APHRODITE, PELE & MEDUSA IN-GAME SHOWCASE - SMITE 2

I can't help but feel like aphro jungle or solo are gonna be pretty common. With teleporters being a thing and are a more lane focused jungle currently, I think it would work out pretty well with how much you rotate and the +1's to her kit would probably help her aggression quite a bit.

"Generally they're careful around adding permanent stacks" That's marticoras impact.

Why does Hirez have such a hard on for Aphro. Like can the game be healthy before flooding it with toxic characters?

Joust and duel coming in Jan?

hirez dropping patches like prime fortnite

my main medusa <3 i got 47 stars on her xD cant want to get her back :P

Pele is my favorite god im so excited after they add awilix ill be complete

How many gods in smite 2 after these 3?

pele's character model looks fantastic

I don't like the AI generated faces on card arts

Talking exclusively thematically, not balance, I would've understood Pele being switched to magical because of the fire/lighting going on, but not having INT scaling. She's so punchy and explosive, Strength makes so much more sense I feel, so I'm actually really happy they kept her STR only.
I feel like most people mix up magical/physical (are you getting hit by magic or something you can actually touch) and STR/INT (does it hit like a truck or is it more sneaky, agile or indirect)

“Aphrodite is really flexible and good in a lot of positions”
Yea I bet

Aphrodite AND Season 17?!?!?! The gays are being fed baby

I like these changes. They're minor enough to not completely change how the character plays but just add something a little extra to make them really interesting, this is honestly the best way to do it. With Pele its more of a reposition forward then a dash or movement ability, which is fine. I think the Medusa's 1 cooldown reduction should be on god hits only. That way its only up faster during god fights so her clear and objective secure isn't changed. Other than that one minor change they seem great changes.

Did they whitewash Pele?

Oh no! The DEI has hit the models

All looking mighty breedable

Medusa my goat is back guess i can re-download

Now that my main kupua Pele is back, looks like I may have to start playing again.

As a huge aphro enjoyer I'm saddened they didn't make more drastic changes to her kit.

i could be wrong i would need to test it first but the pele plus 1 seems to basicaly be nothing. cause pele knockup can be proceed and you still move around with it while animation starts up. giving it a dash seems worse considering. how short the dash is. you can move more distance after procing the 2 with boosted speed vs not dashing. from the way it looks.
which in actual fact lowers ability to react to plays. if your forced to dash. people can out play that easier. vs having free 360 degree movement with your mouse. instead you get locked into 1 direction.

FINALLY

I did eat as Aphro Solo once lol

I'd say everything looks awesome except for Medusa tail animation. It looks very clunky when turning

As someone who mainly has played League, the fact that healers aren't necessary or standard for supports is kind of wild. The thought that a character simply having a healing ability makes them hard to balance is kinda nuts to me

Cant wait for all these cringe eboys and Girls Spamming aphro susan
such a lame god

Adding Aphro and Pele in the same patch? Oh boy

YASS THE BEST UPDATE TIME TO PLAY AGAIN MY GIRL APHRO AND MEDUSA

These all look so incredible. I’m hoping when they bring Chang’e over they rework her kit a bit as well and flesh it out with more utility. I’d love her to be viable in support as well, and give more buffs to her teammates with her moon flower dance, Like it changes every time you use it in sequence, Movement speed, mana regeneration, and damage mitigation, all that scale with her own stats on each attribute.
I’d also love for her 2 to give a temporary illusion effect like Danzaburo too, and instead of just mana restoration for herself and her allies it’s cooldown reduction, .5 seconds for every hit mitigated and it spans out a lil further.
If they gave her ult a an absolution like effect after it goes off too, she’d bring so much more to team fights and would also make up for her lack of CC outside of her ult! ✨💃🏻🌕🐇🪭

Meanwhile I just want text chat back so i can tell my randoms when enemy relics are down

Huge Aphrodite fan.

apro is like wisp in dota 2 now
i like it :)

SwampyDeerLover is here… I sense it

Holly shit man everyone has a stun thats my biggest issue with smite 2 is you can and will get stun locked by every single character while they oil you up

They also leaked Alladin and Bari in the stream lol

why do I hear Cynthia's theme in the background during the medusa part?

Aphro support is def the play im gonna love it

I LOVE APH! cant wait till she comes out. I main aph in 1 aswell

The pele plus one definitely feels like what folks wanted the 2 to work like while chasing someone down in smite 1, but in 1 the 2 gets left behind with the amped 3

Aphro honestly should be rework to be a support. Either she's broke or a throw pick

Honestly ive been back since they added Cupid. The game is starting to feel more complete and all the gods are so fun to play im so hyped for the future of this game

So glad my main pele is in game but imma miss her Azula skin

I like smite 🎉❤

I'm so happy her int scaling for her healing is back. Not gonna lie, Hi-rez did make it weird with that change for healing abilities not scaling with anything but levels. I really like how it works in League of Legends, where heals/shields have really low AP scalings, but you can buy items that provide you with addiotional % of heal/shield power, so enchanters don't really deal a lot of damage. In Smite 1 healers used to deal a lot of damage AND heal a lot at the same time and that was a problem.

i like this idea that pele scales off strength, but flips to magical damage. they say that str/int and phys/magi power are decoupled systems, but refuse to fully tether that link. from a new player's perspective, she absolutely looks like a magical jungler.

Welp, we got Susano and Aphro. Time to hit my gay friend from 3 years who would pocket me.

Pele is here, time for me to switch to Smite 2

Constantly having to nerf one god over and over is a sign that the core kit needs reworked. Not extra or less effects, but an entire rehaul. I also disagree on that she should be dual support or mid. Trying to keep her this elusive state of "flexible" is washing her out as a competitive pick in a lot of games. (Not talking about pros)

og smite players remember solo lane aphro vs chang'e xD

Idk medusa still feels very much the same, hardly a change
