Chaac's pretty dumb for sure. His weakness lies in his levels 1~3, so during the time where the jungles are in the long lane, you can push him around a bit. He needs to auto to use his passive, so mages can zone him off and force him to burn mana. It's not easy, and really only someone like Ra or Chang'e can do it consistently, but he's not unbeatable.

I think the main thing is that, while he's not difficult to play, to straight up carry isn't faceroll. Since his teleport is tied to two of his nukes, it requires a bit of planning when it comes to positioning his 1. His CDs are also pretty long until you finish Jotunns.

I think a good Chaac player is one of the scariest things in the game, and his late game is as insane or worse than Nemesis or Tyr. However, I don't think he's in an OP position at the moment.

The player bases aren't separate, but they have servers in EU or NA, so while you can play cross server, someone might be lagging. Not uncommon, as sometimes I'll queue up solo and still be on an EU server for no reason haha.

You can add me on but idk when I'll be on next: Requizen

Reveal for Bastet. A bit late, but whatevs.

Bastet has been very strong since her mini-remake. Her abilities are all WAY easier to hit now and come out faster, so her burst is higher and more reliable. Not to mention her attack progression is amazing now. I've seen her picked or banned in pretty much every League game I've played, it's a big turnaround.

I think I missed the launch tourney. Are there any vods of it? I want to check out some high level Smite play.

You can find it on twitch.tv/smitegame though they also uploaded it to youtube, just search for "Smite Launch Tournament".

Here is the first match of the finals of that tournament.

Draft starts at 14:30, Match starts at 18:18

Patch notes up!

Revive passives coming to Smite lol

It looks like Nemesis 3 will be getting big nerfs or even completely changed in the future. Can't say I'm happy with that since her 3 is really unique. It is a bit powerful at the moment - maybe just removing either the damage reflect or the heal (not both).

New god looks neat, a decent way to balance revive passives imo.
Qin's Sais nerf was needed, dunno who'll build it now.
Book of Thoth buff might see me starting with it on Ao more often
Bastet nerfs mostly justified, she was super stronk
Chaac ult nerf super justified, no reason he needed an invuln (he's still really good, 50% DR is worse than 100% but still awesome)
Hun Batz really did not need that buff. It's nothing overly strong, but having a larger window to teleport is a pretty powerful change
Don't think Merc needed a buff but ok
Nemisis nerfs might not be enough, but it's a start.
Odin nerf is pretty noticeable. But, he was top pick/ban status for jungle and support, so it's understandable
Nifty Thor buffs, won't change too much though.
Tyr could probably use some more nerfs on top of this one. His heal wasn't the only strong portion of his kit, his offensive 1/2 -> defensive 1/2 combo being able to instakill a character while building tanky is more of the issue. Still, a nerf's a nerf.
Vamana nerfs are pretty understandable. I don't think he was too overwhelming (counterable, but annoying), this should bring his sustain down to levels that people can keep up with.
Random Zhong buff? Dunno haven't seen him lately lol

New fat man is hilariously fun

Not sure how effective the warrior nerfs were, I haven't played any ranked with new patch yet.

Nemesis is still top pick/ban. Her nerfs barely hurt her at all. Sure, the CD/Duration change is noticeable, but her burst and sustain damage is still through the roof, and her shield needs some tweaking before I stop banning her.

Tyr change is basically nothing. His heal was never the thing making him imbalanced. Ok maybe he's a bit easier to bully in lane, and he's not as safe in the jungle, but he's still going to be high tier by any definition of the word. Knockup is by and far the best form of CC, since you can't cleanse it once it's in motion, and his is on a short CD that also displaces you and does a bunch of damage. Maybe the 2 shouldn't increase the knockup time, just do the extra damage, but still it would be a very strong ability.

Odin was still pick/ban when I played, but I think that'll change soon. Yes, his damage is still high. Yes, his ult is still crazy good. But he can no longer lock people up as well with his slow and he's not nearly as baseline tanky as before, even if he has more stats than any other warrior. I still imagine him as high-tier, but not as bad as before.

Haven't seen Vamana or Chaac since patch. From the notes, I imagine Chaac is still fine but less stupid, and Vamana might be less annoying as fuck to deal with in lane.
