To Fatalis on Medusa or to Not

AKA the S1 mentallity.

IMO the item is a bit flawed. it gives more power to ranged gods then melee gods.

What about Kali and Bakasura?

And if an item favors one type of god over another...isn't that why there are different items, different kits, etc? What about Masamune, Stone Cutting Sword, etc.? Those favor melee gods...mainly because ranged gods can't even use them.

Yeah, but ranged gods do have the disadvantage of travel time on their auto attacks, which makes it easier to dodge than melee attacks... Unless you're me, who can't even hit melee attacks when playing SMITE on PC.

if we're talking about high lvl play hitting basics is something that will happen almost always, so good luck getting away. and like you also said hitting melee isn't always easy also.

Bran melee gods need to get close. Which can be damn hard unless you use a gap closer (and for your examples if things turn sour for them they can't get out easily cause no movement ability for some time). this is always a disadvantage against ranged gods however with them also using fatalis even more. Even with a gap closer (cause travel time and predictions can still get an adc several free shots in and most have an escape too :/)

items that are limited to certain types of characters is mostly a design choice made by HR. If you ask me I would like old Heartseeker Ymir jungle back just so I can try it and see if the stories are true. They probably limited certain items just so there isn't a surprise when a (in this case) ranged god would pick up SCS and end up needing to nerf the item fully in the ground, making the goal of adding it as an assassin item worthless. (even tho I would say SCS can be considered really strong).

And that some items favor certain gods/kits is not a problem. it depends on the thing benefit it gives which IMO needs to be the same to the same kind of user. fatalis is used to stick to targets. However this is way harder for melee gods then ranged (especially if you are close range that missing one basic doesn't really matter because they will stay in range. so yeah it may be range dependent but still). This advantage fatalis gives is different then an ability focused item being better on an ability focused god then on a basic attacking god.

Good explanation, thanks Dev.

Sometimes these comparisons make me want to try out other MOBAs, but the top down view and control just drive me crazy.

Takes some gettign used too. I don't know if you play normal rts games however that made it easier for me.

I used to, but I was never a huge fan. Old school Starcraft, and some of the others.

There may not be Hastened Fatalis for hunters soon.... Get ready for the mid season patch.


Edit: If you want a good RTS game try out the Total War game series.

+1 even tho it's a partial TBS.

Also interesting haven't seen any patch notes tho.

Patch notes should be Wednesday. I'm excited and scared.

Also I do have total war Warhammer but I think RTS is just not my thing these days.
