Agreed. This I don't understand either. I'm mostly addressing the "sexing it up" part.
At this point, I'd just be more willing to assume stock models and throwing a skin on it rather than something overly sexed up because sex and stuff. 2" more of cloth around the chest and waist and there likely wouldn't even be talk about that at all
. Going this route lends towards slippery slope territory and potentially being overly judgemental. Same amount of fabric change makes things like V neck style shirts stop being V necks and so on, which I don't think most folks have issues with
.
but if it did, I wouldn't be entirely surprised
except when on bastet, but whatever
Underboobs is gods gift to mankind, don't take that away from me.
That said, I preferred her old design.

I started to type up a long post on my take on this. Then thought about the intellectual deconstruction of nudity that I was about to get in to in a thread about a MOBA and deleted it lol.
So TLDR: With cleavage being more commonly acceptable in public, seeing underboob becomes more sexually alluring/taboo since it's not nearly as acceptable in public. I agree that it's completely arbitrary.
Pretty much what GuitarAtomic said. Cleavage is pretty much everywhere, people are just used to it now. Underboob is not nearly as common.
Yeah, I don't like the visual change either, but Nu Wa is a lot more fun to play now. Won a siege game with her even though my teammates were idiots. Once you get some decent gear, you can stone warriors into stun, and blast anyone who attacks you. And if they run away, the ult finishes them off.
Yeah, way more fun now.
The damage the golem does when it explodes will probably get a little nerf. Played a domination game earlier where I could pretty much take 75% of Loki and Zeus HP with just the stun damage.
Sure, they didn't have any magical protection, but a stun that also does that much damage is a little crazy. Our Zeus left halfway through the game, but I managed to help us to victory anyway by clearing out those 2 every time they got close to a tower. If I managed to get the golems close to them, it was a guaranteed kill every time.
Ended up doing more damage than the rest of my team combined.

Her boobs are ridiculous, but other than that I love the new Nu Wa. When was the last time you saw an asian chick with that big of a rack? lol
The clay soldiers themselves lower their protections too. So yeah, you probably were getting true damage on your attack and that will hurt a lot more. It is an A + B situation making it seem stronger (up front) than the individual components. The overal impact is signifigant as well, especially when viewed with her passive in regard to the total time CC can be inflicted on single and multiple targets.
I'm gonna guess that the soliders are gonna get a tweak towards the protections lowered, but get their AA buffed slightly or a more favorable HP scaling while the DD on the #1&3 will get scaled back ever so slightly as well (possibly even a CD duration lengthend).
I'd argue she is celtic from the rest of her design though...

I ended up buying a crapload of treasure chests ... Got derpules, nuclear ymir and Convention Artemis. Those were the 3 I really wanted.
I'm now debating "finishing it off" as I only have 4 or 5 skins left. Kinda thinking at this point I might as well.
Treasure chest thing hooked me in pretty hard.

especially when in the enemy team is good one
I've yet to have a Loki on my side that didn't have at least ten deaths after 20 mins. They buy all attack items, and sometimes get kills, but always die in the process.

NOODLE DANCE
But which noodle has best dance? Au or the half noodle Nu Wa?
Athena is so much fun, fam. Did a bunch of games as her tonight so a friend could brush up on his Ullr. She's so in your face, so disruptive. It's great. Her voice pack is the cutest, too. :3
I've been feeling this way about Artemis all week. Dudes instalock that adc, then her, then get trashcanned 90 seconds into the match. Aight.
e: Art is a strong hero with gear, but she can just get snowballed on in the laning phase. And you know how pubs are with map awareness.

She moves around like a snake because her legs are an illusion. Her true form is only shown in her Ulti, where she slithers with her dragon/snake tail and leaps up to the sky.

Google'd it and the problem is quite common since last April and tickets are not being answered

Thanks for the games! Had a blast tonight. Starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of custom item builds and stuff too

yeah sorry I couldn't join, that Mumble overlay was annoying as there was 30 people in the channel so it was taking 1/4 of the screen

Played an arena as Ullr last night, what a fun hero. Stance swapping comes natural to me as I played a warrior in WoW pvp for a while, and his ability kit is really nice.
Found a nice guide that captures some of the experience (while I wasn't able to land the rain of arrows yet, the other tips all kind of came naturally): http://www.smitefire.com/smite/guide/talgors-diamond-level-ullr-arena-build-5-7-14-4403

Completely carried a noob team as Ao Kuang. The first nine kills on our side were all mine, but unfortunately the rest of the team bought zero defense items so they fought like paper. I let them know that the reason they kept dying was lack of defense, and they actually bought some defense near the end that helped us eek out a narrow victory.
Also the new Nu Wa sucks worse than the old one. Having her stun dependent on the soldiers makes it too hard to use, and her ult is way too weak by mid game.

Nu Wa's stun hurts a ton if she can set it up properly, although the match format probably matters a lot more in this specific instance. Since conquest's lanes are so damn narrow and the minion waves are fairly frequent, with the soldiers getting ADD and going after the enemy minions, it gives diminishing returns. If minions aren't part of the question, or you have a match type where they aren't always in your face, then they pretty much are a homing missile to the god that will get stunned by them /w the #3 and the combo hits pretty damn hard.
The ult is more or less a global initiator or execution move.
