hold on a sec... is that an Osiris BUFF I see? I mean, WHAT?

If you can explain it, I'll accept it. But at face value...

The folks at HiRez saw that Osiris was under-performing in matches so they buffed him. It's as simple as that.

Osiris did actually avoid the whole power creep thing because of the early nerf. Honestly, his ult was kinda **** once they made it not root, glad they at least made it better for team fights.

Now that I've experienced it, Osiris is SOOOOOO boring. His SFX are dull, his skills are dull, his attack speed is too chaotic; he's actually fairly easy to counter: Combat blink or beads, hell, even sprint. Plus the stun isn't even two seconds anymore, which I am glad about.

The buff was actually necessary because his jump is incredibly hard to hit. Basically, Osiris is the outcome of Kali's late game, and Nemesis' Warrior-Assassin attributes (which is why I don't understand why they both can't be assassins, their warrior attire is just...wrong.)

I'm more interested in the skins at this point, because SMITE has been a real let down with gods since Geb. I'm seriously doubting why I still play SMITE at this point. Probably because I love the concept of a third-person MOBA, but Hi-Rez just doesn't know how to execute it substantially enough for my taste. But I'll give them credit: these patch notes were actually pretty necessary. Keep trying, Hi-Rez.

Sounds pretty on point for a God that is basically a zombie.

Ohh nooo Bastet Nerfed... that's so bad man.
