top 5 - Internet connectivity - ping spikes - rude players - uncooperative players - language barrier (you'll simply see I Ching lines when trying to converse with them) that's how it makes me get more L than W's recently. it's not the gods. 😢
Yes. That’s what people look on to. Rich information clip made by sluke is good but most of times, people just want to dig straight into the main contents
For me she actually is one of the easier mages.. where as janus is way harder in my case.. then again because i mainly play hunters my aim is better than my depth perception 😂 so if i play mages like janus i’ll just be missing the orb attack at all times.. the portal is easy to hit.. also scylla isn’t that hard for me either i played a match with her yesterday and i died 2 times and carried the team with my raw damage... poly scylla is best scylla
YuhBoy DTOY to effectively use her you need to have a basic knowledge of every class and you have to be good with a decent amount of God’s to choose from
@@IkarosNeko You'd sure as fuck think that but outside of the competitive level you'd definitely be surprised. I've played low level ranked with people with like 10 mastery stars on a god and still cant utilize their kit properly.
I rarely happen to get 1v1s as a Guardian main. I would be fighting someone 1v1 and kicking their ass when they finally realize they can't take out a tank all alone so people start ganking the shit out of me. Then of course it turns into a 2v1 or 3v1 and sometimes I prevail but most times I get gang banged.
Tank v Tank generally plays out as such; -Use 'damage' abilities on each other, deal a solid 5 damage -Whack each other for 15 seconds straight -Rinse and repeat until one of the tanks realize they are doing less damage, which that tank then *just leaves* lmao
That was 2 years ago? Damn where did the time go. Edit: also id replace ne zha with rama due to the fact that i play on console. Rama ult on console is way harder and basics in general are harder. He doesnt have any abilities that are easy to confirm they are all stims for his autos so it makes him harder on console.
@@modernwarhero8447 ne zhas kit on console really isnt harder than ramas due to the fact as the other guy said all ramas abilitys are basically steroids for his autos
Obviously its He bo, baron samedi, neith, poseidon and loki Edit: i could only list 5. Every god was or is broken in their own way. (Im a scylla main mastery X and its super hard to use your ult considering your hit box gets bigger and that the animation takes so long so 1 point to dukesloth)
Nu Wa is still a god I find is hard to play as. Even though I main her, what I’ve found is that she is very late game and if you don’t have a great start it’s very hard for her to bounce back. Her ult does practically nothing at level 5 (and even in late game if you time your aegis or something to protect you it won’t do much), her clay soldiers even with the targeter are difficult to land especially if the enemy team has a lot of burst damage, and similarly to what you said about ares, when you see her use her fog you know she is going to do something. Which makes her metal shard the one ability that can do some damage, but even then it is sometimes hard to hit because of how thin it is.
Lian Fajardo the combo is simple here, use fog, then put soldiers inside, proceed to engage diagonally so aoe cant hit both you and soldiers, and when the soldiers attack and lower thier movement speed use metal shard to stun and by then if you built properly you can do it again in 2 or more seconds.
As a Nu Wa main, I also want to add on that hitting the clay soldiers without hitting the God with the line ability doesnt do much damage either. It offers the stun, but then she has no other damaging abilities to follow it. You have to hit straight on, which can sometimes be difficult for gods that can joke easy as well as gods that can dash/leap away.
My honest top 5 hardest: 5. Agni: I put him here just because he has a high skill ceiling. In order to REALLY understand and play Agni to his full potential, it takes some practice. Learning all the interactions with his 1 and the different ways he can engage and not engage is so important to Agni and I see a lot of people do it wrong. 4. Sylvanus: I applaud anyone that can do more than blink ult and heal with this god. Those true Sylvanus players, out there grabbing and rooting people left and right, I don't know how they do it. The grab travels so slow, and the root is a pretty small radius to land. I don't know, I always found him really difficult personally. 3. Chronos for pretty much the same reasons as you said. 2. The Morrigan for pretty much the same reasons. 1. Terra: Holy crap playing this god is like solving a puzzle constantly. The ability combos and the ways you can use them and when to use which ability to do what and how to use her ult and when and it's all just a bit overwhelming. I mean, she has her full damage combo of just running through her monolith then making walls and running through those. She has the combo where you stun with the walls and then drop the monolith then run through the monolith to get a root after the stun wears off. She's got the monolith root into wall stun combo. There's very specific times where you have to ult with Terra and you can't just waste it because it's so goddamn powerful if used correctly but so bad if used wrong. The difference between a skilled Terra player and a bad Terra player is astronomical. Honorable mention: Kuzenbo. He's another favorite of mine, but I see a lot of people playing him wrong. Using his 3 to push people the wrong way, or his ult to push people out of teammates abilties yadda yadda. I don't think it's the god itself though, and moreover people's game sense around Gold where I sit.
Can someone tell me why as an assassin or hunter you wouldn't run crit? Why I run just physical power on let's say Thanatos I hit like 260/170/450 but when I run crit I hit something like 770/450/1100. I don't get it
Zeus, Vulcan, Anubis, Awilix, and Fenrir. Zeus Vulcan and Anubis, bc they're immobile mages and your positioning needs to be impeccable just to survive in a high ranked game, as well as using your kit properly and knowing exactly what to build into every matchup. Awilix bc if she's played alone against no jumpers and with no teammates with synergy, you have to position well in fights to even land your knockup, much less using your featherstep to immune the best abilities from your enemies. Fenrir is different in that positioning and itemization aren't important like the others, but you have to know when to jump, when to cancel your 3, when to auto cancel, when your runes reset, etc. Takes a very large amount of comfort with his kit to use effectively in ranked.
Glad to know it’s not just me who finds the Morrigan difficult. I’ve played moba games before but I just started playing smite last month and I’ve tried out a variety of different roles but the Morrigan was the hardest for me to use. Her ulti slowed me down a bit.
I can mostly agree with this list :) Lately I was playing Fafnir a lot and haven't felt him as outstandingly difficult until I started whiffing my hammer throws after a few games (I guess I got tired and kept playing instead of going to sleep) - without the hammer Fafnir can't do much - his jump hitbox is the weirdest hitbox in the game and his ult takes time and leaves him at risk due to the long animation. Yet I would put Ganesha on the 5th position of the list as his ult+3 combo is quite hard to aim and apply and his 2 requires a well cooperating team to work at all. The rest of the list looks quite like my list. I can't aim Chronos' abilities because his staff covers all the aiming area and his stim requires you to tick-tock in your head all the game. He's difficult kinda the way pre-buff Ullr was. Ares could share place with Sylv because Sylv's 3 is quite a skillshot that might be as crucial as Ares' 1. I'm bad at aiming down Anhur's pillar+impales and the risk of whiffing a team setup with an impale or pillar makes him one of the hardest gods in game. Also, his pillar is yet another thing that allows Anhur to play himself (Chern is just waiting for that pillar to get in and wait out all the ults in the world). And I can't argue against the logic behind placing Morri at the 1st place.
1: Morrigan: Not only play style but bugs. 2: Cu Chullain or however you spell it: A stance change gos with no manual swap and Rage instead of mana causes builds to change and differ. 3: Nox: No combo, no damage unless you ult. 4: Khepri: You're a guardian that also has a rez and as such most people will want you dead so charging and enemy and holding them to you is a possible death wish. 5: Loki: A good Loki knows how to ult in, get the kill and get out but learning builds, who to ult, when to ult, where to ult, how to get out, who's near and who's leaving, but his raw power is why he's lower. Honorable mentions: Ganesha: You gotta get close to do much, almost like Khepri but you have the silence to help you out Osiris: Who are you? Hera: It's like nobody can even see you, gg Teemo: Very low HP hunter that is quite adorable but can preform well
Ligma Dedede honestly the morrigan is one of the easiest mages to play. She’s got a good stun, an invis, and her 2 increases the damage she does to the enemies that she hits. The only difficult thing is to learn how to use ult effectively like when to use it and who to switch to.
I really don't have a ton of difficulty picking up new God's nowadays, but if I had to say the ones I had the most trouble with originally (I have all the God's currently in game mastered, so I played/play a decent bit of all the gods); 1 Terra - I really wasn't feeling her after they nerfed her into the ground and then some, so I haven't picked her up lately, but she was difficult to get good stuns and ults and extra deployable break damage and not get bursted down in .2 Susano - I still can't reliably hit an AA cancel. That is all. Achilles - this one can be summed up to build quality. Herc - when I first went for his mastery, I could NOT hit that combo for the life of me. Lot easier now, but boy was he a struggle the first couple games. Cabrakan - When I was going for his mastery, I didn't understand why people called him Fat Loki. Until I came to play him more. and build him right. Ravana - Did not like him at all when he came out, my builds sucked, and couldn't get the playstyle right. Haven't really returned to him in a while, so might do that soon.
What no Nox come oooon? Even outside of landing her combo consistently. A high lvl Nox will figure out when to use her ult to get the most use out of it. Such as timing it fight before a huge enemy AOE ult or even just a team fight or securing a kill. Her 2 is also amazing for zoning and canceling a lot of abilities.
Trai Harder That’s why she isn’t hard. She has one of the best CC’s, a combo that hits for around 1300 damage if you built cool down, and she also has an insanely great escape/engage (if you bring a loki or athena). She’s also got an ult that dishes more damage and goes further than a Ra snipe. She’s not too hard,
Kobe Gamble dont forget her ult its also easier to hit than Ra's and does more than pure damage too. Also the cc in her 2 its INSTANT. Freaking goddamn instant silence is hard? Whats next? Zeus is hard? At least he doesnt have a dash to get untargeteable that also, for whatever reason, does 20 million damage.
Keep in mind, I don't play conquest and favor Arena so use this as your context: 5. Nike: No reliable engage, no reliable damage, mediocre scaling and a basic attack chain not suitable for auto attack focused builds. Not to mention her passive takes awhile to stack up so you're basically playing the first half of the game without a passive. Nike's basically the goddess of wave clear cause that's her only redeeming quality(love her though) 4 Cuchulain: His passive takes alot of micro management to use. You not only have to account for stacking rage but also the delay of the transformation and staying above 85 rage for 3 seconds. I can't tell you how many times I've died trying to land a 5 man knock up expecting to go big boi mode only to die before it goes off. I build tank, damage, hybrid, I just can't seem to use him effectively. 3 Loki: I feel like he's got alot of the same problems Ares does. Loki's main focus is to target players who aren't paying attention to him or prepared for the amount of damage he can do. A good team can play around Loki's shenanigans and nullify his role in a team comp. He's an assassin to reliant on his enemies mistakes to play consistently. 2 Kuzenbo: How to counter Kuzenbo: Stop auto attacking him. Your plan of action as Kuzenbo is to put yourself in front of the enemy hunter and pray to god that they're dumb enough to auto you while you have your 2, thorns and Nemean lion(All of which have received nerfs) Other than that, you can try to blink behind people and push them into your team but that's unreliable at best. Also, don't watch his Nene. 1 Thanatos: I just straight up can't play Thanatos. He's too feast or famine, I died if someone sneezes on me, I miss my ults too much it's just a bad time for everyone. Bottom line, don't let me play Thanatos(even though I want to so much)
Nike consistently has the highest or one of the highest win rates in ranked! You might not feel like you're doing much, but your auras do. She's one of the easiest gods to win with because you don't need skill, you basically need to exist, and since her ult makes her impossible to kill, existing isn't hard.
I suppose but just existing in a game isn't the extent of her gameplay. She's mostly powerful at higher levels of play rather than the lower ranks I play in.
In Conquest: No particular order: Cabraken (Not easy to win with him) Rama (Really ambiguous for rookies what ability to level up first) Kali (Hard to aim her 2 and to be against gods with a lot of CCs) Susano (He has a short teleport and 1 dash but that doesn't mean he is safe in team fights) Aphrodite (Her passive is not good enough, Also anti-heal meta is really tough on her)
Susano has a short tp and 1 dash, but he is not safe in fights. Thanatos have none. Awilix has a jump,1, that also takes time to use cuz you have to ride the pet, Thor has 1 tp that can get interrupted by pretty much any cc, susano's wind stays there for twice as much, Arachne has no escape outside her ult, which is still a much longer cd than both susano's escapes, and she is meant to be in your face. Kali, Baka have 1 jump, thats it, and both are in your face gods. Like, seriously, I dont get your reasoining at all
That is correct but most of the assassins can heal and have a lil bit survivability in their kit. Some of them have global ult or at least they have CC immunity.
There's an additional level of difficulty to Morrigan which is learning to choose the correct transformation at the right moment, which I think is just as much as being able to mechanically execute such transformation
Honestly, I think awilix should get a revamp on her ult, I feel like it should do the same dmg overall, but I think it should be split into a two part damaging move. Half dmg with the beam, and the other half with the landing dmg. It's always annoying that the beads effect COMPLETELY cancels out awilix's ult. Most other ults that you beads you still do take some damage, example Ares, Da ji, Ao Kuang, Kumba, Fenrir, etc. The only one I can think of that is in the same boat as awilix is Ne Zha, but even they can ult whenever and their enemies don't have to be in the air.
I feel like a good video for players who are new or old to playing smite is multiple part videos that explains the different roles the gods are, what i mean is like the guardian role, when you look at Khepri compared to Cabrakan, Khepri being a more support guardian while Cabrakan being a burst guardian. or how Aphrodite is a good support based mage, while He-Bo is a high damage burst mage. Anybody else that would like to know this? I've been playing smite for over a year and still have trouble with how certain gods kind of are, even though i know it says the type of play style each god is when hovering over them.
Eh, sure, here's my top 5 (of those I actually have played enough to comment on - about 85 gods). I'm thinking about how hard they are to pick up as opposed to master. 5. Rama. Tough ulti to hit with any real effectiveness, and he takes a long time to get online. Massively helped by having a good support, though. 4. Fafnir, for the same reasons as in the video. 3. Tyr. There's a lot to keep track of in his kit. His main damage/cc chain is tough to land on more than one god, he absolutely requires blink to be a decent initiator, and his stance switch is awkward, especially to those who have played other stance switching characters. 2. Awilix. Her ult is utterly unforgiving to new players, and the nuances of featherstep can take some getting used to. The hitbox for the knockup on her 3 is kinda janky, as well. 1. Mercury. You are likely the biggest target on your team, you are extraordinarily squishy, your only 'safe' damage is a tiny AOE, you have to prep carefully on his ult to stop at the right spot, if you hit your 3 and any other enemy is nearby you're a sitting duck.
I think the #1 is Jormungandr. Anyone who can play with a god that has abilities with a 65% chance to not activate upon use and a 10% chance that you will have a highly visual debuff (constant bellow) ring around you until you die meaning you'll always be visible even in stealth is hard to play *inhales deeply* oh and also when the wind-ups for his abilities take years before they actually go through when there are almost more CC god abilities than Neith skins then yeh.. Okay my "fix this god" rant is slightly sated for now. Great video!
I’ve been playing smite for about 5 years now. I still struggle with isis and tyr I guess they just don’t match my ply style and I haven’t put in enough time to get used to them
I completely agree with the Morrigan, chronos and Fafnir, as for the other two I’d say Thanatos bc of the high risk low reward and knowing when to commit to dives and then I’d add Sol bc of her lack of stick, and to me the hardest ultimate to get value out of. But that’s just me as u said we all differ 💁🏼
Id say susano is hard because he has alot of ways he can use the abilities and different situations call for quick thinking, not necesarily because cancels. Also janus, 3 skillshots, alot of positioning required to help both yourself and your team, and treshold/passive shenanigans
MY top 5: 5: The Morrigan 4: The Morrigan 3: The Morrigan 2: The Morrigan 1: The Morrigan ( Honestly I don't find her hard, as I main her, but I have to admit I sometimes don't always choose the most effective transformation, and so that's why she is the hardest god. Plus you have to know how to play every God in the game to completely utilize her kit to the fullest extent. 9/10 times the ult is used aggressively, but it can be used for its utility too. Also, her ult gets rid of any dots and targeted abilities, like Nu Wa and Neith.)
Have her at Rank X and she still is hard to use. Her stun imho is great in stealth since you move so quickly but if they damage you and you chase you can really feel how slow you move. Also after transforming she has a bit of a delay.
No persephone? If you move foward and diagnal towards her walking flowers you can dodge them very consistently you also have to set up before every and you can't keep your focus on the enemys cause you have to remember where all her flowers are
Aphrodite. It can be hard to do damage with her, plus you get blamed for every death if you can't heal them fast enough. Enemies and Allies both seem to dodge your 1.
My top 5 would be 5. Hel, it may be because she’s can easily be countered in every way and requires a lot of high risk and high reward play style. 4. Artio, while easy to play and tank, it’s pretty difficult for her to capitalize on her abilities. Yeah she can take a lot of damage but it can be very difficult to fully utilize her and requires a bit more coordination than others. 3. Sol, has been taking direct hits and can easily be punished. She’s hard to utilize since she can easily be predictable. Her damage is high but she usually couldn’t get it out quick enough to save her from death. 2. Thanatos. He just couldn’t make a mistake. One mistake and he’s completely useless. A death to early, not going for a kill, being aware of the map can easily get Thanatos behind. 1. The Morrigan doesn’t really count but Terra does. Terra takes a little more than just running at an enemy and punching them. Sure, Chronos needs damage and telegraphing movements but Terra requires that more and can’t punish enemies who don’t engage. She needs a lot of set up to fully use her to her full potential. This is kinda based on an old player that just came back. I found Fafnir really easy to pick up but I can understand how he can be difficult. However, he’s not as difficult to pull off as some other high skill cap Gods like Hou Yi or even Sobek. Just my opinion.
I still dont understand why hel is number 5. She has beads for her 2 can poke with her one and punish with her 3, add a book of thoth for the mana and aegis for things like poseidon ults and then you win. Sol for number three is something i also dont understand since her getaway even though it takes time, when it does happen she can leave a line slowly killing them like agni plus shes invinceable, even though shes easy to predict her poke is still super hard to dodge like a scylla crush. Terra is hard but i wouldnt say harder than chronos since when under her monolith its impossible to engage since you can just crush it and dash away, also her stun makes even harder to chase or secure since its faster and more immediate than chronos's and one more thing is that chronos's 2 is very hard to get it at the right timing since it can mean life or death. I would just like to express my opinion and see other's view so please do not take this as a form of youre wrong im right.
Just to answer some questions, I didn’t particularly put this in any kind of order. In previous seasons, I’ve played all these Gods just fine but coming back after a long break, the meta makes them more difficult. Artio is new and I played quite of her lately but she seems to be the most difficult in terms of utility. She requires more coordination than just VGS which many players can not pull of due lack of a mic. On a professional standpoint, it’s easy to use Artio because everyone is pretty coordinated but it becomes more difficult to really pull off at lower levels of play (casual players). This goes for the other Gods on my list as well. I’ve found that the Gods I chose requires a bit more coordination while not very difficult mechanically. Most Casual players do not have as much coordination as ranked players and this goes for all of the game modes. Gods such as Fafnir may be difficult mechanically but it won’t punish you were to take him to more unconventional roles such as solo. Fafnir does a lot of damage compared to other guardians. I mean a lot more damage. As in enough to burst down a mage damage. Sol, on the other hand, is much more difficult to play if you’re teammates don’t know how to team fight and stick together which doesn’t happen at high levels of play. I’m just stating the Gods that punish people that are trying to climb the ladder in my opinion.
I always find the stance switching gods be like this : u have to get ,,wired'' and feel the flow and surroundings and act accordingly , if u dont enter that mode with them then u'll be probablly useless
My top 5 5: Sol, in assault and arena she is easy, in conquest however the teamfights in the jungle make it hard to position her ultimate properly to have the most impact. And I feel in general attack speed mages feel weaker in conquest than normal hunters. 4: He bo, how squishy he is with how close he needs to play to fights is hard for me since mages are squishy and die quickly. In general I have issues playing on him in general from my experience. 3: Guan Yu: Although he seems easy timing his heal and using his mobility has always been an issue with me. Also using the most of his passive effectively I know is an issue for many low elo players. 2: Ravana: I love playing him but I have never taken time to see what he does, since most of his kit feels the same. I build pretty much anything on him press R into an enemy team. Kill someone then die immediately after since I have no idea how to properly escape with him I just assume he is a suicide god. Heck I still don't know wither he is an assassin or warrior since he plays so in the middle between the two. 1: Persephone, just this god is hard as hell to play and manage, she plays so differently from the conventional burst mage that its actually more beneficial to build her half tank than full burst. I understand how to harass with her in lane but in general I always loose lane since my poke is inconsistent and very reliant on my plant placing. Also her escape is pretty bad.
Honestly I’ve never built bumbas because of the extra damage you take. Is it really good to be building that on Morrigan? She can already be punished easily by a good team.
Definitely an interesting list, but mine differs considerably. Even though i have been playing smite for 2k + hours, stance change gods are something i can never seem to pull off. Idk why, but i royally suck with every stance change god there is. Not considering Cu Chu because he isn't really a stance change and easier for me personally. 5.Nox , 4.Ullr , 3.Morrigan , 2.Hel, 1.Tyr.
I'm not sure about my top 5, but my top 1 hardest has got to be AMC. He has so incredibly little CC and has no mobility if his hives aren't around, not to mention his janky autos. And if you put him in duo he has a very difficult time existing with high pressure supports that the enemy may have, since his level 1 clear is so horrible that even if you have a super high clear support the enemy just needs a support and ADC that can clear somewhat above averagely to shove you under tower for the rest of the early game.
Basically any mage with an enormous aoe move. Any assassin with a stun that also damages. Anyone with an execute. I find that once I understand how to play them, any warrior is a monster truck. God's with endless CC abilities. If a good doesn't meet these criteria then it might be hard.
I know you probably thought of this and was surprised when it wasnt and honorable mention but i think Terra is insanely hard to master and has one of the steepest examples of low skill floor to high skill ceiling due to the way you can bodyblock with her structures and also abuse her passive through said bodyblocking. Shes real ez at first bc ez root and average difficulty stun tho
Aiden Blackburnyou can easily camo under monolith and they cant engage when under since you can dash into it and then dash out also her two walls that stun is easily better than most stuns considering it makes you go around which actually takes more time to go around.
>scylla >hard to play two giant circles, an easy as shit line ability that you don't even need to hit the target you want to hit to hit it, and an insane escape that gets you out of any danger with ludicrous ease. anyone that plays scylla and thinks hitting a massive circle that can bait sanctuary and slows anyone inside of it's radius is probably playing smite with their elbows, i got no other explanation.
thetimmon firstly, her ult can easily be juked and can require some predicting and landing through walls and dont forget she can still be killed while in that form that makes her hit box bigger. Secondly, hitting her root is harder since its just a straight line with a little bit of delay, also you could compare her stun to neith and easily say neiths is better. The last one is that with her escape is that you know where she will go and it takes a littler longer since you have to play it then activate it.
"her ult can easily be juked" literally git gud. it's a giant fucking circle, you shouldn't miss it. "hitting her root is harder since its just a straight line with a little bit of delay" >hit a minion >hit the god next to the minion or >hit the support >hit the ADC pretty simple mate, not hard to figure out. and it's not like you need to be frame perfect with it, it's literally simple as shit. ignoring that her two does about 1500 damage on average, slows, is a bigger circle than her ult, you shouldn't be missing that either. Zeus is harder to play, because while he also, has literally zero skill shots necessary, he at least has to pay attention to where the fuck he is.
Are you actually gonna complain about a god that specifically did NOT make the list and is mentioned because others would ask why she doesn't get mentioned otherwise? lmao can't please some people no matter what you do
thetimmon you are forggetting that it has to be level 5 and that all mages can do that amiunt of damage with the proper build. Saying that the scylla ult is easy to land shows that you havnt played enough against or with considering its delay is super long for a mage ability and its only a little bit bigger than a he bo knockup.
Fafnir is the only support I play (and I only play support when I have to fill). He is sooooo easy, I mean he gets super tanky and is nearly unkillable cause you have an immune ability and 2 leaps, you have 3 stuns.....THREE I REPEAT. your buff is insane, probably the best ability to melt objectives. Plus after all that you get damage over time and before the enemy knows what's happening their health is slowly reaching 0. Ohh did I mention his stun has also an aoe slow. Just cause you can't land your 1 doesn't mean your useless, but I don't see how anyone can't land that thing, it's so easy to hit
I'm an assassin main and personally I think da ji and awilix are both very powerful gods and I personally do great with both. However Jing Wei is hard imo and serqet I actually struggle with. Tyr is a bit difficult and I hate tooth and scylla. My 5 hardest.
"here's the top 5 hardest gods to play but first let me talk about all the other gods and why they aren't the hardest gods and why they could be the hardest gods but why they also couldn't be the hardest gods and literally anything else before I actually tell you who the top 5 hardest gods to play are"
Ullr used to be my favorite god :( whenever I played ADC (I didn't play adc much) I played either Ullr or Anhur. I got Anhur to X and Ullr to 6... I loved the fact that both had combos you had to master. When you did, they were really strong, and it brought a good sense of satisfaction. Then they broke Ullr. They made him dumb op and easy to play, and made him just... too strong. It stomped. It was fun AT FIRST but I quickly got tired of it and thought ya know they'd probably nerf him too, leading to him being "easier" but over-all worse. As Smite seems to do with all gods. That nerf came WAAYYY much later than I expect (the skin *cough*) but overall they ruined that god for me. I even got the Tier 5. Literally haven't played him since.
I thought Anhur was pretty easy. Just like Ullr, you don't need to combo people to do well. I play him sometimes and I forget that you can stun into pillar. But the wall stun is always good, he can knockback and jump away so he's very safe, his ult is on a low cooldown, does a lot of damage and gives long CC immunity. My hardest god is Janus. His win rates outside of Diamond+ are abysmal because it's so hard to hit any of his abilities. It also takes a lot of game knowledge to portal your team mates and ult at the right time. He's balanced around pro players' extremely high skill ceiling, which makes him almost impossible for casual players to make work compared to any other mage. I'd rather have a Morrigan on my team.
Tyr (build wise) Terra (kit wise) Osiris (kit wise) Morrigan (building wise) Janus (ult precision wise) And a bonus: Ao Kuang (Build wise) Edit: I'm more of a Tank player so I don't really play mages, only Warriors or Guardians
My top 5 hardest gods are, 5.) Susano, 4) Janus, he acquires alot of positioning, 3) Chronos, 2) Chernobog, I don't know but I mix up the 2 and 1 alot, And 1) Morrigan.
Chronos IMO is top 3 most people don’t know how to build him (power or attack speed) can’t hit abilities consistently and usually feed with him. He’s extremely squishy (w/o warlocks). Nobody ever uses his passive correctly most people only use the 4th quadrant for the steroid. A strong chronos is rare especially now without the hastened affect.
As a console player a lot of the harder characters are basic attack focused adcs like Anhur or Rama. Rama is probabaly the hardest character on console unless you've been playing him for a long time and have your controller sensitivity perfectly attuned on the Y axis, it's almost near impossible to hit.
Alex Mercier going to disagree on Rama there was a time when hastened fatalis was an item and you only ever saw Rama saying you have to aim is like saying most hunters are hard to play because they all have to aim besides like neith and Artemis who just stun and root constantly
@@FolkvarthrGrim well i am talking about currently, without fatalis. I agree artemis is super easy even on console. But Rama's ult is just so difficult unless like i said your sensitivity is perfrctly balanced so you don't miss.
Judging a character difficulty by only there ult isn’t a good way of judging difficulty I have played very little Rama and can hit is ultra just fine a majority of the time, the only aspect that makes Rama “difficult” is aiming which is a thing with a lot of gods Also he can get very high attack speed which kinda simplified things. I do think he is ole of the harder hunters but the hardest console character definitely not
He actually means hardest gods to master, which would have more to do with skill ceilings rather than skill floors, when I think "hardest gods to play I think how punishing is the kit and can a new player, (who doesn't understand why anyone would waste their gold on something as trivial as vision,) pick up this character with little frustration and without having to study the abilities for 3 hours
No particularly order but in my opinion the hardest are Nox Osiris Fafnir Terra Bellona I'm simply just bad with Bellona and I've seen so many people struggle with her which makes me think the skill ceiling is really high to really utilize her.
Harder gods for me are pretty simple, all warrios are difficult, really very very difficult! I always keep my distance form them and only use warrior when I have to do quest xD
My top 5 is 5 awilix 4 cerberus (hard to hit the stun and combos) 3 terra 2 cama (bat boi) 1 hades...is weird and weak with the wrong build but with the right he can be good. Ive seen people build tankyness on him wich is weird for a mage to do that imo.
@@c_f0rce Mage being a tank...hmmm. Yes it might be the meta but it's weird and not really intended because that's ehy we have tanks for, sure it works but it's still odd
I don't have a top 5 hardest god but I do have a top 2 most brain dead gods to play. 1. Izanami (just left click lol and then run away) 2. Anubis (wrap, miss all your abilities realise you have a reset button. Hit 4 win the engagement if you're ahead)
im gonna try to make a list based on casual gamemodes (mostly not conquest) and also just in general of playing without factoring stuff like early/late, items, levels, team comp, just their own stuff. i dont think this is exactly in order, just top 5 in general. awilix is really tough to play right now, and has been extremely difficult to play ever since artio got released (and her featherstep nerf that has gotten no rebalance) comparing her to ne zha on your list, ne zha just has a better kit that's more straightforward. awilix's damage is almost solely on her abilities, making her really bad since she falls off late, and worse than most other ability assassins, her animations and attacks are slow and she has to put herself in a dangerous position to get the most effectiveness out of 2 of her abilities, which most other characters dont have to do to any degree. all you have to do with ne zha is practice some line abilities. not really that hard in my book. i agree that morrigan is pretty hard to play, not only with hard impactful decision making with her ult (and the 37 bugs it still has from release) but because she is like loki, where she's supposed to be this 'surprise assassin' almost instakill kinda play that turns a fight, but her problem, like almost all stealth gods, is that her stealth has issues that may backfire if the enemy has ears. pele seems pretty difficult to make an impact with atm. managing fuel, having to perfectly execute a combo with her slow 2, and her ult seeming a bit finnicky and its maximum value depends on either a whole teamfight (not good for ability assassins!) or a minion wave. skadi is impossible to play now. i know she was frustrating to fight at first but hirez didnt have to kill her. similar situation to terra, but terra wasnt really that hard to play, she just didnt have any impact at all. skadi has both problems. slow abilities that lose value over time (which is a good thing for the game, but bad for her. its good unlike assassins) kaldr isnt a threat to anyone besides slow attacking mages and assassins. its hard to find a right moment to use to her ult when it makes little impact aside from tanking towers. anubis is probably the only mage ill ever say is truly difficult to play, but usually only applies to high levels. he's a damage powerhouse and has zoning tools, but he has long CDs for a majority of the game and as long as the other dps on the other team pay attention to when he makes himself a target dummy with his 1 or ult then they can blow him up really fast. not only that, but people seem to not know how to negate damage against anubis with their own escape abilities! this is the one instance where slow jumps that provide more untargetable time actually help more than hurt, so anubis has to account for when people use their escapes, more than other dps characters.
Why would you build Stone of binding on Ares? It doesn't work with his passive and his chains don't proc the item. And you're never really going to be hitting your ult in a fight because everyone buys beads
I mean, with the same argument from fafnir you could say that Thanatos is top 5 too right? Very strong while you hit your one, but if you miss it then you won’t do anything. Idk
Gotta say that I definitely think Susano should be on this. His full combo with AA cancels is WAY harder then Ullrs ever was. I've been consistently practicing him for months now and getting the timing in a conquest game while your opponent moves around is hard. You can do well on lower levels without it but correctly executing the Aa cancels easily triples your damage compared to no AA cancels. (at least with Hydras. Without it's still more than double)
@@tsduali7516 I do play him freely. Those 3 combos are for killing a single target. I like to practice some specific maneuvers for fun and to be able to use em quickly in a specific situation. Obviously a team fight has many other factors and I use my abilities differently or even skip some AA cancels depending on the situation. But I like to maximize and Susano leaves a lot of options for that.
My list of hardest gods: 5.Serqet, she is easy to play around, requires a lot of mind games, 4.Fafnir, miss your 1 ever = you suck at him, 3.Morrigan, same as serqet, but her's combo is much easier to stop early game 2.Ganesha, all defensive and offensive uses of his abbilities are overwhelming, you never know what's is the best thing to do with them 1.Rama, i just can't stand playing him List of the easiest: 5. Hercules, you are unkillable, with 2 effective hard ccs in his combo, and easy to understand kit, 4. Scylla, she is one of the best junglers i have ever played, cc on her 1 that can 1 hit kill, aoe slow that deals tons of dmg, a nearly instant tp, 3. Loki, for real he can 1 auto a god, his 1 is just purely broken :/ i played him only 1 time becouse my main jungler was banned and did a 17/3 with a random build on ranked gold lvl conquest 2. This is a bit off but also Morrigan, not becouse she is easy to play, but she is easy to get into, her usual 2+1+auto or 1+2+3xAuto combos are easy to perform and memorise, and for her ult you can always ask your teammates in chat to explain what to do with it 1. Artio, easy to understand kit, unkillable, I spend too much time playing her to not know that she is just broken
I don’t think Chronos is hard at all. I guess maybe in conquest but in terms of everywhere else he’s easy. Just build burst chronos and pop your 2 run up point blank to the squishy and get a guranteed 1 and kill him. Of course that’s just simplifying it, but his 3 is very large and it is a huge team fight tool, also make sure to level your 3 up before your 1, not sure if that’s common to do but it makes chronos so easy. His only problem is that he’s very bad from behind. Good while even and unstoppable while ahead.
Brain Gains well your clear would be shit, plus your 3 gets reduced cooldown every rank, so you get it more often leading to just overall better team fights, especially early game. I’m positive everyone levels the 3 first in conquest on chronos since it does 100 damage base and it’s his only full lane hitting ability, so why wouldn’t you level that up to instant clear? It’s also the easiest to hit, where the 1 takes a lot of skill sometimes to hit consistently. If you lose pressure with chronos with bad lane clear, you lose the game. Plus since it’s on low cooldown you burn through mana much more easily early game, plus you can just abuse the low cooldown with mages blessing, so you don’t need to level up super early since you’re getting that 25 extra damage anyway. Try out maxing the 3 first one game and you’ll see how much of a difference it makes on him. It’s more fun, easier, and just better. At least in my opinion.
No... you can cast the 1 three times in the time it'd take you to cast the 3. You are NOT going to clear faster. I used to think the same way as you, but if you know how to land your abilities, the 1 is far better to level for lane clear and poke. The whole reason you have the 2 early on is to regen the mana you lose from dropping the 1 and 3, so you shouldn't ever have mana issues.
Sylvanus outside of early conquest, is probably the worst god in the game. Any god that can heal, heals better then sylvanus. Super skill shots to CC. Poor damage. Slow movement with no get away. But hey, his basic attack is an aoe and his ultimate makes plays.
I always put Susanoo towards the top of these lists and people are like "ughh he's braindead, you just do ability damage without the aa cancels, even a noob could do it". Then i ask them, have you seen a noob play Susanoo? They get themselves killed 30% of the time by dashing or teleporting to the 3... into a tower. He's got a weird kit for new players that does too much too fast and requires waaaaaay more practice to get used to than other gods. Even his ability activation is awkward because of the odd key binding. Susanoo DOES have a higher skill floor than most gods, and has one of the highest skill cap, as do all teleport gods, because you can get amazing at repositioning. Not to mention the 4 types off ability+aa cancel comboes that can go up to 12 steps. For reference, not even the stance switchers need that many steps to perform a combo.
All gods have AA cancels, Susano have more? So what? AA cancel is not hard. Not to mention even without it, he still does stupid bs damage. The amount of Susano players that Ive seen who can't AA cancel at all and still end up top damage is really high. If a noob teleport to a tower with him, he is gonna teleport/Dash/whatever, with every character. How does that make him hard? If a player is bad, its the player's fault. Having a teleport doesnt make the god harder. Compare him with Thor, who also has 1. Thor hammer has a longer time to go max distance. And if you get CCd, rip your only escape. That actually makes Susano easier, since he is easy to position in fights. Dont matter what excuses you come up, Susano isnt hard.
Nice video duke, but there is something that's bothering me. You seem to have misunderstood the concept of skill floor (many people do). If a god/character is easy to play or rather be effective with this god it has a high skill floor cause you have a higher level of effectiveness. If a god is harder to start playing because of for example hard mechanics, this god has a low skill floor because you are less effective with the same amount of skill than the low skill floor god.
I disagree with some of the honorable mentions, since your evaluation consists too much of "aim" only. If you're getting used to (e.g.) Daji's ult's aim (regarding delay, radius etc), then you're completely good to go. Also gods like Thoth just need a player with decent aim. About Fafnir: The spot is deserved yet I don't think a good player isn't doing well because of his 1 only. Of course no god is, but there definitely is more to Fafnir, like proper ulting and disarming. I would've liked if you mentioned that aswell. I'm alright with your Ares spot, since he really is a hard god in Conquest (only). Chronos and Anhur really need practice and focus. Alright. Morrigan requires skill with every god, therefore she's hard herself. Understandable. Good explanations, good video.
I personally find kali VERY difficult to play. Without her ult, her only survivability is in her 2 and her passive. The former will likely only apply to a single enemy, and the latter requires tunneling the shit out of your mark. And if your allies need you to gank someone who isnt your mark, then you're shit outta luck. Oh, and God help you if you fall behind.(and yes, I know tunneling probably isnt a smite term, but I'm no Mr. 2k+ hour SMITE lingo dictionary)

It starts that late?
Stretching out the video :v
Thanks bro
Yes. That’s what people look on to. Rich information clip made by sluke is good but most of times, people just want to dig straight into the main contents
I haven't watched the video yet, but you're wrong.
You were right, how did you do that??
Nox. She's completely useless if you can't land her root and no consistent damage like other mages provide (making your team work harder) .
But she's aids when she lands it all the time :d
Right I was just about the comment about this def one of harder mages in the game to actually play at a higher lvl.
I'm a nox main and it sucks not landing that root a lot, I feel extra bad about it
nox is my cancer with anubis + scyla
For me she actually is one of the easier mages.. where as janus is way harder in my case.. then again because i mainly play hunters my aim is better than my depth perception 😂 so if i play mages like janus i’ll just be missing the orb attack at all times.. the portal is easy to hit.. also scylla isn’t that hard for me either i played a match with her yesterday and i died 2 times and carried the team with my raw damage... poly scylla is best scylla
Guessing morrigan is number one.
the thooooootie
YuhBoy DTOY to effectively use her you need to have a basic knowledge of every class and you have to be good with a decent amount of God’s to choose from
Jasmine Delaford not hard if you’ve played the game for a while.
@@IkarosNeko You'd sure as fuck think that but outside of the competitive level you'd definitely be surprised. I've played low level ranked with people with like 10 mastery stars on a god and still cant utilize their kit properly.
tank v tank battles are goofy lol, doing no damage to each other
I rarely happen to get 1v1s as a Guardian main. I would be fighting someone 1v1 and kicking their ass when they finally realize they can't take out a tank all alone so people start ganking the shit out of me. Then of course it turns into a 2v1 or 3v1 and sometimes I prevail but most times I get gang banged.
Kaledrone /\ as a jorm main I relate to this too much
Tank v Tank generally plays out as such;
-Use 'damage' abilities on each other, deal a solid 5 damage
-Whack each other for 15 seconds straight
-Rinse and repeat until one of the tanks realize they are doing less damage, which that tank then *just leaves* lmao
This does not apply to Ymir or Cthulhu
@@mamamiazakaria7481 true but those seem to be the only ones
That was 2 years ago? Damn where did the time go.
Edit: also id replace ne zha with rama due to the fact that i play on console. Rama ult on console is way harder and basics in general are harder. He doesnt have any abilities that are easy to confirm they are all stims for his autos so it makes him harder on console.
Play him on console and seen others on console who are really good at aiming..... get good
@@modernwarhero8447 i have him diamond :P i am good with him. I just think he is harder on console than ne zha.

@@modernwarhero8447 i disagree. I think ne zha is actually very easy. Thats why this is my opinion 😊

Edit: i could only list 5. Every god was or is broken in their own way. (Im a scylla main mastery X and its super hard to use your ult considering your hit box gets bigger and that the animation takes so long so 1 point to dukesloth)
:P
LMAO those might be the easiest gods in the 🎮
Don't forget Kumbha
the fork Man r/woosh
Woah there fella you forgot Chacc and Ymir
I really like your top videos Duke keep it up pal.
I remember the "Where is Serqet?" and "Where is Chronos?"
Nu Wa is still a god I find is hard to play as. Even though I main her, what I’ve found is that she is very late game and if you don’t have a great start it’s very hard for her to bounce back. Her ult does practically nothing at level 5 (and even in late game if you time your aegis or something to protect you it won’t do much), her clay soldiers even with the targeter are difficult to land especially if the enemy team has a lot of burst damage, and similarly to what you said about ares, when you see her use her fog you know she is going to do something. Which makes her metal shard the one ability that can do some damage, but even then it is sometimes hard to hit because of how thin it is.
Lian Fajardo the combo is simple here, use fog, then put soldiers inside, proceed to engage diagonally so aoe cant hit both you and soldiers, and when the soldiers attack and lower thier movement speed use metal shard to stun and by then if you built properly you can do it again in 2 or more seconds.
As a Nu Wa main, I also want to add on that hitting the clay soldiers without hitting the God with the line ability doesnt do much damage either. It offers the stun, but then she has no other damaging abilities to follow it. You have to hit straight on, which can sometimes be difficult for gods that can joke easy as well as gods that can dash/leap away.
Lol i never and i mean never had a bad game with nu wa easiest got imo lol
In no specific order, Morrigan, Ullr, Janus (at least to use well), Susano, anhur.
Is Chronos worth it
My honest top 5 hardest:
5. Agni: I put him here just because he has a high skill ceiling. In order to REALLY understand and play Agni to his full potential, it takes some practice. Learning all the interactions with his 1 and the different ways he can engage and not engage is so important to Agni and I see a lot of people do it wrong.
4. Sylvanus: I applaud anyone that can do more than blink ult and heal with this god. Those true Sylvanus players, out there grabbing and rooting people left and right, I don't know how they do it. The grab travels so slow, and the root is a pretty small radius to land. I don't know, I always found him really difficult personally.
3. Chronos for pretty much the same reasons as you said.
2. The Morrigan for pretty much the same reasons.
1. Terra: Holy crap playing this god is like solving a puzzle constantly. The ability combos and the ways you can use them and when to use which ability to do what and how to use her ult and when and it's all just a bit overwhelming. I mean, she has her full damage combo of just running through her monolith then making walls and running through those. She has the combo where you stun with the walls and then drop the monolith then run through the monolith to get a root after the stun wears off. She's got the monolith root into wall stun combo. There's very specific times where you have to ult with Terra and you can't just waste it because it's so goddamn powerful if used correctly but so bad if used wrong. The difference between a skilled Terra player and a bad Terra player is astronomical.
Honorable mention: Kuzenbo. He's another favorite of mine, but I see a lot of people playing him wrong. Using his 3 to push people the wrong way, or his ult to push people out of teammates abilties yadda yadda. I don't think it's the god itself though, and moreover people's game sense around Gold where I sit.
Hey duke. Will set be added to this list?
Can someone tell me why as an assassin or hunter you wouldn't run crit? Why I run just physical power on let's say Thanatos I hit like 260/170/450 but when I run crit I hit something like 770/450/1100. I don't get it
Zeus, Vulcan, Anubis, Awilix, and Fenrir. Zeus Vulcan and Anubis, bc they're immobile mages and your positioning needs to be impeccable just to survive in a high ranked game, as well as using your kit properly and knowing exactly what to build into every matchup.
Awilix bc if she's played alone against no jumpers and with no teammates with synergy, you have to position well in fights to even land your knockup, much less using your featherstep to immune the best abilities from your enemies.
Fenrir is different in that positioning and itemization aren't important like the others, but you have to know when to jump, when to cancel your 3, when to auto cancel, when your runes reset, etc. Takes a very large amount of comfort with his kit to use effectively in ranked.
Glad to know it’s not just me who finds the Morrigan difficult. I’ve played moba games before but I just started playing smite last month and I’ve tried out a variety of different roles but the Morrigan was the hardest for me to use. Her ulti slowed me down a bit.
I can mostly agree with this list :)
Lately I was playing Fafnir a lot and haven't felt him as outstandingly difficult until I started whiffing my hammer throws after a few games (I guess I got tired and kept playing instead of going to sleep) - without the hammer Fafnir can't do much - his jump hitbox is the weirdest hitbox in the game and his ult takes time and leaves him at risk due to the long animation.
Yet I would put Ganesha on the 5th position of the list as his ult+3 combo is quite hard to aim and apply and his 2 requires a well cooperating team to work at all.
The rest of the list looks quite like my list.
I can't aim Chronos' abilities because his staff covers all the aiming area and his stim requires you to tick-tock in your head all the game. He's difficult kinda the way pre-buff Ullr was.
Ares could share place with Sylv because Sylv's 3 is quite a skillshot that might be as crucial as Ares' 1.
I'm bad at aiming down Anhur's pillar+impales and the risk of whiffing a team setup with an impale or pillar makes him one of the hardest gods in game. Also, his pillar is yet another thing that allows Anhur to play himself (Chern is just waiting for that pillar to get in and wait out all the ults in the world).
And I can't argue against the logic behind placing Morri at the 1st place.
Video idea
Mythymoo vs duke sloth
MythyMoo wins.
Practice vs theory
6:10 start of the list
1: Morrigan: Not only play style but bugs.
2: Cu Chullain or however you spell it: A stance change gos with no manual swap and Rage instead of mana causes builds to change and differ.
3: Nox: No combo, no damage unless you ult.
4: Khepri: You're a guardian that also has a rez and as such most people will want you dead so charging and enemy and holding them to you is a possible death wish.
5: Loki: A good Loki knows how to ult in, get the kill and get out but learning builds, who to ult, when to ult, where to ult, how to get out, who's near and who's leaving, but his raw power is why he's lower.
Honorable mentions:
Ganesha: You gotta get close to do much, almost like Khepri but you have the silence to help you out
Osiris: Who are you?
Hera: It's like nobody can even see you, gg
Teemo: Very low HP hunter that is quite adorable but can preform well
Ligma Dedede honestly the morrigan is one of the easiest mages to play. She’s got a good stun, an invis, and her 2 increases the damage she does to the enemies that she hits. The only difficult thing is to learn how to use ult effectively like when to use it and who to switch to.
I really don't have a ton of difficulty picking up new God's nowadays, but if I had to say the ones I had the most trouble with originally (I have all the God's currently in game mastered, so I played/play a decent bit of all the gods);
1 Terra - I really wasn't feeling her after they nerfed her into the ground and then some, so I haven't picked her up lately, but she was difficult to get good stuns and ults and extra deployable break damage and not get bursted down in .2
Susano - I still can't reliably hit an AA cancel. That is all.
Achilles - this one can be summed up to build quality.
Herc - when I first went for his mastery, I could NOT hit that combo for the life of me. Lot easier now, but boy was he a struggle the first couple games.
Cabrakan - When I was going for his mastery, I didn't understand why people called him Fat Loki. Until I came to play him more. and build him right.
Ravana - Did not like him at all when he came out, my builds sucked, and couldn't get the playstyle right. Haven't really returned to him in a while, so might do that soon.
What no Nox come oooon? Even outside of landing her combo consistently. A high lvl Nox will figure out when to use her ult to get the most use out of it. Such as timing it fight before a huge enemy AOE ult or even just a team fight or securing a kill. Her 2 is also amazing for zoning and canceling a lot of abilities.
Trai Harder That’s why she isn’t hard. She has one of the best CC’s, a combo that hits for around 1300 damage if you built cool down, and she also has an insanely great escape/engage (if you bring a loki or athena). She’s also got an ult that dishes more damage and goes further than a Ra snipe. She’s not too hard,
Kobe Gamble dont forget her ult its also easier to hit than Ra's and does more than pure damage too. Also the cc in her 2 its INSTANT. Freaking goddamn instant silence is hard? Whats next? Zeus is hard? At least he doesnt have a dash to get untargeteable that also, for whatever reason, does 20 million damage.
Keep in mind, I don't play conquest and favor Arena so use this as your context:
5. Nike: No reliable engage, no reliable damage, mediocre scaling and a basic attack chain not suitable for auto attack focused builds. Not to mention her passive takes awhile to stack up so you're basically playing the first half of the game without a passive. Nike's basically the goddess of wave clear cause that's her only redeeming quality(love her though)
4 Cuchulain: His passive takes alot of micro management to use. You not only have to account for stacking rage but also the delay of the transformation and staying above 85 rage for 3 seconds. I can't tell you how many times I've died trying to land a 5 man knock up expecting to go big boi mode only to die before it goes off. I build tank, damage, hybrid, I just can't seem to use him effectively.
3 Loki: I feel like he's got alot of the same problems Ares does. Loki's main focus is to target players who aren't paying attention to him or prepared for the amount of damage he can do. A good team can play around Loki's shenanigans and nullify his role in a team comp. He's an assassin to reliant on his enemies mistakes to play consistently.
2 Kuzenbo: How to counter Kuzenbo: Stop auto attacking him. Your plan of action as Kuzenbo is to put yourself in front of the enemy hunter and pray to god that they're dumb enough to auto you while you have your 2, thorns and Nemean lion(All of which have received nerfs) Other than that, you can try to blink behind people and push them into your team but that's unreliable at best. Also, don't watch his Nene.
1 Thanatos: I just straight up can't play Thanatos. He's too feast or famine, I died if someone sneezes on me, I miss my ults too much it's just a bad time for everyone. Bottom line, don't let me play Thanatos(even though I want to so much)
Cu is not hard to manage. Hit the wave with two abilities and you rage.
Nike consistently has the highest or one of the highest win rates in ranked! You might not feel like you're doing much, but your auras do. She's one of the easiest gods to win with because you don't need skill, you basically need to exist, and since her ult makes her impossible to kill, existing isn't hard.
I'll have to try that next time I play him. Maybe after I learn him a bit more, it will become easier.
I suppose but just existing in a game isn't the extent of her gameplay. She's mostly powerful at higher levels of play rather than the lower ranks I play in.
In Conquest:
No particular order:
Cabraken (Not easy to win with him)
Rama (Really ambiguous for rookies what ability to level up first)
Kali (Hard to aim her 2 and to be against gods with a lot of CCs)
Susano (He has a short teleport and 1 dash but that doesn't mean he is safe in team fights)
Aphrodite (Her passive is not good enough, Also anti-heal meta is really tough on her)
Susano has a short tp and 1 dash, but he is not safe in fights. Thanatos have none. Awilix has a jump,1, that also takes time to use cuz you have to ride the pet, Thor has 1 tp that can get interrupted by pretty much any cc, susano's wind stays there for twice as much, Arachne has no escape outside her ult, which is still a much longer cd than both susano's escapes, and she is meant to be in your face. Kali, Baka have 1 jump, thats it, and both are in your face gods. Like, seriously, I dont get your reasoining at all
That is correct but most of the assassins can heal and have a lil bit survivability in their kit. Some of them have global ult or at least they have CC immunity.
There's an additional level of difficulty to Morrigan which is learning to choose the correct transformation at the right moment, which I think is just as much as being able to mechanically execute such transformation
Why did you change the thumbnails?
10:05
whats she running, maximum magical prots?
Honestly, I think awilix should get a revamp on her ult, I feel like it should do the same dmg overall, but I think it should be split into a two part damaging move. Half dmg with the beam, and the other half with the landing dmg. It's always annoying that the beads effect COMPLETELY cancels out awilix's ult. Most other ults that you beads you still do take some damage, example Ares, Da ji, Ao Kuang, Kumba, Fenrir, etc. The only one I can think of that is in the same boat as awilix is Ne Zha, but even they can ult whenever and their enemies don't have to be in the air.
I feel like a good video for players who are new or old to playing smite is multiple part videos that explains the different roles the gods are, what i mean is like the guardian role, when you look at Khepri compared to Cabrakan, Khepri being a more support guardian while Cabrakan being a burst guardian. or how Aphrodite is a good support based mage, while He-Bo is a high damage burst mage. Anybody else that would like to know this? I've been playing smite for over a year and still have trouble with how certain gods kind of are, even though i know it says the type of play style each god is when hovering over them.
Eh, sure, here's my top 5 (of those I actually have played enough to comment on - about 85 gods). I'm thinking about how hard they are to pick up as opposed to master.
5. Rama. Tough ulti to hit with any real effectiveness, and he takes a long time to get online. Massively helped by having a good support, though.
4. Fafnir, for the same reasons as in the video.
3. Tyr. There's a lot to keep track of in his kit. His main damage/cc chain is tough to land on more than one god, he absolutely requires blink to be a decent initiator, and his stance switch is awkward, especially to those who have played other stance switching characters.
2. Awilix. Her ult is utterly unforgiving to new players, and the nuances of featherstep can take some getting used to. The hitbox for the knockup on her 3 is kinda janky, as well.
1. Mercury. You are likely the biggest target on your team, you are extraordinarily squishy, your only 'safe' damage is a tiny AOE, you have to prep carefully on his ult to stop at the right spot, if you hit your 3 and any other enemy is nearby you're a sitting duck.
TheAbyssofFire as an awilix main, i about her 3 being janky lol
I think the #1 is Jormungandr. Anyone who can play with a god that has abilities with a 65% chance to not activate upon use and a 10% chance that you will have a highly visual debuff (constant bellow) ring around you until you die meaning you'll always be visible even in stealth is hard to play *inhales deeply* oh and also when the wind-ups for his abilities take years before they actually go through when there are almost more CC god abilities than Neith skins then yeh.. Okay my "fix this god" rant is slightly sated for now. Great video!
I’ve been playing smite for about 5 years now. I still struggle with isis and tyr I guess they just don’t match my ply style and I haven’t put in enough time to get used to them
Tbh you dont really need to use Morri's ult, her combo is enough in most cases.
Just started smite love your videos. Is this video still accurate?
I completely agree with the Morrigan, chronos and Fafnir, as for the other two I’d say Thanatos bc of the high risk low reward and knowing when to commit to dives and then I’d add Sol bc of her lack of stick, and to me the hardest ultimate to get value out of. But that’s just me as u said we all differ 💁🏼
Id say susano is hard because he has alot of ways he can use the abilities and different situations call for quick thinking, not necesarily because cancels. Also janus, 3 skillshots, alot of positioning required to help both yourself and your team, and treshold/passive shenanigans
Top 5 (Not including The Morrigan)
No judging please :(
5)Susano
4)Aphrodite
3)Hel
2)Kali
1)Chronos
i will change aphrodite for achilles, i'm so bad with him :(
MY top 5:
5: The Morrigan
4: The Morrigan
3: The Morrigan
2: The Morrigan
1: The Morrigan
( Honestly I don't find her hard, as I main her, but I have to admit I sometimes don't always choose the most effective transformation, and so that's why she is the hardest god. Plus you have to know how to play every God in the game to completely utilize her kit to the fullest extent. 9/10 times the ult is used aggressively, but it can be used for its utility too. Also, her ult gets rid of any dots and targeted abilities, like Nu Wa and Neith.)
Have her at Rank X and she still is hard to use. Her stun imho is great in stealth since you move so quickly but if they damage you and you chase you can really feel how slow you move. Also after transforming she has a bit of a delay.
Da Ji? Yeah, having a 10 second invulnerability sure is hard.
No persephone? If you move foward and diagnal towards her walking flowers you can dodge them very consistently you also have to set up before every and you can't keep your focus on the enemys cause you have to remember where all her flowers are
For me is Susano. I have Ares in legendary but I agree, in conquest he is a pain to use.
Top 5 list starts at 6:07
Aphrodite. It can be hard to do damage with her, plus you get blamed for every death if you can't heal them fast enough. Enemies and Allies both seem to dodge your 1.
No your dumb
My top 5 would be 5. Hel, it may be because she’s can easily be countered in every way and requires a lot of high risk and high reward play style. 4. Artio, while easy to play and tank, it’s pretty difficult for her to capitalize on her abilities. Yeah she can take a lot of damage but it can be very difficult to fully utilize her and requires a bit more coordination than others. 3. Sol, has been taking direct hits and can easily be punished. She’s hard to utilize since she can easily be predictable. Her damage is high but she usually couldn’t get it out quick enough to save her from death. 2. Thanatos. He just couldn’t make a mistake. One mistake and he’s completely useless. A death to early, not going for a kill, being aware of the map can easily get Thanatos behind. 1. The Morrigan doesn’t really count but Terra does. Terra takes a little more than just running at an enemy and punching them. Sure, Chronos needs damage and telegraphing movements but Terra requires that more and can’t punish enemies who don’t engage. She needs a lot of set up to fully use her to her full potential.
This is kinda based on an old player that just came back. I found Fafnir really easy to pick up but I can understand how he can be difficult. However, he’s not as difficult to pull off as some other high skill cap Gods like Hou Yi or even Sobek. Just my opinion.
I still dont understand why hel is number 5. She has beads for her 2 can poke with her one and punish with her 3, add a book of thoth for the mana and aegis for things like poseidon ults and then you win. Sol for number three is something i also dont understand since her getaway even though it takes time, when it does happen she can leave a line slowly killing them like agni plus shes invinceable, even though shes easy to predict her poke is still super hard to dodge like a scylla crush. Terra is hard but i wouldnt say harder than chronos since when under her monolith its impossible to engage since you can just crush it and dash away, also her stun makes even harder to chase or secure since its faster and more immediate than chronos's and one more thing is that chronos's 2 is very hard to get it at the right timing since it can mean life or death. I would just like to express my opinion and see other's view so please do not take this as a form of youre wrong im right.
Just to answer some questions, I didn’t particularly put this in any kind of order. In previous seasons, I’ve played all these Gods just fine but coming back after a long break, the meta makes them more difficult. Artio is new and I played quite of her lately but she seems to be the most difficult in terms of utility. She requires more coordination than just VGS which many players can not pull of due lack of a mic. On a professional standpoint, it’s easy to use Artio because everyone is pretty coordinated but it becomes more difficult to really pull off at lower levels of play (casual players). This goes for the other Gods on my list as well. I’ve found that the Gods I chose requires a bit more coordination while not very difficult mechanically. Most Casual players do not have as much coordination as ranked players and this goes for all of the game modes. Gods such as Fafnir may be difficult mechanically but it won’t punish you were to take him to more unconventional roles such as solo. Fafnir does a lot of damage compared to other guardians. I mean a lot more damage. As in enough to burst down a mage damage. Sol, on the other hand, is much more difficult to play if you’re teammates don’t know how to team fight and stick together which doesn’t happen at high levels of play. I’m just stating the Gods that punish people that are trying to climb the ladder in my opinion.
I always find the stance switching gods be like this : u have to get ,,wired'' and feel the flow and surroundings and act accordingly , if u dont enter that mode with them then u'll be probablly useless
u did not just say sobek was difficult
Hel is easy due to repulse being practically impossible to miss
My top 5
5: Sol, in assault and arena she is easy, in conquest however the teamfights in the jungle make it hard to position her ultimate properly to have the most impact. And I feel in general attack speed mages feel weaker in conquest than normal hunters.
4: He bo, how squishy he is with how close he needs to play to fights is hard for me since mages are squishy and die quickly. In general I have issues playing on him in general from my experience.
3: Guan Yu: Although he seems easy timing his heal and using his mobility has always been an issue with me. Also using the most of his passive effectively I know is an issue for many low elo players.
2: Ravana: I love playing him but I have never taken time to see what he does, since most of his kit feels the same. I build pretty much anything on him press R into an enemy team. Kill someone then die immediately after since I have no idea how to properly escape with him I just assume he is a suicide god. Heck I still don't know wither he is an assassin or warrior since he plays so in the middle between the two.
1: Persephone, just this god is hard as hell to play and manage, she plays so differently from the conventional burst mage that its actually more beneficial to build her half tank than full burst. I understand how to harass with her in lane but in general I always loose lane since my poke is inconsistent and very reliant on my plant placing. Also her escape is pretty bad.
Honestly I’ve never built bumbas because of the extra damage you take. Is it really good to be building that on Morrigan? She can already be punished easily by a good team.
There is no better feeling than being a fed Fafnir melting the other team to the shadow realm.
Definitely an interesting list, but mine differs considerably. Even though i have been playing smite for 2k + hours, stance change gods are something i can never seem to pull off. Idk why, but i royally suck with every stance change god there is. Not considering Cu Chu because he isn't really a stance change and easier for me personally.
5.Nox , 4.Ullr , 3.Morrigan , 2.Hel, 1.Tyr.
I'm not sure about my top 5, but my top 1 hardest has got to be AMC. He has so incredibly little CC and has no mobility if his hives aren't around, not to mention his janky autos. And if you put him in duo he has a very difficult time existing with high pressure supports that the enemy may have, since his level 1 clear is so horrible that even if you have a super high clear support the enemy just needs a support and ADC that can clear somewhat above averagely to shove you under tower for the rest of the early game.
AMC whole claim to fame during season 4 was his insane early clear. I truly dont know what you are talking about.
9:01 Hey look, its superteeds... just thought i'd point that out lol
Basically any mage with an enormous aoe move. Any assassin with a stun that also damages. Anyone with an execute. I find that once I understand how to play them, any warrior is a monster truck. God's with endless CC abilities. If a good doesn't meet these criteria then it might be hard.
I know you probably thought of this and was surprised when it wasnt and honorable mention but i think Terra is insanely hard to master and has one of the steepest examples of low skill floor to high skill ceiling due to the way you can bodyblock with her structures and also abuse her passive through said bodyblocking. Shes real ez at first bc ez root and average difficulty stun tho
Aiden Blackburnyou can easily camo under monolith and they cant engage when under since you can dash into it and then dash out also her two walls that stun is easily better than most stuns considering it makes you go around which actually takes more time to go around.
>scylla
>hard to play
two giant circles, an easy as shit line ability that you don't even need to hit the target you want to hit to hit it, and an insane escape that gets you out of any danger with ludicrous ease.
anyone that plays scylla and thinks hitting a massive circle that can bait sanctuary and slows anyone inside of it's radius is probably playing smite with their elbows, i got no other explanation.
thetimmon firstly, her ult can easily be juked and can require some predicting and landing through walls and dont forget she can still be killed while in that form that makes her hit box bigger. Secondly, hitting her root is harder since its just a straight line with a little bit of delay, also you could compare her stun to neith and easily say neiths is better. The last one is that with her escape is that you know where she will go and it takes a littler longer since you have to play it then activate it.
"her ult can easily be juked"
literally git gud. it's a giant fucking circle, you shouldn't miss it.
"hitting her root is harder since its just a straight line with a little bit of delay"
>hit a minion
>hit the god next to the minion
or
>hit the support
>hit the ADC
pretty simple mate, not hard to figure out. and it's not like you need to be frame perfect with it, it's literally simple as shit.
ignoring that her two does about 1500 damage on average, slows, is a bigger circle than her ult, you shouldn't be missing that either. Zeus is harder to play, because while he also, has literally zero skill shots necessary, he at least has to pay attention to where the fuck he is.
Are you actually gonna complain about a god that specifically did NOT make the list and is mentioned because others would ask why she doesn't get mentioned otherwise? lmao can't please some people no matter what you do
thetimmon you are forggetting that it has to be level 5 and that all mages can do that amiunt of damage with the proper build. Saying that the scylla ult is easy to land shows that you havnt played enough against or with considering its delay is super long for a mage ability and its only a little bit bigger than a he bo knockup.
Are u playin on ps4?
Fafnir is the only support I play (and I only play support when I have to fill). He is sooooo easy, I mean he gets super tanky and is nearly unkillable cause you have an immune ability and 2 leaps, you have 3 stuns.....THREE I REPEAT. your buff is insane, probably the best ability to melt objectives. Plus after all that you get damage over time and before the enemy knows what's happening their health is slowly reaching 0. Ohh did I mention his stun has also an aoe slow.
Just cause you can't land your 1 doesn't mean your useless, but I don't see how anyone can't land that thing, it's so easy to hit
I'm an assassin main and personally I think da ji and awilix are both very powerful gods and I personally do great with both. However Jing Wei is hard imo and serqet I actually struggle with. Tyr is a bit difficult and I hate tooth and scylla. My 5 hardest.
"here's the top 5 hardest gods to play but first let me talk about all the other gods and why they aren't the hardest gods and why they could be the hardest gods but why they also couldn't be the hardest gods and literally anything else before I actually tell you who the top 5 hardest gods to play are"
Ullr used to be my favorite god :( whenever I played ADC (I didn't play adc much) I played either Ullr or Anhur. I got Anhur to X and Ullr to 6... I loved the fact that both had combos you had to master. When you did, they were really strong, and it brought a good sense of satisfaction. Then they broke Ullr. They made him dumb op and easy to play, and made him just... too strong. It stomped. It was fun AT FIRST but I quickly got tired of it and thought ya know they'd probably nerf him too, leading to him being "easier" but over-all worse. As Smite seems to do with all gods. That nerf came WAAYYY much later than I expect (the skin *cough*) but overall they ruined that god for me. I even got the Tier 5. Literally haven't played him since.
AYYYY Anhur is number 2 lessgoo
I thought Anhur was pretty easy. Just like Ullr, you don't need to combo people to do well. I play him sometimes and I forget that you can stun into pillar. But the wall stun is always good, he can knockback and jump away so he's very safe, his ult is on a low cooldown, does a lot of damage and gives long CC immunity.
My hardest god is Janus. His win rates outside of Diamond+ are abysmal because it's so hard to hit any of his abilities. It also takes a lot of game knowledge to portal your team mates and ult at the right time. He's balanced around pro players' extremely high skill ceiling, which makes him almost impossible for casual players to make work compared to any other mage. I'd rather have a Morrigan on my team.
Tyr (build wise)
Terra (kit wise)
Osiris (kit wise)
Morrigan (building wise)
Janus (ult precision wise)
And a bonus: Ao Kuang (Build wise)
Edit: I'm more of a Tank player so I don't really play mages, only Warriors or Guardians
My top 5 hardest gods are, 5.) Susano, 4) Janus, he acquires alot of positioning, 3) Chronos, 2) Chernobog, I don't know but I mix up the 2 and 1 alot, And 1) Morrigan.
Chronos IMO is top 3 most people don’t know how to build him (power or attack speed) can’t hit abilities consistently and usually feed with him. He’s extremely squishy (w/o warlocks). Nobody ever uses his passive correctly most people only use the 4th quadrant for the steroid. A strong chronos is rare especially now without the hastened affect.
As a console player a lot of the harder characters are basic attack focused adcs like Anhur or Rama. Rama is probabaly the hardest character on console unless you've been playing him for a long time and have your controller sensitivity perfectly attuned on the Y axis, it's almost near impossible to hit.
Alex Mercier going to disagree on Rama there was a time when hastened fatalis was an item and you only ever saw Rama saying you have to aim is like saying most hunters are hard to play because they all have to aim besides like neith and Artemis who just stun and root constantly
@@FolkvarthrGrim well i am talking about currently, without fatalis. I agree artemis is super easy even on console. But Rama's ult is just so difficult unless like i said your sensitivity is perfrctly balanced so you don't miss.
Judging a character difficulty by only there ult isn’t a good way of judging difficulty I have played very little Rama and can hit is ultra just fine a majority of the time, the only aspect that makes Rama “difficult” is aiming which is a thing with a lot of gods
Also he can get very high attack speed which kinda simplified things. I do think he is ole of the harder hunters but the hardest console character definitely not
@@FolkvarthrGrim who else would be harder than rama then on console? Anhur maybe? Or camazotz becuase he's also all straight line abilities?
Anhur my favorite Hunter at #2 nice it feels so good feeling yourself get better and landing long distance impales
He actually means hardest gods to master, which would have more to do with skill ceilings rather than skill floors, when I think "hardest gods to play I think how punishing is the kit and can a new player, (who doesn't understand why anyone would waste their gold on something as trivial as vision,) pick up this character with little frustration and without having to study the abilities for 3 hours
10:50 that fenrir was FRAGGING
No particularly order but in my opinion the hardest are
Nox
Osiris
Fafnir
Terra
Bellona
I'm simply just bad with Bellona and I've seen so many people struggle with her which makes me think the skill ceiling is really high to really utilize her.
Harder gods for me are pretty simple, all warrios are difficult, really very very difficult!
I always keep my distance form them and only use warrior when I have to do quest xD
When you said hardest my mind was somewhere else like how hard yamir chabraken herc athena and odin seem pretty *hard*
The Morrigan is the Best ~clap, clap~ The Morrigan is number 1~ clap, clap~
I get that reference
9:10 as a diamond ares, i want to scream CHAINS GO THROUGH WALLS
I find the Morrigan's ult really easy to use cuz I read other gods' abilities while queueing for ranked
For me, can’t be bothered putting them in order, it would probably be camazotz, chronos, morrigan, tyr and nox
My top 5 is
5 awilix
4 cerberus (hard to hit the stun and combos)
3 terra
2 cama (bat boi)
1 hades...is weird and weak with the wrong build but with the right he can be good. Ive seen people build tankyness on him wich is weird for a mage to do that imo.
Tank mage is not weird. Its literally the meta.
@@c_f0rce Mage being a tank...hmmm.
Yes it might be the meta but it's weird and not really intended because that's ehy we have tanks for, sure it works but it's still odd
Chronos isn't hard just hold left mb
5. Fafnir
4. Tyr
3. Sylvanus
2. osiris
Bonus: Terra more like terror to you.
1. chronos
chronos is easy af
@@sanadayukimura60 ehhhh nop.
Fafnir i find osiris easy to use
FAFNIR is much harder than Tyr syl Osiris and chinos. FAFNIR is easily hardest god in the game
@@lestat305 chinos is honestly the easiest god in the game xD
I don't have a top 5 hardest god but I do have a top 2 most brain dead gods to play.
1. Izanami (just left click lol and then run away)
2. Anubis (wrap, miss all your abilities realise you have a reset button. Hit 4 win the engagement if you're ahead)
Wow, I’ve been around for a while. I remember when you first uploaded that vid.
Video starts at 6:19
im gonna try to make a list based on casual gamemodes (mostly not conquest) and also just in general of playing without factoring stuff like early/late, items, levels, team comp, just their own stuff. i dont think this is exactly in order, just top 5 in general.
awilix is really tough to play right now, and has been extremely difficult to play ever since artio got released (and her featherstep nerf that has gotten no rebalance) comparing her to ne zha on your list, ne zha just has a better kit that's more straightforward. awilix's damage is almost solely on her abilities, making her really bad since she falls off late, and worse than most other ability assassins, her animations and attacks are slow and she has to put herself in a dangerous position to get the most effectiveness out of 2 of her abilities, which most other characters dont have to do to any degree. all you have to do with ne zha is practice some line abilities. not really that hard in my book.
i agree that morrigan is pretty hard to play, not only with hard impactful decision making with her ult (and the 37 bugs it still has from release) but because she is like loki, where she's supposed to be this 'surprise assassin' almost instakill kinda play that turns a fight, but her problem, like almost all stealth gods, is that her stealth has issues that may backfire if the enemy has ears.
pele seems pretty difficult to make an impact with atm. managing fuel, having to perfectly execute a combo with her slow 2, and her ult seeming a bit finnicky and its maximum value depends on either a whole teamfight (not good for ability assassins!) or a minion wave.
skadi is impossible to play now. i know she was frustrating to fight at first but hirez didnt have to kill her. similar situation to terra, but terra wasnt really that hard to play, she just didnt have any impact at all. skadi has both problems. slow abilities that lose value over time (which is a good thing for the game, but bad for her. its good unlike assassins) kaldr isnt a threat to anyone besides slow attacking mages and assassins. its hard to find a right moment to use to her ult when it makes little impact aside from tanking towers.
anubis is probably the only mage ill ever say is truly difficult to play, but usually only applies to high levels. he's a damage powerhouse and has zoning tools, but he has long CDs for a majority of the game and as long as the other dps on the other team pay attention to when he makes himself a target dummy with his 1 or ult then they can blow him up really fast. not only that, but people seem to not know how to negate damage against anubis with their own escape abilities! this is the one instance where slow jumps that provide more untargetable time actually help more than hurt, so anubis has to account for when people use their escapes, more than other dps characters.
Why would you build Stone of binding on Ares? It doesn't work with his passive and his chains don't proc the item. And you're never really going to be hitting your ult in a fight because everyone buys beads
I mean, with the same argument from fafnir you could say that Thanatos is top 5 too right? Very strong while you hit your one, but if you miss it then you won’t do anything. Idk
Gotta say that I definitely think Susano should be on this. His full combo with AA cancels is WAY harder then Ullrs ever was. I've been consistently practicing him for months now and getting the timing in a conquest game while your opponent moves around is hard. You can do well on lower levels without it but correctly executing the Aa cancels easily triples your damage compared to no AA cancels. (at least with Hydras. Without it's still more than double)
Hitting 1 then left click isnt hard. Plus hitting giant cones and circles isnt hard. Nothing about susan is hard.
@@c_f0rce unfortunately that's not how AA cancels work? If you press 1 and left click you'll just continue the ability cycle?
+JD I'm pretty sure he meant right click but that doesn't make his case any stronger.
@@tsduali7516 I do play him freely. Those 3 combos are for killing a single target. I like to practice some specific maneuvers for fun and to be able to use em quickly in a specific situation. Obviously a team fight has many other factors and I use my abilities differently or even skip some AA cancels depending on the situation. But I like to maximize and Susano leaves a lot of options for that.
@@tsduali7516 well you are right but that is basicly what I said.
My list of hardest gods: 5.Serqet, she is easy to play around, requires a lot of mind games, 4.Fafnir, miss your 1 ever = you suck at him, 3.Morrigan, same as serqet, but her's combo is much easier to stop early game 2.Ganesha, all defensive and offensive uses of his abbilities are overwhelming, you never know what's is the best thing to do with them 1.Rama, i just can't stand playing him
List of the easiest: 5. Hercules, you are unkillable, with 2 effective hard ccs in his combo, and easy to understand kit, 4. Scylla, she is one of the best junglers i have ever played, cc on her 1 that can 1 hit kill, aoe slow that deals tons of dmg, a nearly instant tp, 3. Loki, for real he can 1 auto a god, his 1 is just purely broken :/ i played him only 1 time becouse my main jungler was banned and did a 17/3 with a random build on ranked gold lvl conquest 2. This is a bit off but also Morrigan, not becouse she is easy to play, but she is easy to get into, her usual 2+1+auto or 1+2+3xAuto combos are easy to perform and memorise, and for her ult you can always ask your teammates in chat to explain what to do with it 1. Artio, easy to understand kit, unkillable, I spend too much time playing her to not know that she is just broken
Ok let’s not act like Tyrs ult does much in terms of damage, that’s lying...and susanuo does sub par damage when not basic cancelling imo
I don’t think Chronos is hard at all. I guess maybe in conquest but in terms of everywhere else he’s easy. Just build burst chronos and pop your 2 run up point blank to the squishy and get a guranteed 1 and kill him. Of course that’s just simplifying it, but his 3 is very large and it is a huge team fight tool, also make sure to level your 3 up before your 1, not sure if that’s common to do but it makes chronos so easy. His only problem is that he’s very bad from behind. Good while even and unstoppable while ahead.
No. You level up the 1 first. The cooldown on it is super fast and it does so much more damage than the 3.
Brain Gains well your clear would be shit, plus your 3 gets reduced cooldown every rank, so you get it more often leading to just overall better team fights, especially early game. I’m positive everyone levels the 3 first in conquest on chronos since it does 100 damage base and it’s his only full lane hitting ability, so why wouldn’t you level that up to instant clear? It’s also the easiest to hit, where the 1 takes a lot of skill sometimes to hit consistently. If you lose pressure with chronos with bad lane clear, you lose the game. Plus since it’s on low cooldown you burn through mana much more easily early game, plus you can just abuse the low cooldown with mages blessing, so you don’t need to level up super early since you’re getting that 25 extra damage anyway. Try out maxing the 3 first one game and you’ll see how much of a difference it makes on him. It’s more fun, easier, and just better. At least in my opinion.
No... you can cast the 1 three times in the time it'd take you to cast the 3. You are NOT going to clear faster. I used to think the same way as you, but if you know how to land your abilities, the 1 is far better to level for lane clear and poke. The whole reason you have the 2 early on is to regen the mana you lose from dropping the 1 and 3, so you shouldn't ever have mana issues.
Sylvanus outside of early conquest, is probably the worst god in the game. Any god that can heal, heals better then sylvanus. Super skill shots to CC. Poor damage. Slow movement with no get away. But hey, his basic attack is an aoe and his ultimate makes plays.
When people say ares his chain is hard to land.
Me:HAHAHA PEASANTS
Is it sad that i can go 7-0 with kephri and i go negative as kali?
Loving the daily content
I can 100% agree with Fafnir AND Ares as I have both diamond, especially since Ares is really predictable.
I always put Susanoo towards the top of these lists and people are like "ughh he's braindead, you just do ability damage without the aa cancels, even a noob could do it".
Then i ask them, have you seen a noob play Susanoo?
They get themselves killed 30% of the time by dashing or teleporting to the 3... into a tower.
He's got a weird kit for new players that does too much too fast and requires waaaaaay more practice to get used to than other gods. Even his ability activation is awkward because of the odd key binding.
Susanoo DOES have a higher skill floor than most gods, and has one of the highest skill cap, as do all teleport gods, because you can get amazing at repositioning.
Not to mention the 4 types off ability+aa cancel comboes that can go up to 12 steps.
For reference, not even the stance switchers need that many steps to perform a combo.
All gods have AA cancels, Susano have more? So what? AA cancel is not hard. Not to mention even without it, he still does stupid bs damage. The amount of Susano players that Ive seen who can't AA cancel at all and still end up top damage is really high. If a noob teleport to a tower with him, he is gonna teleport/Dash/whatever, with every character. How does that make him hard? If a player is bad, its the player's fault. Having a teleport doesnt make the god harder. Compare him with Thor, who also has 1. Thor hammer has a longer time to go max distance. And if you get CCd, rip your only escape. That actually makes Susano easier, since he is easy to position in fights. Dont matter what excuses you come up, Susano isnt hard.
Nice video duke, but there is something that's bothering me.
You seem to have misunderstood the concept of skill floor (many people do).
If a god/character is easy to play or rather be effective with this god it has a high skill floor cause you have a higher level of effectiveness. If a god is harder to start playing because of for example hard mechanics, this god has a low skill floor because you are less effective with the same amount of skill than the low skill floor god.

I disagree with some of the honorable mentions, since your evaluation consists too much of "aim" only. If you're getting used to (e.g.) Daji's ult's aim (regarding delay, radius etc), then you're completely good to go. Also gods like Thoth just need a player with decent aim.
About Fafnir: The spot is deserved yet I don't think a good player isn't doing well because of his 1 only. Of course no god is, but there definitely is more to Fafnir, like proper ulting and disarming. I would've liked if you mentioned that aswell.
I'm alright with your Ares spot, since he really is a hard god in Conquest (only).
Chronos and Anhur really need practice and focus. Alright.
Morrigan requires skill with every god, therefore she's hard herself. Understandable.
Good explanations, good video.
I personally find kali VERY difficult to play. Without her ult, her only survivability is in her 2 and her passive. The former will likely only apply to a single enemy, and the latter requires tunneling the shit out of your mark. And if your allies need you to gank someone who isnt your mark, then you're shit outta luck. Oh, and God help you if you fall behind.(and yes, I know tunneling probably isnt a smite term, but I'm no Mr. 2k+ hour SMITE lingo dictionary)
