Tell me why i was playing against some friends and i dashed into a kuzenbo with a god (i dont remember who) and he literaly turned me around and did that.
I see a lot of y’all saying Nike is the worst god. I’m a diamond Nike and I 100% agree she needs at least one of her abilities reworked but she’s definitely not the worst. Her passive is just so incredibly powerful your actually giving every member of your team including yourself a free item. All you do is play passive sit at your tower line and wait, waste you lane opponents time and eventually your team will have such a massive advantage that the enemy team can longer fight you. Sure she doesn’t do much damage but that’s not her role. She is a passive bot/ meat shield and you will win most of her games if you just remember that
Yes, you're so right. They can't balance her because her passive is literally OP (she consistently has the highest win rate of any god in Conquest) and the rest of her kit is so boring and basic that no one wants to play her anyway. They need to nerf her passive so they can buff the rest of her kit without making her broken AF. Make the 2 an actual ability, for example!
@@pipedreambomb She's very easy to counter, you cc her clear and she is stuck doing two cleave attacks and struggling to clear. She loses lane against every warrior pretty much and her passive isn't as OP as it seems, it got nerfed a lot. 6% movement speed and 8% power. That's only once you kill 250 minions , two allies lvl 20 and also 10 gods killed by team. There are much better passives in the game.
baalcifer she builds guardians so it doesn’t matter if you put clear her. Losing or winning one is irrelevant because in the end your only goal is to not feed. 8% of 1000mp is 80mp pretty much an item and it also gives 6 percent movement speed which is the difference between shoes of the magi and travelers shoes. Also if you build travelers shoes in mid you will have an additional 6% movement speed which is basically ms cap and that’s just your mid. Your jungler and adc will also receive 8% of around 400Phys =32 power plus the same ms boost. Let’s also not forget that these attributes are boosted by buffs. red buff alone gives a 20% power buff to its holder. That would change our magical number to 1300 giving the holder an additional 100 power. Yellow buff. Gives max movement speed. Also your can receive the benefits of Nike passive in increments allowing you to snowball small leads much faster.
@@joemonreal4494 so if she builds Guardian she isn't getting those 250 minions for her passive. the two allies at lvl 20 is going to take a while , at least like 22 - 24 minutes. If the game is very passive then getting 10 kills might take awhile.
I've commented this before but I'd like to see if Smite's characters can pass the silhouette test. Becuase before watching I have no clue who is in the thumbnail.
that's almost exactly how i imagined a bastet buff should be. give her a second pounce basicaly similar to nemesis dush but does no damage where she can actualy do something about an escape or chase because right now once you go in if the players know what to do they will hit you with a hard cc and someone will be waiting at the spot you pounce back to to shut you down. her 2 is slow and i can't tell you how many times it got interupted by a stun or knock up basicaly forcing me to just pounce back or out instead of going for it again for survival reasons. speed it up x2 and give it some other functionality as well instead of just damage, she only has 1 slow in her kit with no other cc. her 3 is okay in my opinion, i would still want a bit more damage to it and probably a stun if you hit them with it and pounce on them or something like that but it's still okay as it is as long as she gets something else in her kit. as for her cats.. they are a complete joke. the last use they had was gone when the minion tower backdoor protection removal got taken out. the cats are only viable early and even then they are really easy to be taken out. late game they are simply done for in under half a second and the only use they have is to basicaly try to slow someone down for a few seconds or block a couple of autos and that's only if the enemy abilities are down so to not clear the cats instantly. i have no clue as to how they could get fixed, the ability simply can't work mid/late game.
I'd prefer a second jump instead of a return as well. I think her 2 is fine, maybe increase it's base damage and make it's DoT smaller to compensate. Her throwing dagger could honestly be completely replaced with something else imo, though idk what yet. I think her cats should have scaling timed invincibility like Tusky when summoned, like 1/1/2/2/3 seconds where they can't take damage or be CC'd with something like Khumba's mesmerize. They'd still be easy to kill but you'd be able to at least confirm a little damage at the end
I would make the ult like that, Summon 3 cats, they seek out and pounce on the nearest enemies, crippling them for a second and applying a stack of bleeding. The animation for that would be similar to arachnes old two, where she jumped on the back and latched on.
Francis Harkins I know what they’re trying to do: they’re showing their superiority. Believe me, I’ve experienced it whole. Being Susanoo main playing with Ymir is really makes me feel like a masochist.
@@yegorlarychev9810 Try being an Arthur main and having your bonus damage spin get cock blocked or get thrown under the bus during an escape and wasting a whole dash on a bloody icecream sandwich. At least they aren't bad to fight compared to the immortal guardian builds. I never wanna see Jorm and Aphrodite working together in joust ever again thanks to that bs.
Francis Harkins how do you build those guardians, ive been trying to become that unstoppable dude but i cant figure out how to tank a whole team and survive
I have Nike diamond I think you need to play passive and be smart with your ult and 2 And you will be able to tank, deal damage frontline and save allies with your ult slow
She has a simple kit. And because of how simple her kit is, you NEED to plan out your abilities. She is good and her passive is OP definitely not bad. Im a diamond Nike as well.
@DukeSloth do you think that the change to Bastet's leap would work? What I have in mind is having her normal first leap as it works now, but also having the ability to jump the second time with 50% reduced damage. So in other words you'd give her more chase potential, slightly more damage, and more unpredictability.
I feel like they should buff Bastet's 2 in general and make her cats harder to kill as some gods can just completely nullify her ultimate with a one of their abilities
I think hades is the worst god this is because his idea is a mage who puts himself out of position.... at least arachne and bastet complete there role correctly although they need buffs btw I'm a hades main I should know
I think Hades' whole design was still made with him being a guardian in mind. If he finds a niche, it's probably somewhat closer to Zhong than other mages.
DukeSloth it’s weird because hi rez Ajax responded to me on a stream saying that he feels hades is in a ok place then they buff him in the next patch. I do like the movement speed buff but he still feels bad and awkward to play where as baron and zong just feel better for that style. Do you think he just needs a re-kit?
The problem is that Hades is almost like a better Anubis, in that they have very similar play styles (High damage, risky to pull off), except he has more utility (In the form of a heal and AoE CC). While Anubis will generally do better, it is mostly down to him being easier because there is no transition you have to pay attention to (Just focus on killing a target all game, where as Hades has to at some point start being more team fight oriented).
@@NotGatt Not salty. I play other modes too. But the game ist simply based around conquest which is why nobody takes other modes seriously. Exeptions exist of course
I do very very good with bastet. Idk why everyone saying shes bad.. Her clear is great her 2 and 3 hit like a truck. Ive had no issues with her as of lately and in season six she feels very strong. Compared to alot of assassins like loki who have been massively nerfed. Her kit guarantees kills if you know how to body block your target with your cats..
i remember when Nike first came out people praised her basic attacks and complained about how OP her kit is "sun's 1 X3 bellona's ult for an escape 2 relics for an ult" and now everyone thinks it's weak
Bastet just needs a rework. Simply assassins with no hard cc are never good, the only one that ever was good was Nemesis but that was because her ult has utility and she had strong burst, way stronger than bastets, and didnt even have to use her mobility for it, let alone her extra shield. They need to change something with her leap, either making it less predictable or making it not necessary for her burst damage. They need to zone in on one of her abilities and make that her clearing one, lowering the cd a bit, whether that be the 2 or the 3. Either one of which also needs to have their animations decreased, especially the 2. Either the 2 or the 3, whichever one that wasnt made the primary clear, needs to have some more cc added to it, like say her 3 now has a root. And then they need to do something with her ult... either make a whole new one or give it something that makes it benefitial in the late game. They also could change her passive in some way, maybe for a hard cc rather than in one of the abilities. Like say her 2 makes the target marked in some way, and when said target is struck from any damage from bastet they are stunned or something. She just needs something that makes her have more potential in team fights, mostly through some sort of cc and an ult that isnt only effective on objectives or duels.
I don't know about adding more cc to her kit outside her ult... Because she's so focused on damage over time, you don't need to cc them, just hit your abilities and pounce back. I think that's what's fun about her and annoying to play against. But maybe they could give her a root on her ult like Skadi's? I feel like her ult and her early clear are what really suck.
Oh i have an interesting rework for bastets leap. She gets 2 leaps similar to nemes's 2 dashes. The caveat is that only on of the leaps does damage in the same radius it has now. You can select if youd like the initial leap to do the damage if the enemy or camp is close enough by pressing 1 then left click the next 1 then left click will have a window in which you can use it again before going on cooldown but the subsequent leap will not do damage. The other option is you can click 1 twice then left click (so 1->1-> left click) to save the damage radius for your second leap. This would be optimal in the case of an enemy being farther away or baiting the enemy to use up their escape option to avoid the damage but you saved it for the chase. This rework would buff her mobility and her escape would be less telegraphed. Maybe the distance of the leaps could be limited by the devs t balance. Something that i decided to leave out of the initial idea because i feel it might be too out of balance is if her non damaging leap had a sort of cc like a stun or a root applied to it similar to kali's. It would be very hard to make this instacast which is one problem i have with my idea as well.
Sorry but how does that whould work with quick and instant cast? Because the time you press 1(and left it), she has already jumped without any left click needed, with those options.
1. No escape- while playing him I saw issue that if someone has any combo Ready or you'll not play safe enough, you will surely regret that. 2. Easy contras- I played vs him kinda a lot. Today I was playing the Baron vs him, and I don't think Baron has any escape abilitys. And I still was able to escape from most of his atackas. The most succesfull thing he did was stuning me and using his ult. Sure he was trying to stun me and then do the ground zombies thing but that still wasn't working enough. And no I wasn't using any iteams or amulets for escape. Second thing, I'm kinda new player in Smite, still learning much and doing a lot of mistakes and still I could counter him endless times.
I play the other modes, i despise conquest, but i can safely say that if you love bastet and want to play her, she is a very safe and useful pick in arena. Precasting her jump before a teamfight and then running in, dropping your kit then jumping back to your backline is a very safe and effective strategy. Sure other assassins have more pentakill potential if you play assassins for snowball like kali or thanatos, but she is very consistent and hard to shutdown. If you can bait and dodge cripples, you're effectively unkillable. My last ten bastet matches all end with 10+ kills, 30-40k damage dealt, and 1-2 deaths max, often going deathless. I definitely see why she would be weak in a conquest setting though, no argument there.
To be honest the bastet's problem is a problem that is shared with a lot of the older gods that survived the initial fallout of some the niché older gods a few seasons ago and they received buffs to help them keep up. Remember when art's boar insta-died late game and didn't have those extra seconds of immunity and the 2 didn't have movement speed. It was a long time coming that the survivor's of that period would falloff eventually given the fears of power creep back then. It's a problem shared by hade's 3, Hun batz's 2, bastet's 2 & 3, Isis 1 & 3, and to a lesser extend Agni's 2 (though the stun combo could justify this delay to be honest) and that is the pre-cast animation being too long for the ability's overall value, smite's time to kill has speed up over the years and the game has moved away from a meta of telegraphed attacks, and from a design perspective with such shift there should be a revised maximum pre-cast time for smite basic abilities; since am sure to a newer player these long pre-cast delays just look awkward and plays out awkwardly for what they do.
Personally, I think Camazotz should be on that list. The only CC he has is his 2 which is a slow. Has little no to mobility, his leap might be the shortest in the game alongside Discordia (correct me if I'm wrong). Does very little damage after all the nerfs he got earlier this season. We're left with a God with moderate sustain (not insane, he's got his healing nerfed too!), little to no CC, moderate-ish damage and no mobility.
No camazots is pretty decent camazots counter one the only assassins in Meta rn cam is pretty good in the solo lane because of sustain with camazots you want to play solo not jungle and eith his blood pools you can stay in lane
@@fernandosantana7503 You can definitely stay in lane and build pressure...but then what? Pressure means close to nothing and during the teamfights you're not gonna be terribly effective.
@@fernandosantana7503 I Like As To How You ACTUALLY Think My Brother Cama Is ACTUALLY Viable In Smite With His Tiny Ass Heals And Pathetic Early Game,You Must Be Unable To Realize That THERE ARE ACTUAL WARRIORS IN THIS GAME THAT ALSO HAVE SUSTAIN...
Camazotos was if not the worst god they've released in a while. Considering his kit is VERY basic and boring. His 1 and 2 should be different. The rest is alright but his main damages are line attacks that doesnt seem assassin like at all
For bastet: -double pounce if you hit an enemy -in built antiheal for the 3 -you spawn 5 cats instead of 3 and in a circle radius at medium range, they dont slow anymore, just in the radius I wanna see your thoughts!
Yes I agree. I mostly play arena and each of these gods can be very effective in that mode. I love Hades in arena. He can be absolutely devastating, even without using his ult. Isis is great in that mode as well
I have some ideas to make Nike better. -Change the passive -Make the two part of the ultimate -Make the two into another wave clear attack like a cone or spin attack,so she can still clear after she gets CC'ed -Maybe add some buffs from her current passive to her ultimate(add a damage and protection buff to allies that stand in her ultimate aura) -Increase the duration of the ultimate or increase the shield and make the ultimate end when she loses all of her shield -Maybe add a crowd control to her 2 since she has no other hard CC other than her escape
Dumbest comment I’ve ever read, yeah becuz they balance character for Zero reason lmfao. Becuz people obviously use everyone and not just the clearly better characters
I agree. Take the time and every god is good. Honestly, there were some gods I thought were bad, until I got the hang of how they worked and now I love them. So now I take every god with a grain of salt and don't judge any as bad. All these gods on this list I have seen as truely devastatingly awsome when in the right hands. Ignore TheMonsterTrio. His is the dumbest comment I have ever read.
For me Loki is the worst god, maybe not in the matter of performance (even tho he IS bad), but I know he performs even better than Bastet in jungle, but my point is something you mentioned on a recent video about him, he's easy enough to one-shot a squishy (which makes no sense to be able to do that with just 2 abilities and 2 Hydra's procs) and that helps to make him maybe the most hated god, but also he totally lacks teamfight potential, and thus he's not only hated by enemies but also by his teammates. So this guy has no place, maybe not even in the game, everything he does is being a pain for everyone
Watch meerkat UUIC vs Carlston I think. He displayed the true cancer of Loki in the right hands with a competent team. Other than that yes... Hes an annoyance on both the team and the opponents.
Never again will I refer to Sisi as the goddess of magic, but instead the goddess of demonetization. That subtle humor you have is what makes you great Duke.
Bastet sucks in conquest, ill give you that but her early game is insane in joust/duels. Id say that nike is probably the worst god from an overall performance perspective, duel is worthless, joust she can't even get her passive maxed until 35 min and her teamfight is just a 5 second slow with low damage. Her solo is not half bad but lacks in comparison to someone like bellona which has great clear and a great teamfight ultimate. I think she needs a buff to her passive or just a new passive in general and maybe a rework to her 2 which only changes her abilities slighty and gives her a pathetic boost in HP5.
In a teamfight, Bakasura is the absolute worst god you could have on your team. He has no hard CC outside of his ult (which is unreliable at locking people down), and his heal is so situational that the buffs you get, or heal you need, will never be there when you need them. He is built to get ahead, a character made for outrotation. Even so, the second it isn't a 1v1 he becomes pure garbage. Being able to gank mid or solo x2 doesn't help how absolutely terrible the kit is. I feel like the thing they should do is get rid of his kit entirely. It's completely outdated and needs to be removed. A new kit that uses true damage, pets, and a bite in there somewhere would be fine, but his current state is trash outside of duel.
The thing is some people think that worst god = under powered, but it is not because if you buff those gods there is others that gonna take their place. i honestly wouldn't had though of Bastet ever sense i play her and still get the job don and carry my team nd get top damage (yes she is not the best but doesn't mean she cant get the job don)
h7oda mazika ideally you want all the characters in the game to be very close to the balance point so it’s much more debatable which characters are the worst. Smite has for sometime now been falling through the snowball effect for power creep with new gods being much much stronger than earlier gods which is why the 5 mentioned are all very old and have kits that don’t really fit what smite is now. I agree that being the worst doesn’t mean being bad always for instance the worst player on a NFL team is still a phenomenal athlete but that also means he can’t really compete with top tier NFL talent. I hope I made my point clear but just in case. You’re right worst doesn’t always mean bad but in this case the worst are in fact very bad
@@joemonreal4494 That "ideally" can never happen there is always gonna be worst character in every game till the game dies. specially with the addition of new gods without looking at old gods power (intentionally) just to make people play that new god. and no in this case worst is not very bad unless maybe vs pro players and even then Bastet was getting picked by pro players less than one year ago so i wouldn't say she very bad sense nothing really changed except she getting buffs.
@@joemonreal4494 Worst god change from one person to another it is just opinion. also the meta should not keep changing and the game should stabilize if hi rez really care about players. unless you have nothing else to do but playing smite you don't really want the game to keep changing unnecessary.
@@h7oda793 How can the meta not change if they want to release new gods? Same with new items or relics. As long as they add content to the game the meta will change.
Bastet is a hit and run assassin and that what she excels at so to bring her back into the meta change her 1 so it's like xing tians "leap" but to balance it make it so she can only jump back in the opposite direction but it doesn't have to be the same spot. The hit box would be a the location where she will jump and there would be a ah puch ult like hit box behind you where you can jump back to safety. As for her ult take elements from skadi's dog so they tackle bit/grab pulling them back to bastet the enemy god for 1-2 secs. The damage would only be the grab at a much lower scaling but the enemy god would take increased damage from bastet. Do that and she'll be a (at the very least) A+ god who can dive in set up a kill and dive out hit and run assassin.
What do you think of giving Bastet two jumps like Nemesis dash. Jump in deal your damage and then jump out. Although this would make her escape too powerful given the distance of her leap. So then make it like Achilles 3? Like, maybe you get a second jump if you deal damage with your first jump, or if you deal damage in a 3s window after your first jump so that you're not required to actually hit the jump and then can use it to gap close.
I can see this in conquest, but Anubis and Isis are great in casuals, they are such pub stomp gods, buffing them would be like buffing Loki, it would be chaos.
with Arthur around the corner that might change if he jungles on a serious note, isis is alright God, but knock up wont be enough when you have gods that other uses like stun and cripple. not to mention that her abilities require to land and if you have an opponent that knows how to juke, then your effectiveness drops drastically, not to mention there are better gods that can hit harder too
The problem I have with Baster is that her abilities just feel like there is a long windup on them outside of the 3. One thing which I wonder if it could be done is that putting the pounce cooldown on when you first land seeing as it is adding 4s to its cooldown. It just feels like Baster is a lost cause since she doesn't do anything better than anyone else. Sure getting heartseeker and 1 3 2 someone will kill them but that's true for most gods and the kill time is alot lower. The 4s pounce timer doesn't feel long enough when your abilities take 4s to wind up ;_;
Dont get me wrong duke i love your videos i watch since 2016, but i people saying there's bad and good god even i do. But it feels like people are never happy about what they have look a Baka he was really bad and not in the META for 2 years maybe now they buff him and now people complains that he'a broken and this happen with a lot of gods. Maybe its just me and i dont understand people 😶
Problemz 29 in my eyes hirez is shit at balancing gods, like take a character like hers, she was originally total garbage, and know she is banned pretty much ever ranked game. Hirez either makes huge buffs that either make or break a character, or tiny buffs that really don’t affect much, like bastet 2 second cooldown reduction. Also characters like Susano I remember being very broken, and know he is rarely played. I wouldn’t be surprised if hirez has never played there own game.
@@CosmicGamingPlays balancing a 90 characters game is quite hard . Look at league and see all the obsolete champs there and that game is way bigger than smite now
One thing that keeps confusing me with Bastet is that her return jump doesn't do damage. It's not all she needs, your explanation of the 2 actually makes so much sense idk how I hadn't noticed the delay before, but it would just make so much more sense to me if you could double-jump people o.o
Bastet is pretty good on console, i know your not talking about console but i'm just tossing in my two cents. Bastet seems to be better on consoles then pc, i play her almost religiously as an assassin carry or jungle and she does pretty well as a carry. Maybe she's just another case of a god in the wrong class.
I've never seen her do anything but feed on console, personally. I tried playing her in ranked recently and couldn't understand why it went so badly, given she's so easy to play. Checked the stats and yeah she has one of the worst win rates despite her kit being so simple that anyone should be able to play her pretty well and safely. I agree with Duke that she needs some major help.
I really enjoy playing Isis, she's so fun and feels rewarding to play when you get kills, objectives, etc. And I agree with you 100%. I hope Titan finds a way to make her and a bunch of other gods better this coming season because it's annoying seeing the same gods being played over and over again. Enjoyed the video!
with bastet they should make it when you hit them with your 2 then your 3 they get a 2-second stun or something or just rework her with a new ult or make it where the cats can be thrown out a lot further and add the Argo mechanic where you can pick the targets
Jing Wei is the most garbage god in smite by far... 0 damage, 0 wave clear, only really useful against knock ups. She can get to lane quick and escape, that is it
@@dermongooseplays5500 Honestly no, I mean I believe you but that is because if I am put with a Jing wei or I get randomed to Jing Wei, I auto leave, I would rather waste 5 minutes and a little bit of FP than play a full game with a jing wei. She is in my personal opinion the worst balanced character in a video game as she is literally worthless
Alex MacLellan Looks like you just don't like the character and refuse to play with it. I won't bother to change your mind as that would in of itself be a bigger waste of time.
Jing Wei is easily one of the best gods out there. Once I got the hang of her it was a breeze dominating with her. Just an overall fun god tobplay with.
The fact that cabrakan is there surprises me. Maybe in competitive he might not be that good, but in casual you can become loki as him. Please try it, it's really fun to play as well
Just because a character isn't valued doesn't make them bad. Ullr is very highly valued and does worse than all but Isis on this list. Really picking Ullr is more of a throw than any of your other picks you mentioned. Just all those other picks aren't considered meta so people aren't driving their winrates down by picking them into everything. The thing about ranked is a lot of it is just this is supposedly strong pick it whenever you can. Which is why you get a lot of picks that are valued way more heavily than they should be. Example Hera is currently the 2nd most pick/banned with a 49.11% winrate certainly not a horrible pick but not something that should really be that highly valued
FidelCatto your insane if you think a Bastet or cabraken is more valuable then an ullr, And Hera is completely crazy if you’ve played against her, she’s banned in almost every game because she’s broken, I don’t know where you found the win rate.
@@CosmicGamingPlays Yes she is banned in almost every game but it isn't like she has a 55%+ wr when she gets picked. In fact at Diamond+ she is banned in 71% of games but wins only 46% when she is picked in which she is picked 14% of the time. Bastet at the same level of play has a 3% pick rate and a 54% wr and Cabrakan also has a 3% pick rate with a 53% wr. Hera is overvalued are Bastet and Cabrakan more valuable not necessarily it is highly likely that most players just toss them under the rug thinking they're useless like you are even though at least when picked into the right comps have a good chance. Also of note the god that Hera has the highest win percentage with them being on her team is Cabrakan. A 46% wr makes sense for a character that may have like a 5-10% pick/ban but at 85% pick/ban that doesn't tell me she's good it just tells me players are stupid. Oddly enough Silver and Gold players value her less and she is an okay pick at that tier at a 51% wr but that's nothing to write home about (Still not worthy of her 81% pick/ban).
Ullr is quicker, has more range, more damage and better cc compared to bastet. He is also less predictable, his abilities are less telegraphed and hit quicker and harder. You cant just look at these values and say oh gods with low win rate are bad. Ullr has low win rate because he is popular and more importantly is hard to play. Some of the best ullr can carry any game in any gamemode, can you say the same about bastet?
FidelCatto You don’t seem to understand that having a broken god in ranked doesn’t Guarantee wins. Ranked is usually one sided for on team or the other because of Matchmaking. Hera currently is arguably the best god in the game
@@TheS0ris as a bastet player, yes i can say i can carry a team at least into midgame, after that bastet is pretty much useless, basically everything that duke says still holds true, im not here to argue that bastet needs work. I am here to argue how terrible ullr is on console, it was hilarious back in the hay day of ullr when everyone tried to play him and noone could hit his abilities. Since then he has become laughable on console, i usually play a bursty assassin (bastet, susanno, arachnea, pele) so when i see an ullr i know ill be junping him alot, pretty much every opportunity. Just thoughts here im not saying either side is right or wrong. I understand on pc certian abilites must be so much easier to hit.
I think a good buff for bastet would be making her 2 faster and making it do all the damage at once while reducing a bit its damge and cd, adding a fourth cat or fifth cat in upper levels and making the cats give a debuff like reducing healing for 30 % and making the targets receive 10% damage increase, this debuff stacking up to 2 times, the debuff being applied with the cats aa, this would make her a strong but no overwhelming god in my eyes at least. PD Numbers should be revised though.
Duke why u trippin, bastet still good af if played by a good person, she my most annoying god to play against, she is not easily countered, u name beads and aegis like dude that's a counter to everything but u only get that once every couple minutes, she has hella low cooldowns, u not gone be able to keep doin that, after the first time u pretty much done for if u not a tank, so annoying to just jump in do hella damage and jump a mile back to safety, u trolling wit this video, gotta be
Any decent player will see her jump in and have an ability waiting for where she jumped from. If she jumps back, her escape is down and she gets destroyed by whoever is waiting for her. If she doesn't jump back, she's stuck in the middle of a bunch of gods with her kit down. She has no significant cc like most similar gods do, so she gets destroyed if she gets stuck anywhere. Her ult is absolutely awful. There is basically no skill involved, it's just a press 4 to win early game and completely useless late game. Late game she brings nothing to the table whatsoever. Not enough burst to actually delete someone, no cc to make up for that, not great at soaking damage, nothing. She is worthless late game, decent early game, and good midgame. Just being good midgame, not even great, is not nearly enough to make up for the horrible late game.
@@Loj84 are you serious you acting like she jumping on you when she two feet away dude she can jump like a whole 20 feet ahead and then run forward for a whole 3 seconds and then use her abilities and then jump all the way back you're not catching her after that, she's so cheap, so her escaping down means nothing when she can make that big of a gap between you in first place and then with cooldowns it's a ridiculously low so she can just keep spamming that over and over again come only a few gods will be able to really damage her the right way in that little amount of time that she's up there, she's the definition of someone annoying
Except her ult does nothing after mid game and any form of CC, especially a cripple, leaves her vulnerable. In a Conquest setting, she's better off in the Duo lane than the jungle right now, and is not being played there either.
Poor Bastet. I like her a lot but man is she bad. Like you said she has so many faults... I don't know what to do to fix her without a redesign, which I wouldn't like at all. I think speeding up her animations, and maybe adding something to her ult or jump could work well. Like enemies hit by her jump are crippled shortly, or her cats gain increased damage to structures, so she can split push again(not as well as the backdoor protections are still there but maybe make it less of an issue with the cats. As for arachne, yeah, finding her best playstyle with this change is going to show where she actually is. making her a glass cannon like weak3n will change nothing with this buff as you'll still use it mostly for escapes. Building her bruiser seems best but she could still get blown up. Maybe we'll find some cool items for her. I would like 1 more thing added to the ult for mostly flavor reasons but it would be a buff: have her spawn spiders on any god hit in the radius. Not sure how crazy the buff would be but I would like it for flavor and fun reasons
The thing is even though she's bad, and I also think she's bad because her kit is trash, has high cooldown and his autos are bad, at least she brings team utility, just by being her your team benefits from your passive, plus her ult is like a massive aoe curse that makes her tanky for fights
Anti heal destroys here full kit. She should be able to kiss multiple gods or anti heal works weaker on here. I mean i never saw here once in conquest.
Bastet is my favorite assassin. I suggest updating her passive to not remove the wound but have every ability hit refresh the wound duration. Also, let her passive apply to her basic attack damage as well. Speed up the ticks of razor whip (or make it 3 ticks of more damage instead of 4) and/or let declaw cripple.
The Morrigan, apparently, is great early game due to low cooldown AND high damaging 2nd skill... but late game... well... almost everyone now has great equipment, and in addition to more powerful skills, she becomes a squishy non-threat. If played wrongly, actually.
Hey I would like to have your honest opinion on my suggestion to smite in what concerns adding actual mermaids to the game instated of skins. You have for example #Iara, an amazon river mermaid from Brazilian mythology . Or even #LaSiren, Loa of the sea and wealth form the Vodoo pantheon. Do you think that they would be much appreciated?
As someone who really likes Bastet, I totally agree she needs some serious buffing. Her kit (especially the ult) just feels so underwhelming in comparison to other assassins to the point where it feels like Hi-Rez/TitanForge have just straight up forgotten about her. Also I really like your idea about giving her leap a sort of second jump instead of the incredibly linear return-to-sender mechanic it is now.
Idea: Give the 2 a scaling cooldown from 14/13 seconds down to as low as 9/8, and give the 3 anti-heal. This would give her at least some options at different points in the game, you could even have the cats refresh the effect of the 2 even thought that might be much
Totally agree about Cabraken. I've actually been doing very well w/Bastet/Isis, but my worst god is one you didn't mention: Hun Batz. He has no strong CC outside of his ult, next to no damage (his passive doesn't really do much), his abilities are slow and predictable, and his teleport is unreliable, to say the least. I can't find any place where he excels. There's no real reason to pick him outside of his ult, and others are better in that regard (e.g Da Ji).
I think you hit the nail on the head on that last Counter bit. There are just too many counter gods/items/relics imo that make certain gods just not viable or useless. I like using Daji/Pele but god forbid they have a full CC team, I can't go in worth a damn. The one time I played Hades in Clash, I just built him like a Guardian cause no other way was I gonna survive, plus got Bumbas or wtv that gives speed to actually get people for my team. I also think that they sometimes give gods too much shit or too little.
As an aspiring Bastet player, I fully agree with your points as they line up with my research. She needs buffs that improve her usefulness and longevity in combat without changing her completely.
I think they should give bastet 0.5s of cripple immune after her leap so she has safer poke and make the 2 tick faster but deal the same damage (it take 4s) and speed the animation up a bit so it doesn't get interrupted all the time. Also if ur gonna give a buff when the cats die, give a speed buff so that if they die, she can either get closer to attack or run away better
I’m kinda surprised thoth was worst? If you can land his shots, he seems to do pretty well. There has been so many times an assassin thought I’d be easy pickings.. boost away, wall, lock, snipe, Ult. Easy kill. I can see some points, as long as he’s with someone, he can be pretty good and the Ult is just amazing when it connects.. so much damage and really shuts down anyone that runs away.. but I don’t do ranks.. just a lotta joust with with Thoth since Arena seems bad for him Edit: Plus if anything, his laugh is op, change my mind
maybe make bastet jump so that if she hits an enemy god with it, then she can jump again. that way it rewards skill by rewarding players who hit it, and that way she can choose where she jumps out. if that is too strong maybe the second one doesnt do damage. if it is too weak, allow her to return to where she normally would (current jump) if she missed (though i think this would be fairly clunky or confusing to fight against)
Simple buff for Bastet, give her the exact same treatment that Kumbha got. If her abilities suck, then just drastically lower their cooldowns so she can spam them all the time, just like Kumbha. Crappy ult isn't that crappy anymore if it comes back online once every 25-30 seconds. Very low cooldowns also combo with her passive.
All these gods have one problem, the old god problem. This game has really started to suffer from bloat. Even though I've loved basically all the recent gods they are just designed with certain roles in mind that more classic gods weren't, because those roles were either not there or very different. My vote goes to Hades, one of my favorites in the game. He's almost melee, a diver, who relies on heals, yet he's not fat and he is *so. damn. slow*. Particularly in abilities. There is an issue where some gods are just made irrelevant by interrupts, and Hades has that issue in spades while not even having the benefits of channeled abilities which other gods have.
I think Isis should revive all teammates that die in her ult when it ignites. The level should determine how much health. Maybe have those revived with a second or two disable applied so it isn’t a complete OP ult. The damage and health that it does now should stay the same. This would make her ult more usable as it has no purpose in healing- anyone needing it will most likely die before ignition or even boosting it. I only use it to combo for a quick finisher as an enemy gets away... which isn’t useful in most cases. I think the rest of her kit is fine, but maybe add HP to her passive. I think Serqet still belongs in the “worst gods” section. She’s one of my favorites, but she’s THE EASIEST god to shut down with basic gameplay- her Ambush isn’t airborn (anything on the ground, damage or ability, will still affect her), her Cobra kiss has short range and doesn’t apply two catalysts if both land, Last Breath can miss/vulnerable to damage during animation/weak damage/short duration. Bastet is mediocre, but she can accomplish more and much quicker than Serqet. I’ve played many matches with snowballing my Bastet (and many bad matches), but Serqet will almost never be in top marks (unless used with damage mitigation). Bastet is boring and can be shutdown just as easily, sure, but she can dish more out than Serqet. I realize that Serqet has a chance for doing serious damage to a single target and can offer better support, but overall, Serqet is always high risk and usually falls behind because of it. She just needs a couple of tweaks that won’t make her OP, but more usable. I still love her, but she requires too much compromise to be an assassin. As for Bastet, they should change her cats to either apply the buff for how many are alive, able to use life steal, or make her wounds apply protection/heal debuff like wounds would really do...
Jonathan Patton I love bastets play style but her ult is... Useless Late game and her kit is bad late game too, I think that Isis needs changes to every ability- her ball should move faster, Her ult needs to be a bit bigger and do something like you mentioned, her 1 needs scaling speed and her dispel magic needs to not last .25 seconds, diminishing returns hit it too hard Serqet still is strong in team fights and is a solid support- she's a lot like fenrir.. It's just he does it better
I just build bastet bruiser. The ult is nice early/midish game. Late game is where the ult problem lies. 700 hp with 60 protections is laughably bad since the cats are 1-2 shot depending on who you're going against. In teamfights they last maybe.....1 second? the leap is ok considering it deals massive damage for a leap that can basically be recalled. Maybe she just needs a better passive too. An extra 20% damage is nice but....you can't really do much with that item wise other then runeforged hammer. Giving the cats more survivability would be the ideal choice but that might make them too strong then. Another idea could be being able to control the cats so that they don't all group up and take massive damage from one source. Make them spread out. another idea is to remove the power gained when they die and instead....reduce the ult Cd by alot. Because honestly...there has not been many times where the power gained from the cats was noticed...let alone used. either the I get the kill and move on or I'm too low to continue and need to back anyway. If damage wasn't so high in this game maybe the cats would be much better.
She has almost no CC, I can't think building her bruiser is going to do anything but make you do less damage. I'd put her in the same category as Loki or Bakasura.. if they're not dealing a lot of damage, there's really nothing else they are bringing to fights.
I feel like The goddess of demonetization is usually used wrong. I have her diamond and if built correctly, she has frequent and useful cc, her ultimate can be one of the best team fighting ults in the game, it is absolutely one of the best objective secures in the game, and her mobility can help her peel if you use gem of iso, all of which makes for a solid mage. You just can’t play back with her, you need maximum aggression out the gate and use your 1 to escape getting punished for it. I feel like there are a lot of way worse gods than her. But her model does make her look like the goddess of spina bifida
My list; Osiris (underwelming) , agni (pls buff my boy), vamana(rework him, he needs it), kuzenbo(buff his ult), and Terra ( very strong support, but her kit is solely support and assist based that she is semi useless by her self)

i laughed the moment i saw that XD
Tell me why i was playing against some friends and i dashed into a kuzenbo with a god (i dont remember who) and he literaly turned me around and did that.
I see a lot of y’all saying Nike is the worst god. I’m a diamond Nike and I 100% agree she needs at least one of her abilities reworked but she’s definitely not the worst. Her passive is just so incredibly powerful your actually giving every member of your team including yourself a free item. All you do is play passive sit at your tower line and wait, waste you lane opponents time and eventually your team will have such a massive advantage that the enemy team can longer fight you. Sure she doesn’t do much damage but that’s not her role. She is a passive bot/ meat shield and you will win most of her games if you just remember that
Yes, you're so right. They can't balance her because her passive is literally OP (she consistently has the highest win rate of any god in Conquest) and the rest of her kit is so boring and basic that no one wants to play her anyway. They need to nerf her passive so they can buff the rest of her kit without making her broken AF. Make the 2 an actual ability, for example!
@@pipedreambomb She's very easy to counter, you cc her clear and she is stuck doing two cleave attacks and struggling to clear. She loses lane against every warrior pretty much and her passive isn't as OP as it seems, it got nerfed a lot. 6% movement speed and 8% power. That's only once you kill 250 minions , two allies lvl 20 and also 10 gods killed by team. There are much better passives in the game.
baalcifer she builds guardians so it doesn’t matter if you put clear her. Losing or winning one is irrelevant because in the end your only goal is to not feed. 8% of 1000mp is 80mp pretty much an item and it also gives 6 percent movement speed which is the difference between shoes of the magi and travelers shoes. Also if you build travelers shoes in mid you will have an additional 6% movement speed which is basically ms cap and that’s just your mid. Your jungler and adc will also receive 8% of around 400Phys =32 power plus the same ms boost. Let’s also not forget that these attributes are boosted by buffs. red buff alone gives a 20% power buff to its holder. That would change our magical number to 1300 giving the holder an additional 100 power. Yellow buff. Gives max movement speed. Also your can receive the benefits of Nike passive in increments allowing you to snowball small leads much faster.
@@joemonreal4494 so if she builds Guardian she isn't getting those 250 minions for her passive. the two allies at lvl 20 is going to take a while , at least like 22 - 24 minutes. If the game is very passive then getting 10 kills might take awhile.
baalcifer they’re team goals not her goals. I’m starting to think you haven’t actually played her yet.
10:29 *JESUS, THAT'S TERRIFYING!!!*

@@joemonreal4494 what??
Alex Mercier idk I thought I commented that on another comment
that's almost exactly how i imagined a bastet buff should be. give her a second pounce basicaly similar to nemesis dush but does no damage where she can actualy do something about an escape or chase because right now once you go in if the players know what to do they will hit you with a hard cc and someone will be waiting at the spot you pounce back to to shut you down. her 2 is slow and i can't tell you how many times it got interupted by a stun or knock up basicaly forcing me to just pounce back or out instead of going for it again for survival reasons. speed it up x2 and give it some other functionality as well instead of just damage, she only has 1 slow in her kit with no other cc. her 3 is okay in my opinion, i would still want a bit more damage to it and probably a stun if you hit them with it and pounce on them or something like that but it's still okay as it is as long as she gets something else in her kit. as for her cats.. they are a complete joke. the last use they had was gone when the minion tower backdoor protection removal got taken out. the cats are only viable early and even then they are really easy to be taken out. late game they are simply done for in under half a second and the only use they have is to basicaly try to slow someone down for a few seconds or block a couple of autos and that's only if the enemy abilities are down so to not clear the cats instantly. i have no clue as to how they could get fixed, the ability simply can't work mid/late game.
I'd prefer a second jump instead of a return as well. I think her 2 is fine, maybe increase it's base damage and make it's DoT smaller to compensate. Her throwing dagger could honestly be completely replaced with something else imo, though idk what yet. I think her cats should have scaling timed invincibility like Tusky when summoned, like 1/1/2/2/3 seconds where they can't take damage or be CC'd with something like Khumba's mesmerize. They'd still be easy to kill but you'd be able to at least confirm a little damage at the end
I would make the ult like that,
Summon 3 cats, they seek out and pounce on the nearest enemies, crippling them for a second and applying a stack of bleeding.
The animation for that would be similar to arachnes old two, where she jumped on the back and latched on.

And you will be able to tank, deal damage frontline and save allies with your ult slow
Plan out your two,shes strong,especially early
She has a simple kit. And because of how simple her kit is, you NEED to plan out your abilities. She is good and her passive is OP definitely not bad. Im a diamond Nike as well.
I play Cabrakan support quite often. Double stuns can completely doom some adcs
i was thinking the same thing in casual when i got a bad team i got more kills then my team did.

@DukeSloth do you think that the change to Bastet's leap would work? What I have in mind is having her normal first leap as it works now, but also having the ability to jump the second time with 50% reduced damage. So in other words you'd give her more chase potential, slightly more damage, and more unpredictability.
Can't talk about the worst gods in the game without some Arachne gameplay.
I like bastet kit and concept, but I agree that her ult is trash and need some adjustments.
That Ymir wall @1:25 gave me cancer
How do people play with A W R and spacebar as there ability casts
I feel like they should buff Bastet's 2 in general and make her cats harder to kill as some gods can just completely nullify her ultimate with a one of their abilities

Hey i was wondering where you got the least played gods in ranked stats from? I want to see them for myself
I think hades is the worst god this is because his idea is a mage who puts himself out of position.... at least arachne and bastet complete there role correctly although they need buffs btw I'm a hades main I should know
I think Hades' whole design was still made with him being a guardian in mind. If he finds a niche, it's probably somewhat closer to Zhong than other mages.
Omg thx so much
@@DukeSloth I agree but I love building him full damage no lifesteal in casuals and stomping
DukeSloth it’s weird because hi rez Ajax responded to me on a stream saying that he feels hades is in a ok place then they buff him in the next patch. I do like the movement speed buff but he still feels bad and awkward to play where as baron and zong just feel better for that style. Do you think he just needs a re-kit?
The problem is that Hades is almost like a better Anubis, in that they have very similar play styles (High damage, risky to pull off), except he has more utility (In the form of a heal and AoE CC). While Anubis will generally do better, it is mostly down to him being easier because there is no transition you have to pay attention to (Just focus on killing a target all game, where as Hades has to at some point start being more team fight oriented).
Hey Dukesloth, what are your thoughts on Arachne support with her new buff?
Tbh...this really should say "in conquest"

@@simonb.5236 Not salty/toxic Conquest players
@@NotGatt Not salty. I play other modes too. But the game ist simply based around conquest which is why nobody takes other modes seriously. Exeptions exist of course

I do very very good with bastet. Idk why everyone saying shes bad.. Her clear is great her 2 and 3 hit like a truck. Ive had no issues with her as of lately and in season six she feels very strong. Compared to alot of assassins like loki who have been massively nerfed. Her kit guarantees kills if you know how to body block your target with your cats..
“You know who it is”
Me: No I don’t, who tf is it?
Also Me: *Looks at game* oooooh
i remember when Nike first came out people praised her basic attacks and complained about how OP her kit is
"sun's 1 X3
bellona's ult for an escape
2 relics for an ult"
and now everyone thinks it's weak
A bit back when I played I dropped 25ish kills every single game conquest or arena with arachne kek
Isis main here! She's one of my favourite Gods by far. Her kit just has so much potential for me and I love how useful her ult is.
Bastet just needs a rework. Simply assassins with no hard cc are never good, the only one that ever was good was Nemesis but that was because her ult has utility and she had strong burst, way stronger than bastets, and didnt even have to use her mobility for it, let alone her extra shield.
They need to change something with her leap, either making it less predictable or making it not necessary for her burst damage.
They need to zone in on one of her abilities and make that her clearing one, lowering the cd a bit, whether that be the 2 or the 3. Either one of which also needs to have their animations decreased, especially the 2.
Either the 2 or the 3, whichever one that wasnt made the primary clear, needs to have some more cc added to it, like say her 3 now has a root.
And then they need to do something with her ult... either make a whole new one or give it something that makes it benefitial in the late game.
They also could change her passive in some way, maybe for a hard cc rather than in one of the abilities. Like say her 2 makes the target marked in some way, and when said target is struck from any damage from bastet they are stunned or something.
She just needs something that makes her have more potential in team fights, mostly through some sort of cc and an ult that isnt only effective on objectives or duels.
@Harold, The Talking Tree he didn't mention Awilix?
I don't know about adding more cc to her kit outside her ult... Because she's so focused on damage over time, you don't need to cc them, just hit your abilities and pounce back. I think that's what's fun about her and annoying to play against. But maybe they could give her a root on her ult like Skadi's? I feel like her ult and her early clear are what really suck.
Oh i have an interesting rework for bastets leap. She gets 2 leaps similar to nemes's 2 dashes. The caveat is that only on of the leaps does damage in the same radius it has now. You can select if youd like the initial leap to do the damage if the enemy or camp is close enough by pressing 1 then left click the next 1 then left click will have a window in which you can use it again before going on cooldown but the subsequent leap will not do damage. The other option is you can click 1 twice then left click (so 1->1-> left click) to save the damage radius for your second leap. This would be optimal in the case of an enemy being farther away or baiting the enemy to use up their escape option to avoid the damage but you saved it for the chase.
This rework would buff her mobility and her escape would be less telegraphed. Maybe the distance of the leaps could be limited by the devs t balance.
Something that i decided to leave out of the initial idea because i feel it might be too out of balance is if her non damaging leap had a sort of cc like a stun or a root applied to it similar to kali's.
It would be very hard to make this instacast which is one problem i have with my idea as well.
AWholeNewLOW ! That would be the most broken leap
Sorry but how does that whould work with quick and instant cast? Because the time you press 1(and left it), she has already jumped without any left click needed, with those options.
TheMetalOverlord maybe pressing 1 1 very fast than it does less dmg
@@TheMetalOverlord thats the problem with it bruh i said that
Bruh Anubis is so op , his damage is insane
GwolfGamer his damage is good but he can easily get countered
i like him but i think it is because he has no escape
1. No escape- while playing him I saw issue that if someone has any combo Ready or you'll not play safe enough, you will surely regret that. 2. Easy contras- I played vs him kinda a lot. Today I was playing the Baron vs him, and I don't think Baron has any escape abilitys. And I still was able to escape from most of his atackas. The most succesfull thing he did was stuning me and using his ult. Sure he was trying to stun me and then do the ground zombies thing but that still wasn't working enough. And no I wasn't using any iteams or amulets for escape. Second thing, I'm kinda new player in Smite, still learning much and doing a lot of mistakes and still I could counter him endless times.
I play the other modes, i despise conquest, but i can safely say that if you love bastet and want to play her, she is a very safe and useful pick in arena. Precasting her jump before a teamfight and then running in, dropping your kit then jumping back to your backline is a very safe and effective strategy. Sure other assassins have more pentakill potential if you play assassins for snowball like kali or thanatos, but she is very consistent and hard to shutdown. If you can bait and dodge cripples, you're effectively unkillable. My last ten bastet matches all end with 10+ kills, 30-40k damage dealt, and 1-2 deaths max, often going deathless.
I definitely see why she would be weak in a conquest setting though, no argument there.
I remember when Hades was the "top performing god".
To be honest the bastet's problem is a problem that is shared with a lot of the older gods that survived the initial fallout of some the niché older gods a few seasons ago and they received buffs to help them keep up. Remember when art's boar insta-died late game and didn't have those extra seconds of immunity and the 2 didn't have movement speed. It was a long time coming that the survivor's of that period would falloff eventually given the fears of power creep back then.
It's a problem shared by hade's 3, Hun batz's 2, bastet's 2 & 3, Isis 1 & 3, and to a lesser extend Agni's 2 (though the stun combo could justify this delay to be honest) and that is the pre-cast animation being too long for the ability's overall value, smite's time to kill has speed up over the years and the game has moved away from a meta of telegraphed attacks, and from a design perspective with such shift there should be a revised maximum pre-cast time for smite basic abilities; since am sure to a newer player these long pre-cast delays just look awkward and plays out awkwardly for what they do.
Personally, I think Camazotz should be on that list.
The only CC he has is his 2 which is a slow.
Has little no to mobility, his leap might be the shortest in the game alongside Discordia (correct me if I'm wrong).
Does very little damage after all the nerfs he got earlier this season.
We're left with a God with moderate sustain (not insane, he's got his healing nerfed too!), little to no CC, moderate-ish damage and no mobility.
...
No camazots is pretty decent camazots counter one the only assassins in Meta rn cam is pretty good in the solo lane because of sustain with camazots you want to play solo not jungle and eith his blood pools you can stay in lane
@@fernandosantana7503 You can definitely stay in lane and build pressure...but then what? Pressure means close to nothing and during the teamfights you're not gonna be terribly effective.
@@fernandosantana7503 I Like As To How You ACTUALLY Think My Brother Cama Is ACTUALLY Viable In Smite With His Tiny Ass Heals And Pathetic Early Game,You Must Be Unable To Realize That THERE ARE ACTUAL WARRIORS IN THIS GAME THAT ALSO HAVE SUSTAIN...
Camazotos was if not the worst god they've released in a while. Considering his kit is VERY basic and boring. His 1 and 2 should be different. The rest is alright but his main damages are line attacks that doesnt seem assassin like at all
For bastet:
-double pounce if you hit an enemy
-in built antiheal for the 3
-you spawn 5 cats instead of 3 and in a circle radius at medium range, they dont slow anymore, just in the radius
I wanna see your thoughts!
Funnily enough I see the God's mentioned early on doing great in arena
Yes I agree. I mostly play arena and each of these gods can be very effective in that mode. I love Hades in arena. He can be absolutely devastating, even without using his ult. Isis is great in that mode as well
And as an Arena main I wholly agree. Assassins are amazing in Arena. ( especially Arachne, Bastet, Baka and Set )
@@darkice3267 you forgot fenrir ik he struggles because he doesn't have ranged abilities like set but I destroy in arena

-Maybe add some buffs from her current passive to her ultimate(add a damage and protection buff to allies that stand in her ultimate aura)
-Increase the duration of the ultimate or increase the shield and make the ultimate end when she loses all of her shield
-Maybe add a crowd control to her 2 since she has no other hard CC other than her escape
There are no bad God's, it's all about how you play them. Master all and each one will be good.
Dumbest comment I’ve ever read, yeah becuz they balance character for Zero reason lmfao. Becuz people obviously use everyone and not just the clearly better characters
I agree. Take the time and every god is good. Honestly, there were some gods I thought were bad, until I got the hang of how they worked and now I love them. So now I take every god with a grain of salt and don't judge any as bad. All these gods on this list I have seen as truely devastatingly awsome when in the right hands. Ignore TheMonsterTrio. His is the dumbest comment I have ever read.
Can you make an 'most op gods in Smite' video? Or did you already make one?
For me Loki is the worst god, maybe not in the matter of performance (even tho he IS bad), but I know he performs even better than Bastet in jungle, but my point is something you mentioned on a recent video about him, he's easy enough to one-shot a squishy (which makes no sense to be able to do that with just 2 abilities and 2 Hydra's procs) and that helps to make him maybe the most hated god, but also he totally lacks teamfight potential, and thus he's not only hated by enemies but also by his teammates. So this guy has no place, maybe not even in the game, everything he does is being a pain for everyone
Carlos Portuguez false loki can help alot in team fights, if u can ult and take one of them out without dying u make the fight a 4 v 5
Watch meerkat UUIC vs Carlston I think. He displayed the true cancer of Loki in the right hands with a competent team. Other than that yes... Hes an annoyance on both the team and the opponents.
That's funny cuz as a decent level 30 console player, anubis and arachne are absolute units. And thoth is ASS 😭
Dude... 5 minutes in and you havent even started the list yet. We get it some are good at different tiers of play
Never again will I refer to Sisi as the goddess of magic, but instead the goddess of demonetization. That subtle humor you have is what makes you great Duke.
Bastet sucks in conquest, ill give you that but her early game is insane in joust/duels. Id say that nike is probably the worst god from an overall performance perspective, duel is worthless, joust she can't even get her passive maxed until 35 min and her teamfight is just a 5 second slow with low damage. Her solo is not half bad but lacks in comparison to someone like bellona which has great clear and a great teamfight ultimate. I think she needs a buff to her passive or just a new passive in general and maybe a rework to her 2 which only changes her abilities slighty and gives her a pathetic boost in HP5.
That's not even mentioning her ultimate hits as hard as Odin's but with a hundred second timer
Also not mention, he said these were opinions based on PC Conquest. How she performs in other modes and platforms is irrelevant here.
Note: I realize he is talking about conquest but i am looking from an overall ranked perspective. Sorry for any confusion caused by my post.
Yea she's hella strong in joust.
In a teamfight, Bakasura is the absolute worst god you could have on your team. He has no hard CC outside of his ult (which is unreliable at locking people down), and his heal is so situational that the buffs you get, or heal you need, will never be there when you need them.
He is built to get ahead, a character made for outrotation. Even so, the second it isn't a 1v1 he becomes pure garbage. Being able to gank mid or solo x2 doesn't help how absolutely terrible the kit is.
I feel like the thing they should do is get rid of his kit entirely. It's completely outdated and needs to be removed. A new kit that uses true damage, pets, and a bite in there somewhere would be fine, but his current state is trash outside of duel.
The thing is some people think that worst god = under powered, but it is not because if you buff those gods there is others that gonna take their place.
i honestly wouldn't had though of Bastet ever sense i play her and still get the job don and carry my team nd get top damage (yes she is not the best but doesn't mean she cant get the job don)
h7oda mazika ideally you want all the characters in the game to be very close to the balance point so it’s much more debatable which characters are the worst. Smite has for sometime now been falling through the snowball effect for power creep with new gods being much much stronger than earlier gods which is why the 5 mentioned are all very old and have kits that don’t really fit what smite is now. I agree that being the worst doesn’t mean being bad always for instance the worst player on a NFL team is still a phenomenal athlete but that also means he can’t really compete with top tier NFL talent. I hope I made my point clear but just in case. You’re right worst doesn’t always mean bad but in this case the worst are in fact very bad
@@joemonreal4494 That "ideally" can never happen there is always gonna be worst character in every game till the game dies. specially with the addition of new gods without looking at old gods power (intentionally) just to make people play that new god.
and no in this case worst is not very bad unless maybe vs pro players and even then Bastet was getting picked by pro players less than one year ago so i wouldn't say she very bad sense nothing really changed except she getting buffs.
h7oda mazika the meta changes against her which mad her significantly less viable
@@joemonreal4494 Worst god change from one person to another it is just opinion. also the meta should not keep changing and the game should stabilize if hi rez really care about players.
unless you have nothing else to do but playing smite you don't really want the game to keep changing unnecessary.
@@h7oda793 How can the meta not change if they want to release new gods? Same with new items or relics. As long as they add content to the game the meta will change.
Bastet is a hit and run assassin and that what she excels at so to bring her back into the meta change her 1 so it's like xing tians "leap" but to balance it make it so she can only jump back in the opposite direction but it doesn't have to be the same spot. The hit box would be a the location where she will jump and there would be a ah puch ult like hit box behind you where you can jump back to safety. As for her ult take elements from skadi's dog so they tackle bit/grab pulling them back to bastet the enemy god for 1-2 secs. The damage would only be the grab at a much lower scaling but the enemy god would take increased damage from bastet.
Do that and she'll be a (at the very least) A+ god who can dive in set up a kill and dive out hit and run assassin.
I had a dream where they made kratos a God. It was worse than baron...
I wish
Kratos is actually a lesser known Greek God I think. He could possibly be in Smite at some point.
Smite- battleground of gods, low rez adds king Arthur...
@@littlepig6877 medusa, Scylla, Baron, hercules, achillies. I could go on but I think I've made my point
@@imaginationcore2104 sun wukong fits the argument even more, he is a character from Chinese folklore, just as Arthur is Western European folklore
What do you think of giving Bastet two jumps like Nemesis dash. Jump in deal your damage and then jump out. Although this would make her escape too powerful given the distance of her leap. So then make it like Achilles 3? Like, maybe you get a second jump if you deal damage with your first jump, or if you deal damage in a 3s window after your first jump so that you're not required to actually hit the jump and then can use it to gap close.
Bastet is a beast in Assault, though. :V
she is good she must be getting hit with a counter before she can jump back.
Still an assassin, completely countered by ymir
I can see this in conquest, but Anubis and Isis are great in casuals, they are such pub stomp gods, buffing them would be like buffing Loki, it would be chaos.
Isis is the best God in the game she has knock up immunity.
I second this.....as the fire giant
NPC 144530113 honestly looking at most of the other comments here this is probably one of the most compelling arguments
with Arthur around the corner that might change if he jungles
on a serious note, isis is alright God, but knock up wont be enough when you have gods that other uses like stun and cripple. not to mention that her abilities require to land and if you have an opponent that knows how to juke, then your effectiveness drops drastically, not to mention there are better gods that can hit harder too
Isaac vitela he’s joking
You mean "goddess of demonitization"
The problem I have with Baster is that her abilities just feel like there is a long windup on them outside of the 3. One thing which I wonder if it could be done is that putting the pounce cooldown on when you first land seeing as it is adding 4s to its cooldown. It just feels like Baster is a lost cause since she doesn't do anything better than anyone else. Sure getting heartseeker and 1 3 2 someone will kill them but that's true for most gods and the kill time is alot lower. The 4s pounce timer doesn't feel long enough when your abilities take 4s to wind up ;_;
Dont get me wrong duke i love your videos i watch since 2016, but i people saying there's bad and good god even i do. But it feels like people are never happy about what they have look a Baka he was really bad and not in the META for 2 years maybe now they buff him and now people complains that he'a broken and this happen with a lot of gods. Maybe its just me and i dont understand people 😶
Problemz 29 in my eyes hirez is shit at balancing gods, like take a character like hers, she was originally total garbage, and know she is banned pretty much ever ranked game. Hirez either makes huge buffs that either make or break a character, or tiny buffs that really don’t affect much, like bastet 2 second cooldown reduction. Also characters like Susano I remember being very broken, and know he is rarely played. I wouldn’t be surprised if hirez has never played there own game.
@@CosmicGamingPlays balancing a 90 characters game is quite hard . Look at league and see all the obsolete champs there and that game is way bigger than smite now
One thing that keeps confusing me with Bastet is that her return jump doesn't do damage. It's not all she needs, your explanation of the 2 actually makes so much sense idk how I hadn't noticed the delay before, but it would just make so much more sense to me if you could double-jump people o.o
Bastet is pretty good on console, i know your not talking about console but i'm just tossing in my two cents. Bastet seems to be better on consoles then pc, i play her almost religiously as an assassin carry or jungle and she does pretty well as a carry. Maybe she's just another case of a god in the wrong class.
I've never seen her do anything but feed on console, personally. I tried playing her in ranked recently and couldn't understand why it went so badly, given she's so easy to play. Checked the stats and yeah she has one of the worst win rates despite her kit being so simple that anyone should be able to play her pretty well and safely. I agree with Duke that she needs some major help.
George Nixon not saying she doesn't need help, i'm just stating that she does better built and played as a carry then a jungle
@@roachbagjr9358 I guess she might work in lane but then you don't have a hunter for objectives and structures
I really enjoy playing Isis, she's so fun and feels rewarding to play when you get kills, objectives, etc. And I agree with you 100%. I hope Titan finds a way to make her and a bunch of other gods better this coming season because it's annoying seeing the same gods being played over and over again. Enjoyed the video!
I feel like you watched Weaken's video of smite worst gods
Phoenix GMZ or they have a pretty same list because they are right
with bastet they should make it when you hit them with your 2 then your 3 they get a 2-second stun or something or just rework her with a new ult or make it where the cats can be thrown out a lot further and add the Argo mechanic where you can pick the targets
360p gang
So sorry for you
Now that you mention it, what happened to Thoth. I have him lvl 10 and haven’t played or seen him in months
Jing Wei is the most garbage god in smite by far... 0 damage, 0 wave clear, only really useful against knock ups. She can get to lane quick and escape, that is it
Have you tried her with a crit build? Trust me her clear should get astronomical once you do.
@@dermongooseplays5500 Honestly no, I mean I believe you but that is because if I am put with a Jing wei or I get randomed to Jing Wei, I auto leave, I would rather waste 5 minutes and a little bit of FP than play a full game with a jing wei. She is in my personal opinion the worst balanced character in a video game as she is literally worthless
Alex MacLellan Looks like you just don't like the character and refuse to play with it. I won't bother to change your mind as that would in of itself be a bigger waste of time.
Jing Wei is easily one of the best gods out there. Once I got the hang of her it was a breeze dominating with her. Just an overall fun god tobplay with.
The fact that cabrakan is there surprises me. Maybe in competitive he might not be that good, but in casual you can become loki as him. Please try it, it's really fun to play as well
Just because a character isn't valued doesn't make them bad. Ullr is very highly valued and does worse than all but Isis on this list. Really picking Ullr is more of a throw than any of your other picks you mentioned. Just all those other picks aren't considered meta so people aren't driving their winrates down by picking them into everything. The thing about ranked is a lot of it is just this is supposedly strong pick it whenever you can. Which is why you get a lot of picks that are valued way more heavily than they should be. Example Hera is currently the 2nd most pick/banned with a 49.11% winrate certainly not a horrible pick but not something that should really be that highly valued
FidelCatto your insane if you think a Bastet or cabraken is more valuable then an ullr, And Hera is completely crazy if you’ve played against her, she’s banned in almost every game because she’s broken, I don’t know where you found the win rate.
@@CosmicGamingPlays Yes she is banned in almost every game but it isn't like she has a 55%+ wr when she gets picked. In fact at Diamond+ she is banned in 71% of games but wins only 46% when she is picked in which she is picked 14% of the time. Bastet at the same level of play has a 3% pick rate and a 54% wr and Cabrakan also has a 3% pick rate with a 53% wr. Hera is overvalued are Bastet and Cabrakan more valuable not necessarily it is highly likely that most players just toss them under the rug thinking they're useless like you are even though at least when picked into the right comps have a good chance. Also of note the god that Hera has the highest win percentage with them being on her team is Cabrakan. A 46% wr makes sense for a character that may have like a 5-10% pick/ban but at 85% pick/ban that doesn't tell me she's good it just tells me players are stupid. Oddly enough Silver and Gold players value her less and she is an okay pick at that tier at a 51% wr but that's nothing to write home about (Still not worthy of her 81% pick/ban).
Ullr is quicker, has more range, more damage and better cc compared to bastet. He is also less predictable, his abilities are less telegraphed and hit quicker and harder.
You cant just look at these values and say oh gods with low win rate are bad. Ullr has low win rate because he is popular and more importantly is hard to play. Some of the best ullr can carry any game in any gamemode, can you say the same about bastet?
FidelCatto You don’t seem to understand that having a broken god in ranked doesn’t Guarantee wins. Ranked is usually one sided for on team or the other because of Matchmaking. Hera currently is arguably the best god in the game
@@TheS0ris as a bastet player, yes i can say i can carry a team at least into midgame, after that bastet is pretty much useless, basically everything that duke says still holds true, im not here to argue that bastet needs work. I am here to argue how terrible ullr is on console, it was hilarious back in the hay day of ullr when everyone tried to play him and noone could hit his abilities. Since then he has become laughable on console, i usually play a bursty assassin (bastet, susanno, arachnea, pele) so when i see an ullr i know ill be junping him alot, pretty much every opportunity. Just thoughts here im not saying either side is right or wrong. I understand on pc certian abilites must be so much easier to hit.
I think a good buff for bastet would be making her 2 faster and making it do all the damage at once while reducing a bit its damge and cd, adding a fourth cat or fifth cat in upper levels and making the cats give a debuff like reducing healing for 30 % and making the targets receive 10% damage increase, this debuff stacking up to 2 times, the debuff being applied with the cats aa,
this would make her a strong but no overwhelming god in my eyes at least.
PD Numbers should be revised though.
Duke why u trippin, bastet still good af if played by a good person, she my most annoying god to play against, she is not easily countered, u name beads and aegis like dude that's a counter to everything but u only get that once every couple minutes, she has hella low cooldowns, u not gone be able to keep doin that, after the first time u pretty much done for if u not a tank, so annoying to just jump in do hella damage and jump a mile back to safety, u trolling wit this video, gotta be
Any decent player will see her jump in and have an ability waiting for where she jumped from. If she jumps back, her escape is down and she gets destroyed by whoever is waiting for her. If she doesn't jump back, she's stuck in the middle of a bunch of gods with her kit down. She has no significant cc like most similar gods do, so she gets destroyed if she gets stuck anywhere.
Her ult is absolutely awful. There is basically no skill involved, it's just a press 4 to win early game and completely useless late game.
Late game she brings nothing to the table whatsoever. Not enough burst to actually delete someone, no cc to make up for that, not great at soaking damage, nothing. She is worthless late game, decent early game, and good midgame. Just being good midgame, not even great, is not nearly enough to make up for the horrible late game.
She is only good against new or bad players.
He did say it was opinion
@@Loj84 are you serious you acting like she jumping on you when she two feet away dude she can jump like a whole 20 feet ahead and then run forward for a whole 3 seconds and then use her abilities and then jump all the way back you're not catching her after that, she's so cheap, so her escaping down means nothing when she can make that big of a gap between you in first place and then with cooldowns it's a ridiculously low so she can just keep spamming that over and over again come only a few gods will be able to really damage her the right way in that little amount of time that she's up there, she's the definition of someone annoying
Except her ult does nothing after mid game and any form of CC, especially a cripple, leaves her vulnerable. In a Conquest setting, she's better off in the Duo lane than the jungle right now, and is not being played there either.
Poor Bastet. I like her a lot but man is she bad. Like you said she has so many faults... I don't know what to do to fix her without a redesign, which I wouldn't like at all. I think speeding up her animations, and maybe adding something to her ult or jump could work well. Like enemies hit by her jump are crippled shortly, or her cats gain increased damage to structures, so she can split push again(not as well as the backdoor protections are still there but maybe make it less of an issue with the cats.
As for arachne, yeah, finding her best playstyle with this change is going to show where she actually is. making her a glass cannon like weak3n will change nothing with this buff as you'll still use it mostly for escapes. Building her bruiser seems best but she could still get blown up. Maybe we'll find some cool items for her. I would like 1 more thing added to the ult for mostly flavor reasons but it would be a buff: have her spawn spiders on any god hit in the radius. Not sure how crazy the buff would be but I would like it for flavor and fun reasons
A.J. Ferolie I just don't get why everybody thinks Bastet is bad, whenever she gets picked which is quite often, she destroys.
Nike is the worst god in smite by far
Alejandro Victoria Domínguez nuh uh you are
The thing is even though she's bad, and I also think she's bad because her kit is trash, has high cooldown and his autos are bad, at least she brings team utility, just by being her your team benefits from your passive, plus her ult is like a massive aoe curse that makes her tanky for fights
Daniel Fraiz I think she’s pretty solid, there’s worse warriors to choose in my opinion
@@SaintsFan09-z3s you are right, she's pretty good
imo she isn’t even bad. Shes good
I find it funny that all these gods are fairly common and do well in duel, which is what I play. So this goes against my experience XD

I agree and I main aphro
Anti heal destroys here full kit. She should be able to kiss multiple gods or anti heal works weaker on here. I mean i never saw here once in conquest.
@@_shadow_1397 so you are 90% a girl
@@Jonas17569 nah
@@sakuraxona she still needs a buff or something
Bastet is my favorite assassin. I suggest updating her passive to not remove the wound but have every ability hit refresh the wound duration. Also, let her passive apply to her basic attack damage as well. Speed up the ticks of razor whip (or make it 3 ticks of more damage instead of 4) and/or let declaw cripple.
The Morrigan, apparently, is great early game due to low cooldown AND high damaging 2nd skill... but late game... well... almost everyone now has great equipment, and in addition to more powerful skills, she becomes a squishy non-threat.
If played wrongly, actually.
Hey I would like to have your honest opinion on my suggestion to smite in what concerns adding actual mermaids to the game instated of skins. You have for example #Iara, an amazon river mermaid from Brazilian mythology . Or even #LaSiren, Loa of the sea and wealth form the Vodoo pantheon. Do you think that they would be much appreciated?
As someone who really likes Bastet, I totally agree she needs some serious buffing. Her kit (especially the ult) just feels so underwhelming in comparison to other assassins to the point where it feels like Hi-Rez/TitanForge have just straight up forgotten about her. Also I really like your idea about giving her leap a sort of second jump instead of the incredibly linear return-to-sender mechanic it is now.
hopefully we can see more collabs with mythymoo and emilzy. it could be fun
Idea: Give the 2 a scaling cooldown from 14/13 seconds down to as low as 9/8, and give the 3 anti-heal. This would give her at least some options at different points in the game, you could even have the cats refresh the effect of the 2 even thought that might be much
Totally agree about Cabraken. I've actually been doing very well w/Bastet/Isis, but my worst god is one you didn't mention: Hun Batz. He has no strong CC outside of his ult, next to no damage (his passive doesn't really do much), his abilities are slow and predictable, and his teleport is unreliable, to say the least. I can't find any place where he excels. There's no real reason to pick him outside of his ult, and others are better in that regard (e.g Da Ji).
1:26 what is his problem
Its a close race between half the warriors in this game
I think you hit the nail on the head on that last Counter bit. There are just too many counter gods/items/relics imo that make certain gods just not viable or useless. I like using Daji/Pele but god forbid they have a full CC team, I can't go in worth a damn. The one time I played Hades in Clash, I just built him like a Guardian cause no other way was I gonna survive, plus got Bumbas or wtv that gives speed to actually get people for my team.
I also think that they sometimes give gods too much shit or too little.
As an aspiring Bastet player, I fully agree with your points as they line up with my research. She needs buffs that improve her usefulness and longevity in combat without changing her completely.
I think they should give bastet 0.5s of cripple immune after her leap so she has safer poke and make the 2 tick faster but deal the same damage (it take 4s) and speed the animation up a bit so it doesn't get interrupted all the time. Also if ur gonna give a buff when the cats die, give a speed buff so that if they die, she can either get closer to attack or run away better
I’m kinda surprised thoth was worst? If you can land his shots, he seems to do pretty well. There has been so many times an assassin thought I’d be easy pickings.. boost away, wall, lock, snipe, Ult. Easy kill. I can see some points, as long as he’s with someone, he can be pretty good and the Ult is just amazing when it connects.. so much damage and really shuts down anyone that runs away.. but I don’t do ranks.. just a lotta joust with with Thoth since Arena seems bad for him
Edit: Plus if anything, his laugh is op, change my mind
maybe make bastet jump so that if she hits an enemy god with it, then she can jump again. that way it rewards skill by rewarding players who hit it, and that way she can choose where she jumps out. if that is too strong maybe the second one doesnt do damage. if it is too weak, allow her to return to where she normally would (current jump) if she missed (though i think this would be fairly clunky or confusing to fight against)
Simple buff for Bastet, give her the exact same treatment that Kumbha got. If her abilities suck, then just drastically lower their cooldowns so she can spam them all the time, just like Kumbha. Crappy ult isn't that crappy anymore if it comes back online once every 25-30 seconds. Very low cooldowns also combo with her passive.
All these gods have one problem, the old god problem.
This game has really started to suffer from bloat. Even though I've loved basically all the recent gods they are just designed with certain roles in mind that more classic gods weren't, because those roles were either not there or very different.
My vote goes to Hades, one of my favorites in the game. He's almost melee, a diver, who relies on heals, yet he's not fat and he is *so. damn. slow*. Particularly in abilities. There is an issue where some gods are just made irrelevant by interrupts, and Hades has that issue in spades while not even having the benefits of channeled abilities which other gods have.
When can we get Judas the Betrayer?
I think Isis should revive all teammates that die in her ult when it ignites. The level should determine how much health. Maybe have those revived with a second or two disable applied so it isn’t a complete OP ult. The damage and health that it does now should stay the same. This would make her ult more usable as it has no purpose in healing- anyone needing it will most likely die before ignition or even boosting it. I only use it to combo for a quick finisher as an enemy gets away... which isn’t useful in most cases. I think the rest of her kit is fine, but maybe add HP to her passive. I think Serqet still belongs in the “worst gods” section. She’s one of my favorites, but she’s THE EASIEST god to shut down with basic gameplay- her Ambush isn’t airborn (anything on the ground, damage or ability, will still affect her), her Cobra kiss has short range and doesn’t apply two catalysts if both land, Last Breath can miss/vulnerable to damage during animation/weak damage/short duration. Bastet is mediocre, but she can accomplish more and much quicker than Serqet. I’ve played many matches with snowballing my Bastet (and many bad matches), but Serqet will almost never be in top marks (unless used with damage mitigation). Bastet is boring and can be shutdown just as easily, sure, but she can dish more out than Serqet. I realize that Serqet has a chance for doing serious damage to a single target and can offer better support, but overall, Serqet is always high risk and usually falls behind because of it. She just needs a couple of tweaks that won’t make her OP, but more usable. I still love her, but she requires too much compromise to be an assassin. As for Bastet, they should change her cats to either apply the buff for how many are alive, able to use life steal, or make her wounds apply protection/heal debuff like wounds would really do...
Jonathan Patton I love bastets play style but her ult is... Useless Late game and her kit is bad late game too,
I think that Isis needs changes to every ability- her ball should move faster, Her ult needs to be a bit bigger and do something like you mentioned, her 1 needs scaling speed and her dispel magic needs to not last .25 seconds, diminishing returns hit it too hard
Serqet still is strong in team fights and is a solid support- she's a lot like fenrir.. It's just he does it better
I thought for sure Bacchus was gunna be on this list, can anyone tell me why he's not?
When you have arachnophobia and see Arachne in enemy team lineup...time to KILL KILL KILL 😠😣
I just build bastet bruiser. The ult is nice early/midish game. Late game is where the ult problem lies. 700 hp with 60 protections is laughably bad since the cats are 1-2 shot depending on who you're going against. In teamfights they last maybe.....1 second? the leap is ok considering it deals massive damage for a leap that can basically be recalled. Maybe she just needs a better passive too. An extra 20% damage is nice but....you can't really do much with that item wise other then runeforged hammer.
Giving the cats more survivability would be the ideal choice but that might make them too strong then. Another idea could be being able to control the cats so that they don't all group up and take massive damage from one source. Make them spread out.
another idea is to remove the power gained when they die and instead....reduce the ult Cd by alot. Because honestly...there has not been many times where the power gained from the cats was noticed...let alone used. either the I get the kill and move on or I'm too low to continue and need to back anyway. If damage wasn't so high in this game maybe the cats would be much better.
She has almost no CC, I can't think building her bruiser is going to do anything but make you do less damage. I'd put her in the same category as Loki or Bakasura.. if they're not dealing a lot of damage, there's really nothing else they are bringing to fights.
8:22 when the enemy is afk/disconnected
Before the Xing buff, my mate always plays him and he was still devastating in casual play, he was so underrated and could turn a game around
I feel like The goddess of demonetization is usually used wrong. I have her diamond and if built correctly, she has frequent and useful cc, her ultimate can be one of the best team fighting ults in the game, it is absolutely one of the best objective secures in the game, and her mobility can help her peel if you use gem of iso, all of which makes for a solid mage. You just can’t play back with her, you need maximum aggression out the gate and use your 1 to escape getting punished for it. I feel like there are a lot of way worse gods than her. But her model does make her look like the goddess of spina bifida
My list; Osiris (underwelming) , agni (pls buff my boy), vamana(rework him, he needs it), kuzenbo(buff his ult), and Terra ( very strong support, but her kit is solely support and assist based that she is semi useless by her self)
Why dont you put a list in discription when it comes to this
Finally you release that game w/ mythymoo. I knew it's for a vid when you said you had to play bastet.
