Just wish to know, what the official release of the game on March 28 brings to the table? How it is going to affect the game and experienced players like us who already purchased the game? In summary, why should we eagerly wait for the launch?

It doesn't help that HiRez backpedaled on an initial decision to keep Blink out of the game, which was the cause for all of the kits designed with mobility in them... the addition of Blink ended up making already mobile gods that much more so.

Plus Sprint needs a nerf. 60 second cooldown makes it available far too frequently, and at only a 600G cost for Rank 3, you can easily pick it up without worrying too much about your build falling behind. Right now it's one of the most-used actives in the meta.

But mages do have basic attacks and physical power. Currently this physical power is dependent on magical power. If a tank wishes to increase physical power he can't..he has to buy magical power items in order to do so. A mage must be allowed to buy physical items but then he is going to compromise on his mage power and damage output. Also i have seen a lot of players going for near full physical builds for hades and they did very well.

There are many options for mages outside of fatalis.
Demonic Grasp
Telkhine's Ring

that's literally 4 options right there. Then add boots and rod of tahuti. And that's for a FULL auto attack build. They don't really need asi or rage, and it makes it too complicated since mages can't crit.

Another point i wish to highlight: there was a time when gods were free to buy any items whether they are physical or magical. It was removed bcz it created confusion for new and inexperienced players. The whole idea of fatalis on zeus and freya is dedicated to that period. I think to counter hunters, mages must be allowed to buy any items like attack speed, movement speed, physical power and critical chance. Imagine a thanatos or nemesis bullying vulcan with basic attacks, now vulcan cant escape nor counter them but if he has an item like rage or asi, he can counter attack them. To avoid confusion , hi-rez can mark items which are not suited for mages and physical players but allow them to be purchased.

Edit: this can also solve the problem to an extent of tanks not able to clear minion waves. Imagine with heartseeker or ares with jatunn's wrath. This will surely make the builds flexible and gameplay more dynamic. Also, gold penalty on selling an item can be removed or kept to minimal.

@raventhor very much agree with you. In addition to that our squishy mages hardly have any solid escapes. These hunters can surprise attack, chase down as well as escape very well with these skills. IMO this is where the whole issue can be converged.

EDIT: for artemis I think the speed boost is fine but AMC speed boost is ridiculous when combined with attack speed gain. Neith's backflip I think is more an escape skill than attacking skill which is again fine when its both like with things complicate and tilt in favour of hunters.

I personally think it's everyone, as a whole, is too safe. In League of Legends, if you're caught pushed up a lane and the jungler is there, you can write yourself off. (By the way, I'm sorry if most of my arguments are relating to LoL. It's just the only other moba that most people will relate to, since DotA is too complicated for many, and this lets me have a reference) In Smite, if you're pushed up as a Neith, you just wait for the jungler to get close, then backflip, and possibly root. Additionally, sprint and combat blink are substantially shorter on their CD's than Ghost or Flash in LoL. It makes it too hard to gank, because you'd have to basically camp a lane a few times just for one successful kill.

Hunters need some way to be less safe. Look at League, once again. How many *VERY* solid escapes are there? Caitlyn is short, Jinx has none, Lucian is VERY short, MF has none, Vayne has a super short tumble, Ashe has none, Urgot none, Varus none, Sivir none.

Now Smite, in a game where it's already all skillshots and hard to land CC for a kill? Backflip, , , , , as well as ridiculous speed boosts for and . It's too hard to gank them, so a small lead will end up a huge lead when they can't be punished.

Hunters on their own are not the ones who get strong: it's when they have a team that can pull them through the early game so they can last until the late game where their damage scaling really kicks in and they can carry their team.

Question is how do we go about reducing their snowballing? Well, we have to find out what causes a hunter to snowball in the first place. Is it the nature of an item like which can turn a good early game into a unbeatable one if you can fully stack it? Or are duo-lane supports just too good at defending hunters from the jungler and helping them secure the kills? Or... are the best hunters simply far too safe?

There are a myriad of possibilities, and we need to narrow it down to the prime culprit.

They want to make it so having a small advantage doesn't tip an ADC heavily to one side, causing an irreversible tendency for the party slightly ahead to get SEVERELY ahead as the game progresses, due to minute advantages. I don't know how that can be fixed, but it's a nice idea.

Wat she meant by "making ADCs a little less snow ball"?

I don't really know a good repley, but I see what there doing here. From when I play, Solo Laners have a very big impact on my games. With ADC's it's very select few that have impacts on my game. Maybe its because ADC is hard, most likely.
