My hatred of this god is NOTHING compared to my hatred of playing against Neith, Specifically the Carnival Neith skin. Nothing makes me want to rage more than "AHAEEEE" every time I get close to the braindead POS god
I feel like when they made Neith, the conversation went like this: Hi-rez employee: "Hey do you think we should give this god a snipe like Rama? It seems like it could work with her kit, we just need to figure out a way to make it so that it's difficult enough to hit that it's not op. Like we did with Rama." Boss: "Ugh, I'm to lazy to deal with that shit. just give her a lock on that can hit anyone on the map at any time and has 500 base damage. Actually you know what let's also throw in a stun because who the fuck cares about skill?"
+Dan Cooper I agree with you on so many levels. I loath Neith with a passion. I don't care what people say, OH SHE'S SO BAD YOU CAN EASILY OUTPLAY HER...But her kit is literally the easiest thing I've ever seen. And for some fucked up reason, more people have her master 10 than Anubis and Loki combined.
Rank 10 Apollos RIP. (I only have 4000 Worshippers on Apollo.) You're right though, the default skin sucks. Here's something you can't disagree with though, it's super fun to fly around in the ult while in omnipotence.
I wish you did these more often. I love the way you put these; they're kinda like Raynday's When I play 'X god' videos, but the angry undertones make these for me.
I disagree with the dash, you hardly ever dash into allies to buff them, and it is a very slow dash, for me he has the worst escape of all hunters, not counting the ultimate. When your hp is sinking and every half second counts, you are always dead compared to other hunters that are just out of danger by the time ^^
The god I fucking hate is Odin. I played him once then vowed never to play him again because he is so broken but since he is so broken, of course everyone fucking plays him. His lunge and raven combo deals more dmg than Kuku's ult early game. His passive is ridiculous since he doesn't even have to GET kills to stack it, his slow is annoying and his ult, HIS FUCKING ULT. Half the gods in the game are basically dead against a semi-decent Odin. Some gods are alright because they have an escape but at least half of the gods are dead 95% of the time he ults. And don't even say "Get phantom". I always DO and it makes little difference. The cooldown is like 5 years(160 secs) and if they build cooldown then they can get their ult cooldown down to FOURTY SECONDS. tl;dr Odin is more cancerous than Loki to me.
odin was the first God I got diamond. way back in season 2 when at the time he was very underrated and rare to see. Now they made him broken af but to be able to defeat an odin always be alert where he is at and if he has his ult. from there it's easy to pick him off.
i started playing smite around 1 year ago. apollo was my first "main" god that got me into smite. the reason for me going apollo was that he is very based around basic attacks. prob more than any other hunter. iit made me better with aim and i was able to retreat effectivly with his ult and dash. i played him to full mastery but i never play him now...i rarely play hunters in general now tbh. even tho im lvl X with mastery for apollo, i always feel uncomfortable playing with him now and i often feel ashamed that i cant live up to the fact that i have fully mastered him. but he is a great god to get into smite as a total moba beginner for sure as i were when i started playing smite.
Can you make a video explaining coupons and what causes you to receive them? I have looked around and have seen next to nothing about the system online. I know you get certain coupons depending on which God you play but what determines when you receive them?
I got a coupon on Tyr. It's probably because I have like 1170 kills on him but the point is you need to play a God a lot and around your first win you might get it
I dont really like the look of his default skin but I LOVE playing him with his Vicious skin. The voice pack and effects on his abilities are pretty cool imo.
LOLOLOL XD I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE UR RANT VID ABOUT TYR XD. I main him and I laugh my ass off when people bitch about him cuz he is one of the very few balanced gods in the game (Lmao I would love to see dtg's reaction)
duke i have a suggestion for you. i know its an instinct to look up when you are attacking something far away, but some abilities, like basic attacks or apollo's 1, travel the same distance no matter where you look. looking up blocks your vision, so try to look down instead when using those things.
Emilitoo's apollo is the most frustrating thing to watch in SPL. Yes, split pushing is a strategy but still very annoying to have to watch and play against. That's all i see in apollo.
haha ha! *ptsd intensifies* Seriously though I think there would be too much wrong with a supporty hunter like apollo if his passive wasnt so effective he would be a lot less frustrating, it doubles his dang attack speed! If the increase was lower (like 50% increase) it would make his boxing less effective, his split push a little easier to prevent because you have a little longer to react, and it would make his dash slightly less versatile. I agree with you 100% on serenade though, why is it so instant??
10:15 -10:18 felt salty 😂😂, but I agree appolo has got a lot to his kit. Its just the players that are able to make the most of it rarely play him so he's just left underneath that ban radar
I disagree, the only way apollo rocks is if he stays backline and machineguns you down to the bone while in safety. But even then you can barely make use of his passive, because enemies zig zag so much it becomes hard to deliver all your passive ticks. He isnt nearly as much fun or great presence in battle as artemis for instance, but then again it depends on the map. I bet he rocks on conquest.
Apollo is popular among high level players as well. He's used in duel of any rank constantly. I personally don't think he's that good, but he is fun to play.
100% agree, not one thing you missed there. Fuck Apollo! Early S3 was so much fun when he was carbage tier... well he was fine, balanced etc but the other hunters were just stronger... and then instead of fixing the problem in nerfing the op-gods the stupid ass random buff came around... and back into the meta -.-
I really want to see that Why I hate Tyr video now. He's so fun with the sidestepping and outplays and whatnot I'm curious as to why you don't like him.
Tbh I play Apollo cause he is the most attractive character in the game imo. I also think that while yes his kit is bloated, and should be adjusted if he becames prevalent in the meta, I like having a character with multiple things in his kit. It would be nice to have a well rounded hunter but have all their benefits be smaller. I think the protections should be cut to 30 at least and his dash just not have the knockback. You hardly ever use the knockback anyways. Fuck that passive too. His ult is too important to nerf though.
His serenade only gives physical prots, and goes away as soon as he gets damaged once by anything... its barely noticable unless u are a physical god that only hits 1 time things..
Hey let's talk about izanami. She can full clear with her basic attacks only, has a clear which can slow pretty hard late game with a very long range, a 2 that basically gives you more attack speed than rama's 2 and more bonus damage than his 1, one of the best escape in the game, and an ult that silences and does a shit ton of damage? Sure her skill cap is high, but once people learn how to play her, she destroys everything in late game.
It's not really 1/3 of his basic attacks. It's only 1/3 if you hit EVERY single basic attack and only hits stack it and during the buff you don't have to hit anything for you to waste your shots.
Also how do you feel about the new tanks in jungle meta and hunters in mid. I feel like you have an interesting opinion on that and I'd love to see a possible video on that.
I hate Chronos because he is Chronos '-' I hate Scylla because she have a insane amount of damage in top of a great escape, And a Stun, And the Stun do more damage that a lot of other abilities of other Gods, I hate He-Bo because he have a LOT of damage, Low cooldown, Very easy to hit, And a Ultimate that can outplay almost anything, I hate Bacchus because of the Dmg on a Guardian that build as a Tank
Henrique Sousa You named 3 mages. Mages are SUPPOSED to do insane damage at the cost of being squishy. I don't understand hating gods because they do what they were designed to do.
This made me laugh! the apollo laugh spam at the beginning lmfao but i also hate Apollo just because I'm not good with him and I'll admit that I'm jealous of anyone who actually is good with Apollo cause he looks like he is fun when you're shitting on people
Apollo suffers similar problems to Zed of Lol.His kit gives him way too much safety yet also too much damage. Making someone with even a bit of brain power dangerous. The rewards really not playing smart,cause It lacks a weakness (Cowrd control is not a weakness) But more,just knowing one op combo that solves all your problems. It also does not help the Apollo is frosted tipped SOB who has a obnoxious voice and actually finger bangs you. Basically, he is by design, a douchebag.
Duke, if you really wanna trigger people just make a video saying Susano is balanced.
Gets them every time.
Inters3ct Gaming 10/10 - IGN
but susano is balanced and actually weak as fuck in duel... in my opinion they should balance the gods differently in the differe t gamemodes
Weak as fuck in duel? really?
Bslazekan5 he is ok but no gods can compete with s+ tier (Skadi, AMC, Kali, Chronos, Freya etc)
+Bslazekan5 compared to the op choices, yes. But in general he's good.
My hatred of this god is NOTHING compared to my hatred of playing against Neith, Specifically the Carnival Neith skin. Nothing makes me want to rage more than "AHAEEEE" every time I get close to the braindead POS god
Finally. A person that sympathises with me with Neith.
COPACABANA!
I feel like when they made Neith, the conversation went like this: Hi-rez employee: "Hey do you think we should give this god a snipe like Rama? It seems like it could work with her kit, we just need to figure out a way to make it so that it's difficult enough to hit that it's not op. Like we did with Rama."

JG124 rama came in way after neither dude
+Dan Cooper I agree with you on so many levels. I loath Neith with a passion. I don't care what people say, OH SHE'S SO BAD YOU CAN EASILY OUTPLAY HER...But her kit is literally the easiest thing I've ever seen. And for some fucked up reason, more people have her master 10 than Anubis and Loki combined.
I am a simple man. I see shirtless good looking British lad as playable god; becomes my main.
The kit is irrelevant...
And that ass
we have basically the same mindset
Karkhoter Hutchinson fegz lel
Rank 10 Apollos RIP. (I only have 4000 Worshippers on Apollo.) You're right though, the default skin sucks.
Here's something you can't disagree with though, it's super fun to fly around in the ult while in omnipotence.
default skin is literally better than the rest
I like diamond because the effect changes just look better :P
iDoge - Smite Content I just fly around and be a recon plane for my team lmfao
+iDoge - Smite Content I admit, I've done that multiple times :D
I like the curse voice skin
If you hate the Apollo from Season 3 than you don't know the Apollo from Season 1 with a instant wave clear and his ult with a knockup
Date Eiji aw hell yea
"Some fucklord we're gonna talk about in another video which is Tyr" oh boy can't wait, and I main Tyr xD
So you think Apollo has an annoying kit and voice pack but adore Ratatoskr? Sure. I'll buy that for a dollar.
I mean I feel the exact same way... Apollo's annoys me but I think Rat's is totes mcgoats adorbs.
But he's adowabul :c _aaaaand a cold-blooded psychopath_ but he's mainly adorable.
Neose Ultimate EH! Keep your eyes off my nuts!
What about Ne Zha lol... nails on a chalkboard basically.
*Snarky Apollo laugh "Hyahaha"
because of this Video i really want to play Apollo now, but then i realized that i dont have any skins for him ._.
season ticket gives Brit rocker apollo
i think his original skin is the best cuz the way he walks with secret agent is horrible and the t2 seems like a fucking florescent marker
same
standard apollo is still awesome
Patch 3.19
"Were making some slight adjustments to Apollos kit because of feedback from the community.
Also Camazotz is being delayed"
I wish you did these more often. I love the way you put these; they're kinda like Raynday's When I play 'X god' videos, but the angry undertones make these for me.
I disagree with the dash, you hardly ever dash into allies to buff them, and it is a very slow dash, for me he has the worst escape of all hunters, not counting the ultimate.
When your hp is sinking and every half second counts, you are always dead compared to other hunters that are just out of danger by the time ^^
Karl Maier honestly I think AMC has the worst escape of all Kappa's
You know, besides the fact that not all the hunters have an escape lmao
Cantrio X So ? Your choice to pick one of them ^^
Karl Maier You tried to say his escape is bad compared to the other hunters. Is that ALL hunters, or just the ones you like?
Cantrio X Ok maybe better than the escape of Izanami, ut otherwise yea, when it comes to escape as fast as you can ^^
Apollo speed buff makes sense with the lore, he bolsters peeps' spirits
08:25 apollo haves a 45 sec cap on his ultimate since always (some one smart on hirez figured out this wonderfull idea).
Yessssss anotha day anotha rant
"Jesus Christ, Nemesis would dream of that." LMAO I lost it at that.
"HAHA, You Rock MATE!" "HAHA, You Rock MATE!"
This reminds me of MythyMoo's Real SMITE God reveals videos
You should have been around when his 2 used to give magical protections as well.:D
This was probably one of my fav videos you've ever made this was just hilarious
The god I fucking hate is Odin. I played him once then vowed never to play him again because he is so broken but since he is so broken, of course everyone fucking plays him.
His lunge and raven combo deals more dmg than Kuku's ult early game. His passive is ridiculous since he doesn't even have to GET kills to stack it, his slow is annoying and his ult, HIS FUCKING ULT. Half the gods in the game are basically dead against a semi-decent Odin. Some gods are alright because they have an escape but at least half of the gods are dead 95% of the time he ults. And don't even say "Get phantom". I always DO and it makes little difference. The cooldown is like 5 years(160 secs) and if they build cooldown then they can get their ult cooldown down to FOURTY SECONDS.
tl;dr Odin is more cancerous than Loki to me.
Erikel Elf I r8 88/8 4 a gr8 b8 m8 I'm not ir8 because I don't h8
Erikel Elf but seriously idk why Odin exists
odin was the first God I got diamond. way back in season 2 when at the time he was very underrated and rare to see. Now they made him broken af but to be able to defeat an odin always be alert where he is at and if he has his ult. from there it's easy to pick him off.
odin is only good early-mid game late game he falls off super hard, still agree hes pretty cancer
odin needs rework or nerf. hate him so much
i started playing smite around 1 year ago. apollo was my first "main" god that got me into smite. the reason for me going apollo was that he is very based around basic attacks. prob more than any other hunter. iit made me better with aim and i was able to retreat effectivly with his ult and dash. i played him to full mastery but i never play him now...i rarely play hunters in general now tbh. even tho im lvl X with mastery for apollo, i always feel uncomfortable playing with him now and i often feel ashamed that i cant live up to the fact that i have fully mastered him. but he is a great god to get into smite as a total moba beginner for sure as i were when i started playing smite.
hi guys welcome to the apollo real god reveal :D
+aris peri haha nah, that's myth's field :D I'll only do this for 2 gods
not sure if it is default I but how do you toggle that square that appears when you attack someone?
Please do more of these the editing was hilarious
10:25 AAAAAHHHHhhhhhh..... LMFAO
Can you make a video explaining coupons and what causes you to receive them? I have looked around and have seen next to nothing about the system online. I know you get certain coupons depending on which God you play but what determines when you receive them?
I got a coupon on Tyr. It's probably because I have like 1170 kills on him but the point is you need to play a God a lot and around your first win you might get it
Hurrdurr Down voted without watching because I love Apollo.
Duke do you also hate sexy rexie because he is apollo's recolor?
Can't wait for the Tyr video :D
Duke tomorrow has patch notes for camazotz? You said it before. I mainly play on console and restarted on pc yesterday so idk.
(sorry for being off topic)
ps4 or xbox one?
Oh I was just wondering for pc as well, but I play on ps4.
oh man I play on PS4 as well add me my PSN is Mircea2002
Oh sweet copied it down, I'll add u soon I'm mininerd69
I dont really like the look of his default skin but I LOVE playing him with his Vicious skin. The voice pack and effects on his abilities are pretty cool imo.
I want more rant vids so funny to listen to and hear your opinions
LOLOLOL XD I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE UR RANT VID ABOUT TYR XD. I main him and I laugh my ass off when people bitch about him cuz he is one of the very few balanced gods in the game (Lmao I would love to see dtg's reaction)
Apollo ult + Terra ult = free flying, always fun to get your adc from wherever on the map you want with literally no cost
Basically apollo is a support a hunter and an assasin.Seems about right
what's the point for the passive people build attack speed anyway it should be like hit 10 basic attack the next 5 basic attacks do Buble bamage.
or do 20 pen damage
Apollo, the one man duo. Supports literally turns into second jungle xD
don't you dare talk crap about my beautiful Tyr
Nothing is better than an angry German Man.
You nailed every point I've ever had about him. He's got everything but the kitchen sink in his kit. I hate playing against him.
10:15 to !0:20 best part
Welcome to season 4 baby
duke i have a suggestion for you. i know its an instinct to look up when you are attacking something far away, but some abilities, like basic attacks or apollo's 1, travel the same distance no matter where you look. looking up blocks your vision, so try to look down instead when using those things.
Thanks for the new real god reveal duke
I feel ya. Except I apply the logic used here on all adcs.
Emilitoo's apollo is the most frustrating thing to watch in SPL. Yes, split pushing is a strategy but still very annoying to have to watch and play against.
That's all i see in apollo.
only reason for this rant is cuz he is an awilix main
+TigerStar M I don't even main her anymore
+DukeSloth you made me love awlix too :(
welp home boy shouldnt bash on justice itself
Apollo is one of my favorite ADCs to play, but I think I can fully agree with you.
Good video Duke, look forward to the next one. But why are you picking on Tyr :(
Because Tyr can survive for five minutes in a 1v5
Tyr regen build lol
Well you know, it's normal for guardian to have more durability than other character classes and
...what? Tyr isn't a guardian?
Oh also he is in the top 3 gods with the hardest hitting basic attacks
At level 20
Duke you are honestly so facinating to listen too, and holy shit youre funny. You are definitely and will continue to be my favorite smite channel
I think you're mad because of his superior hair game. He is a god for a reason. ;)
Wow. This Video Just Been Made After My Apollo RECORD. ( You Know What I mean ? )
0:47 who wouldn't want to hear that, that's te inky reason I go max attack speed on him
Seems like I am going to play some Apollo support in my late night conquests... he has the kit for it, so why not!
what happened to thanatos?
I feel the same about Bellona, every ability has two USEFUL abilities tied to it...
I'm dying! 😂😂 Funny thing is Apollo was my first God I played and there's always a spot for him in my heart. But yeah I can see that wtf Apollo lol.
haha ha! *ptsd intensifies*
Seriously though I think there would be too much wrong with a supporty hunter like apollo if his passive wasnt so effective he would be a lot less frustrating, it doubles his dang attack speed!

I bet he rocks on conquest.
Here comes the worst part about the voices.. every time you actually manage to kill him you gotta listen to "apollo?.. APOLLLOOOO!!!"
I'm amazed he actually used Apollo gameplay in a video about Apollo... -_-
Apollo is popular among high level players as well. He's used in duel of any rank constantly. I personally don't think he's that good, but he is fun to play.
The model of Apollo is an eyesore too, have you seen the modeling on the abs... ik this was an old model but please it needs a rework
We need more god rants ;)
duke=tilted
it's a rant video what were you expecting
Awilix is still worse
Malkut96 k
What?This is not Hun Batz gameplay.Clearly hacked...
+TheSmiteGuy I AM FINe guys! (pls send help)
You just made want to play him
That video made me love him being my main even more!Thanks!!!
Hey DukeSloth I timed his ult it lasts for 45 seconds in the air then forces you down
wtf cupid is the most disguisting hunter followed by neith
Considering apollo is the only Greek god without hardly a evil plot twist the Greek pantheon is fucked up
100% agree, not one thing you missed there. Fuck Apollo! Early S3 was so much fun when he was carbage tier... well he was fine, balanced etc but the other hunters were just stronger... and then instead of fixing the problem in nerfing the op-gods the stupid ass random buff came around... and back into the meta -.-
I genuinely never notice the laughter
I really want to see that Why I hate Tyr video now. He's so fun with the sidestepping and outplays and whatnot I'm curious as to why you don't like him.
i like his basic attack voicelines, it kinda goes well with his overall attitude
Tbh I play Apollo cause he is the most attractive character in the game imo. I also think that while yes his kit is bloated, and should be adjusted if he becames prevalent in the meta, I like having a character with multiple things in his kit. It would be nice to have a well rounded hunter but have all their benefits be smaller. I think the protections should be cut to 30 at least and his dash just not have the knockback. You hardly ever use the knockback anyways. Fuck that passive too. His ult is too important to nerf though.
Your too funny man XD I lost it at the "ILL DEFEND THE TITAN"
Hurr durr downvoted without watching because I love Apollo also harharhar hurhurhur hohoho.
Thank You @DukeSloth!! I fucking hate Apollo for all those reasons. Finally some one with the same rant as me. same reasons I also hate playing as him
RIP me as a Rank X Apollo
But I feel the same about Cupid:
AA-Sounds, Design, VP, Voice in general, Taunts and even the abillities...
same here
There's something of Izanami's sound effects that I hate.
Hurr durr downvoted without watching because I love Apollo also harharhar hurhurhur hohoho
What did Sexyrexsi ever do to you lol, plus going in on Tyr? Toby won't be happy :P
+Raven Reaper oh tappy knows
His serenade only gives physical prots, and goes away as soon as he gets damaged once by anything... its barely noticable unless u are a physical god that only hits 1 time things..
Hey let's talk about izanami. She can full clear with her basic attacks only, has a clear which can slow pretty hard late game with a very long range, a 2 that basically gives you more attack speed than rama's 2 and more bonus damage than his 1, one of the best escape in the game, and an ult that silences and does a shit ton of damage?
Sure her skill cap is high, but once people learn how to play her, she destroys everything in late game.
Got my first ace as Apollo, not surprised after watching this
Shots fired against rexsi!
Oh man Duke did you play near the tail end of Season 1? That stupid laugh was in my nightmares, man.
It's not really 1/3 of his basic attacks. It's only 1/3 if you hit EVERY single basic attack and only hits stack it and during the buff you don't have to hit anything for you to waste your shots.
DukeSloth?
More like DukeSalty.
Dukesloth why do you feel Chiron is so underwhelming he has a crap ton of utility...and is half horse for pete's sake
Also how do you feel about the new tanks in jungle meta and hunters in mid. I feel like you have an interesting opinion on that and I'd love to see a possible video on that.
what a beautiful and funny rant
This video was funny. I would like to see more videos like this
I hate Chronos because he is Chronos '-' I hate Scylla because she have a insane amount of damage in top of a great escape, And a Stun, And the Stun do more damage that a lot of other abilities of other Gods, I hate He-Bo because he have a LOT of damage, Low cooldown, Very easy to hit, And a Ultimate that can outplay almost anything, I hate Bacchus because of the Dmg on a Guardian that build as a Tank
Henrique Sousa Scylla has a root and cripple not a stun :3
You forgot the completely broken ultimate reset
Henrique Sousa You named 3 mages. Mages are SUPPOSED to do insane damage at the cost of being squishy. I don't understand hating gods because they do what they were designed to do.
I lost my shit at you putting in his laugh for all the abilities beginning talked about.
This made me laugh! the apollo laugh spam at the beginning lmfao but i also hate Apollo just because I'm not good with him and I'll admit that I'm jealous of anyone who actually is good with Apollo cause he looks like he is fun when you're shitting on people
Apollo suffers similar problems to Zed of Lol.His kit gives him way too much safety yet also too much damage. Making someone with even a bit of brain power dangerous.
