My opinions: Release the Quaken: Poolseidon is an amazing visual skin.
This patch was nothing but post-hit delay removal, though. Everyone is going to get their abilities off near instantly. And it's bad for counterplay.

Herc is op now haha.Dont see the reason why they buff him.

Eh, it's just more forgiving for him to hit. Most good hercs already did, and average ones won't feel like **** anymore. No literal buffs, just easier to hit things. Still, it's gonna be annoying to dodge now.

Believe me he gonna now be picken more often in ranked/competitiv just as vamana. Little buffs can make a hughe difference. Odin gonna profit with this patch also pretty much, Guan Yu little nerf.. idk what that means for the old warrior, i think he is still good.

Well, Smite's counterplay in general was always low...

#REMEMBER THE MANTICORE

Athena indirectly got a huge buff, more so than other gods, as the change to her post hit delay on her Shield Wall makes a near-instant Confound, so she will be able to proc the double-hit from Confound rank 1.

Cupid got a pretty serious nerf. Not sure how I feel about that.

Guan Yu got a HUGE NERF. Seriously, a HUGE nerf. What the hell?

They need to start giving justifications for these changes. I mean, I understand He Bo's ridiculous damage being nerfed, but why do they nerf gods like Cupid and Guan Yu when there are clearly problems with Zeus and Arachne and others?

Edit: Confound increases in duration by 0.25 seconds per rank, and the change in the post hit delay is 0.31 seconds. Yipes.

This patch does little but prove how Hi-Rez is filled with people who have no common sense.

What the HELL are they accomplishing in nerfing Cupid? He is one of the lowest-tier Gods and this nerf will send him even lower down the ranks.

These post-fire time changes are ridiculous. All they do is make the good and OP gods better, while making changes to the not-so-good Gods that could be substituted for, oh I don't know, NECESARRY BUFFS?!

The He Bo nerf is necessary. That's probably the only good God balance in this **** patch.

And don't even get me started on that Chang'e skin. If you're going to give that ***** a skin that also has custom holiday-themed voice commands, then give custom VGS to every holiday skin!

Oh, and good ****ING job for buffing Hercules. That is exactly what this game needed (NOT).

This patch as well as the recent ones have done little for me except for making me want to stab my ******* eyes out. Hi-Rez needs to get their heads out of each other's ***es and start making some viable changes.

Looking forward to see that new Chang'e skin. Also, no Chang'e nerfs this patch, this is awesome.

The post fire change i dont understand either, i mean it gonna be so easy just to spam abilitis and kill everything with it. maybe it make ares more viable idk. Gonna test it.

Here is the video if you haven't seen it yet.

I need someone to stab my eyes. Those Hercules buffs are, undoubtably, disgusting. Let's buff the god that doesn't ****ing die, and nerf the baby no one ****ing plays.

Hercules can pretty much WRECK any other Solo Laner, from my experience. EVEN Guan Yu, that people consider the Best Solo.

Cupid. Let's nerf him, so no one else plays the ridiculous, annoying baby.

He Bo nerf. Good, good.

RELEASE THE QUACKEN, YEEES. I'll purchase it, soon enough. Even tho I don't play a lot of Poseidon, and he needs buffs.



And that's it. I'll play some Starcraft II and Dawngate until HiRez fix some ****.
