He'd be more useful as a counterjungler than anything. Send him into the jungle to kill the enemy jungler so they can't do much later in the game.

As a dedicated jungler, Ares has the worst waveclear in the game, which translates into terrible clear times even with Hand of the Gods. If you must use Ares in the jungler, only use him as a part-time one.
Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

Sunfall, after some extensive testing, a Mage Ares does in fact have slow clear times at the start, but they start to pick up once searing flames is maxed. It's not as fast as Anubis, but it gets about as fast as Artemis.

And no, he definitely does not have the worst waveclear in the game. That dubious honor goes to Bacchus. F*ck you, Bacchus.

Strangely, Searing Flames's HP % effect works on all mobs except for the fire giant, gold fury, and oddly enough, the minotaur.

Belly Flop + Belch of the Gods puts out much more damage than Searing Flesh and Shackles unto creeps. Bacchus' magic power scalings are also much better if you choose to build him with magical power.

I'm not saying Bacchus would be a better jungler--obviously, Searing Flesh %age based damage works better on those high-HP buff creeps, on top of the fat man being way too mana-hungry. But for farming minion waves in lanes, Bacchus can clear somewhat faster.

I know this is a necro, but there is a fascinating number of retired editors/veterans on this post :o
