Official Forum Hot Topics Week #1: Masks Aren't Fun!

Forum » General Discussion » Official Forum Hot Topics Week #1: Masks Aren't Fun! 4 posts - page 1 of 1

Something I've come to notice lately while browsing around SMITEFire is that not much from the official forums ever find their way into this place, nor do many people actually check them out. Then there's also the issue of there being too many threads to sift through to actually be bothered to read up on any of it.

Then I got the idea that could generate some interesting discussion: bring attention to the hot topics that are all the buzz over at the official forums to make current situations known! So without further ado, I bring you

Official Forum Hot Topics

This Week's Hot Topic: Monkey Gods, Old and New?

A few months ago, it was hinted by HiRez that was going to be receiving a visual makeover treatment in the near future. With the slew of patches that came on by, these words have been sitting in the back of our minds for a while now.

Recently however, HiRez apparently revisited the subject and has shed some more light on the situation, leaving behind this sticky topic on the official forums.

Basically, Sun Wukong is getting not just a visual upgrade, but a completely reworked kit as well. The reasons for this are largely due to how many players felt that the current portrayal of Sun Wukong, which has been around since closed beta, was very inaccurate and underwhelming when you consider the Monkey King's amazing lore in his Journey to the West. This overhaul will basically make a new god out of him that will feel much more accurate.

Some of you might be thinking: "But I liked Wukong's old kit!"

Fear not, his kit will remain in SMITE, but it will be handed down to a new god. There is going to be a new god called Hun Batz, who will be the second god to join the Mayan pantheon along with . He is going to play exactly like the old Sun Wukong after they remake him.

The topic itself has spawned a lot of curiousity and questions. On top of it all, with the datamined Chronos and Chang'E, we're not even sure who to except for this week's upcoming patch, so a lot of us will probably be in for some surprises!

On a side note, and jungling is still a very hot topic that has gotten more fuel added to the fire with a recent HiRez Q&A response. Not going into it, just throwing it out there...

With all that out of the way, I'm interesting in knowing what the SMITEFire community thinks this of this issue! Feel free to post your comments and opinions on the matter, and try to keep this discussion clean!

Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

but you dont have to be the one who goes solo and there are people who prefer playing passive.
and yes the jungler gets all the camps but snowballs because of them. i have played a jungler nezha for a bit now and i can say that jungling helps more than it hurts your team.
while it gets the action out of the game for one person they get it back and more after the laning/jungle fase. and it won't be all silent a good jungler will gank after the routine which means actoin so what you are saying is not completly true.

never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.
