Discussion On Jing Wei

[TheGooeyBeans]

So I'm looking to hear everyone's assessment of the latest boner inducing Smite goddess. Please share your experiences, builds, and how you think she is overall. Remember, be respectful and remember that we all have different experiences/opinions.

Here's mine. Jing Wei is a boring, uninspired mess that has no place being played right now in Conquest. I've played a few games with her and tinkered around with the standard Transcendence and Golden Bow builds, upgrading her 2 first as it helps her clear tremendously and gives a good Critical Hit chance early in the game, especially if paired with Golden Bow.

1) I've been aiming to get a touch more attack speed in her build as her steroid is, quite frankly, total garbage. Her 1 is an inconsistent ability that serves as an easily avoidable kill secure that does a fairly low bit of damage...not to mention it is a very weak attack speed steroid that requires you to knock yourself up to even aquire it. Compared to some of the great steroids possessed by other hunters, meh.

2) Jing Wei's calling card is her high mobility. Her passive is undoubtedly a broken mechanic that allows her to traverse 1/3 of the map at no cost on EVERY trip out of your fountain. This will likely be nerfed. Her 3 is also a mobility move that allows you to chase down a kill (good luck) or get out of a sticky situation (more often the case). Jing is hard to kill. That being said, I'd rather play someone like Hou Yi, who is also a skill dependent ADC with high mobility that does WAY more damage. Let's also not forget Cupid, whose Flutter is far better than Jing's Agility, moving you further, faster, with a lingering movement speed attack speed buff that is far better for engaging and disengaging the enemy. Not to mention Cupid has a good heal and a great teamfight ultimate.

3) Which brings us to her ultimate. Decent damage on paper, yes, but that's if you hit it. I liken it to a Kukulkan or Sol ult. It will hurt if you get hit by it, but is so easily Aegised or avoided completely that it can't even be counted on consistently. I am having a hard time thinking of many worse ultimates in the game right now.

Probably the worst part of Jing Wei though, is that she is not fun to play. She feels so bland, so lifeless. She can't box because her steroid is so weak. I don't get excited thinking about playing her. My "best" game with her was a 7/2/14 stat line. I can't remember a single play I made, simply because her kit is so forgettable. Even though gods like Skadi and Chiron have been released in broken states, what makes them fun is their kits, pre- and post-nerf. Ratatoskr is still fun, even though his many nerfs have made him nearly useless in the current meta. I doubt Jing will get much play after a week or two. She is outclassed by too many gods.

Discuss.

>can't hit skillshots
>doesn't read skill synergy
>cries over a decent passive

You should be on the design team.

"boner inducing Smite goddess".... uhhhh, hmm...

It's a joke, but if they really cared about depicting her as a child they would not be showing her with a developed chest, thicker thighs (look at the god card), or have her skipping/prancing around in a way that says "I'm down for fun." Hi-Rez has no issue pushing the envelope a bit.

[Professor Genki]

I really like Jing Wei because she is just so easy to move around with.

This is all in my oppion, but i think Jing is now by far the most usless god created to date. Her ultimate is pathetic. IF it even hit's you it will only be one blast and do min. damage. Her 3 (dash) needs to be combined with other abilities to be effective. She's super squishy to the extreme. To the point of a nerfed Nu way can take out 2/3 of her health one spell dosn't matter what one it is. The only thing she has going for her is her #2 (Increased critcal chance + AoE damage) and her passive for arena to chase down wounded enemies (and then die getting back to your terrtory). Some people find her usfuel and amusing. I feel she was created only for the underworld event for her #1 to have a chance of throwing you into the lava. It says she's high mobility but it's only refering to her passive where you fly out of the fountain over 2/3 of the map. Not a god i'll ever use again even if she is buffed. But if you like High attack speed and a god only built for basic attack this god is for you. I suggesion maxing out #2 then 1 and avoiding her ult all together. Good luck have fun waiting for the next god to be released because this hunter was a waste of time resources and money to create. This is not me hating on hunters, which i love and main on. But this Jing ling chick pow ku yon, is a pathetic excuse for a release god. Kinda like "Hey the boss said that our due date is in a week, NOW what can we do to cut cornors." -Week later she's released- But hey please don't take my word on it unlock her then hate her because of your own reasons. xD

She really isn't that developed when compared to other gods. And her entire look seems more 14 year-old or so, in early teenage years, rather than a child.
Also, the skipping/prancing isn't even sexual and I don't see how anyone could think that. It's playful as an energetic kid of her age (with wings and a crossbow) would be.

[Agent Orange]

She is more-so a self buffing god who can have amazing early game potential, as well as a great return with her passive so she can heal and return quickly...

She's pretty average. I like anything high speed that allows you to escape and tease people with overextending but she still feels abit wonky.

The only thing I find odd about your assessment is the term 'boner inducing'. You really think a pixalised female with a face that's worse than the female Tekken characters from ps1 is sexy?

[TheGooeyBeans]

Looks like I'm not alone in my feelings about her! Another thing I've noticed is some players using her passive as an excuse to pick her in solo lane, and ditching Teleport. I think Jing will really struggle against a competent warrior or any god with a decent heal (e.g. Hades) in solo. Her early clear is average and her sustain is very questionable.

She is squishy - abusing a passive as a way to justify a weak solo pick is going to lead to a lot of losses. Nothing about her kit says "solo lane." She is a one dimensional ADC.

Hahaha it was a joke. A lot of people are obsessed with and/or offended by the sexualized nature of the Smite goddesses.

[ZeroG]

One of the worst gods I've ever played. Nothing about her is fun or interesting, and her ultimate is one of the worst ultimates I've ever seen.

I'ma be honest, I feel like she has one of the strongest early game adc ults beside amc

Ah yes the moro ns of the PC brigade that think every character is over-sexualised. Soon they'll be calling people pedophiles for picking Scylla
You should see what people say about Queen of Pain in dota 2. Yeah she is almost naked but she's a friggin succubus according to the lore :3

[Shinrai]

Played her for a few matches and let me give my opinion here too.

1. Her 1 is pretty much useless in most cases, can be kinde helpful in blocking another hunter if he/she is running around a lot or in slowing down a fleeing enemy, but usually pretty useless.

2. Her 2 is kinda ok, good for clearing groups of minions or for clustered gods, the main Problem i have with it is the fact that it actually DECRESES her damage (around 10%) per hit in exchange for the crit and aoe bonus(doesn't say that in the description, but i tested it 1 on 1 with a friend). Biggest Problem here would be that it's only 3 shots, conparing this to Artemis who has a few seconds and incresed damage + attack speed it seems kinda underpowered.

3. Her dash.....oh god that dash. The range is laughable, the speed sucks and it doesn't give you any kind of positiv effect. No buff, no invincibility frame, can't go through/above objects and it isn't even an attack like most other dashes in the game. Only in a rare case does this actually help you get away, in fact i've been killed twice while i was dashing. So, yeah i'd say it's useless, though i didn't test it with the knock up bonus because the setup with her 1 and 3 is stupid.

4. her Ultimate......what can you say, that thing sucks as hard as it gets. The damage is low, the activation takes way to long to actually hit anything and since you can't move while choosing your landing location you are a sitting duck after using it. It's another one of those abilitys that really need a buff or some kind of additional effect.

I like playing with her, her passive is cool. though it goes too far and i like her style(that big ass crossbow). But i they don't give her some significant buffs she's pretty much useless right now. Pretty much every other hunter has better skills and her basic attacks, even though they DO damage with the right build, are no different from them. So right now...she can be used for a bit of harassing and support but nothing that really gives her any value.

And, just because i have to mention that. My bet is that she will definitely get a Sailor Moon skin soemtime soon xD

She's pretty mediocre all in all. She's not bad in any way but there's so many other and better gods, I don't know why you'd want to use her. Probably will never play her again after mastering her.

A god who does pretty much everything she does but better is for example Apollo.

She is pretty much the Nemesis of the Hunters. I think she is fun but others want something powerful
