Who is the best 1v1 god as of 11/19

hahha I play Anhur alot, I honestly don't know why alot of people don't play anhur until recently I seen more probably because of the skins. I see him in conquest sometimes but not as a main pick for some reason.

In other game modes I hardly ever see him until recently since he got new skins more people are picking him.

Anhur will wreck your face though.
He clears waves with ease.

He has an escape

He has a stun

He has a slow/damage buff

his ult is only good if you have aim :)

Anhurs a skill shot character but if you have good aim and a brain he will wreck ya **** brah!

Sun wukongs strong as **** to brah!
so is hebo brah!

Sometimes I think hebos a cheap *** because how much cool down reduction he has

you know sometimes I think all the gods are pretty good.
Smite does have some good balancing compared to other games I played where everything is screwed up. I can honestly say I like alot of the gods and feel alright with almost any pick.

Because when team fights break out it changes the game and with certain combos its just a slight advantage.

Honestly, if we're talking just pure 1v1, Xbalanque is the best.

He has one of the best early games of any God, being able to do an insane amount of damage with his 2-3 combo by level 3. A good Xba in a joust will always have the upper hand and kills are imminent. He will outpush, and outkill.

Edit: Who the hell necro'd this post?

I believe any bruiser will go good against Arachne and Ra too since he can do his 3 if Arachne tries to jump on he and she will just end up damaging herself

Loki will ruin any squishy burst mage.
Chronos and Zeus will counter Loki, whilst Chronos counters Zeus. They are also both good at countering carries.
Ares is a good counterpick as well, because of how simply annoying he is to fight 1v1.
Finally, Chang'E usually outsustains anyone, and once she gets Polynomicon it can be GG.

EDIT: I didn't even realize this was necro'd..I just saw it in the recent comments/threads thing on the side >.>

It was necro'd 3 times actually. It was dead for 3 months, then it was necro'd, then dead for 1 month, necro'd, dead for 1 week, necro'd again. It just can't stay dead :P

Imo Arachne and Hel are very powerful 1v1 gods. Arachne can have a very strong early game, giving her the farm advantage in the mid-late game, and Hel has a somewhat weak early-game, but gets progressively stronger.

chronos of course! With his movespeed increase skill unable to aim him even at perfect ping...

I can't believe nobody has said Aphrodite. Lane her against any physical attacker, literally ANY, and she'll win by a landslide.

However she struggles to lane against other mages, but if you have a somewhat decent understanding of the character, you'll excel anyway.

It's all about sustain and burst damage.

Btw, I've only ever lost Joust two or three times, out of maybe 40 games? All Aphrodite.

This post is from 2012.. Aphrodite wasn't even released back then

True.

I really see 1v1 jousts being like the midlane and solo lane combined, minus ganks. In short, you see APC's, ADC's, and Bruisers a lot.

Personally, I think that Loki is one of the better 1v1'ers - though countered easily, since he has only one person to worry about (which is his specialty by far), he can really just act as if he's soloing, then when he maxes his 1, start picking off the opponent, one time after another.

Although, many gods counter him, Freya probably the strongest. Aphrodite could also work, if you build her with some prot.

Or, if the oponnent is an ADC, Vamana. That guy is the bane of physicals - in a conquest game, I was up against Ne Zha, Artemis and the BEE in the jungle, them at full health and me at half health. I won that ecounter.

If you count minion waves as 1v1 (so joust), Mercury or Zeus every day :P
