Smite god idea - Midas, the Man of Gold

Hi all, I had a great idea (imho) for a Smite god. I will try to keep this updated with my newest ideas, and I would love your opinion. Oh, and this guy needs lore.

Midas

The Man of Gold

PASSIVE: Golden Touch
All of Midas' basic attacks apply Golden, slowing attack speed and
movement speed by 7% for 2 seconds (increasing with Focus up to 4 seconds), making their
kills 15 gold more valuable to Midas. The added gold on kill stacks up to 3 times; each
consecutive stack resets the slow timer.

Ability 1 (INCOMPLETE): Golden Pathway
Midas rushes forward, leaving a 10ft-wide path made of gold that applies Golden to enemies who
cross it. (If you have ideas to finish this, don't hesitate to post them.)

Ability 2: Cleansing Waters
Midas summons a 50ft-diameter pool of water around him, lasting for (3/5/7/9/10) seconds,
slowing enemies in the radius. All enemies in the waters are debuffed of any positive effects,
and all allies in the waters are purified of any negative effects. During the duration, Midas
is immune to crowd control and cannot apply Golden. COST: 30/45/60/75/85 mana.

Ability 3: Mercernaries
Midas summons 5 mercernaries who attack only enemy gods, doing (20/25/30/35/45) damage per
hit. In addition, Midas showers all nearby enemy minions with gold, either converting them
(15/20/25/35/40% probability) to his side temporarily (2/4/5/7/8 seconds) or applying Golden.

Ability 4 (ultimate): Avarice
Midas begins throwing large coins in all directions, doing 150/250/370/400/515
damage per second to targets in a 40-foot radius for 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 seconds. Targets damaged
by this ultimate have Golden applied to them. Midas is immune to crowd
control for the duration of the ultimate. Each target Midas hits gives him Avarice,
a stacking effect (up to 4 stacks) that increases Midas' movement and attack speed by 2% as he
is overcome by greed.
COST: 90/110/150/210/240 mana.

CHANGELOG:
-2-12-2013: Midas originally suggested; abilities 2 and 4 completed, ability 1 started
-2-13-2013: Added Avarice self-stacks to Midas' ultimate
-2-19-2013: Added Mercernaries ability.

great idea but all the gods from smite exist. They are not made up so if you want lore, i don't even know if this god exists. But if you want lore you need to find it somewhere and not make it up. The skill ideas are cool though :)

Posidan idieas:

Type: Mage (obviously), not ranged (due to trident)

Look: a man with with a whit beard and white hair (not as old as He Bo) with a spear with 3 points, or a trident. His upper half is muscular bear belly, his lower is of a fish, or a merman. He stands tall and is very prideful.

Passive: Aquatic horse: 5% (or whatever) of posidians movement speed is given to magical attack (faster =more damage)

Skill 1: Tridents blow: Poseidon swings his trident in front of him, sending a spray or water in a cone in from it dealing damage and pushing the enemy back. If an enemy god is in range of the trident itself it sends the god flying to the side of him doing reduced damage. (The purpose of this ability is to give 2 selections for the player to choose from. The damage and the minor push, or the intense push and less damage)

Skill 2: Whirlpool: Poseidon summons a whirlpool in a target location sucking enemies towards the middle. Once in the center enemies get health and speed sucked from them giving Poseidon and nearby allies a speed buff. (the reason for nearby allies is so he has a small support role.

Skill 3: Tidal waves: Poseidon's basic attacks turn into ranged waves going through enemies (instead of obliverating once an enemy is hit) . If Poseidon hits an enemy god he gains speed up to a max of three times (more damage because of passive), if he misses an enemy unit (including regular minions) he is slowed up to 3 times. Right click to deactivate. Costs mana for every wave or has certain amount of time before its deactivated and costs mana only once at the start of the ability

Skill 4 (Ultimate): Ocean fury: a large ground target area becomes raging waves, stealing the speed of enemies (20% or something big), and dealing damage, the speed is given to Poseidon causing him to move much more faster and cause more damage with his ultimate due to his passive. The more enemy gods in the ultimate the more speed stolen. (I wanted his ult to be like his brothers, in an area of effect but doing different things. Instead of pulling or doing blast damage, it slows and and does damage over time. It can also be affiliated with the brothers ults for immense damage!!!

Please consider these ideas and it would be great to be implemented in the game. And if your having trouble separating He Bos and Poseidon abilities, make Poseidon water a bit green, giving it a hue of oceanic color.

Haven't you heard the story of Midas?

No i haven't :)

Unfortunately, Midas isn't really a god.

But I kind of like the idea of a character with a gold-related buff, if it isn't snowballing too much.

It is a great idea for a skill set though :)

Is Hercules?
============================

@Dragonblaze:

Midas was the king of Corinth, when Bacchus came and had, in his words, "the best dinner I have ever been served." In gratitude, he promised the greedy king one wish to be granted. The king wished to turn anything he touched into gold, and without arguing, though he knew the folly of this, Bacchus granted it. He could not eat or drink--the food and wine turned to gold in his mouth--and so he begged to have the blessing removed. Bacchus agreed, satisfied that Midas had learned his lesson, and enchanted Midas' pool to remove the curse of the golden touch from him and his daughter, who Midas had accidentally turned to gold.

I intend on extending this by saying, "Now, Midas fights alongside the gods, who taught him an important lesson, and uses his golden touch to bring ruin to his enemies."

What do you think?

That's pretty damn badass xD
