As a Cthulhu 1 trick I hate hunters so much

with Athena, I think it personally comes down to a factor of map mobility in her core design. Every Guardian is expected to roam at some point, I'd say it *usually* happens around the 10-15 minute mark in my games, but it can be earlier or later. Where this is impactful with Athena is that the EXACT MOMENT she hits level 5 she can ult to another lane for a gank, and if she's coordinating effectively with the enemy team's jungler, that turns a potential 2v2 (if your jungler counterganks) into a 3v2. (even nastier, a 3v1 if your jungler doesn't countergank.) She can rotate FAR faster for ganks than any other support, and this would be fine if she didn't have much utility IN those ganks, but unfortunately, Athena Taunt is one of the single most "this ability needs to be beadsed right now or you might be dead" abilities in the game. if this is, again, combined with the coordinated CC of an assassin (most have some kind of cc to help gank) and whatever cc your laner has, and you can potentially leave your opponent out of position for an extremely long time if they don't beads, forcing "beads or die" situations much earlier than other supports reasonably can. while i don't personally find it to be the most frustrating (a large majority of her utility in this regard fades once the other guardian starts rotating and especially once the laning phase ends, where she mostly becomes "dash in, taunt, pray to god your team kills the taunted enemy" and very little else, i can't help but understand and even empathize with people who hate being 3 man ganked at level 6

Personally I don’t really care for the global ult in the way that I think it’s OP or unbalanced, but I do definitely hate her taunt. Taunts in smite are kinda strange since they’re not very common and the few that are have inconsistencies. Like with Erlang he’s pretty much guaranteed to have rooted you earlier and thus you have DR stacks, and with Danza he taunts you towards a bottle that is probably away from himself and by extension his teammates instead of towards himself or his team. Athena is really the only one that comes to mind when thinking of taunts in the base kit, her taunt can absolutely be described as a “beads or die” moment as you put it

@Eidolon5150

4 ай бұрын

For me it is the taunt plus block stack.

I also rated Vulcan relatively high. I really do not like his play-style and personally find his kit boring. He has only a small CC on his Meatball and the entire kit is Damage focussed. While the turret is a bit annoying, because it's a bit braindead to use, I am really annoyed of Vulcan players using their Ults. More often than not my Teammates were trying to shoot for the Stars and missed their Ult. I've played Smite for about 8 Years, and It feels like I could count the well placed Vulcan Ults I saw with one Hand.

Guardians tend to be either underpowered or balanced with demands for nerfs. so not to suprised they are the least hated one as aside from the breif tank meta many years ago. They get very little in terms of proper balance chnages. Compared to hunters who get everything and then some with little thought. Rather shocked they are not hugher atm. Then again Mages kinda did recently take over almost every role.

@anthonyk3952

Not too shocking that the class who's main role is to enable teammates and are just meat shields with moderate damage otherwise is the overall least hated class. With the exception of Bake, guardians are for the most part not a self-sufficient class. Take for example Athena: she's the 2nd most hated guardian not because of her specifically, but because massive cone CC combined with global presence. And that's mostly due to her recent buffs in mid season 10; before then she was mostly seen in the same vein as Hachi or Agni where she was a solid 'not amazing but never bad' pick for her class/role.

Arachne pisses me off so much, it feels like I can barely do anything before she bum rushes me and disables me and kills me with no way for me to resist. I think the least hated gods who often have "Rules" you have to respect, their strengths so to speak, which allows you to engage them with knowing what to do when encountering them (Ra, Terra, Medusa, Horus). Some of the more hated gods are hated because it feels like there is no definitive what to do and not to do when fighting them, that doesn't make them Invincible or Overpowered , but it makes them frustrating to play against.

I’m so surprised the hunters weren’t higher. I rated Athena high because she’s like the one guardian who you HAVE to beads her normal ability almost everytime or you just die. And I rated Vulcan high purely because I used to main duel so I will always have a mini grudge because of that

Insanely cool to have access to this data, super interesting

I missed that this survey happened, but For me it's the Taunt that does it for Athena, way more so than any global rotation ability inherently. Ymir has his ice breath, sure, but that has a bit of a cast time so you can try to react and dodge it with a dash or something, or at least Beads. Athena is a character that, on top of the global rotation ability (that speeds up who she'd jumping on), has a gigantic ass dash and her taunt is a wider cone that comes out faster. So unless you're looking directly at her there's basically no tell, and then you're yanked all the way around before you Beads in response and have to reorient yourself. It's extremely frustrating because it doesn't really feel like there's counterplay beyond just itemizing against CC and even that's pretty limited in what it can cover. It feels bad _playing_ her and doing that to other people, too, just because as the Athena I'm really not doing a lot of interaction with the enemy I want to lock down, just walking at them and then pressing the Die button. That's basically my whole character. At least, that's how it's always felt to me. You're free to call it Skill Issue ig but this survey is about subjective experience and "feel", so. - Guan Yu Main

As i Fafnir main, i am very proud of my boy. I know he will never be the strongest but... i just love my angry little dwarf.

I also wish they would revert vulcans kit back to being completely turret based

ARACHNE's bitch ass on the other hand will slow me, make herself faster, DoT me while healing herself and stun me, and if im winning a fight against her she can just ult out and be fine. hou yi and mulan are annoying but their kits arent egregious compared to the nightmares at the top of the list xD.

Kuang is hated in casual due to him building tanky being so annoying. They just wait until they can execute, and they get out if it lands, which most of the time it does.

Yep, I basically dropped a comment earlier saying he can be just as effective as any strong god in the right hands, he's just mighty unpopular 😂 I get it tho. There are guardians with way quicker full kit burst for fighting, whereas Fafnir takes a whole 6 or more seconds (if you're spacing the damage for proc items) to utilize all his 7 abilities. That can make some people feel he's ineffective.

I was actually really surprised to see Vulcan on this list

7:25 I wouldn´t say I hate Vulcan extremly but ... But his extreme high range + his go backwards attack + his tower. Try to get in range of that without being oneshot. Also till you get there he has spells up again. If you don´t oneshot him he just keeps going and giving.

It's hard to separate kits that are actually just designed to be annoying with gods who were so OP during x or y meta that we grew to hate them and found them annoying... Recency bias is also just going to be a huge factor as well... It's fair to say that, in most MOBAs, that any over-tuned/OP god in any meta can be considered "annoying" and be hated. For example, if Smite decided to unreasonably buff Fafnir, I guarantee that he makes a huge jump towards the top just because recency bias. It's hard for people to objectively ask themselves, "Do I hate that they're strong, or do I actually find their base kit unpleasant/un-interactive/annoying/etc." If I challenge myself to really just pick the gods whose kits I believe are just NOT fun to play against, regardless of how strong they are in the current meta, here's my "S-Tier" list in alphabetical order: Aphro, Arachne, Danza, Discordia, Cupid, Hades, Herc, Horus, Jour, Loki, Nike, Nox, Serquet, Sett, Skadii, Morrigan, Tyr, and Vamana I have *never* found these gods fun to play against, regardless of how strong they were. Their kits are just annoying and - when they *are* strong - super abuseable. I excuse "newer" gods from the list because they're subject to hard nerfs and early reworks and I haven't got enough games against them to really bother putting them anywhere.

Most hated for me is Chang'e but its more the people that play her and less of the god design, they just tend to be the most toxic indiciduals up there with Aphro mains

I used to play Smite a long time ago and played only Aphro. I had no idea people hated her so much. I’m so sorry lmao. I was having fun tho

I respect the Vulcan #10, mickey movement speed passive allows him to outrun any diver(s) WHILE spamming abilities that create even more distance. Frustration factor is definitely there. Surprised that Ao is #5, way more volatile than the Whale and Nox, should be higher.

With Vulcan I personally hate him because he is a very safe glass cannon in that he has both a knockback and a dash while having an ult that is basically if you are in this you die. He is the only mage I feel that can run from a fight and then snipe you with his ult. Athena for a couple of reasons but mostly because I play a lot of the low cooldown modes and the most annoying type of CC is taunt. Athena can literally stop Loki and Thanatos from existing in those games with eternal taunts that are hard to miss. She is basically a hard counter to anyone trying to muscle in on your teammates with right clicks and doesn't have as high of a skill ceiling to achieve this annoyance. Erlang would also be just as annoying as Athena if his taunt wasn't on his ult. But thats my reasoning its probably a weak reasoning.

Vulcan is INCREDIBLY hard to stick to, so as a solo laner he is frustrating to deal with, the move speed in his passive makes him slippery and many of the meta solos can't effectively kill him

The reason I hate Vulcan is because of the bastions existing. He just gets to throw down turret early game and get so much tower pressure by doing absolutely nothing. Not only does he get pressure for free, he gets a lot of gold for free as they buffed the gold amount gained from destroying the bastions. Overall annoying and unfun to play against, unless I'm playing hunbatz and just 2 shot him

I'm surprised you're surprised AO Kuang is this high. This God has all the cheapest tricks in the game... Invisibility, execute + semi-global movement + healing, deals dmg even when built tanky, built for lifesteal, no brain needed just hide and execute. Nothing with this God requires skills. Smite would be better off without him in it and I will cherish every second of Smite 2 where he isn't released.

Mann the original Guan Yu release made me hate that mf for so long, even after the rework. Machine gun spear, assassin dmg, tanky af.

I’m surprised Thanatos and Anubis didn’t make it in the top 10 those 2 can carry games by themself and feel unstoppable when they get a level lead. Anubis can just straight 1 shoot you if you don’t have beads and Thanatos can play the entire game not doing anything waiting for someone to get low on health then execute

The reason for the athena hate is probably due to the taunt which is generally followed up by a whole set of CCs. I don't hate her as much as others, but she is up there. Edit: mixed up the name of the CC for Athena's 2, which to my credit, naming wise it makes more sense for it to be called a mez over being called a taunt.

I rated Athena high. The two second taunt is a death sentence to any squishy, global ult created instant pressure, and she’s just really really obnoxious

As someone who did the survey I can give answers for some of my reasoning on hating certain gods 1. Aphro: It's Aphro. 2. Vamana: Bad design who either sucks or is broken. Too seesaw-y and just unfun to play against when he's meta. 3. Ao Kuang and Aphrodite: Hyper-farm junglers that stomp the bad players you can, and WILL, get in your conquest matches. Ranked and casuals. Not fun to play against as a squishy build because they WILL get a lead, get one fast, and keyboard roll your healthbar down to 0. Not as bad in more balanced or high-rank games. Executes are still kinda lame though. 4. Morgan Le Fay: Just an annoying kit. Long range poke and lots of CC. She doesn't really need to be good to just be frustrating. 5. Thoth: Just really not fun to play into. Poke bot who shits out huge numbers with said poke and isn't even that vulnerable to diving if you just play smart. 6. Yemoja: Yes, obviously she's a very tough god to play correctly and has a shitload of stuff to learn to play her optimally. She's still spammy and just not fun to play against a good one, no matter how rare it is to even see her picked in the first place. If you see a Yemoja in the loading screen, they will be GOOD at her, and you just know you're not going to be having a fun duo lane or teamfights. I also didn't rate Athena super high on my own hate list but her being meta combined with taunt being frustrating and her global presence can just make her really annoying to play into, especially as a jungler or solo trying to dive stuff.

Athena's INSTANT, BIG AOE CONE SHAPED, UNDODGABLE, WITH NO COUNTER PLAY other than beads, 2.5 SECONDS FRICKING TAUNT is the reason athena is so hated. Playing against her is really not that different than playing against nox, without the oneshot factor but cc applied to everyone, it feels like you can take a shower after she hit you with her 2 and you will still be taunted when you come back. She is basicely a ymir with a dash, or a ares with a dash and a 7 second ult cooldown ...

I didn't vote in this, but the case for hating Athena is that her taunt is VERY strong, and up very often. If you're playing more casual modes like Arena she's a total pain as she's just getting beads/forcing kills constantly, and exaggerates the differences in team comp/player skill, which can often make the game completely unwinnable. I also think she's a little bloated, an example is the block stacks. There is no reason for her to have block stacks with how strong she's consistently been and the tools she already has over other guardians.

As an advocate for Vulcan hate myself, together with my bf who feels the same way: Everything but his ult. His passive: The god of the forge, for no reason becomes sonic for tossing abilities around? That makes zero sense. He has nothing to do with speed in any sense of the word. And thanks to another ability, he doesnt even need it. Its nonsense and undeserved, given how useful movement speed can be. His line ability/his 1: Generic line ability with a fast projectile like many other gods got that does just about as much, if not more damage. So tell me why it also has to be a cripple immune movement ability that also lets him have unreasonable safety in lane? It is litterally just what everyone else got, but better for no reason. Meatball: ... Quick and hard hitting move that knocks you around obnoxiously, no matter if useful or not, and also sometimes guaranties damage with his 1. It just works together in a obnoxious way that is never fun to mess with. Turret: ... How many more buffs are you going to give to this bs piece of trash ability? It sucks on paper, but actually forces you to take damage or waste an ability, making you predictable, limitting your space or putting free damage onto you. You have to choose one, which is always a loose loose situation unless the vulcan just wont use it. You manage to kill it, perhaps even without taking damage? Would be a shame if it is back up a second later... Its the definition of the meme of spongebob, trying to destroy squidwards clock, just for him to open a closet full of them, as if taunting you with how dispensible they are while you have to deal with them somehow. The only ability that isnt annoying is somehow his ult. Strong, matters, but easily dealt with with no frustration attached to it for the most part.

For me Athena’s fear is verrry annoying little surprised Kumbakarna wasn’t up there with all of his stuns

I didn't know this survey was happening. But a little insight to why people hate Athena: she hits you with her 2, if you don't have beads you're just stuck running at her team for a year while her team unloads anything they want into you for free. Also she presses 4 on a teammate, makes them tankier and also falls down to do decent damage. I'm glad my boy Fafnir is the least hated, he's a good time for me.

They were posted on my community page and in my discord :) I've done similar ones before and probably will again so keep an eye out!

Didn't participate in the survey, but I feel like Athena being that high is simply because of her taught and how easy it is to land. It is a beads check that just happens too often too easily.

I’m surprised that Anubis is not on here like he’s one of my top personal hated gods

Didn’t rate but 2 second taunt that you have to bds late game or u die may be the reason

As a Tiamat main, i'm surprised to see she's quite low on the hated list. Endgame Tiamat can be really disgusting is played right.

Im an athena player. And i think the reason that athena is hated is because of her taunt. Cause sometimes. I use her taunt to allow low hp allies to escape. For example. Say you are playing as kali. And you got my allied hel to 5% hp ready to kill her. But i come up behind you and taunt. Hell escapes bevause you couldnt kill her because my taunt made you focus on me. Allowing hel to pop her 3 giving her movement to escape. BUT I AM A VERY LOW ELO SO TAKE THAT WHAT YOU WILL

I'm an Athena main as well and that is so true. I've had my teammates not realize I'm actually saving them and complain I'm doing nothing when I am constantly taunting the enemy away from them when they need to escape

Very surprised to not see Thanatos I feel he the most banned god in ranked

Cliodhna, pele, maui and cthulu being so low is wild.

As someone with ~800 hours of Smite I seem to be pretty backwards of the Smite community. Of the top 10 favorite gods I had the following ranked pretty low (Fafnir, Terra, Cerberus, Clio) Of the top 10 least favorite gods I had the following ranked pretty high (Vamana, Loki, Freya, Athena, Vulcan)

Ao-Kuang is annoying to so many because they often get caught out using a squishy with no counter CC and even if they aren't immediately burst down, they usually die to the execute anyway because he did enough damage before they could panic-Aegis. Plus, he's perfectly viable with tank items as well (due to his ability scaling and the execute) which all but eliminates his only other weakness outside of hard CC - which is getting burst down himself. Athena is hated 100% because of her taunt. Maybe this isn't so much of an issue in higher levels of play but having an AOE TAUNT ON DEMAND with a ludicrously low cooldown (eoth full cooldown - which you're gonna be near to or have as Athena anywau) is just plain broken. Sure, global mobility is a bit harder to deal with in higher levels of play but you have to remember that MOST Smite players are casual players and you very rarely get full stacks or teams of any number that regularly play together (or even just play enough at a higher level) like most of the higher ranked/tiered players do for them to be able to adequately play around such a mechanically overpowered ability that can change the course of an entire teamfight with a single use and then be back up again less than 10 seconds later. Half the players dont have mics and/or can't communicate with their team anyway due to not being partied up and vgs isn't always adequate, nor is everyone completely versed in all of the options, nor do they even always have tome to stop playing to use it - let alone type out a custom message (especially on console where custome messages are literally impossible unless tou can afford to sit still for the next 30 odd seconds or more typing individual letters with a thumbstick. Even her global presence, while frautrating in it's own right, is made exponentially more frustrating (dialing it all the way up past 11 to "straigh bullshit") by the fact that the moment she lands, she can instantly "nope" anyone (even multiple people coz AOE) out of doing ANYTHING for the next few seconds unless they have beads, have them up AND are willing to use them to break the taunt early (which isnt always enough anyway) and continue chasing or whatever, instead of holding onto them for a genuine teamfight or to save their own lives if Athena is merely defending someone rather than joining the offence. Lastly, the global issue is only really an issue in Conquest and there are literally 5 other modes where is't far less relevant (plus the MotD depending on what it is at the time) and i think your mainly playing Conquest has also coloured your perceptions a bit. I play EVERYTHING. There's no other way to say this Intersect: The fact you're so puzzled by her placement here and seemingly unaware of this notion of her taunt showcases a bit of an elite/st bias in the same way that people past a certain level of wealth end up out of touch with the realities of life for your average person, let alone poor people 🥲 You're just too pro to understand what it's like for us poor plebs mate... and you're a bit of a purist Conquest snob 😉😂 The Vulcan ranking is similar to the Athena issue but to a much lesser extent. It's just that his turret is a braindead ability where you literally set and forget. By the time he's built and/or he's levelled it up, the amount of damage it does is kinda silly for an ability that you can throw down which not only zones a decent area, but actively auto-targets your enemies with unmissable attacks and that lasts quite a long time unless somone can some how get around it's zone to attack it safely (otherwise risking getting chunked) or, waste either time and autos or valuable abilities to destroy it - which means you are both distracted from enemy gods and also lowering your fighting potential against them. Hell, even early game it does very solid damage. When Vulcan throws this down in the middle of a fight, aside from it accidentally getting wrecked by AOEs (which is rarer than you'd think - particularly if the Vulcan player is even somewhat savy in it's placement), it forces you to choose between ignoring the turret and taking serious damage, destroying the turret and both wasting resources on it rather than your enemy and becoming vulnerable in the process or retreating entirely. NONE of those are good options and again, all this from a simply set and forget ability that is activated with a simple button press and that's it. That and the fact that with full cooldown, Vulcan can usually throw another one down IMMEDIATELY by the time it's destroyed, let alone by the time it expires - ergo it's up a massive percentage of the time, even if you devote the necessary resources to destroy it near immediately. Hope this helped clear things up for you mate, see you in the next one.

I only agree with Athena being in the top ten most hated because of her taunt. Although that's just my personal hatred for that specific CC so I completely understand if people disagree. Also Aphro being number 1 most hated is a beautiful sight to see.

Taunt is fine, it's just her global pressure that's the worst part

I'm more surprised about Athena being in the top 10 than I am Sobek not being there. I expected that if a Guardian that wasn't Bake Kujira would be there, it would be him and seeing Athena there is, while understandable, still a bit shocking.

I was so happy, to see Fafnir so low. He ist my favourite Guardian followed by Ares . Je my main hunters Skadi and Ullr. I understand why they get this rating. Im honest, my personel score for Awilix is 6-7. I don´t like her Ultimate.

Clio least hated? Probably only because she's rarely picked and played well. I spam her ATM and I can hardly imagine what would be more infuriating than some of the moves I'm able to pull off. Especially late game, where you can blink in, 100-0 a mid/ADC in 1 second, dash out and hide in a wall.

I'm surprised cthulhu, fafnir and svalanus is that low because their kit especially their ultimate is annoying to fight against but they really haven't been meta lately. They just been mid

man im suprised maman brigette isnt higher along with vulcan

The mage I hate the most is Hera actually, at any moment she just make shield larger than her whole health bar, and summon a personal guardian. The warrior I hate the most is Gilgamesh, this fucker is an assassin with a bigger health bar The assassin I hate the most is Arachne, yeah who would've thought? The hunter I hate the most is Cupid, there's nothing really wrong with his kit, I just hate his design. Zim is the only good cupid skin. As for guardians Cabrakan, same reason as Gilgamesh really.

The irony of Aphrodite (Venus) and Vulcan (Hephaestus) being estranged spouses and bookending the top ten most hated list has me cracking up.

Love Vulcan's kit and design, the only problem I have and why I hated him a lot is how much they've buffed his turret. It wasn't necessary at all, and Smite DEVs don't understand the reason why he didnt do so well isn't because he's bad, there are just better picks. Buffing his turret recently only made me realize how much I hate going up against it. Now he can deploy it faster due to reduced CD, it has more HP, so you'll have to really on ADCs focusing it or mages using an ability to get rid of it. But by that time, it's back up again. It also ignores protections for some reason? So even with max protections, you'll take 200-300 per hit, and it hits pretty fast, so in a teamfight, if nobody is on top of vulcan turret, your guardian will passively get chunked for 1/3 of their HP, and they won't be able to destroy the turret on their own. Now mix that in with the rest of Vulcan's kit, and he becomes extremely frustrating to play against. That's why you're seeing him being played in ADC now. Guardians can't tank it very well, and it takes focus off the ADC in attacking it, acting as effective peel. Then Vulcan can use the turret to bait you in a position that'll make it harder to destroy the turret, either making you take more damage, or having to back off. It has too much pressure now, and ignoring a percentage of protections doesn't help either. Don't get me wrong, I love Vulcan and Im a Vulcan main. But even I agree that his turret has become overtuned. It took skill to know when and where to use your turret, but now you can just place it every 4-5 seconds with barely any mana cost at all, and it's just free passive damage for no skill whatsoever. Typically you place the turret down when you're about to initiate a fight with someone, not when it's off CD.

How did the dragon not make this list? Cant stand playing against him every game

I’m support nezha didn’t make it as high considering her kit is pretty busted, also I build full dmg faf and it’s a menace late game

Athena shouldn't be a surprise she's been a meta pick for years now and is one of the most picked not just guardians but gods in the game with one of the most infuriating ccs in the game (taunt) and ridiculous global rotations

I'm a support and mage main so I understand why no one has any issues with Fafnir especially due to not having had a new skin in years but Athena being hated quite a bit is understandable especially that taunt. She can be extremely annoying if you play her right. But I truly don't like (Au Koung, sorry if I spelled this wrong) and Arachne since they are pretty safe and just bull shit to fight against if the person even has a shred of common sense

Warriors are generally somewhat disliked, and the most disliked guardian, by a mile and a half, is a Warrior in design. Unkillable DPS is just frustrating, probably also why Vamana and Aphrodite are top of the list too.

Loki not being the most hated assassin is a war crime Okay so I see where he's at 7, the world makes sense again

Thana has a lot of counter play you can do to mitigate his effectiveness. When they made aphro a tank that shares prots she just keeps one person perma alive and basically has to kill herself to be under any pressure and invis is just not a fun mechanic to play around

Athena was always a strong guardian, she was not hated only because of her ult but her taunt is one of the most impactful guardian abilities in the game, also surprised that kumbhakarna is not on the top most hated, in almost most game mods he's such an annoying god to play against. Also Vulcan has insane poking abilities, if dragged down in the teamfight he chips at your health a lot + the turret is annoying, yea.

I'm in denial that Ganesha didn't rate at least a 6 or maybe I just have a personal grudge against him.

Nox is my number 1. A mage should not have such dmg, cc while having a dash and cc immunity with dmg reduction. Shes toxic for the game its only less because people have a skill issue and cant hit her easy abilities.

I hate a good Janus and Clio it’s so frustrating

Athena taunt is one of the most obvious abilities on earth and Vulcan is hated pretty unanimously in the duel community :3

Fafnir is such a good god if you’re playing to shred objectives

I personally hate nu wa, I definitely hate Vulcan but more so his canon than anything. Nu wa I just absolutely hate, there aren’t words in the dictionary to describe how much I would love it if nu wa was just outright removed. But if she has to stay I want her stun removed, her minions are stronger than most jungle monsters and deal far more damage plus they’re pretty much impossible to get away from and then she only needs to hit one, which she usually hits multiple anyway, to get a long ass stun combined with an absolutely ridiculous amount of damage. I know a lot of people hate her ult more than anything but honestly I couldn’t care less, in my 7 years of playing this game I am dead serious when I say I’ve been killed by it less than 10 times and the few times it does kill me I’ve had less than 200 health on a squishy and the kill absolutely deserves to go to whoever got me that low cause it sure as hell wasn’t nu wa 🤣😅

Vulcan is like one of the least annoying mages by a mile. He has zero crowd control, an escape that you basically have to be on pc to use properly, a pet that hits only a single target that you as the player dont get to chose and an ult that hits only about 1/3 of the time. As a player who plays all mages, i am legitimately curious as to why he makes your blood boil?

Hello, Inters3ct and everyone! I'm a 37 star Fafnir, and I just wanted to drop a lil input on his rating here lol. Being that I'm a math/statistics guy, trust me when I say that I was very surprised to see him not only as the least hated, but by such a wide margin. I genuinely believe that this happened not just because I personally feel he is a very honest and skill expressive God, but mostly because Fafnir is not a popular god. Everyone actually forgets Fafnir. Any time there is even the SCENT of a Fafnir in the lobby, it's me 99% of the time. 😂 Godspeed to all my Faffy brethren out there. Stand as tall as the dragon he becomes! Edit: all the comments reminded me how much we just want another skin lmao. I get it, making two new models for an unpopular character doesn't exactly sound like cash money - especially since Faf doesn't have boobs or booty to shake around. 😂 I'm fine with his kit as it is now (obvi I'd love any buffs), he just needs more incentive for people to play him.

hands down Nox is the most annoying and needs a rework, it just isn't fun being trapped for 2 seconds whilst everyone wails on you

As a vamana main some times i hate my self as well

athena's taunt is like the main reason I can't stand her, like its not bad conceptually but it's kinda bloated stat wise and has a deceptively long range, she also just does a strange amount of damage for a gaudian and her passive is good like it's not bad but it's a really stupid passive for a support. she just kinda doesn't feel great to play either.

Nox hate is so overblown. Vulcan hate is justified and honestly, understated on top of Vulcan being a better mage in every gamemode compared to Nox. . Vulcan’s entire kit is anti-melee but each ability functions independently of one another. Though despite this, they have good synergy with one another. Additionally, he has some of the lowest cooldowns of mages and throughout his lifespan, cooldown reduction is a staple of his best builds. Vulcan’s whole identity is that of a burst mage but his abilities allow him to all peel for himself in different ways. His 1 repositions himself while dealing damage while not being affected by Cripples, his 2 allows him to control a large area and dissuade anyone from chasing him, his 3 knocks enemies away from him or into his abilities, and his ultimate is a large AOE last resort damaging nuke. . Vulcan just isn’t fun to play against in any gamemode.

Ps: Athena and nox are nice to play, but annoying to fight against. Getting Cc chained is fustrating :D
