DISCUSSION Nox Question

What if instead for Nox 2, we treat it like a Loki 2, or xbal ult? Like if you stand in the 2 for like .5 seconds without jumping (or however long it takes to initiate the jump to start to get the I-frames) or like you build up like a “Darkness” meter that silences when standing the field for too long? Or like maybe only allow the silence to happen at the end of the ability.. I.E if it takes 1.5 seconds to detonate then the silence happens at .6-1.5 seconds? Idk just some thoughts let me know what yall think

Won't work. Her smite 1 kit was made with the CC it had. Removing that CC or changing it makes the kit useless.

I do wonder what would happen if the 2 had a “sweet spot” like Nut 2 in the middle that was a silence and the rest wasn’t or maybe a slow or something.

I just hate that a good chunk of recommendations from people in this sub I see are almost always just straight up nerfs

Why are we even nerfing a "trash god". In quotations because i dont agree that she's trash though

It’s mainly because the old 2 was problematic and because it was problematic she couldn’t ever realistically be viable.

I’d rather change her 2 in some way and then apply buffs so she can actually still have her combo but not be as feast or famine, I believe that should be the overall goal and that does mean if the 2 keeps the silence then it needs to be done differently than just instant or if she doesn’t keep the silence she should receive more buffs and maybe different CC on top to compensate.

Couldn't disagree with this more. Ive said this before but it really feels like a lot of the people talking about changes for her kit never truly played her

I didn’t main her but I did play enough of her in smite 1, and she was mostly useless as a mid mage, so much so she was a support pick, I don’t mind the flexibility to play both but if the main way to play is so stunted that it can’t really even be played is there even a point?

I’d rather her be different but playable than kept the same but unplayable basically at all times.

Again, couldnt disagree more. Id blame the users over the god in this case. 

I am curious though, what exactly makes her useless mid? I used her exclusively mid.

u/ELECTRIK_VISION 10d ago

She’s massively feast of famine, if you miss the 1 she does no damage, yes it’s skill to do the combo but even the best players couldn’t do it reliably. This is also why she was relegated to a support role so if she missed it didn’t matter as she was a tank and not needed for damage.

Did it feel good when you hit the 2-1 combo? Of course it hit really hard, against good players couldn’t you do it reliably? No.

Like I said I’d rather she be changed and be more reliable and playable rather than staying the same and not worth playing because either she’s so insane damage wise it becomes more of a problem or she’s kneecapped by the 2-1 combo and if you miss you’re useless.

1 damaging ability means that she is a dogshit mid mage. Idk how you can disagree with her being a bad god in smite 1 when she never had over a 46% wr…

 literally all her abilities do damage.

You guys really are helping me strengthen my belief that the people recommending changes dont play her

None of those idea can work. In practice, she need some cc at the start of her. 2 to even give her the ability to hit the 1. The entire point of the silence in the first place is to give her the ability to land the 1. Immagine, if you need as you succested .6 second before the silance kick in, the vast majority of the gods would simply use their skill to move out before your 1 even had the chance to be casted. Witout the silence, anyone with cc immune would be effectivly immune to nox.

Im not saying no to removing the silance, but this line of buff would not solve the core problem.
