Smite patch notes on Monday. They will be discussing Medusa.
BTW, the quality of life buff to Cabrakan's 1 is pretty great, even if it took a little time to get used to (I actually missed hits more than once because I was unexpectedly fast).
I should give a bellona a shot now. I still don't have mastery on her.
People were building attack speed on her before because of the OP life gain, but I've always built power and done well with it. Assault, Arena, Siege, even a solo lane round in Conquest.
So, double... favor login rewards? Actually, my big gem reward happens on a Monday, so I wonder if that'll get doubled, though my small gem reward today wasn't. Kind of weird that they didn't make it go for a whole week.
Edit: And it has been amended to go through the weekend now.
The decision to put that mask on medusa was brilliant. It really brings the whole character together and makes a lot of thematic sense as well. She looks great.
Medusa seems pretty neat, I think they did a pretty great job on the model. It will remain to be seen how her kit actually works together, I really like the passive being about her slithery movement.
Urgh, apparently some completely new passive play style has evolved in Assault. Worse than usual, otherwise I wouldn't bother commenting on it. We get a team of three mages and hunters, which, while not perfect at all, we have a lot of the synergy in the kits.
Apparently getting a full team stun with Chang'e is not enough notice that HEY THE TEAM FIGHT IS GOOD, MAYBE VULCAN AND JANUS AND CUPID SHOULD ULT. Or fight. Or do ANYTHING.
I guess I didn't fill out a form two weeks in advance and in triplicate.
Yeah, I usually see the passive stuff when one side has tanks and the other doesn't. Or, as I related in my nights of Assault a few days ago or so, when your team literally can't hit anything and you're top player damage as Sylvanus with no damage items after 10 minutes.
I'm working on getting the PTS now, think I'll try this one out for a change... I don't think the new PTS version is out just yet, though apparently the servers are ready according to Twitter. But, since I've never installed the PTS before, I need to get it all in the first place.

there's a solution to this
it's called "send TDOT a message, that stupid fucker goes HAM 24/7"
I'll set it to where people can apply once that update goes live, for now let me know when you're ready for an invite
if I haven't shot you an invite already it probably means you're already in a clan (or your in-game name is different from your forum name and I've forgotten who you are)
Watching Zapman playing Medusa... she might be a bit crazy, not sure, since it's Zapman, one of the top 10 hunters in the world. Her ult goes through enemy towers... which makes no sense, not sure if they'll change that or not, but it would make more sense if the gaze didn't go through objects.

either way, let me know if you want an invite
I will bail on my current clan as soon as I can. Would boot up and take care of it right now, but the computer is busy doing a 300 frame 3D render. Made a new intro for my return to the Tube of Yous.
no clue how she's going to fall balance-wise though
I might see her as being close to release new Ao Kuang levels of damage, but much easier to kill, as her escape has no stealth component. Her ultimate gives her slightly more teamfight, but honestly, with the fact that people have to be facing her to be stunned, it might not be too bad. Her single target, though, is probably going to be through the roof, like any other adc, but her 1 gives her stupidburst, and is the ability to watch as far as balance goes. Her passive is super cool, and I don't think it gives her too major of an advantage to require nerfing.
This analysis brought to you by a guy who has literally no information on how she performs in a real environment.
...and quite frankly, her kit sounds like so much fun I can't wait to play her.

Bellona.
Power boots/jotunns/shifters/winged blade/whatever the fuck after that. Swing the hammer, smash some poor fools.

couple of fun surprises in there

FARG CLAN SHALL BE SUPREME
It just wouldn't be the same otherwise
Kelly posted some in-game close-ups of Medusa:
Oh, and full patch notes are now available.

I do hate how the PTS installs however... new installs should really be more caught up towards the most recent patch, this is kind of ridiculous.

and considering I just spent a large part of my day playing orcs must die 2, that's saying something
Orcs Must Die: Unchained just dropped a massive patch that makes sweeping changes to everything from the game's balance to its business model
https://www.orcsmustdie.com/#!/en/news/the-phase-2-patch-notes-are-now-available
servers aren't live yet though so I'll be diving back in tomorrow
Man, I haven't seen that Ulduar Boss in forever!
Or else a GI Joe reference.
