    at $4.50, I'm pretty sure this is the cheapest the awesomenauts expansion has ever been, then it has a copy of the base game & soundtrack besides

    Only time I've played Hel was in assault

    Turns out

    Hel is really good in assault

    She offers sustain for the team while also doing good AoE damage. A well-played Hel is 100% my favorite teammate in that mode.

    It was my absolute first time playing Hel, so I was fumbling around a lot.

    But even then holy shit, keeping that team up and going through teamfight after teamfight.

    hel is actually, genuinely broken in assault

    if a team with a hel on it loses to a team that doesn't have a hel, regardless of what else is happening, that hel fucked up, and badly

    Hi everyone! I just got redirected here, I had no idea there was a MOBA thread. Anyway I'm playing SMITE and Infinite Crisis mostly. My IGN is the same as here if you guys want to get together and play sometime.

    Yeah, we've tried to get G&T into Smite, and it just doesn't happen for whatever reason.

    Hey TDOT

    My last day on the farm was yesterday.

    They bought me a couple beers and now I feel like a dick.

    But holy shit I am so glad to be done with the farm.

    Just hit up TDOT in game or on Steam, and he can squeeze you in. People are typically willing to drop out to give another person a chance to play because we're bad and cannot handle the humiliation.

    I have to say Smite is the first MOBA I'm not terribad at. Apollo and Ao Kuang are my best characters but I'm going to try out Mercury tonight.

    That's gotta be a really tough balancing act to pull off. If she gets good, with her current kit, she's going to be obnoxious as hell. Guessing her ult will be the first thing on the chopping block, if it doesn't get reworked or the cooldown massively increased.

    Maybe have the net go wide, and pull everything in it towards her? (But not all the way, only things that are directly hit.) Would give it a excuse to have a longer cooldown. Might be too Ares, but screw Ares.

    I think they should keep her ult, and do something different with her 2 and 3.

    Riding your enemies around is too risky with all of the crowd control in the game now, and her 3 is 100% useless without the cripple

  • Options

    she needs some movement ability, imo. as an assassin she has no way to really close the distance or escape without her ult.

    Arachne has never been anywhere on the continuum between "grossly unplayable" and "roflstomp"

    I agree completely that the 2 and 3 are the abilities most in need of a rework, along with her passive

    On the subject of Hel: she is very strong in Assault, but not broken. I think Ra is the better healer class for your team to have rolled -- he can put out both healing and a substantial amount of burst damage from a safe distance, where Hel has to put herself directly in the line of fire. As a result, she also gets fudged up much harder by Weakening Curse than Ra does.

    Man Sakari is really, really fun and interesting to play.

    She's complex but mostly because in a fight you have to be focusing on your wall placement, stacks, CCing guys and when to ult.

    I'm getting pretty solid in lane (seeing a 5 stacked opponent just disappear is incredible) but I'm still completely spazzing out in full on teamfights and fucking up.

    Marriage counselor for the Greek or Roman gods would be so depressing.

    He doesn't really have enough cc to properly support, and he lacks the damage that could make him a viable brusier.
