At least call him a playable character. Merlin is no god.

Neither is Guan yi, Achilles, Arachne, Bakasur, Chiron, Daji, Fafnir, J I N G W E I, Kumbhakarna, Kuzenbo, Scylla - anymore?

@@7tales357 What was the point of your comment? Did I call them gods? NO, I did not. The original commenter on thebother hand called Merlin a god which is incorrect. I am sick and tired with fools like you. Every time hirez releases a non god character, I have to reply to the same bs.

@@roberth4395 God is obviously being used as a simple classifying term. In DotA, a playable character is known as a hero. In LoL, a playable character is known as a champion. If someone tells you about a new champion reveal, you know that it is for league, in the same vein, if someone tells you about a new god reveal, you know that it is for smite. The distinction is a marketing tool. Playable characters in smite were still known as gods when the game first came out, despite there being arachne as part of the starting lineup. You are under no obligation to "reply to the same bs", in case you were somehow unaware.

@@Dieonceperday I play since 2012. To use your words. "God" is obviously an incorrect and unnecessary term that is used since the beginning of the game. As non diety characters were represented since alpha they chose an incorrect therm and they were avare of it. Just because they ignored this issue for 6+ years it will not make it any better. Once again I have to repeat myself. If your game makes lore important in the game, which Smite does, then do not call non god characters gods. You are wrong and you know it well.

Hirez logic = He can't be OP if I miss everything!

still better than me

Did you notice that clean decapitation at 1:28?😂

LMFAO

Why would they though? It all fits so nicely together

Lye it was awhile ago.

Lye old comment I know but this was almost 4-5 years ago when they still did that.

no, it wasn't

Slimer44 Producciones sarcasm lol

What about the orb that grows with range and blink? That's Li-Ming right there

Arcane, ice and fire are all mage specs in WoW too

Blizzard should never be an opener though, apply Chill first with Frostbolt and chain it with Blizzard / Cone of Cold for better DPS.

trying to find out if i would actually play the god before i get the skin tbh.

@@roflstompin he was free and I tried him in arena. Honestly even if you don't know how to play him his Arcane combo with magical power is pretty bonkers

Yep

I gotta know how to play him now.

I'm finna get that brih

he's only ascencion 2

Yeah, with Goku also xD

Payback for the whole Overwatch / Paladin thingy I guess

@@SuperToffer but... hirez copied everything from blizzard there too...

If you look at his ice abilities, the pictures for Frost Bolt and Blizzard are literally ripped from WoW. The same pictures they use for Jaina in HotS too.

Yeah also with the arcane combo he did the other way around to what the lore lady said

Yes I was so triggered when he constantly missed dragon breath

in a normal game your enemy would try to escape from you ... youll cast behind to finish the job@@jpsx4ever125 they missed the ability to show how the combo would be executed correct

@@thefench1 Even this isnt correct and he still missed it its a more positive way to look at it so thank you for your reply I'll go with that :)

Why criticize someone who is just playing the game. It's not like you can remind the combo easy when playing a character with 3 different stances that each do something different with the abilities. It just shows they are a normal person like all of you on here

no

Yes

Wait

Simply genius.

I mean, invoker is literally a world of warcraft mage, so there wasn't that much originality there either.

The real invoker has 20+ spells

@@Raydr62 ummmm u know that the whole game is based of world of warcraft? since map dota was made.

@@outcast367 No. That's wrong. Dota is a mod based of WARCRACT not WORLD of warcraft. Dota 2 became it's own game later. League of legends is a game based off the moba genre which stemmed from mod from a game. It's like how battle royal became popular as a genre, where the original idea came from a mod.

@@Raydr62 to me personaly they are the same games. i get them mixed up a lot of times. since u can find same looking characters in both games. and i was just talking about dota 2 where it came from, i don't care about league at all. but yeah u are right

@Cpt Dinosaur one of the other reasons I facepalmed my brain

I just read the first line as goodbye and then couldnt understand what you were on about. Took me like 4 times to realise it says "good guy"

They buff it in this patch

he will be i think a aggressive tank (like bachus) and if i remember right he will have a poison in his kit... i hope that his ult will be long/big range so player can feel that jorm is actually long

Monday, the 11th. Maybe Tuesday, I forget which day is patch day.

They delayed it to the 11th to fix bugs.

@@Archtew not now try again

@@mr.niceguy777 wait it isnt now? I thought it would be cuz they released the video of him

Dave Vira asking the real questions

In Spring, I believe. Currently, the Switch Beta has some UI bugs in the main menu, but gameplay is surprisingly smooth, even in handheld mode. You will notice a downgrade in textures and models, but frames are pretty consistent, even in team fights. I would also note that Jungle Practice is pretty buggy on Switch, but that is a minor complaint when you consider the work required to get a game like Smite to run well on the Switch.

Erik Gutierrez yea aside from the lag when players leave/join mid game I've barely had any gameplay issues honestly

Gonzalo Garcia How can you say something so bold, yet so controversial?

Ummmm. Not even close

If you manage to hit your attacks,Yeah. While i wait for merlin to be in the game,Ill be using my scylla for the time being ^^

How dare you insult Lord Shaggy like that, Merlin comes no where close to comparing to our Eternal Hero's power

SHAGGY PLS

It is not that overpowered, he uses a lot of mana and has long cd

The only nerf he needs is a cool cool down reduction on his 1 in ice form and hes in a good state. Even though he has cc and damage, he has very long cooldowns (especially stance switch) and drains mana insanely fast. The only short cool down he has is the ice form 1, which is ironically the only broken part of his kit.

@@Raydr62 like fafnir long cd when he came out

@@Raydr62 I think that's the point though. Pretty much every mage has their main damaging ability on a short CD without cdr. Merlins only even seems to get low CD once chronos pendent is online which is alot of CD where other Mages don't require it.

That would be so cool

Norse World Serpent is next. Followed I believe by a mystery God and Horus and Set from the Egyptian pantheon

They've literally outlined the entire year of gods. Are you dumb?

what about ishtar, ereshkigal, anu, dumuzid, tiamat or the bull of heaven In the future? And isn't gilgamesh a demigod though? Like a certain lancer, riders and a berserker.

@@PlyGameInMY0337 "isn't he a demi god though"... as I browse through all the characters in smite that aren't gods.

Never.

So yemir, medusa, fenrir, arachne,etc doesn't count

Think before u write anything idiot

​@@Shadowdrives All of these are mythical entities though. Arthur was a HUMAN King. Merlin was a HUMAN Mage. Cu Chuulain was a HUMAN Warrior. Etc Etc Etc... Can we get things that arn't Human???

@@bamiyamoto8187 Hey nice argument, I'll be sure to keep that one in mind; genius.

MCRaven and? you really gonna say you dont get in if your not a god? cause then you have to remove a majority of smites cast for being stories of pantheons and not gods anyway, or for being god halfbreeds

Those Maya/Aztec Gods are like... From Mexico or something... Voodoo might as well be in Caribbean or Louisiana...
