Shiva is totally braindead

[BBirdy]

All of the gods abilities are insanely easy to land and the ult is a nobrainer.
When he blinks you and does his 1+2 combo and starts ulting away, there is literally nothing you can do. He drops his kit so fast that cc'ing him is hard and by the time your teammates react to him, he is already ulting. By the time the ult ends he has his dash up and soon other abilities. Feels like he has no counterplay excluding ymir or thor walling his ult.

It just feels really oppressive and I hate seeing him in every game now.
Feels bad to drop a mage kit on Shiva and deal about 20% of the lads max hp, while he takes 65% of yours without putting in any effort or having to hit any actual skillshots.

He is just boring and could use a rework.

that's warriors or any tank build in general right now, braindead w key is the meta until they nerf item procs on full defense builds.

yeah he has like 55% winrate I think, then some gods like king arthur or thoth have been at 40% for months, hi rez balancing i guess

shiva is strong, he has a rlly strong kit with a lot of cc immune and free poke, but i do think he falls mid / lategame to any more aggressive and oppressive solo

i say more aggressive and oppressive but i mean like,, bakasura, wukong, odin, hades, etc,, these characters will literally blow him up. sure he has solid cc and burst dmg / poke, but his sustained dmg is nothing compared to a lot of these other chars in solo rn imo . hes a great pick for modes like arena or joust im sure with his AOE/ zoning tho

It's Smite. Everyone is braindead. Baby's first "MOBA"
