Arachne. Not buff, not change, rework. WAY too tied to ultimate, more than any other god in the game, even more than Ares or Agni. Unless they're just going to modify something like putting a cripple back on her web, she needs a rework.
Buffs
Guan Yu. Can't waveclear anymore without spending half his kit to do so, making it impossible to lane. In teamfights he's now exceptionally average.
Freya. Odd, and may get flak, but she was exceptionally tied to Polynomicon. The nerfs to it are ruining her. Not needing extreme buffs, just a couple to offset it.
Chronos. See above.
Nu Wa. Just an overall meh character - she brings very little to a teamfight outside of a wtf surprise with her stealth. But in all, her damage is average, her passives are mediocre, and she just doesn't create as much pressure as other gods, even with her tower stun capabilities.
Odin. Warrior nerfs ruined him.
Zeus. As crazy as it is, he's done without that stun. The slow is simply not enough to survive, especially not against someone like Serqet.
Ne Zha. His passive is so ridiculously bad on an assassin, despite its aid in the jungle.
Ares. He might need a rework. I don't know what to do with him though. Maybe tone down his damage, give his fire a slow, so he's got better utility as a tank.
Hades. Sub is gonna hate me for this but he needs a cripple on his ultimate. It's simply WAY to easy to avoid otherwise, with 95% of gods having some form of escape.
Nerfs
Serqet. Obvious is obvious. They're buffing her. HiRez pls.
Scylla. I hate to say it but her burst is stupid. I find her in a very good place but I know others don't, so a simple numbers nerf should suffice.
Athena. Under the radar but she brings too much to the table.
Apollo. High risk high reward, but needs changes to prevent how severe his snowball potential is.
Rama. He's so underwhelming but he's still such a threat. I think his roll is what needs the nerf, surprisingly.
Ra. Always been a ridiculous champion who fits in every comp and will always be useful. I think he needs less base stats and the same scaling.
Agni. Still such a ridiculous mid pick because of his pressure. I don't think it needs to be substantial, just existent.
Hercules. Why did he get buffed when every warrior was gutted? No idea.
Tweaks
Just going to list the gods and up or down, these should all be very small.
Poseidon Up
Aphrodite Up
Thanatos Down
Cupid Up
Chang'e Down
Bacchus Up
Anubis Up
Loki Up (carefully)
Ullr Down
AMC down
For items, I have only one suggestion: Nerf Ancile. It's like they ruined warriors and tried to make up for it by bringing this OP as hell item into the game.
I can elaborate on anything if people find things off.
I'd be fine with Hades getting a cripple on his ult, but feel that it should only activate after a second so that people have a chance to react.
I think if Freya gets buff then she also need nerfs to balance her out. As it is now she can easily burst down most gods either ranged or in melee due to her steroids, and as said before her ult is basically an "I win" ability.
I don't know how Zeus can be buffed without bring him back up top again. Maybe a silence with a reduced slow instead of the stun?
Nemsis, IMO, should just be removed from the game. I don't feel like she has a niche, she is annoying, but the most ridiculous thing about her is her ultimate. It is the single, only ultimate in the game which you cannot avoid. I don't mean things like Sprint or Beads, I mean actually avoiding the ultimate hit itself. Even World Weaver could be body blocked or Aegised. divine retribution cannot be.
I agree, remove her.. not just because she doesn't fit in game play, but because her concept as a whole is pretty all over the place, they've kind-of pulled parts of her description & look from other Greek & Roman goddesses... she's the goddess of vengeance... not justice (why the scales?) also she shouldn't be blindfolded.. pretty sure that's crazy stolen by another notable Greek figure... (mother to Nike?? I'm pretty sure.. )
My bad I meant to put Cupid on the "Gods I think should be changed in some meager way(s), but not fully reworked:" list. I don't want to fix it though since it would make you people look like you're blind :P
I main Rama and I can say that he is definitely OP, mainly the range of his ultimate and the slow on Astral Strike.
I hate everything about Nemesis. Its like Hi-rez came up with 4 skills that are very powerful on there own and then decided to slap them on to a single god and say "Meh, we can balance it later". Not to mention her appearance. I mean come on! She looks like a cosplayer!
Every thing else I stand by.
OMG best description ever!!!
I thought I was the only one who thought that!! (her sword & back "thing" ... "wings?" look like they'd be impractical & made of colourful plastic)
