What about adding a grounding type active?
Posted: 17 Dec 2016 09:03 PM PST
So, knock up is one of, if not the strongest form of CC in game atm. Once you're in the air, you only pray there is nothing below that'll finish you off. So, why not introduce an active, similar to beads, that teleports the player back to the ground? Could go a step further and have the teleport point be selectable, much like blink, so you don't land at the same point you were knocked up. Slap on the 160 second CD beads has, and while it can be activated on the ground, the teleport like effect won't activate unless in the air. Damage wouldn't be negated, just the knock up itself. Nor would it negate ults that require the target to be in the air (Ne Zha and Ao come to mind). Just seems odd to me that recent character releases have knock up in their kits (Nike and Jing), yet we can't counter that particular form of CC, at least mid air.

Random Thought for After Game Stats
Posted: 17 Dec 2016 04:50 PM PST
So, my friend and I just played a conquest. He was mid Kukulkan and I was support Bacchus. He was feeding his brains out early and playing really badly, but late game he started playing really well. After the game, he said "I probably did 90% of my damage in the last 5 minutes of the game." Then I had a random thought that would be pretty cool if it was in the game:
What if there was a graph for damage over the course of the game in the lobby afterwards? That would be cool to see when you really came online, when you were struggling, etc. It would be exclusive to you, so nobody else would see it. It could be a bar graph with percentages of total damage dealt in 5 minute increments, for example. My friend and I think this would be really cool if it was in the game. What do you guys think of it?
Tl;dr: Hirez should add a graph for after game stats showing your damage in time increments throughout the game.

A huge gripe about the Saturnalia Open
Posted: 17 Dec 2016 03:13 PM PST
Why does it sound like the casters are using 15 dollar microphones? It sounds SOOO unprofessional. The mic that I used for years on my youtube channel, I got for 40 dollars on amazon on sale and it sounds a hundred times better than whatever the hell they are using. For a second I was wondering if this was even HiRezTV.

Who do you think was the worst god released in 2016?
Posted: 17 Dec 2016 02:09 PM PST
For me, it's Erlang Shen. The guy just isn't enjoyable. He's frustrating to play against, not that fun to play, was OP as hell and was a top 5 pick for 3 different roles at one point.
I'm curious what the rest of the community thinks

Anyone have a Diamond god that they aren't very good with anymore?
Posted: 17 Dec 2016 05:00 PM PST
Mine is Hebo, I love him and his kit but after getting him to diamond and playing other gods and coming back to him I can't believe I got him to diamond. Excise of how bad I am with him now.

surrender issue
Posted: 18 Dec 2016 08:18 AM PST
so I've noticed that on Xbox, surrendering has been happening when it shouldn't. what i mean is, when the enemy team surrenders it shows the vote was 3-2 or 2-2 for a dc when before it had to be 4-1 or 3-1. did they change it and i missed it or is it just a bug? I've only noticed it because the high amounts of surrender due to horrible matches caused by triple everything and figured i'd ask.

Smite Problems (PS4)
Posted: 18 Dec 2016 07:48 AM PST
Ok so for the last day and a half i've grinding smite to get some gods to rank 10 since x3 worshippers is here. So instead of doing the long games of conquest i just do arena since its faster. The problem is that when i queue for a game i'll join the queue and usually the game will let you know if people dodge. But for me its been winding all the way down to 0:00 when I accept the queue but, instead of going back to lobby it just keeps the timer on my screen saying 0:00. Not only that but when i try to restart my game and i go back into the game i get a deserter penalty. I got a deserter penalty for accepting a queue....................-_- are you serious? This has happened 3 times now and at the moment of me making this, its happened again couple of minutes ago this and I now have 178 min penalty. Is there anyone else with this problem? If so can you please tell me what I need to do to fix it. (and please no troll comments like: "first you need to sell that piece of shit console and get a pc".) Any recommendations would be appreciated. I really want to get some gods to rank 10 but its seems like I can't even get into a game even while excepting queues :(

With all the very obvious Erlang hate, how likely is it that Erlang could get a pass to "un-rush" his creation?
Posted: 18 Dec 2016 07:19 AM PST
By that I mean a remodel, some animation changes (the more comical ones could stay but the whole ballerina thing could go), a few work-arounds with his kit to make it less annoying but rather than straight up nerfs something more towards a design philosophy, nerfs will just make him boring AND trash.
This whole Erlang hate is getting out of hand but it's actually quite easy to solve. The remodel could use, instead of generic Korean MMO unwieldy armor, a more Chinese set utilizing several plates of armor together on one bit instead of one huge titty plate that only god (Erlang?) knows how he managed to put on. The cartoonish spear in particular bugs me the most though, the Chinese had so many interesting polearms and this metallic house plant made the cut...how? As for the dog, just replace the beads and make him fit the art style. Headgear is pretty obvious for him, could use a pin in the hair as well.
I actually like Erlang quite a bit but without the obvious rush he could easily be my favorite god in the game. I recall PonPon mentioning his artstyle was an experiment...we all know how THAT experiment went.

Anyone else notice Nike plays a lot like Bacchus?
Posted: 17 Dec 2016 01:24 PM PST
I haven't played too much of her, but I noticed that her kit it pretty similar to Bacchus. In most of the matches I have played, I just activate my 2, then leap, and then ult and it feels exactly like Bacchus (aside from her crazy passive gains). She's a pretty ridiculous team fight character with a decent amount of chase down.
Edit: I definitely wrote those in the wrong order. Leap, then 2, then ult. woops.

I wish the titans did ranged damage, instead of walking back and forward not being able to melee anything in joust especially.
Posted: 18 Dec 2016 07:13 AM PST
Titans are too weak in joust i feel as if the phoenix is more of a titan yet it can be turned off by a bulldemon king too which is really dumb too.
