Jingle Shells Kuzenbo: That's a pretty cute kappa.
Dual Tech Hel: Okay I like this one a lot.
Kitty Kaboom Serqet: Eh. Meh.
Battle Queen Hera: It's okay.
Shadow Stalker Izanami: Yeah...like this one a lot too.
Count Baron Samedi: S'okay I guess.
Stitched Horror Zhong Kui: Oh damn, Stuke was right. This is basically Oogie Boogie...or like one of the things from the movie 9. Freaking finally he gets a new skin, and it's a badass one.
Godslayer Ares: The new T5. I actually didn't see it in action. I love Ares but no way am I putting in the money to get the skin.

God Changes:

Ah Puch (nerfs): Undead Surge's slow duration decreases from 3 seconds to 2 seconds. Empty the Crypts' duration decreases from 6 seconds to 5 seconds. These are very reasonable adjustments. I'm happy with them.
Cu Chulainn (buff): Spear of Mortal Pain / War Cry cooldown reduced from 100 seconds to 85 seconds. Fair buff. I haven't played him in a while. I probably should.
Guan Yu (buff): Conviction gets a bit of his full-stack healing modifier restored, from 1.5x to 1.7x. 2x was probably too strong, but 1.5x felt a bit on the weak side. This is a nice buff for him, since he has been pretty weak.
Hades (buffs): Got a base MS increase from 355 to 365. Pillar of Agony's protections increased from 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 to 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160. This is actually very nice for him. Doesn't make Hades more fun to play (sorry), but gives him a lot more survivability (even when building very few protections as a Mid or something) when he's most vulnerable in his ult.
Vamana (buff): Colossal Fury gains a stacking health shield of 0.6% max health every 0.2 seconds, and his actual healing changes from every 2 seconds to every 1 second. In this form, he can also pass through player-made obstacles (like Odin's Ring of Spears). This is a very nice QoL change for him, and is a damn hard reflected counter to Odin, who used to be the bane of his existence, due to both the trapping and the 100% healing reduction fully countering his ult. I do find him fun to play, so this is nice.
