^That Geb is amazing.
Ok Ratatoskr is busted. I wasn't feelin him? at first, decided to go the healing acorn and go a thor/bastet ability based build. Hated it, abilities lacked damage.
Now I realize you have to go Opal Acorn (applies on hit effects) into boots into deathbringer and you're just dashing around 2 shotting people.
First game with the build (5v5 siege motd)
Of course before the game I got bitched at for autolocking the new god on new god day. Like someone else wasn't trying for it....
*I shouldn't have got Jotunn's. I forgot he gets 25% CDR from that acorn. Hydras Lament would probably be super good.
Also, it blows my mind that these 2 smurfs aren't banned yet. They're in a full party (the 2 that are with them are together, full 4 man party) and they're still playing games today in a full party.

To be fair, it's par for the course for a new god to be released overtuned. I think Hi-Rez just likes doing it this way as it gives them room to bring them down in balance without overnerfing.
Rat's kit just has so much going on. He's going to be a very hard god to balance, but I think he's actually released at a good spot to not fuck him up entirely. Opal is a mess though, lol.
I'm more curious to know how Ah Puch is doing now.
EDIT: I'm not sure how I feel about the new Zhong skin. It's a well done skin but the effects make it really awkward to play him. It's really hard to see when you've hit someone with a DOT sometimes. His 2 is also a little hard to see.

Ah Puch is still busted as ever.
Haven't checked the ZK skin effects (don't have the skin) but you remind of what I don't like about the covert ops bastet skin. Instead of her 2 coming out at a full cone all at once, with the skin it sprays from left to right or right to left and it seems like I miss it more often.

Played three games so far. Ratatoskrs on both teams in each game. Not one of them fell below a 1:1 K
ratio. Most of them did very well.
As Spiritreaver said, this is what Hi-Rez always does so I'm not surprised at all. It certainly doesn't hurt the sales — i.e., releasing an OP/borderline-OP god will cause people to spend gems/favor in order to play it ASAP. Usually the next patch will nerf them into reasonable territory.
Exception: Ah Puch just got nerfed (I think), but he's still ridiculously strong. He has the damage of Anubis/He Bo but can do it from far away at absolutely no risk to himself.

Ah Puch does kind of have to put himself at risk in order to set off his ultimate.
I say kind of, because even if Ah Puch dies after setting off his Ult, it's not like it stops his ult. I've died many times after setting off my ult only to have the rest of my team pick off the enemy team stuck in my ult.

I guess I haven't played in so long that I'm back in trench tier again.
Laned with a Bellona in Siege who could have ulted on two different occasions for kills, but instead saves the ult for a dead Neith statue (I was Dusa).
That's only the highlight. The plays were clowny throughout. Really had me shaking my head.

I'm sure some of you here are playing HotS. How are you guys liking it compared to Smite? I didn't like it in beta, but I wanna try to get into it. The game comes off as very simple. I never did play multiplayer though.
On topic, I had a troll He Bo in Assault last night. He would ult into the team, hitting no one, die, rinse, repeat. He bought troll items like traveler's, rod of acepslsepasi, witchblade... then when I called him out to the team he sold all his items and bought every starter item.
We SOMEHOW still won, barely. Scylla and I (Zhong) carried hard. At the end he said "gg guys". lol

I've played around 30 conquest games on Xbox and so far only 2 games where everybody called their role. One of those two games nobody got the starting positions even close.
Its ends up not mattering because the other team is winging it too but its just more enjoyable with a coordinated effort. I just try to be helpful and let people know about the Meta guides out there but its a long road ahead for Xbox.

It's fun, and different enough that I play it alongside Dota and Smite.
There's no big bundle like there is for Smite, but unlocking characters doesn't feel like a chore like it does in League (I wouldn't know what it's like for Smite since I bought the god pack and don't really pay attention to my favor).

HotS is fun, my biggest take away being that it's probably the "fastest" MOBA. The average game of HotS doesn't take much longer than 20 minutes, which I greatly appreciate.
I don't really have a lot to comment about in regards to it's mechanics, but if time is a factor, it's probably the best MOBA in that regard aside from Smite Arena.

I play in a team, and whilst there are a few too many ROFLSTOMP matches on Xbox, I have definitely encountered some pretty good teams that owned us
Longtime Smite players, please answer these question for me: Do PC players REALLY think it's a good idea to play double Squishy / ADC of the same classes in Joust?
Personally, I always prefer to have a Guardian/Defensive Warrior, a Mage, and either a Hunter or Assassin. Assassin only if the first 2 are good at defending the tower or pushing, hunter if you're going to go all in on aggressive pushing.
But on X1, almost EVERY team I get on refuses to play a guardian or a non-budget-assassin style Warrior. Even if I call Mage or hunter, they'll still pick another mage, or an assassin or 2nd hunter.
I try and remedy this by either Playing the Guardian (Athena, Syl), A defensive War (Generally Chac or Bel?) or once, a defensive/damage hybrid Zhong Qui (which was quite funny, DEMONS! cleared everyone out). But this doesn't always work, and I really have to wonder if this is a misunderstanding of game logic, or if players are just so greedy that they don't think well about team work.
I really get tired of being almost forced to play the guardian every time, if I want one. I'd love to play an awesome support Aphrodite every once in a while, too!
Also, how big is the actual stigma VS Assassin classes in Joust? I think most of them work great, if your allies are good at holding the line. Not as braindead as hunters, but they also let the WAR and Guard get EXP from Lane-killing, unlike the double mage/hunter teams that kill all the minions before a WAR or GUARD can land a blow...
OOO, I love the skin for Nox! She seems to get such little love. Unfortunately, I can see why; she feels like a crappier version of Janus, to me. No where near as much control, her ult has too much start-up to be viable for team use (why can't it be as great as Chang'e Ult? or have a stupid explosive radius like Medusa Spit?), And she generally just doesn't have the AOE to balance out the weaknesses, IMHO. But I'm just an X1 Player, how do PCs feel about her?
She really feels way, way to conservative in power, VS many other gods in the game.
And that looks great! I really love G.E.B 1, but I don't think he does nearly as much to help a team in Joust or Arena as a good Sylvannus. Which is a bit sad, as I REALLY Want to use by G.E.B.1 skin all the time, one of my favorites in the game. (Roll Out is so good in that form.)

It's generally a problem in most modes. People don't want to play support. I run a lot of arena and I often have to run a guardian or tanky mage so we have a chance at winning. it makes it hard to master non-tanky Gods.
In conquest the meta is shifting to 2 or 3 hunters because of how well they can steamroll most other classes. I'm not aware of the meta of 3v3 but it could be a similar thing.
I know that Aphro is very good in 1v1 joust so I would imagine that she is also good in 3v3. If you really want I'd just play her, Aphro can be decently tanky if you play her right even without tanky items (I've never tried tanky items on her).
Again this applies to 1v1 but assasians are generally hyper late game carries. Someone like Merc or Kali can wreck the opposition if they can get online. This usually requires 3 if not 4 full items before this can happen so it can take a while. if you can get some early kills though you can snowball hard and it will be difficult for the opposition to come back.
Most people seem to be looking to win and win quickly, hunters are generally better at that but a fed assassin can end a game very quickly.
She is not thought of highly. A good Nox player can do very well but they are few and far between. That skin is coming with a rekit for her so hopefully she will be in a better place after that.
In arena I disagree. Geb is really good. His knock-up into ult keeps the enemy stunned long enough for your team to kill them. This requires a watchful team but I don't find this a huge problem.
His Geb shield is arguably the best support skill in the game. Saves many a lives. Plus it has a CC cleanse on it so things like Chronos stun, Athena taunt, Fenrir ult etc can be made useless (Fenrir especially).
Personally I find to make Sylvanus work you have to be able to hit his two and three, if you miss those you're basically a sitting duck and mostly useless to the team.
O often wondered if Tanky Mages were looked down upon as well, so I'm happy to see you mention it. My first love in the game was a surprisingly tanky Nu Wa (especially since her HP increases make her CHILDREN stronger, too), before I really understood the item building game.
[
Ewww, lol. I always find over-stacked on one side of damage teams to be easier to counter. But then again, I like building SOME DEF on every character I play. I don't see the point of always being able to be 2-shotted by Loki, basically.
She can hit much harder than I initially expected, and she's such a pain to get rid of with ANY amount of decent team support. So that's a good point... if you can't beat them, join them at their own game, and outdo them, I suppose.
Aye, understood on their late-game usefulness. That's why I love playing Awilix or Seqet, as they both feel useful for other reasons, even before late. (I want to like Kali, but I suck at making her work early so far.) Gravity Surge and Last Breath have to be two of my favorite skills in the game, but playing with people who don't understand them is a royal pain. (He Bo + Awilix combo is a fav when it works.)
It's just odd, when I see these people that have PC-exclusive stuff that seem to have no concept of balanced team-building. I'd rather win 1 long time match than lose 3 in the same time span due to making it easy for the team to build Physical Def VS my Hunter / Assa / Warrior team.
I really hope it brings her more in-line with other gods. Her dark, broody personality is fun VS all the bubbly-giggly the game has otherwise.
I can agree to arena. Since there's so many people, you can normally find someone to run with, and be effective... but it joust, I never seem to be able to make a difference with him, compared to Syl. Double "poisons", one of which also heals, Root and Pull, early MP Tick, AOE Healing... it just all seems so much more useful. GEB's 1 is just.. so.. meh.. in Joust, lol.
I did NOT know his shield could stop Fenrir Ult, thanks for that bit of knowledge!
Wisp are just so good, though. I was REALLY sour on Syl when I first played him in Joust, but the amount of times he's turned the tide for my team, or the enemies, proved to me that he's a great, hard to kill aid. Even a sitting Duck is useful if it gives your team chances to aim, stun, and obliterate. Just not very glorious, haha.

Pics of what the new mastery skins will look like:
Not glorious but it gets the job done
You're probably right that Sylvanus is the better pick in Joust as Geb is seen as one of the worst Gods in that mode.

NOX
Nox has had a significant redesign this patch.

Siphon Darkness
Nox creates a void of darkness that silences all enemies within. After 2s it explodes, dealing 90/160/230/300/370 +100% of her Magical Power as damage. Cost: 70/75/80/85/90. Cooldown: 15s.
Shadow Step
Nox dashes forward, dealing 70/110/150/190/230 +40% of her Magical Power as damage to all enemies. If she hits an allied god, she leaps into their shadow, traveling with them.

Night Terror (Ult)
Nox unleashes a vortex of dark energy that explodes on contact with an enemy god or surface, dealing 200/250/300/350/400 +60% of her Magical Power as damage to all enemies within range 20, and an additional 20/25/30/35/40 +5% of her Magical Power every 1s for 5s.

ITEMS
Most of our itemization adjustments this patch are focused around Hunters, and the recent meta shift. We are primarily adjusting early game builds in this patch, and we will look to make more substantial adjustments to the late game as needed in subsequent patches.
Bluestone Pendant
“Bluestone Pendant’s effect reaches farther beyond the early game than we’d like for a starter item, and is seeing a reduction in its percentage based Passive. Its power is also being reduced.”
- Reduced Physical Power from 15 to 10.
- Reduced passive mana return from 3 to 1.5% of missing Mana.
Witchblade
“Witchblade’s purpose is to target enemy players who are built for in-hand damage, and is being scaled up to match the Attack Speeds these kinds of gods are able to achieve given Season 2 itemization.”
- Increased Attack Speed slow Aura from 15% to 20%.
- Increase Power reduction on enemies from 25 to 30.
Ichaival
“Ichaival is a bridge item that brings early strength by stealing power, but is over-statted for its cost. Bringing the Attack Speed value down better highlights its purpose.”
- Reduced Attack Speed from 30% to 20%.
The Executioner
“Executioner is getting a slight adjustment to bring down it’s Attack Speed contribution to an overall build.”
- Reduced Attack Speed from 25% to 20%.
- Cost increased from 2200 to 2250.
Heartseeker
“Heartseeker’s cost is being increased, to make picking it up a bit slower.”
- Increased cost from 1790 to 1890.
Shield of Regrowth
“More Physical Protections are being added to better highlight Shield of Regrowth as a hybrid item.”
- Physical Protection increased from 20 to 30.
Runic Shield
“Runic Shield is Witchblade’s mystical cousin, but costed slightly too much to be picked up in some situations.”
- Reduced cost from 2400 to 2300.
Ancile
“Ancile, as a stacking item, has some ramp up time and was difficult to pick up in time to get the Protections and Cooldown Reduction you wanted for a build at a comfortable timing. Reducing its cost means you can start stacking sooner.”
- Reduced cost from 2400 to 2250.
Celestial Legion Helm
“This item exists to fight crits. With some games having two or more players per team with crit and this item still not being purchased... ‘Probably needs a buff.”
- Reduced price from 2850 to 2350.
- Reduced passive proc frequency from every 15s to every 6s.
GODS - BALANCE/UPDATES/FIXES
Ah Muzen Cab
Bees!
- Basic Attacks from Ah Muzen Cab will now extend the duration of Bees! on the target by 1s.
- Targets that suffer from Bees! for 4s are Disarmed for 1s.
- Reduced duration from 3s to 2s.
- Fixed issue where Vulcan’s turrets would not take damage from Bees! if hit with Ah Muzen Cab’s Honey.
Ah Puch
“Ah Puch’s Ultimate will now end if he dies. This is a major change in how players fight him, and add additional vulnerability to the God of Decay.”
Undead Surge
- Updated targeter and FX radius to more closely match affected area.
Empty the Crypts
- Now disappears when Ah Puch dies.
Artemis
Transgressor’s Fate
- Fixed an issue where enemies could be affected by the trap’s pull after they had teleported away from it.

King of the Eastern Seas
- Fixed several cases where landing the ability would not properly knock up or Execute the target.
Chaac
Storm Call
- Fixed an issue where incorrect FX were used when casted near a deployed axe.
Chang’e
General
- Fixed issue where Jade Rabbit would get stuck on a wall in Joust map.
Hou Yi

Divebomb
- This ability has been reworked. When activated, Hou Yi will jump straight up into the air and pause, choosing a landing location.
Loki
Vanish

Wind Fire Wheels
- Fixed an issue where using the ability on Janus while going through a portal could cause both players to get stuck.

Ne Zha is one of my favourite characters and that change just seems bad.

25% hp is pretty cool I think. Better than his old passive by far.

This is the main reason they won't give any other gods a blind. Nox really should have some kind of blind mechanic more than any other god in the game, but Xba ruined it for everyone, lol.

But you have to basic attack gods and get crits to get it which Ne Zha should only really be doing near full build. Old one at least gave him some sustain early on.

Does enemy=god? I figured minions would count. If not, then yeah it's garbage. GL getting 20 stacks especially if it restarts after a death.
The way I read it is Ne Zha gets 1 stack per enemy hit (God or Minion), and an extra for a crit. They're usually pretty specific and would say God if it was Gods. I hope you're wrong and I'm right as it would be a solid passive if I was correct hah.

Keep in mind that as Ne Zha you generally activate your 2 before you go into a fight which means it will be on cooldown if you want a quick heal mid fight.
You have to hope that you can survive long enough for it to come off cd so that you can heal.
Not the greatest passive.

Excuse the framerate. Upload Studio screws it up for whatever reason.
