Which gods do you think could've been represented better in smite?

[post apocalypse otter boi]

Now I'm no mythology expert but I figured we could do this for fun. Which gods/goddesses do you think smite did not do the best job of making them true to their mythologies?

So for me I think Smite kinda misrepresented erlang shen by not giving him true sight of anykind. Erlang Shen was one of the only gods to be able to stand up to sun wukong when he was raging against the heavens, and one of the key points of the fight was that when sun wukong tried to hid from Erlang Shen, Erlang Shen used his third eye to see through all of sun wukong's 72 transformations. So I just think that ErLang Shen should have true sight of some form. And yes I understand that there isn't much point to true sight, but still. Like if giving him passive true sight is too much, then at least give him ture sight when he uses his spot weakness ability.

Look at his 2 "Erlang Shen opens his third eye and analyzes the enemy's strengths and weaknesses." It's only a 5 second basic attack buff, but it does use the third eye(though I do agree a third eye ability could be alot more interesting than a temporary damage buff).

I think Scylla was kind of misrepresented. I wouldn't change her, but her abilities have nothing to do with her lore. For example, she should have some sort of minion eating ability, which is the main thing with her in the myth. She should maybe also have some sort of drowning ability

Jing Wei.
I got no problem with a crossbow-wielding goddess of loli, but Jing Wei would have been more accurate, and not to mention awesome as a magic bird, as they were literally a bird in mythology. Imagine a giant bird shooting blasts of energy from it's mouth, soaring across the map and diving to escape. And hell, they want less ADCs with bows, why has this not been used?

I agree. I just learned about Jing Wei being an actual bird.

Loki. In the mythology he is a trickster yes, but more of a shapeshifting magical trickster.
Thor, the warrior prince, not some flimsy assassin.

indeed. Like I kinda get why they made Loki an assassin, but why thor? The only reason I can think of was when thor dressed up as a women to sneak into I think it was the gaint's camp, but that was Loki's idea I'm pretty sure

Xing Tian looks way too alien-esque. Why on earth is he green? Also, I find it odd that they haven't added the Jade Emperor to the Chinese pantheon.
And as everyone mentioned, why is Jing Wei a girl, and also, why is she even in the game? She's not a god, just a character from a myth meant to serve a moral lesson.

Aphrodite, she is still wearing clothes.

Scylla is not a God, Medusa too, Arachne too. Chronos is Titan. So Greek pantheon is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

2: yes, they should add it

All of those folks had direct contact with god(s) and were affected by them, but Jing Wei was just a girl that came back to life as a bird. :V

and how do you know she wasnt touched by a god (wow, that sounds even worse i was thinking) huh?
and bakasura is a monster that got killed by the son of a reincarnation, not the reincarnation, THE SON.
