Can He Bo just be deleted

[wrathman24]

everytime ive ever faced a he bo i end up breaking something because her can litterally 1 shot anyone who isint a damn tank it pisses me of that i can use some gods whole kit against him and he survives just to hit me with 2 attacks and his most powerful attack has a 3 sec cooldown like is this a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke?

No worries, his buff will make you rage even harder :D

[Dark_Clown]

he bo can 2 shot ppl? no way...who could have guessed ...without that he would be even worse then he already is
he is a glas cannon with less range then most other mages and no real escape besides his ult

[Project 39]

He also has no escape, a weak early game and mediocre area damage(aside from his ult) unless the enemies are super closed together

[wrathman24]

even if he has no escape his main damage ability only has a 3 sec cooldown and does way too much damage

[ayebeesea]

maybe have better positioning? or if he bothers you that much just main tanks and build full magical defense :D

[wrathman24]

i really dont care about spl balance in smite is not decided by spl and all parts of the smite community should be considered when balancing. and even if you do main tank you wont deal enough damaeg to him to be signifigant and depending on team it might even be worse

There is a reason why this game is unbalanced to begin with, because this part has already been put into application for a long time, and unfortunately, noobs who can't even play this game right have the loudest voices. It's why balanced gods like Susano got overbuffed needlessly at the beginning of Season 4, why Cu Chulainn got a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BUFF, why Scylla also got a buff a long time ago, why Daji got overbuffed, etc.

Deleted isn't the word you're looking for, it's "nerfed" and besides you can't delete gods, Tryna piss of Religions are we now?

You might not care about SPL (I don't either), but that is where the competetive part of the game is. If they aren't balanced, what's the point in having tournaments? So they focus based on that, meaning it is a good indicator of what is strong and what isn't (at least in the competetive players mind).

All parts of the community are considered, I seem to remember a previous patch notes saying that certain gods have done too well in Casuals and have recieved nerfs, or not picked enough in Casuals and got buffs.

He Bo has very low health (possibly lowest in Mages or close to it). You don't need to do a lot of damage, especially not compared to other characters. If you main tank, apart from the lower damage dealing ones (typically Sylvanus, Khepri etc), you should still be able to do a lot of damage to him, maybe not enough to kill him if you are playing full tank/support, but enough to make him need to back (or get picked off by your assassin, mage, or hunter depending on team comp).

Ward and don't feed him. His 2-shots require that he is relatively close to you, so try to cc him before he can delete you. Also, considering using sanctuary to evade his damage, or beads right when you are knocked up.

TBH, there is much more individual counterplay to He Bo compared to gods like Ao Kuang.

[Lissy McTitty]

There are plenty of gods more OP than him, just try to dodge attacks in general if you can. (Not just with He Bo)

[no brains]

I main he bo (200-120 wr), he's fun glass cannon god like loki, goes well vs noobs
1. if he buys fast bancroft early game will be ez but late or even mid game will be lost to most phys gods (breastplate and sh-t won't help, need health)
2. if he buys warlock's sash he won't be even able to one shot creep wave with 1, and in late game he still will be countered with 1 any defense item (bulwark/pestilence vs bancroft)
3. if he can't kite enemy with scroll and either can't one shot enemy with 3+1+4 combo, loses too

No range? He has what is probably the best long range poke with his 3

But the other 2 damaging abilities put him much closer to the enemy. His ult would put him out of position too, making him fairly easy to deal with if he misses (or if there are other people around to punish him for it).

If you hate He Bo you will really be tilted if you play against a god Janus player. He can be 100x mor annoyying. Just rush He Bo btw. Super easy to kill.
