Hello everyone. I'm not exactly a pro player, but I've been using this build for awhile and I've done overall really well as Thanatos. Hopefully those of you that decide to use this end up doing just as well, if not better. please give me feedback as to what you think i should swap around or change out. Thanks for reading, game on!

The three things I see that I would try to address are the lack of overall movement speed, cooldown reduction, and penetration.
I am aware of the Scent of Death speed and penetration buff. However, They are both on a cooldown. considering 90% of all builds include boots like Warrior Tabi which has a speed increase of 18%, and most gods having base physical protection between 60 and 80 at level 20. you are going to have a hard time with sustain. With no CD reduction, the Scent of Death buff has an uptime of 6 sec with a cooldown of 13s. That means you have 7 seconds of down time where You will be at least 8% slower to jungle and gank and only dealing 50-60% of the damage you should be able to. This also leads to the third thing. Cooldown reduction (for me at least) is imperative. It is not super important for ganking but if you ever find yourself boxing another god, or in a team fight where you will not be getting multi kills right away. Those 13 seconds will seem like forever. Also, a 54-second ult is Extremely helpful. :)
If There is something I am missing please let me know.
Thanks.
