Rework arachne

[skydiamand]

If there is one character who should be reworked its arachne.
Playing against her is not fun and she requirs 0 skill to play. all you do is pres w and m1 and if that doesnt work out you get a free escape with her ult.
the only intersting part about her kit is her spider webs but thats all.
the biggest problem that makes her so unfun is her ult. every time you try to fight her she can just press 4, become cc imune and escape. atleast with characters like ratatoskr and thanatos they have to stand still for a second what makes you compleetly vunorable. you actualy have to be carefull using these ults while with arachne you just use it regarthless. you cant punish her for using it incorrectly.
for the rest there is just nothing fun about a character that rushes you down, spams basics, aplies bleed and a 2 milion year stun. You dont have to put any efford into getting kills. every arachne I see even though she gets way behind somehow still can easely kill people.
please change her ult and her abilities. keeping her as an easy god is fine but dont let it encourage w+m1

Really?

I remember Arachne generally struggling and being hard to play. She can stomp lower-level players well enough, but she isn't the only who can do that.

Real power is in the players who know what they're doing.


Anyway, my advice is play Arachne yourself. You'll either push her winrate into the roof, forcing a nerf, or you'll get to the stage where you aren't constantly winning and can learn why (see how people play around you).


Her ult is way worse than Rata or Thana, since it is 'slower'. Thana has a stun / execute, both which are great for engaging. Arachne has a slow. Better than nothing! (And it used to be nothing, lol).

Using Thana ult to run away means you positioned badly. Same for Rata.

Arachne ult is just better off being used as mobility since it is easier to use for that than the webs (and it isn't that high impact in the first place).


The stun requires you to get hit multiple times, so position better, try using your abilities. The fact you didn't mention her heal makes me doubt your qualifications to call for a rework.

Anyway, yeah, try playing her. You can rent a god for a small amount of favour.

I remember when Arachne's Ult would pull an enemy member into your team, through walls. Now those were good times.

Amen. I used to pull people inside the base in Arena, good times.

But Ares ult is easily bead countered because of the long animation. Arachne ult was pretty much instant.

TRUE unless you know how to cooldown build with relic dagger and get 5 man ult off. I have that achievement. You have to counter the counter. Nevertheless yes it is easily beaded out of if done right.

I actually dislike Arachne's spiders. I'm not very fond of minions that can whittle off significant health. At the same time, in arena, it's pretty easy to avoid hitting it a majority of the time. So not really an issue I worry about often.

I think their issue with her ult is not just what she can do, but at how quickly it can be activated. Pinning her down is frustrating when her ult is ready. At the same time, I feel there are several other gods that are far more slippery than she is.

This in so many levels.

While this discussion is about Arachne, I want to mention how badly Ah Puch needs a rework. Right now he has no cc immune in his kit, no dash/movement speed boost, unlike many gods he actually needs to set up if he wants to hit hard. He can counter healers, but that's pretty much it.

Please learn how to spell. Also, be quiet

Take the CCR items that also give spell power. Ethereal Staff is a good item that does that. If you're having issues with enemy team CCing you then get the Bead Relic and also the Movement Relic so you can dash away if need be to escape. There are relics that can help you and if it's that bad you can also get the Relic Dagger for 40 second CD reduction on your relics if need be too.

You just have to wait for the right time / moment to go in with Ah Puch. Wait until your tank and warriors go in and then creep forward and combo the enemies. Don't go in first and get CC trained. You have to learn when to engage to avoid being combo'd to death or caught out.
