What Gods should be ban in rank on console? and other rank questions.

Hey Roman,

Well...I don't play ranked, so my response is dependent on the logic in my head, which may or may not be accurate =P

First, your question is waaaaaaaaaaay open-ended, as you're sort of asking about gods as a whole, and how you counter the better ones with builds...that could be a longer answer than even I would be willing to write!

Difficulty on Console vs PC:

This is why I choose specific gods to play on PS4...I'm decent (not good) on aiming left and right, but hate having to add the distance factor into that as well. It's why I choose Medusa instead of Artemis, for example.

At the same time, I think overall skill level comes into play regarding the ease of some gods in console. With aiming difficulty, some gods have better mobility to dodge, and some gods have really nice, AOE CC, like Ymir. On PC, people can almost immediately do a 180 and get the hell out of there, whereas on console, the analog turning is just slower, even with sensitivity turned up. So it's easier to catch some people on console, based on both control and skill.


Picking/Countering and Geb

Give a couple of god examples and we can give some specific answers...who in your experience is a commonly picked god on console, and in what role, that you'd like an example for?

And because that's the only response I have on that right now, let's also tackle your Geb question. Geb is a reactionary god with regard to his shield. In order to be effective with him, you're going to need to be quick with it to save teammates. You can be VERY quick on PC with mouse aiming...and you already know my thoughts on console. This is his absolute calling card. He has very little damage in his kit...just a knockup and stun, and that ult, although it sounds like it does a lot of damage, is mitigated...and because he doesn't have high damage, you're not going to build much pen. Knockup can be nice, but again...reaction...this time from teammates...is an Awilix going to be ready to ult from it? Will others have time to take advantage with quick skill casting?

The other thing is mindset...on Console, it seems like there are more YOLO people. Of course, it's a problem on both platforms. People just usually prefer to deal damage rather than control the field and soak damage. People usually get more satisfaction from getting kills, and think that the kill means they're doing awesome, even if they deal like 5,000 damage the entire match. So Geb is out when it comes to kicking ***, at least for most. At least, that's my opinion of it.

So...mostly you're playing Mid-lane? Is this for ranked Joust or Conquest, or duel?

Some gods, you have to bait them and get them to commit before doing anything yourself. Nox for example...if you're Bellona (duel then?) you should just never use your hammer until she uses her silence...use anything else than that. Nothing you can really do. But yeah, guess we would need to know more on role and mode also, to understand who you might be picking or choosing as a counter-pick.

Good and Must bans for PS4 Ranked Conquest (before mid season patch arrives):

Bellona, Osiris, Cernunnos, Susano, Ravana, Sol, Thoth, Fafnir, Ganesha, Terra, Hou Yi, Odin(counters bracer and gods who need phantom to escape his cage), Medusa, Sun Wukong, Hun Batz, Khepri, Geb (Not bad at all he is quite good but there are better picks). I would say The Morrigan but she is never picked (She is a good pick though if u can play her).

An example of counter picks would be Poseidon and Awilix if you are playing Thoth or Fenrir.

But if you need bans for a different game mode (im guessing Joust) please specify.
