Which is your favorite God pantheon in Smite ?

[LiamX]

Okay.... The heck? I'm speechles.. Are you like sarcastic?

I gave you a hypothetical view of no Roman Pantheon so you could know they have purpose.. What I Didn't do in that hypothesis is remove the miss monsters everyone loves.. Why the heck would you remove them?

You're exaggerating when you said "everyone". And hypothetical view or not, I was just adding to the discussion.

[Sissyum]

Nike and Nemesis are ok. I don't like them. But main reason why I exclude them is other pantheons are not as many so one has to choose which gods to save. They're not one of the Olympians and Chronos, Hades and Thanatos are far more popular, important, cooler and more badass than them.

And why delete the monsters? Because in real Greek Mythology, Medusa could never beat say.. Athena. It's like a baby with no special powers beating up an adult. gods, titans and someone like Sun Wukong is at least on par with each other.

And if I were calling the shots, yes, I will remove the Roman pantheon from the game, transfer the Olympian 3 to the Greeks, give Apollo a bow, ignore the Celtic pantheon and keep them at 4 and create REAL gods like Hera, Set, Horus, Tsukuyomi, Fuxi, Xi Wang Mu, etc. Players will have get some gods for free. Say if the player had Scylla, he'll get Hera for free. And so on.

Okay fair enough... Everyone has their opinions and I'm not gonna force anything because I'm feeling a bit ranty, but who am I to judge..

I'm gonna step away and not give a damn about what other people think..

But before I do that...

You think monsters and mortals dont play a role for Greek Gods?

I'm going to assume you do with your wording, at how they are weak. Forgive me if this isn't what you meant.

Mortals play insane role for Gods. With them, they get power. The more people who worship/fear you, the better. No mortals? No one worships the Gods. (This is gods we're talking about.. not Titans) By this logic.. Gods and Mortals share equal significance in Mythology

Now for monsters...

So these Monsters are created from some possibilities which include:

1. Spawn of Echidna and Typhon (E.G. Chimera, Manticore)
2. A curse from the gods (E.G. Medusa, Arachne)
3. They're more ancient than the gods, but the gods found a way to make peace and control them(E.G. Kâmpe, Scylla)

By technicality, category 3 are as strong as the gods. Number 2 exists cause they hate the gods. Number 1, fortunately.. no one ia there yet in Smite.

These monsters share the same thing...

They hate mortals, and kill them

So Lets take a look at our current logic...

Gods love Mortals. More Mortals = More Power for Gods
Mortals need Gods. The more worshipping = Less Death due to some shit the gods make.
Monsters hate Mortals. More mortals = More Food, which results in dead mortals
More Food For Monsters = Less Worshippers for gods = Weaker Gods

Which means that the monsters can weaken the immortals by killing mortals.

Euh my brain is overheating..

So? Change your thoughts on monsters? No.. ah well

Sorry dear moderators.. I screwed the purpose of this thread.. ban me if you must, I'm too much of a pain.

Also, i'm biased..

Well the other guy presented a hypothetical removal of the Roman pantheon (which by the way I am all for). So, why not remove some mistake gods as well.

They are not "mistakes." They're mostly well-designed characters that have no good reason not to be in the game and whom a lot of people clearly like. If you would remove them, then you are a shitty businessman.

And it's not for no reason, these "gods" should have never been added in the first place. I mean I have a significant level with Mercury but if he were to be removed from the game due to the removal of the Roman pantheon, it's a sacrifice I am willing to take.

There's no reason for them not to have been added. Just because they're not gods doesn't mean they're not interesting. Not only that, but you're probably the only guy who won't be salty if his main gets removed because of nomenclature.

Besides, there's nothing you can get from grinding gods other than a look change with diamond.

Except the time spent playing that god, which is likely the reason you were playing them to start with, and those are hours you can never have more of because that god is gone for no good reason.

Also, Titans are as powerful as the gods like Sun Wukong so they're ok. Medusa, Scylla and Arachne on the other hand...

Hermes/Mercury isn't that powerful, either. He's just fast. AMC is just the god of bees, which are harmless because he's a Mayan god and the Mayans bred bees to be harmless. We have no evidence that Sol's powerful at all, since all she does is ride around the sky. Ratatoskr is just an asshole mailman, with powers that don't go far beyond fondling his nuts. Meanwhile, Medusa can kill a motherfucker just by making eye contact.

Trying to get through to Liam is like trying to explain color to a blind man.

Yeah but harassing the disabled is fun

[S1itz]

My favorite pantheon is any European (+Egyptian) pantheon. All of these japanese/chinese/etc gods feel like some random World of Warcraft characters to me.

Noted for future threads, so I won't sound like a pushover

[LittlePebble02]

The way Liam reasons the removal of characters reminds me of capcom reasoning for the roster choices for infinity. You know the one where characters are just functions.

[kuzenbo 23]

My favorite pantheons are Japanese, Norse and egyptian.

I mean that just makes it easier for me to push him into tower do to his blindness.
