while he solo pushes a lane away from his whole team using his decoy move like the savage he is.
this isnt even my final form said the might cu chulin
The sec Sun Wukong seems strong gets nerfed into the ground. Meanwhile Bellona and Cu Chu are left unchecked.
He is so much fun to play, but so frustrating to play against, I hope they find a way to make him a bit more fun and interractive (no kappa)
Edit: I actually didn't know about the qin's sais thing when it comes to shields. Also how do protections effect shields?
"up with assassins, down with all other gods!" If he was a assassin would he need a Buff?
Artio: he's Celtic it's OK For Him to be op RIGHT RIGHT
Didnt you know Cu Chulainn was some kind of unstoppable dog in the lore? Cmon man. You gotta keep it in line with the lore.... Teams with Nike always win and teams with Cu Chulainn always let him 1 v 5 the enemy team. It's what he was born to do. Pls no nerf.
Just a quick note: berserk ult is a tremble, not a fear.
Still op lul.
His berserk form can make up 2 to 3 levels in solo Lane. Once he gets his berserk form you're pretty much screwed.
I see Duke is competing with Adapting for that "is actually Cu Chulainnn irl" title!
_But yeah the dude's pretty stronk they'll probably nerf him again tomorrow_
I like cu chulain. Hes so OP. Just smashin fools. "COMIN FOR YOU LADDYS!"
I don’t see how there’s so much hate for him like the damage makes sense you build no defense everything is going to hurt that’s just basic fairness I would be just happy with some nerfs into his base damage and make it so his 2 doesn’t offer the speed in normal form and don’t offer the extra power in his stance abilities but into his basics just like how Baka’s butcher blades,as for fighting against him I don’t have any issues with him and this is coming from a person who mains Chacc like the reason he can win lane is from his heal but yet I go in with the knowledge of what chu can do I let him use his one and avoid it pop my heal and run at him with my ult and 2 and I win most brawls with him besides enemy ganks
Angrier than rage form with mystical mail
Deaths Toll Thor
They should just bring him back to release (excluding glitches and keep the shield nerfs or put them somewhere in the middle)
How to balance Cu Culainn: make the 2 forms abilities share the same cooldown
Cu is the Irish Hercules after all. No matter it be Fate or Smite, he's bound to be strong as hell
I like how there is no Achilles rant...
I like that the OP characters are starting to be tanks instead of burst mages or assassins.
