His passive is Bumba's mask.
His 1 is 27 Transformations.
His 2 is alright.
His 3 is a ward.
His ult is Pillar of Agony + Thunderstrike.

You seem to be new here. We don't really copy things. Creativity is valued and sought after here, and what makes a good god idea is balance+fun factor. This god seems pretty boring, since I've basically already played him.

Thank you for your honesty, however honesty can be conveyed without being offensive. If you want to break things down, many abilities of many gods are virtually the same, or mixed and matched. I apologize for making a suggestion and will refrain from such in the future since it's unwelcome. Thank you.

As stated at the end of the post, this is a very ROUGH idea. Instead of shutting it down outright, helpful advice, and comments would aid in taking the raw idea to shape it into something polished. This consideration was ignored, when discouragement was thrown upon it.

Can it be adjusted more? Yes. I said as much already when I posted. But this was discouraged.

It didn't seem like he was trying to be rude, just it came off a little blunt. Don't be discouraged keep trying!

I didn't shut it down. This would be shutting it down.

"Your post is horrible, never make a god idea every again. This is the worst thing I have every seen and you are a disgrace to the community"

I didn't say that, did I? You seem to have exaggerated my "discouragement"

Honestly a rough draft implies that the abilities are original and polished, but the numbers need to be tweaked. Stealing ideas is not "rough draft" as that would require a complete rework.
Sorry for any offense, but I think you took it a little too harshly.

Stealing ideas...there is not really any other way to take that but to be offended. If you look at many of the already integrated gods, you will notice a great many of their abilities are incredibly similar.

What you describe as a rough draft would not be rough, it would be a final draft that's being tweaked. A rough draft is a basic compilation of the concept to get a very early idea of what the final could eventually look like, a rough draft lacks polish and sometimes rough drafts need to be entirely reworked or adjusted, it's a foundation to begin with. Which is what I had posted. To approach it with "you are stealing, so this is trash" attitude does not lend itself to any positive advice to fix the problems that may be seen.

Yeah, the numbers need to be tweaked, and some of the ways the abilities function need a tweak here and there as well before it could be considered a complete concept. What you came to the concept with is, "this is not original nor creative and boring." Met with immediate rejection, and not a single word or suggestion for improvement. I took it for what it said, if i am taking it harshly, it is because that is how it was presented.

I'm sorry, but I disagree. I will draw comparisons between abilities of gods and the characters of other MOBAs, but not between gods. Except for MAYBE the heals (and even then they tend to have small variations that set them apart) most if not all abilities in smite are different. Also, yeah, Literal Bumba's passive makes this guy useless outside of the role you chose (Bad) Sun's dash but less cool and seemingly needing to target someone (...how?) an essentially true damage cone with fairly hard CC (Bad) a needlessly simple ward (Not really bad, but come on man add some flare!) and an ulti that is essentially Enigma's from Dota2 but with less detriment to those inside it and no channeling, I'd suggest reworking this. Like, a lot. I will post actual suggestions at a later date, for now HW calls.
