Anubis passive needs to be reverted.

[neonhigh]

I honestly don't understand who thought giving the god that symbolises risk-reward a massive amount of late-game protections, ability power AND life-steal in on a passive with no cd to be balanced. Even buying antiheal doesn't work against him because he heals his entire health bar anytime he uses an ability. How is having four damage abilities, three of which have over 120% scaling each, two clears and a stun in ANY way balanced. He's literally playable in all four roles and has high win rates in all of them.

I am by no means trying to belittle you, but he's not untouchable by any means. He is quite squishy. Perhaps try a different approach against him?

I would say theres a single issue on anubis, the ult hitbox, normally you could circle close to him to basically dont get hit, but the hitbox of the ult is wrong, and hits you even if you on his back if you're too close to him, thats terrible, and definitely needs a fix.

Except he isn't?

He gets 9 protections at base plus 0.5 per level. So 19 extra protections at all times. Plus 38 additional protections at 50% hp. That's over 50 protections just for being there. As well as 18% additional lifesteal.

So he basically gets two bonus items on any build, as well as having one ability with 286% scaling, one with 140% and a 25 percent slow, and his ult having over 2000% scaling if you hit every tic, as well as being one of the only abilities with 100% scaling for the initial tic.

He's incredibly cheap, insanely bloated and has sat on the highest win-rate we've seen on smite 2 since release. With no nerfs.

He's insanely boring to play against, almost impossible to 1v1 without playing another dumb cheat god; and even then he's never really got a weak spot. He's a mage that broken at both long and short range, and can easily pop his ult for a free kill because they removed the safety clause of having him actually AIM it.

His passive is just worse.
If you think that 18% less damage taken and 18% lifesteal when he has 20% health left is gonna save him you have never focused down a target in your life.
You don't even need antiheal for his passive.
And if you see some anubis throw and build typhon's for some reason, your mage will laugh in divine ruin, arguably the best mage item currently... Which is cheaper, has twice the power and turns his item into garbage.
Anubis only works if you are at least even but preferably ahead. Otherwise he just absolutely dies.

The issue is you're not factoring in the simple fact that he gets those things for free. On top of his base stats and items. That's blatantly just cheap af.

And that's blatantly not true when he has the top win rate in ranked by nearly ten percent.

And anyone else doesn't get their passive for free? lol
also can you please share your source?
The only thing I can find is a site that has a laughable 5k games as data and says he is a jungle pick...

Nobody else receives two full items worth of stats for free, no. And 'he doesn't get them until-' doesn't work when he can lifesteal most of his hp bar with any of his three main damaging abilities, which are obscenely overscaled.

Ok so first of all that website is worthless
5000 games is nothing and it doesn't even tell you about the skill levels. If people pubstomp with him in bronze who cares.

Also gross over exaggeration on the two full items worth.
18% lifesteal is maybe a third an items worth if you ignore passives and actives, the prots are maybe half ignoring passives/actives. So you get at best like 60% of an item?

And yes, you cannot ignore the fact it's not always active at full power. If you got 200 protections when at 1% health that would be worthless correct?
Defensive stats in particular are losing value the later they activate. That's just basic logic... Otherwise berserkers shield would be the most op item in the game.

Anubis isn't performing well because of his passive, the ultimate is a lot better with upfront damage and high scaling abilities are somewhat a rarity outside of Aladdin. So if you can actually manage to get your high int items online you can do a lot of damage because your scaling comes online earlier than other god's. A competent jungler can keep him controlled and in a late game team fighting situation he dies just as easily as anyone else without movement...

We both know nothing you just wrote actually defeats what I've already stated.

Giving an already overperforming god two free items is broken. Which is why he's the highest played and highest win-rate god.

You can leave now.

You can leave now.

Blanket win rate is pretty irrelevant. What's his win rate at 3500 SR+? I rarely see him even picked in higher games.

I understood it. It's just wrong.

It's my thread btw. Have fun with your baiting ban.

Logically he's not picked in upper ranks because people will just run at him all game and 5 on 1 him even if it means losing lane. He's too broken to allow to thrive.

So everyone who doesn't agree with your objectively wrong statement needs to be banned?
Last time I checked this is was discussion not a dictatorship.

If you don't want people disagreeing with you I suggest you don't post anything online.

Also your argument of him not being picked because people who are skilled enough deal with him and win is hysterical.

He's the definition of a noob stomper.

I really do wonder why it's always sub 50% winrate silver Andy's who have such impeccable game knowledge to tell everyone what is broken and what isn't.

Please don't take that the wrong way but just play a bit more and learn more so you will eventually get to a point where you'll understand that he's not as bad as you make him out to be.

Anubis has great dps but zero mobility and is very squishy. He needs to stand in place or maintain melee range to deal full damage. He's always been a meh god because he lacks the range and mobility of better mages.
