1:25 I bet you got pissed huh

10:29 should be illegal!

10:29 *JESUS, THAT'S TERRIFYING!!!*

I see a lot of y’all saying Nike is the worst god. I’m a diamond Nike and I 100% agree she needs at least one of her abilities reworked but she’s definitely not the worst. Her passive is just so incredibly powerful your actually giving every member of your team including yourself a free item. All you do is play passive sit at your tower line and wait, waste you lane opponents time and eventually your team will have such a massive advantage that the enemy team can longer fight you. Sure she doesn’t do much damage but that’s not her role. She is a passive bot/ meat shield and you will win most of her games if you just remember that

The "goddess of demonetization" ok you got me there, have a like

I've commented this before but I'd like to see if Smite's characters can pass the silhouette test. Becuase before watching I have no clue who is in the thumbnail.

1:28 that wall though

9:43 is that Mythymoo playing conquest WOW Dukesloth really can do anything

I play Cabrakan support quite often. Double stuns can completely doom some adcs

that's almost exactly how i imagined a bastet buff should be. give her a second pounce basicaly similar to nemesis dush but does no damage where she can actualy do something about an escape or chase because right now once you go in if the players know what to do they will hit you with a hard cc and someone will be waiting at the spot you pounce back to to shut you down. her 2 is slow and i can't tell you how many times it got interupted by a stun or knock up basicaly forcing me to just pounce back or out instead of going for it again for survival reasons. speed it up x2 and give it some other functionality as well instead of just damage, she only has 1 slow in her kit with no other cc. her 3 is okay in my opinion, i would still want a bit more damage to it and probably a stun if you hit them with it and pounce on them or something like that but it's still okay as it is as long as she gets something else in her kit. as for her cats.. they are a complete joke. the last use they had was gone when the minion tower backdoor protection removal got taken out. the cats are only viable early and even then they are really easy to be taken out. late game they are simply done for in under half a second and the only use they have is to basicaly try to slow someone down for a few seconds or block a couple of autos and that's only if the enemy abilities are down so to not clear the cats instantly. i have no clue as to how they could get fixed, the ability simply can't work mid/late game.

My poor Isis and Bastet ;_; (Isis needs a visual rework atleast)

Can't talk about the worst gods in the game without some Arachne gameplay.

All gods are great when played by the right people to play them. I'm great at mages but I suck so much as guardian and warrior

That Ymir wall @1:25 gave me cancer

I personally think Nike is pretty bad. Or she is literally the only god I cant figure out how to play

I feel like they should buff Bastet's 2 in general and make her cats harder to kill as some gods can just completely nullify her ultimate with a one of their abilities

I like bastet kit and concept, but I agree that her ult is trash and need some adjustments.

“You know who it is” Me: No I don’t, who tf is it? Also Me: *Looks at game* oooooh

Oh i have an interesting rework for bastets leap. She gets 2 leaps similar to nemes's 2 dashes. The caveat is that only on of the leaps does damage in the same radius it has now. You can select if youd like the initial leap to do the damage if the enemy or camp is close enough by pressing 1 then left click the next 1 then left click will have a window in which you can use it again before going on cooldown but the subsequent leap will not do damage. The other option is you can click 1 twice then left click (so 1->1-> left click) to save the damage radius for your second leap. This would be optimal in the case of an enemy being farther away or baiting the enemy to use up their escape option to avoid the damage but you saved it for the chase. This rework would buff her mobility and her escape would be less telegraphed. Maybe the distance of the leaps could be limited by the devs t balance. Something that i decided to leave out of the initial idea because i feel it might be too out of balance is if her non damaging leap had a sort of cc like a stun or a root applied to it similar to kali's. It would be very hard to make this instacast which is one problem i have with my idea as well.

That Ymir wall tho no kill for you sir haha

Tbh...this really should say "in conquest"

Bruh Anubis is so op , his damage is insane

i remember when Nike first came out people praised her basic attacks and complained about how OP her kit is "sun's 1 X3 bellona's ult for an escape 2 relics for an ult" and now everyone thinks it's weak

Finally you release that game w/ mythymoo. I knew it's for a vid when you said you had to play bastet.

8:39 "I'm trying to order some food" . Lmao, poor guy. I know he stayed there cause the EXP, but you just gave gold and EXP to someone else

A bit back when I played I dropped 25ish kills every single game conquest or arena with arachne kek

hopefully we can see more collabs with mythymoo and emilzy. it could be fun

@DukeSloth do you think that the change to Bastet's leap would work? What I have in mind is having her normal first leap as it works now, but also having the ability to jump the second time with 50% reduced damage. So in other words you'd give her more chase potential, slightly more damage, and more unpredictability.

I remember when Hades was the "top performing god".

Funnily enough I see the God's mentioned early on doing great in arena

Bastet is a hit and run assassin and that what she excels at so to bring her back into the meta change her 1 so it's like xing tians "leap" but to balance it make it so she can only jump back in the opposite direction but it doesn't have to be the same spot. The hit box would be a the location where she will jump and there would be a ah puch ult like hit box behind you where you can jump back to safety. As for her ult take elements from skadi's dog so they tackle bit/grab pulling them back to bastet the enemy god for 1-2 secs. The damage would only be the grab at a much lower scaling but the enemy god would take increased damage from bastet. Do that and she'll be a (at the very least) A+ god who can dive in set up a kill and dive out hit and run assassin.

Hey Dukesloth, what are your thoughts on Arachne support with her new buff?

Bastet just needs a rework. Simply assassins with no hard cc are never good, the only one that ever was good was Nemesis but that was because her ult has utility and she had strong burst, way stronger than bastets, and didnt even have to use her mobility for it, let alone her extra shield. They need to change something with her leap, either making it less predictable or making it not necessary for her burst damage. They need to zone in on one of her abilities and make that her clearing one, lowering the cd a bit, whether that be the 2 or the 3. Either one of which also needs to have their animations decreased, especially the 2. Either the 2 or the 3, whichever one that wasnt made the primary clear, needs to have some more cc added to it, like say her 3 now has a root. And then they need to do something with her ult... either make a whole new one or give it something that makes it benefitial in the late game. They also could change her passive in some way, maybe for a hard cc rather than in one of the abilities. Like say her 2 makes the target marked in some way, and when said target is struck from any damage from bastet they are stunned or something. She just needs something that makes her have more potential in team fights, mostly through some sort of cc and an ult that isnt only effective on objectives or duels.

Bastet is a beast in Assault, though. :V

I find it funny that all these gods are fairly common and do well in duel, which is what I play. So this goes against my experience XD

I can see this in conquest, but Anubis and Isis are great in casuals, they are such pub stomp gods, buffing them would be like buffing Loki, it would be chaos.

For me Loki is the worst god, maybe not in the matter of performance (even tho he IS bad), but I know he performs even better than Bastet in jungle, but my point is something you mentioned on a recent video about him, he's easy enough to one-shot a squishy (which makes no sense to be able to do that with just 2 abilities and 2 Hydra's procs) and that helps to make him maybe the most hated god, but also he totally lacks teamfight potential, and thus he's not only hated by enemies but also by his teammates. So this guy has no place, maybe not even in the game, everything he does is being a pain for everyone

There are no bad God's, it's all about how you play them. Master all and each one will be good.

Ik that this list is about conquest but I believe that Xing is amazing in Joust now. I’ve been doing amazing with him using a build I stole from solodoublej called the No Escape Build

with bastet they should make it when you hit them with your 2 then your 3 they get a 2-second stun or something or just rework her with a new ult or make it where the cats can be thrown out a lot further and add the Argo mechanic where you can pick the targets

I think hades is the worst god this is because his idea is a mage who puts himself out of position.... at least arachne and bastet complete there role correctly although they need buffs btw I'm a hades main I should know

The thing is some people think that worst god = under powered, but it is not because if you buff those gods there is others that gonna take their place. i honestly wouldn't had though of Bastet ever sense i play her and still get the job don and carry my team nd get top damage (yes she is not the best but doesn't mean she cant get the job don)

The problem I have with Baster is that her abilities just feel like there is a long windup on them outside of the 3. One thing which I wonder if it could be done is that putting the pounce cooldown on when you first land seeing as it is adding 4s to its cooldown. It just feels like Baster is a lost cause since she doesn't do anything better than anyone else. Sure getting heartseeker and 1 3 2 someone will kill them but that's true for most gods and the kill time is alot lower. The 4s pounce timer doesn't feel long enough when your abilities take 4s to wind up ;_;

Poor Bastet. I like her a lot but man is she bad. Like you said she has so many faults... I don't know what to do to fix her without a redesign, which I wouldn't like at all. I think speeding up her animations, and maybe adding something to her ult or jump could work well. Like enemies hit by her jump are crippled shortly, or her cats gain increased damage to structures, so she can split push again(not as well as the backdoor protections are still there but maybe make it less of an issue with the cats. As for arachne, yeah, finding her best playstyle with this change is going to show where she actually is. making her a glass cannon like weak3n will change nothing with this buff as you'll still use it mostly for escapes. Building her bruiser seems best but she could still get blown up. Maybe we'll find some cool items for her. I would like 1 more thing added to the ult for mostly flavor reasons but it would be a buff: have her spawn spiders on any god hit in the radius. Not sure how crazy the buff would be but I would like it for flavor and fun reasons

Personally, I think Camazotz should be on that list. The only CC he has is his 2 which is a slow. Has little no to mobility, his leap might be the shortest in the game alongside Discordia (correct me if I'm wrong). Does very little damage after all the nerfs he got earlier this season. We're left with a God with moderate sustain (not insane, he's got his healing nerfed too!), little to no CC, moderate-ish damage and no mobility.

Bastet sucks in conquest, ill give you that but her early game is insane in joust/duels. Id say that nike is probably the worst god from an overall performance perspective, duel is worthless, joust she can't even get her passive maxed until 35 min and her teamfight is just a 5 second slow with low damage. Her solo is not half bad but lacks in comparison to someone like bellona which has great clear and a great teamfight ultimate. I think she needs a buff to her passive or just a new passive in general and maybe a rework to her 2 which only changes her abilities slighty and gives her a pathetic boost in HP5.

8:22 when the enemy is afk/disconnected

Before the Xing buff, my mate always plays him and he was still devastating in casual play, he was so underrated and could turn a game around

I had a dream where they made kratos a God. It was worse than baron...

I feel like you watched Weaken's video of smite worst gods

Isis main here! She's one of my favourite Gods by far. Her kit just has so much potential for me and I love how useful her ult is.

Idea: Give the 2 a scaling cooldown from 14/13 seconds down to as low as 9/8, and give the 3 anti-heal. This would give her at least some options at different points in the game, you could even have the cats refresh the effect of the 2 even thought that might be much

Dont get me wrong duke i love your videos i watch since 2016, but i people saying there's bad and good god even i do. But it feels like people are never happy about what they have look a Baka he was really bad and not in the META for 2 years maybe now they buff him and now people complains that he'a broken and this happen with a lot of gods. Maybe its just me and i dont understand people 😶

Isis is the best God in the game she has knock up immunity.

"Sixth least picked..." That was painful, but you got through it!

I have some ideas to make Nike better. -Change the passive -Make the two part of the ultimate -Make the two into another wave clear attack like a cone or spin attack,so she can still clear after she gets CC'ed -Maybe add some buffs from her current passive to her ultimate(add a damage and protection buff to allies that stand in her ultimate aura) -Increase the duration of the ultimate or increase the shield and make the ultimate end when she loses all of her shield -Maybe add a crowd control to her 2 since she has no other hard CC other than her escape

360p gang

Bastet is pretty good on console, i know your not talking about console but i'm just tossing in my two cents. Bastet seems to be better on consoles then pc, i play her almost religiously as an assassin carry or jungle and she does pretty well as a carry. Maybe she's just another case of a god in the wrong class.

I think they should give bastet 0.5s of cripple immune after her leap so she has safer poke and make the 2 tick faster but deal the same damage (it take 4s) and speed the animation up a bit so it doesn't get interrupted all the time. Also if ur gonna give a buff when the cats die, give a speed buff so that if they die, she can either get closer to attack or run away better

Never again will I refer to Sisi as the goddess of magic, but instead the goddess of demonetization. That subtle humor you have is what makes you great Duke.

Dude... 5 minutes in and you havent even started the list yet. We get it some are good at different tiers of play

Jing Wei is the most garbage god in smite by far... 0 damage, 0 wave clear, only really useful against knock ups. She can get to lane quick and escape, that is it

I think you hit the nail on the head on that last Counter bit. There are just too many counter gods/items/relics imo that make certain gods just not viable or useless. I like using Daji/Pele but god forbid they have a full CC team, I can't go in worth a damn. The one time I played Hades in Clash, I just built him like a Guardian cause no other way was I gonna survive, plus got Bumbas or wtv that gives speed to actually get people for my team. I also think that they sometimes give gods too much shit or too little.

I play the other modes, i despise conquest, but i can safely say that if you love bastet and want to play her, she is a very safe and useful pick in arena. Precasting her jump before a teamfight and then running in, dropping your kit then jumping back to your backline is a very safe and effective strategy. Sure other assassins have more pentakill potential if you play assassins for snowball like kali or thanatos, but she is very consistent and hard to shutdown. If you can bait and dodge cripples, you're effectively unkillable. My last ten bastet matches all end with 10+ kills, 30-40k damage dealt, and 1-2 deaths max, often going deathless. I definitely see why she would be weak in a conquest setting though, no argument there.

Just because a character isn't valued doesn't make them bad. Ullr is very highly valued and does worse than all but Isis on this list. Really picking Ullr is more of a throw than any of your other picks you mentioned. Just all those other picks aren't considered meta so people aren't driving their winrates down by picking them into everything. The thing about ranked is a lot of it is just this is supposedly strong pick it whenever you can. Which is why you get a lot of picks that are valued way more heavily than they should be. Example Hera is currently the 2nd most pick/banned with a 49.11% winrate certainly not a horrible pick but not something that should really be that highly valued

Duke why u trippin, bastet still good af if played by a good person, she my most annoying god to play against, she is not easily countered, u name beads and aegis like dude that's a counter to everything but u only get that once every couple minutes, she has hella low cooldowns, u not gone be able to keep doin that, after the first time u pretty much done for if u not a tank, so annoying to just jump in do hella damage and jump a mile back to safety, u trolling wit this video, gotta be

That's funny cuz as a decent level 30 console player, anubis and arachne are absolute units. And thoth is ASS 😭

I just build bastet bruiser. The ult is nice early/midish game. Late game is where the ult problem lies. 700 hp with 60 protections is laughably bad since the cats are 1-2 shot depending on who you're going against. In teamfights they last maybe.....1 second? the leap is ok considering it deals massive damage for a leap that can basically be recalled. Maybe she just needs a better passive too. An extra 20% damage is nice but....you can't really do much with that item wise other then runeforged hammer. Giving the cats more survivability would be the ideal choice but that might make them too strong then. Another idea could be being able to control the cats so that they don't all group up and take massive damage from one source. Make them spread out. another idea is to remove the power gained when they die and instead....reduce the ult Cd by alot. Because honestly...there has not been many times where the power gained from the cats was noticed...let alone used. either the I get the kill and move on or I'm too low to continue and need to back anyway. If damage wasn't so high in this game maybe the cats would be much better.

Nike is the worst god in smite by far

Aphrodite '-'

As someone who really likes Bastet, I totally agree she needs some serious buffing. Her kit (especially the ult) just feels so underwhelming in comparison to other assassins to the point where it feels like Hi-Rez/TitanForge have just straight up forgotten about her. Also I really like your idea about giving her leap a sort of second jump instead of the incredibly linear return-to-sender mechanic it is now.

Arachne is my favorite assassin and the first assassin I got to diamond. I’m glad she’s finally getting a buff. However I still feel like her ult will still be used as an escape most of the time.

In a teamfight, Bakasura is the absolute worst god you could have on your team. He has no hard CC outside of his ult (which is unreliable at locking people down), and his heal is so situational that the buffs you get, or heal you need, will never be there when you need them. He is built to get ahead, a character made for outrotation. Even so, the second it isn't a 1v1 he becomes pure garbage. Being able to gank mid or solo x2 doesn't help how absolutely terrible the kit is. I feel like the thing they should do is get rid of his kit entirely. It's completely outdated and needs to be removed. A new kit that uses true damage, pets, and a bite in there somewhere would be fine, but his current state is trash outside of duel.

Bastet is my favorite assassin. I suggest updating her passive to not remove the wound but have every ability hit refresh the wound duration. Also, let her passive apply to her basic attack damage as well. Speed up the ticks of razor whip (or make it 3 ticks of more damage instead of 4) and/or let declaw cripple.

Can you make an 'most op gods in Smite' video? Or did you already make one?

I really enjoy playing Isis, she's so fun and feels rewarding to play when you get kills, objectives, etc. And I agree with you 100%. I hope Titan finds a way to make her and a bunch of other gods better this coming season because it's annoying seeing the same gods being played over and over again. Enjoyed the video!

The fact that cabrakan is there surprises me. Maybe in competitive he might not be that good, but in casual you can become loki as him. Please try it, it's really fun to play as well

For bastet: -double pounce if you hit an enemy -in built antiheal for the 3 -you spawn 5 cats instead of 3 and in a circle radius at medium range, they dont slow anymore, just in the radius I wanna see your thoughts!

Totally agree about Cabraken. I've actually been doing very well w/Bastet/Isis, but my worst god is one you didn't mention: Hun Batz. He has no strong CC outside of his ult, next to no damage (his passive doesn't really do much), his abilities are slow and predictable, and his teleport is unreliable, to say the least. I can't find any place where he excels. There's no real reason to pick him outside of his ult, and others are better in that regard (e.g Da Ji).

Thanks Vodafone. I feel with you. Got the same problem with Vodafoen Kabel

Hey i was wondering where you got the least played gods in ranked stats from? I want to see them for myself

What do you think of giving Bastet two jumps like Nemesis dash. Jump in deal your damage and then jump out. Although this would make her escape too powerful given the distance of her leap. So then make it like Achilles 3? Like, maybe you get a second jump if you deal damage with your first jump, or if you deal damage in a 3s window after your first jump so that you're not required to actually hit the jump and then can use it to gap close.

To be honest the bastet's problem is a problem that is shared with a lot of the older gods that survived the initial fallout of some the niché older gods a few seasons ago and they received buffs to help them keep up. Remember when art's boar insta-died late game and didn't have those extra seconds of immunity and the 2 didn't have movement speed. It was a long time coming that the survivor's of that period would falloff eventually given the fears of power creep back then. It's a problem shared by hade's 3, Hun batz's 2, bastet's 2 & 3, Isis 1 & 3, and to a lesser extend Agni's 2 (though the stun combo could justify this delay to be honest) and that is the pre-cast animation being too long for the ability's overall value, smite's time to kill has speed up over the years and the game has moved away from a meta of telegraphed attacks, and from a design perspective with such shift there should be a revised maximum pre-cast time for smite basic abilities; since am sure to a newer player these long pre-cast delays just look awkward and plays out awkwardly for what they do.

One thing that keeps confusing me with Bastet is that her return jump doesn't do damage. It's not all she needs, your explanation of the 2 actually makes so much sense idk how I hadn't noticed the delay before, but it would just make so much more sense to me if you could double-jump people o.o

Noooooooooo That Bastet one killed me 😿 She's my go to jungler when i take that role

10:29 That made me laugh xD

The Morrigan, apparently, is great early game due to low cooldown AND high damaging 2nd skill... but late game... well... almost everyone now has great equipment, and in addition to more powerful skills, she becomes a squishy non-threat. If played wrongly, actually.

As an aspiring Bastet player, I fully agree with your points as they line up with my research. She needs buffs that improve her usefulness and longevity in combat without changing her completely.

I think a good buff for bastet would be making her 2 faster and making it do all the damage at once while reducing a bit its damge and cd, adding a fourth cat or fifth cat in upper levels and making the cats give a debuff like reducing healing for 30 % and making the targets receive 10% damage increase, this debuff stacking up to 2 times, the debuff being applied with the cats aa, this would make her a strong but no overwhelming god in my eyes at least. PD Numbers should be revised though.

I actually enjoyed isis' recent buff with her silence radius being bigger. It would be nice if they buffed her ultimate to slow the enemy down or/and apply an antiheal effect automatically and passive a bit more

Now that you mention it, what happened to Thoth. I have him lvl 10 and haven’t played or seen him in months

On console, I Also get those annoying lag spikes is there a way to prevent that or do I have to pray before a match happens.

I remember how strong xing tian was in the beginning of console. People just didn't know beads existed I guess xd

Scream was awesome with Bastet @ worlds.

I could be reading into it too much, but i think you said Kali needs a buff. I agree. Im glad im not alone

That poor Anubis was just trynna order some food u ain’t never had to do him like that😭

When you have arachnophobia and see Arachne in enemy team lineup...time to KILL KILL KILL 😠😣

I used to absolutely love Baster in around 2014, 5 years later I came back to the game and I was so shocked at how bad she was?? I'm sad that I basically can't play her anymore(because I've also lost all my skills lmao)

Every time I see arachne I just miss the OG Arachne ult. It was so cool. SO sad that it is gone.

How do people play with A W R and spacebar as there ability casts
