Aladdin needs nerf

[E-Literally]

Literally the strongest character in the game by far. Movement is insane and can run away from anyone.

[Gemini Holo]

Every Aladdin I have encountered is a noob that feeds the opponent like mad.

[Spriggan]

he will 100% get some nerfs just gotta wait a little

[The Grimm Reefer]

Oh yeah those nerfs will happen I have no doubt. Like Gemini said about 75% of the Al's i've run into had no clue. But sweet zombie Jesus the few that did. Dear lord.

[Xiane]

Same as any god really. In the hands of someone who knows what they're doing any god seems like an OP broken mess.

Then a casual plays it and you'd swear the god needs a complete rework to be viable.

He's gonna get some heavy nerfs. Hirez already said they'll talk about him in the next stream.

He was permabanned in the tournament and the one time he got through he turned the whole game into a clown show.
This is what happens when you throw Anubis levels of damage on the most mobile character in the game, give him the option to at any point once just win a team fight (and have an immediate gold lead over everyone) an ultimate that also makes him the at worst second best 1v1 character oh and give a free boost to any items he ever builds.

He's clearly overtuned.
The noobs you see on him give him a bad rep because he has a somewhat higher skill floor but once the player is even remotely competent... Oof

[L I G H T H O U S E]

I think this will be a problem with all the new UE5 gods moving forward...they will want to show off the capabilities of the engine and what they can do but in doing so will churn out god kits so broken and overtuned it will leave the OG SMITE gods looking useless.

you can dodge with a dash of your own

Aladdin is currently being reviewed carefully by the team for any needed adjustments. We appreciate everyone's patience while we gathered data around him.

that requires effort though, they just want to be able to easily 2 shot and nothing else.

to be honest he has released into a game where no god counters him, only the morigan can counter him, once ne zha comes hes gone, ganesh would also be a counter aladin is not gonna like running through a ganesh ult and silence its also possible nox would counter him to, ideally the next few gods released would be aladin counters but they could never predict the situation, also another potential counter would be kali, aladin is not gonna like facing kali. rama can theoretically run around the ring and stall out his ult he can sit in the air for 5sec, vulcan could be stupidly strong and not care about aladin, and apparently cabraken is a pretty good aladin counter

Ive played against a few really good Aladdin players in the arena. He is definitly not op. Anyone else thats a better player can beat Aladdin with their favorite character. Ive crushed good Aladdins in arena with medusa, agni, sol, cupid, pele, and a few others. Maybe Aladdin in conquest is different. I havent played any conquest.

Of course he is way less of a problem in arena and assault. There's barely any usable walls and economy is much less of an issue, and his clear is way less of a factor.
Any slower mode with laning (conquest, joust, duel, slash) he is (or would be) a menace.

The silly thing about him is that he already has way more damage and mobility compared to other kits but even if he gets into a losing situation he can just ult and get his health and cooldowns back...
So you either nuke him or kill him twice over with the second time being massively weighted against you...

He is way overtuned and will get nerfed, regardless of how you feel about it.

As a Ymir player. Aladdin be bustin my bald spot running up out of my freeze. lol.

So many times it's like OOOOHHH I GOTCHAWHEREDAFACKYOUGOIN !?!?!?

but if i can JUST GET MY HANDS ON HIM my team will tear him down pretty quick.

And at this point I just hang outside the lamp waiting for everyone to come out nice and bunched up for that easy freeze.


But yeah has it's moments of frustration that I can't help but think it's TOO MUCH mobility. lol
