As a Shiva worshipper and Indian Hindu, this is one of, if not, the best portrayals of Shiva I have ever seen. His voice actor is perfect and his design is incredible.
Im an atheist from Brazil, but I love mythologies, and Hinduism is one of my favorites, and of course Shiva is the one I admire the most, althought not being a believer. And I was so eager to see Shiva in this game, and I was so happy to see how spot on the devs managed to depic the great Shiva, in both the most respectable way possible and also in the best representation possible. He looks absolutely incredible! As he should be.
@@utubefuku7132 As a devout Indian Hindu, I really respect your opinion and actually admire atheists like you who respect other people's belief even though they might not believe in them. You might be surprised that atheism is actually well documented and widely accepted in Hinduism as long as you are kind to other beings.

@@smilehaver No, nothing like that, although I have heard that of those from the Indian community did had an issue with that (I mean he is one of their primary gods so its understandable) But the reason for the ptsd he's mentioning it's because (Spoiler warning): He is one of the most difficult boss in the game you fight at around the late game (like around lvl 90+), he's capable of one shoting you, healing himself, debuffing your entire party and summoning high lvl enemies at his side just to add salt to injury.
@@smilehaver because he’s the hardest boss in the game and can obliterate you in mere moments if you’re not extremely careful. He summon allies, heal himself, and use his social move that does massive damage and reduce your defense to 0
I still genuinely think Shiva is one of if not the best designed character in all it Smite, in terms of thematic and visual appearance, and the sheer amount of extra thought and attention to detail put into his conceptualization.
100% just kinda mad that junglers are going to ruin the only good support god we've gotten in years right after they solo laners stole our newest guardian
They had to be very careful with Shiva. This is probably the biggest god Smite will ever have in its roster aside from Brahma and Vishnu. Maybe hopefully we’ll get The Buddha and Jesus Christ but until then this is as big as it gets.

He seems quite well balanced, but I feel like his 3rd eye should have been incorporated into the game somehow. Either as a passive, or ability, or even an ultimate. Still seems like a good character nonetheless
@@kooochie I think the third eye would be a good relic instead, acting like a combination of Ra’s and Janus’s ults. It’s be like a charging, hyper precise, instantaneous moving, map crossing beam of power that ignites the ground it passes over to deal a true damage blow to enemy gods current health, crippling them on direct contact. Like a bulked up but harder to use sunder. One branching upgrade could make a massive explosion on impact that stuns and blinds enemy gods directly hit (along with a deafening roar for anyone with headphones) and damages and trembles enemy gods in a 60 meter radius, while leaving a blazing wasteland in the blast zone that deals low but persistent damage in its wake until it expires. Think like a combustion bender from the _Avatar_ cartoons. The other upgrade makes the beam ignore walls and other obstructions utterly and it marks all enemy gods hit. Marked enemies are revealed for a duration (even when stealthed), you and allies move faster in the direction of marked enemies, and killing them while revealed recharges ability and relic cooldowns by a few seconds, while this upgrade itself already has a faster recharge and or an extra charge compared its more blatantly destructive counterpart.

He has a great design. I actually don't like the passive on him, the rest of the abilities are great. To me that passive seems like it would have been better on a stance-switcher where you have more control on the added effects rather than having a gauge that you have to manage and possible lose any advantage mid fight. Its not bad but it seems more geared toward upper levels of play.
@@Galahime His kit is already a little OP even without the added effects from the passive. He has an area Vortex, cone damage with Knock-up potential, and a Double Dash with Damage mitigations. I don't see him becoming a full stance-switcher(maybe do something like Achilles) but I could see him get a different passive and some of the added effects being just standard part of the ability. That passive just seems like something you should have more control over and not have to worry about managing all the time.
@@jettblade yea i know you're average player like me will just end up losing the CC/heal when I want it. But at the same time I think if they really wanted him to be a healer type they'd have made him more like Hel, so I think this is there way of nerfing his ally support. I do think he's cool though and the fact they made him more aggro makes sense he'd be a warrior but he leans pretty heavily towards guardian too me which is a lil scary especially with the current meta being so hybridized. Who knows maybe its easier to manage than we think
I'd be happy if they made more gods geared toward better players. There's over a hundred gods to choose from and a few high skill high reward gods don't hurt the game.
@@xKyanite An issue is if you have a god that only top-tier players can play like Yemoja, Persephone, or Freya. You get to the point where they are impossible to balance: either they are overpowered or utterly worthless with little in-between. I do agree that there needs some variance in skill level with gods but having ones that only work at the highest level is a bad design. Shiva overall is kind of a bridge, Most of his skills are easy to learn having a low skill floor but that passive gives him a high ceiling. He will be easy to play but hard to master, which is not a bad design.
The Third eye opening would have been a great addition to God Shiva. In mythology it turns enemies into ashes. Although for sure that would take the fun out of game. The game design looks wonderful!
That could've been an ult (Like thanas) wherein he stuns all enemies above a health threshold, or beheads them with his trident if under the same threshold

@@AyushSharma-jw3kr Not limited to Hinduism, stories of religions change as they are passed down generations.

If he had third eye ability in game then I think that it would be same type as thanatos's ultimate that executes enemies. Difference is that, instead of killing them, it turns them into ashes like how Medusa turns enemies into stone when she kills them with her ultimate.
Fun fact, in Hindu mythology, Ganesha is Shiva's son. Parvati is Ganesha's mother and Shiva's wife. One day, Parvati asked Ganesh to guard her while she was taking a bath. Shiva was out doing stuff and came back to parvati to see her but Ganesha was in the way and wouldn't let him through to see Parvati. In a fit of rage, Shiva cut Ganesha's head off. This made parvati very angry and upset so Shiva went out and obtained the head of an elephant and put it on Ganesh. That's why Ganesha has an Elephant head. I believe there are other interpretations too (This is what I've heard in TH-cam videos and websites about this Hindu lore, if I got any of this lore wrong than excuse my ignorance and feel free to correct me.)
There is no fun brohh. Let me add one more thing.. ganesh is son of shiva and parathi, but there is one more thing u don't know, he is not the biological son . shiva didn't even know ganesh was his son before he cut ganesh head. The reality is Ganesh was born by parathi devi herself , devi use chandana( sandle powder her body before bath and making a idol of boy with this powder it contains her sweat also then this idol become a human boy that is ganesh. Then she said to ganesh she is going for a bath never let anyone into Kailsah (Home), that time shiva and his bhooth gana came there , shiva try to get in his home but ganesh stop him and make a counter attack. I think u got my point, if any mistake in my language forgive me I'm not fluent in English... Har Har mahadev Hare Krishna , Hara Haro Hara Hara
Ravana is The Biggest Devotee of Shiva in the Mythology. Can't imagine it's not only our wish is fulfilled but his wish is also being fulfilled, because his God has arrived...
I imagine that Lord Shiva would be very angry at Ravana for abusing His gifts and neglecting His lessons. That could be why Rama was sent, to punish Ravana for his recklessness and defiance against Lord Shiva.

Wow I am amazed as how the pillar of light correlates closely to one of Lord Shiva's most famous stories as to how he emerged from an infinite pillar of light
I can just hear his SMT V theme playing in my head.... Whatever you do, do not kill his allies. Otherwise, he'll get lonely and when he gets lonely, he starts dancing and when he starts dancing, everybody perishes
I would like Muruga god of war Nandhi:- Shiva's vehicle and body gaurd Shani:- god of debuff and buffs he also has a cool staff( he is half demon like but not demon at all) Vishnu:- god of protection Lakshmi:- goddess of buffs (I forgot his name):- protector of the demons (originally a god) Indhira:- god of thunder and rain I would like gods like Shiva and Vishnu to have their custom avatars according to the religion Yama:- god of death Yami:- twin sister of Yama but i don't know her powers The four elements:- elemental powers Kathir:- the sun Chandra(male):- the moon Durga:- a normal version of kali Karuda( a humanoid eagle):- the seeker and protector Aathisheya:- a giant five headed snake associated with Vishnu Ragu and kethu:- also gods of debuff More versions of these gods They have avatars with unique lore and characters you can use those
Corrections it's Indra not Indhira,Rahu not Ragu and Sun is mostly called as Surya and Garuda not Karuda(also Garuda is the king of Garud Loka a planet with all Eagle like humanoids)
The picturisation and design of Lord shiva looks amazing. I am excited to play the character after my finals. Edit: i had a misconception of it being banned in india

@@noobplayer6264 @noob player moork. There is nothing in this world that can insult Lord Shiva. There is nothing that can make him better. He is Mahadev. The creator of all. He is perfection. So what exactly can make him imperfect? Not your thoughts, not your feelings, nor your ignorance. God is omnipresent, in all things, and he would do anything for his devotees. Everything and everyone is his creation. This is why he is Mahadev. Sara Sansar mahadev ko shrishti hai. Jetne time laga ye loko ko yeh game bhananakileiye, wo to uska shristi hai. Yeh he hai Yoga. Jub yes loko ko atman usko yes mhun or body diya, wo atman hai ye ParamBrahman. Aur Mahadev he hai Brahman. Aap aur research karlo, Kaun hai MahaDev. Wo he hai sabkuch aur wo he hai kuch nahe. You must clear your mind of the mental and emotional impurities you have learned from others. Who can insult this God and make fun of him? And just because others do that, what the hell does that have to do with you? You should learn to control your own actions. First physically, then mentally. Those who do something stupid in Shiva's name will have to answer to their own foolishness and karma. They will pay for it in their own time. Such people have no concept of respect, as a result they will not give others respect and in turn never recieve it either.. Also relax and learn to meditate. You react to everything, have you ever read any of our upanishads or puranas or Gita? Does who do good and love God sincerely are forever in God's heart. Those who act in accordance with ignorance, will reap what they sow, until the merciful lord forgives them. Do you know why he is named Bholenath? Lord Shiva is always blissful and in Anand. Do not confuse stupid politics with oeipmes peoples hard work.
@@noobplayer6264 also kid. This is a game. Lord Shiva in Sanatan Dharma is the oldest God. There are statues and bhakts of his from the beginning of creation, until now. Yes some dumbass's will do dumb things. But that has nothing to do with a real devotee, nor you

Now I understand that Drole of Seven Deadly Sins must've been based on Shiva, it may have been obvious to others but to me it became more obvious right now!!
You should add more Hindu gods like :- Kamadeva ( god of desire ) Parashuram ( The axe warrior ) Kalki ( last avatar of Vishnu ) Lakshmi ( Goddes of wealth ) Kuber ( Gold storer ) Kartike ( Warrior from gods ) Hanuman ( Fearless God or Worahipper of Rama ) Many more....................................
Why you interested in kama deva 🤣 not satisfied with your life ? I can't imagine what kind of mind set you peoples have ..have some clean choices and keep personal things secret don't have to spill things like mentally ill peoples
One of his names is "Pashupati" meaning, " Lord of the animals", Animals always recognize him for who he is and kneel. No animals will proceed to attack him. HE IS "CONSCIOUSNESS", he controls the minds of all that is created. He is TRUTH.
I was hoping that his "Ulti" would be the "Deva Loka", I know that many will understand why, and to a certain extent we had it at least in concept, with his "dance to the sound of the universe".

WOW i am really curious to what SMITE has planned next and i think that Shiva is gonna be really op,to be honest one of the coolest gods SMITE has created!
Full marks for pronouncing Shiva properly as opposed to the cringy "Sheeva" I've heard non-Indian people say. I can forgive the slight mispronunciation of Agni but that pronunciation of Tandava really broke my heart lol you were doing so well! You're just extended the wrong vowel. It's "Taandava" not "Tandaava".
Only God in Hinduism, that grants boon to any living beings. God, Demon, Mortal and any being, if you ask him with kind heart, you will be granted with boon.
Just as a reference, in the Scriptures and Hinduism , Shiva's Rudra Tandava can destroy the sun , moon and can combine the time and energy from different multiverses and 'Lokas" and can bring them to a singularity, black hole! (which is when the big bang happens again, and the worlds create and cycle of life restarts! ) He's kinda the most Powerful BEING ever know to a soul. ;)

I am a Hindu and Shiva worshiper in real life. I do not mind this game. Lord Shiva is beautiful and kind. So neutral that in Hindu epics he is known to give boons or wishes even to those who we can consider bad. Because all are his children. Also because he knows that the cycle of Karma doesn't spare any living souls even the gods who take birth as prophets.
Hirez will never fix the programming problems with this game, they are too invested in skins. Let's say they have X amount of money, they will invest 60% of that into the design team and then the other 40% gets spread out between the programming team, merch team, ad revenues, taxes, etc.

@@AyushSharma-jw3kr Not limited to Hinduism, stories of religions change as they are passed down generations. May be great people like Lord Ram and Lord Shiva must have lived during their time, but some parts of their stories must have additions and deduction over the years.
I suggest you learn more about Hinduism and not be limited to Grandma stories. You'll get to mature as an individual and appreciate this beautiful religion than this blind faith.
I don't even play Smite but DAMN!!
The cutscene was BEAUTIFUL, and the design and references have so much care put into them!
If he had third eye ability in game then I think that it would be same type as thanatos's ultimate that executes enemies. Difference is that, instead of killing them, it turns them into ashes like how Medusa turns enemies into stone when she kills them with her ultimate.
Fun fact, in Hindu mythology, Ganesha is Shiva's son. Parvati is Ganesha's mother and Shiva's wife. One day, Parvati asked Ganesh to guard her while she was taking a bath. Shiva was out doing stuff and came back to parvati to see her but Ganesha was in the way and wouldn't let him through to see Parvati. In a fit of rage, Shiva cut Ganesha's head off. This made parvati very angry and upset so Shiva went out and obtained the head of an elephant and put it on Ganesh. That's why Ganesha has an Elephant head. I believe there are other interpretations too
(This is what I've heard in TH-cam videos and websites about this Hindu lore, if I got any of this lore wrong than excuse my ignorance and feel free to correct me.)
Correct only bruv
Fun fact there is no Hindu mythology. It’s what happened and we people who wrote about him and Vishnu’s family
@@user-IL1EL Fun Fact: this is true and it happened
@@realman1345 oh neat. Yeah I've heard there are many different stories so I commented the one I hear from people the most
There is no fun brohh. Let me add one more thing.. ganesh is son of shiva and parathi, but there is one more thing u don't know, he is not the biological son . shiva didn't even know ganesh was his son before he cut ganesh head. The reality is Ganesh was born by parathi devi herself , devi use chandana( sandle powder her body before bath and making a idol of boy with this powder it contains her sweat also then this idol become a human boy that is ganesh. Then she said to ganesh she is going for a bath never let anyone into Kailsah (Home), that time shiva and his bhooth gana came there , shiva try to get in his home but ganesh stop him and make a counter attack. I think u got my point, if any mistake in my language forgive me I'm not fluent in English... Har Har mahadev Hare Krishna , Hara Haro Hara Hara
Seeing these new Gods make me wanna play Smite again! Especially Shiva and Gilgamesh, can't wait.
Ravana is The Biggest Devotee of Shiva in the Mythology. Can't imagine it's not only our wish is fulfilled but his wish is also being fulfilled, because his God has arrived...
TIL: Thanks for more information.
I imagine that Lord Shiva would be very angry at Ravana for abusing His gifts and neglecting His lessons.
That could be why Rama was sent, to punish Ravana for his recklessness and defiance against Lord Shiva.
@@jianfongyaw *Nandi* the bull is the biggest devotee of lord Shiva, not Ravana. Lord Rama and Parshurama was better devotees of Shiva than that demon King Ravana.
*@sagar sondarva* You are wrong, NANDI the bull is the biggest devotee of lord Shiva in Hindu scriptures, not Ravana. Lord Rama and Parshurama was better devotees of Shiva than that demon King Ravana.
@@jaydutta7711 i said 'biggest'. Like someone says, I'm your biggest fan... That's all. After all he is Brahman. Even though he was evil, but he was die hard devotee of Shiva...
Wow
I am amazed as how the pillar of light correlates closely to one of Lord Shiva's most famous stories as to how he emerged from an infinite pillar of light
Shiva looks amazing! He is one of my favorite deities.
I can just hear his SMT V theme playing in my head....
Whatever you do, do not kill his allies. Otherwise, he'll get lonely and when he gets lonely, he starts dancing and when he starts dancing, everybody perishes
I would like Muruga god of war
Nandhi:- Shiva's vehicle and body gaurd
Shani:- god of debuff and buffs he also has a cool staff( he is half demon like but not demon at all)
Vishnu:- god of protection
Lakshmi:- goddess of buffs
(I forgot his name):- protector of the demons (originally a god)
Indhira:- god of thunder and rain
I would like gods like Shiva and Vishnu to have their custom avatars according to the religion
Yama:- god of death
Yami:- twin sister of Yama but i don't know her powers
The four elements:- elemental powers
Kathir:- the sun
Chandra(male):- the moon
Durga:- a normal version of kali
Karuda( a humanoid eagle):- the seeker and protector
Aathisheya:- a giant five headed snake associated with Vishnu
Ragu and kethu:- also gods of debuff
More versions of these gods
They have avatars with unique lore and characters you can use those
Shukracharya, maybe
Shani or Lakshmi would be great to see
Corrections it's Indra not Indhira,Rahu not Ragu and Sun is mostly called as Surya and Garuda not Karuda(also Garuda is the king of Garud Loka a planet with all Eagle like humanoids)
I would also like Arjuna.
You forgot Hanuman
This Describes the real Depiction of Lord Shiva♥️
Being his Devotee Embraces and Makes me feel proud♥️🕉️
My GOD i love this game. I cannot wait.
Lol what game is already out 7 year old game just new character of game
The picturisation and design of Lord shiva looks amazing. I am excited to play the character after my finals.
Edit: i had a misconception of it being banned in india
you play marvel super war?
@@bsvivek007 currently nope
Did you use to play in the past?
I remember someone ign named Rohan Karir in the game
@@bsvivek007 you have got the wrong person i haven't played since September 2021 and my name in game was "bulbasorry"
Why is it banned though?
Shiva looks so perfect (chef's kiss emote)
Some bits of his kit are gonna require some work arounds, maybe a lil tough for me but I'll help my homeboiz playing Shiva with my support gods.
Shiva 's can't be explained by a book bez he is the first power in the whole universe..creator and destructor.
Can't wait! Hope more Hindu gods get added. Especially unique and unpopular ones like Kamadhenu, Varahi, etc and the various planet gods like Shani (Saturn) , etc
Shani would be a fantastic addition. We don’t have a God of Luck in Smite!!
Who asked
@@seejewlatersheetdeek8777 ur bf
Kamdev could be perfect for this game. He can have his playboy skin respectively. And imagine his intros with Aphrodite...
Wouldn’t Kamdev be redundant, since he is just an Indian version of the Cupid ?
As a devotee, you guys did excellent. Love this ♥️✌🏽🙏🏽
Bhai tum kiss tarah bhagwan shiv ke devotee ho ye jarasar bhgwan shiv ka apman hai kiiss tarah video game main bhagwan shiv ko ek playable character bana diya humare vedo main aur purano bhgwan shiv ka ek bahut bada sthan hai Parr abb isse video game main dekhna padega ki koi bhi bhgwan shiv ko control kar sakenga hindu bhaiyo aakhe kholo nind se utho kyun ki isliye aajkal koi bhi Banda hindu bhagwan ko gali deke aur majak bana ke chala jaata hai
@@noobplayer6264 @noob player moork. There is nothing in this world that can insult Lord Shiva. There is nothing that can make him better. He is Mahadev. The creator of all. He is perfection. So what exactly can make him imperfect? Not your thoughts, not your feelings, nor your ignorance. God is omnipresent, in all things, and he would do anything for his devotees. Everything and everyone is his creation. This is why he is Mahadev. Sara Sansar mahadev ko shrishti hai. Jetne time laga ye loko ko yeh game bhananakileiye, wo to uska shristi hai. Yeh he hai Yoga. Jub yes loko ko atman usko yes mhun or body diya, wo atman hai ye ParamBrahman. Aur Mahadev he hai Brahman. Aap aur research karlo, Kaun hai MahaDev. Wo he hai sabkuch aur wo he hai kuch nahe. You must clear your mind of the mental and emotional impurities you have learned from others. Who can insult this God and make fun of him? And just because others do that, what the hell does that have to do with you? You should learn to control your own actions. First physically, then mentally. Those who do something stupid in Shiva's name will have to answer to their own foolishness and karma. They will pay for it in their own time. Such people have no concept of respect, as a result they will not give others respect and in turn never recieve it either.. Also relax and learn to meditate. You react to everything, have you ever read any of our upanishads or puranas or Gita? Does who do good and love God sincerely are forever in God's heart. Those who act in accordance with ignorance, will reap what they sow, until the merciful lord forgives them. Do you know why he is named Bholenath? Lord Shiva is always blissful and in Anand. Do not confuse stupid politics with oeipmes peoples hard work.
@@noobplayer6264 also kid. This is a game. Lord Shiva in Sanatan Dharma is the oldest God. There are statues and bhakts of his from the beginning of creation, until now. Yes some dumbass's will do dumb things. But that has nothing to do with a real devotee, nor you
@@SirPrem8 those guys are too much religion they just want us to hate them please don't take smite in wrong way and I played the game in 2023 they didn't disrespect Hinduism
@@SirPrem8 exactly those guy bring politics in everything or religion 🤦♂ this game was almost cancelled because of some uncles
The meaning of Shiva is Shiva in every particle of everything from zero to infinity.
death is also shiva life is also shiva shiva means Universe
I don't play this game, but this video popped up in my recommended and I figured I'd watch it. Gotta say, I love how much care they seemed to have showed lord Shiva here.
Now with Shiva we have enough characters to play Record of Ragnarok, now we Need Raiden Tamemon
we have raijin which is basically raiden
@@AnkitSingh-wq2rk not the Raiden you're thinking of he's talking about the sumo wrestler
Raiden skin for Kuzenbo and you can play RoR
Now we just need Buddha, Vaiśravaṇa(Bishamonten), and Beelzebub to complete the God fighters
@@PeterSpongebobBloo Uff Buddha nop, Bishamonten maybe and with Beelzebub we have some demons
this is perhaps one of the best and most accurate portrayals of shiva I've seen outside India. Thank you devs for this masterpiece.
Now I understand that Drole of Seven Deadly Sins must've been based on Shiva, it may have been obvious to others but to me it became more obvious right now!!
Fr never saw it like that, but it def fits
In folk stories here in my country (India), he seems to be Normal looking typical ascetic guy (without 4 arms) , 4 arms are basically metaphorical.
Yup you are right. Drole is basically Shiva.
Well, now, after 7 years, I feel obligated to play again.
OMG the voiceover sounds like God of War and the background music is also similar. This gives such nostalgic vibes
Look it may be nostalgia talking but I really miss the tapestry like reveals. They're what got me in the game in the first place
Lol it's definitely nostalgia , the old once were nice but the new ones are just too good
Who asked?
How can a game can define the strength scale of shiva
You should add more Hindu gods like :-
Kamadeva ( god of desire )
Parashuram ( The axe warrior )
Kalki ( last avatar of Vishnu )
Lakshmi ( Goddes of wealth )
Kuber ( Gold storer )
Kartike ( Warrior from gods )
Hanuman ( Fearless God or Worahipper of Rama )
Many more....................................
Yes they should definitely try this
Why you interested in kama deva 🤣 not satisfied with your life ? I can't imagine what kind of mind set you peoples have ..have some clean choices and keep personal things secret don't have to spill things like mentally ill peoples
Well u can expect 2 in this the most being Karthikey the god of war and the mighty Hanuman since there's Ram
Next bigshot would be hanumaan...💪💪💪💪💪
I hope they can get this right, and with some updates for the older gods too.
Great visualization of GOD SHIVA
The legendary GOD --------- SHIVA --------- The God of all Gods.
I am happy to see Lord Shiva resemblance, specially the Tandava ultimate move ❤️
Bro lord Shiva can destroy the whole universe in just one blink
Ficou incrível. Simplesmente amei a atenção/dedicação que deram para o desenvolvimento do Shiva.
I don't play smite but i was desperately waiting for this video
I have both Siva and Ganesh in my name.. thanks to my parents for naming me SIVAGANESH ❤
“Forgive me… lord shiva”
But he pronounces it “Sheeva” so if that got it right that time why couldn’t they this time yk
@@thislovewontlastforever8277 Bro right??
Ravana started as a Warrior too and became an assassin. Let's see how this works out for his master ;) :D
Looks amazing! Can't wait to play Shiva!
Lord shiva had shown very underpowered here
One of his names is "Pashupati" meaning, " Lord of the animals", Animals always recognize him for who he is and kneel. No animals will proceed to attack him. HE IS "CONSCIOUSNESS", he controls the minds of all that is created. He is TRUTH.
Shiva, The Destroyer--he will dance on your grave.
And the dance reshapes that grave into an entirely new world, very different from what you expected.
Shiva the dancer ?
@@lionalrodrigus730 the death dancer
@@vedantsisode6043 so shiva killed my best friend ? What is he destroying ?
Who wants Lord hanumaan to be in smite. Like👇
I was hoping that his "Ulti" would be the "Deva Loka", I know that many will understand why, and to a certain extent we had it at least in concept, with his "dance to the sound of the universe".
The losers from record of ragnarok infiltrated here too. Stay away with your fodder characters.
His dance is the best thing in game. Watched it 20 times
i like how Clumzy was the pilot for the showcase
You miss Shiva most powerful power shivas third eye
Man I miss when they had the old drawings in the lore section rather than reusing the reveal trailers.
I think you should add one more ability related to his anger created from his thrid eye 👁️
Anubis ult
Probably the only extra note I coulda given is I wish there was some sorta 3rd eye ability. That's usually what you always gotta look out for.
Shiva bhagwan is not using his 3rd eye for this mere game. It shows he is also player like others not to finish everything but enjoys the game of life
Thanks for adding Shiva, we would like to see Yama, the Lord of the Dead next
HES SO IMMUNE!
Finally the god I love is in the game!!
This is absolutely sick 😍😍
The depiction is totally nuts
So Good and I loved it
I would definitely play this game
If only I had ps4 😅😓
You don't need a Ps4 to play this..?
@Useless really great I am downloading it right away then
Where to buy it tho ?😅
We just installed pc so I dont know how to download games on it
@@XeZeLgotdrip314 you can install an application called steam (it's where you buy and play all the games from) and download smite through there, it's completely free.
Wow these are BEAUTIFUL animations of Lord Shiva.
Happy maha Shivaratri
In Hinduism Kali is his wife and in order to destroy things he perfectly synergies with kali( the goddess of energy)
As a Hindu , it’s all cool and not disrespectful. Although shiv is indestructible and undamageable.
Yep 😌😌
So is many other gods in game
Let's just hope that he won't open his third eye...
Introducing Indian Mythology to gain more gamers - Nice Strategy
You guys did justice to Adiyogi ! Great !
WOW i am really curious to what SMITE has planned next and i think that Shiva is gonna be really op,to be honest one of the coolest gods SMITE has created!
I can't believe Hindus are not calling this blasphemous
If only they added Yeshua
Everybody gangsta until Shiva opens his Third Eye
You forgot to add one of his most powerful ability his third eye vision which can destroy anything .
Purely amazing ♥️ from lore to design to ablities to tje dance ♥️♥️♥️
Full marks for pronouncing Shiva properly as opposed to the cringy "Sheeva" I've heard non-Indian people say. I can forgive the slight mispronunciation of Agni but that pronunciation of Tandava really broke my heart lol you were doing so well! You're just extended the wrong vowel. It's "Taandava" not "Tandaava".
When is this god coming in SMITE for PC?
February 22nd.
Same as on console the live versions are all updated at the same time unless you're talking about the PTS
Tuesday
He is stays in 18 dimensions.
Only God in Hinduism, that grants boon to any living beings. God, Demon, Mortal and any being, if you ask him with kind heart, you will be granted with boon.
God Of Gods 🙏Om
Read The Ancient Book Shivpuran U Can Find ur Way Of Life
He The Creator Of All Universe ❤
All gods are cool...Shiva might be my favorite...but as Mexican I think they should add some Aztec gods...they would look awesome
Ummm... We have Mayan gods, that's pretty close to Aztec gods right
@@Feristle yeah I saw them and they are cool but Aztecs an mayas are different tribes...they are similar in some gods but there are still different
@@javiaguilera646 I thought they were the same just names and representation were different like romans and greek
@@AnkitSingh-wq2rk it's something like that but still different.... Even a fun fact is that other tribes in Mexico wanted to get rid of aztecs
@@AnkitSingh-wq2rk I think they should just merge the Greek and Roman Pantheon they're practically the same with different names
Just as a reference, in the Scriptures and Hinduism , Shiva's Rudra Tandava can destroy the sun , moon and can combine the time and energy from different multiverses and 'Lokas" and can bring them to a singularity, black hole! (which is when the big bang happens again, and the worlds create and cycle of life restarts! ) He's kinda the most Powerful BEING ever know to a soul.
;)
Shiva's role is to destroy the universe in order to re-create it.

This is not co incident. Someone knew
Switzerland scientist of CERN 2014 GOD partical study - now science come to this conclusion , the perpetual creation and destruction is like a cosmic dance of Lord SHIVA
I am a Hindu and Shiva worshiper in real life. I do not mind this game. Lord Shiva is beautiful and kind. So neutral that in Hindu epics he is known to give boons or wishes even to those who we can consider bad. Because all are his children. Also because he knows that the cycle of Karma doesn't spare any living souls even the gods who take birth as prophets.
To me, the 3 abilities and passive is kinda meh, but that ultimate is really cool. You already know there's gonna be a dj skin for him first thing

dj skin ???? he is a god ... you should not disrespect any culture and we Indians are very particular for our culture
@@GaganTyagi2000 well, as a Christian, I'm voting they add Jesus and give him a dj skin
Oh yeah baby gimme that 😍and please for gods fix the fking bugs
Hirez will never fix the programming problems with this game, they are too invested in skins.
Let's say they have X amount of money, they will invest 60% of that into the design team and then the other 40% gets spread out between the programming team, merch team, ad revenues, taxes, etc.
You just talking about physical damage 😅😅😅 if Shiva want he can destroy the whole world 😊😊😊 because he is the creator of this universe 🙏🙏🙏 he is the lord

amazing work!! smite devs are really amazing can't wait for shiva and for all the new stuff incoming
Would love to see *Lord Vishnu* next!!!
Just lil correction
Ultimate is pronounced as "Taandavaa" not Tandaavaa 😊
