SMITE - God Reveal - Merlin, the Master Wizard 

His puishment for being so good in the game lmao

At least call him a playable character. Merlin is no god.

Neither is Guan yi, Achilles, Arachne, Bakasur, Chiron, Daji, Fafnir, J I N G W E I, Kumbhakarna, Kuzenbo, Scylla - anymore?

@@7tales357 What was the point of your comment? Did I call them gods? NO, I did not. The original commenter on thebother hand called Merlin a god which is incorrect. I am sick and tired with fools like you. Every time hirez releases a non god character, I have to reply to the same bs.

@@roberth4395 God is obviously being used as a simple classifying term. In DotA, a playable character is known as a hero. In LoL, a playable character is known as a champion. If someone tells you about a new champion reveal, you know that it is for league, in the same vein, if someone tells you about a new god reveal, you know that it is for smite. The distinction is a marketing tool. Playable characters in smite were still known as gods when the game first came out, despite there being arachne as part of the starting lineup. You are under no obligation to "reply to the same bs", in case you were somehow unaware.

@@Dieonceperday I play since 2012. To use your words. "God" is obviously an incorrect and unnecessary term that is used since the beginning of the game. As non diety characters were represented since alpha they chose an incorrect therm and they were avare of it. Just because they ignored this issue for 6+ years it will not make it any better. Once again I have to repeat myself. If your game makes lore important in the game, which Smite does, then do not call non god characters gods. You are wrong and you know it well.

Why would they though? It all fits so nicely together

Lye it was awhile ago.

Lye old comment I know but this was almost 4-5 years ago when they still did that.

no, it wasn't

Slimer44 Producciones sarcasm lol

Hirez logic = He can't be OP if I miss everything!

still better than me

Did you notice that clean decapitation at 1:28?😂

James Padilla fatalitY

LMFAO

What about the orb that grows with range and blink? That's Li-Ming right there

Arcane, ice and fire are all mage specs in WoW too

Blizzard should never be an opener though, apply Chill first with Frostbolt and chain it with Blizzard / Cone of Cold for better DPS.

Only real gods are in Smite

@@tylerkrohn2233 Daji, Merlin, Arthur..

@@tylerkrohn2233 woooooooooooooow

Tyler Krohn king arthur

Never since it will spread up too much controversy

Exactly what I thought.

Khadgar

Payback for the whole Overwatch / Paladin thingy I guess

@@SuperToffer but... hirez copied everything from blizzard there too...

If you look at his ice abilities, the pictures for Frost Bolt and Blizzard are literally ripped from WoW. The same pictures they use for Jaina in HotS too.

trying to find out if i would actually play the god before i get the skin tbh.

@@roflstompin he was free and I tried him in arena. Honestly even if you don't know how to play him his Arcane combo with magical power is pretty bonkers

Yep

I gotta know how to play him now.

I'm finna get that brih

he's only ascencion 2

@Ren - san The new style of lore im guessing :/

Yeah, with Goku also xD

Seven deadly sins xs

Oh hello fellow dead by daylight player

It’s called seven deadly sins Merlin is a woman and she’s op

Yeah also with the arcane combo he did the other way around to what the lore lady said

Yes I was so triggered when he constantly missed dragon breath

in a normal game your enemy would try to escape from you ... youll cast behind to finish the job@@jpsx4ever125 they missed the ability to show how the combo would be executed correct

@@thefench1 Even this isnt correct and he still missed it its a more positive way to look at it so thank you for your reply I'll go with that :)

Why criticize someone who is just playing the game. It's not like you can remind the combo easy when playing a character with 3 different stances that each do something different with the abilities. It just shows they are a normal person like all of you on here

no

Yes

Wait

Simply genius.

This made me laugh!

Someone call a Castoria, he needs to be punished

@@OrionPaxG4 And Fou, don't forget Fou

Put Cath Palug in the game he must be stopped!

Whahahahaah

They already have a Dr Strange skin- it's on Janus.

@@dragontyron what about dormammu

@@dragontyron Which one?

@@darksev.6468 Worldwalker. The portal effect they did is an almost-perfect imitation of the portals in the Dr Strange movie.

@@dragontyron havent played in a while im gonna go look tonight lmaooooo

Here's daddy what's up 🍭

is it bad that that’s the only reason i bought him lol

@@nikhilsilva5244 ikr

Who's the twink? Arthur is a wolf or a jock

Wrong! The actual Merlin was like decrepit old man and Arthur was probably middle aged.

@Cpt Dinosaur one of the other reasons I facepalmed my brain

I just read the first line as goodbye and then couldnt understand what you were on about. Took me like 4 times to realise it says "good guy"

I mean, invoker is literally a world of warcraft mage, so there wasn't that much originality there either.

The real invoker has 20+ spells

@@Raydr62 ummmm u know that the whole game is based of world of warcraft? since map dota was made.

@@outcast367 No. That's wrong. Dota is a mod based of WARCRACT not WORLD of warcraft. Dota 2 became it's own game later. League of legends is a game based off the moba genre which stemmed from mod from a game. It's like how battle royal became popular as a genre, where the original idea came from a mod.

@@Raydr62 to me personaly they are the same games. i get them mixed up a lot of times. since u can find same looking characters in both games. and i was just talking about dota 2 where it came from, i don't care about league at all. but yeah u are right

They buff it in this patch

@@casper6786 did they say what the buff is yet?

Jesse Mendez I’m pretty sure they gave it 135 power or something like that

@@jessemendez2165 It's a t3 item now

@@jessemendez2165 it's on the patch notes. Something like 165 power and movement speed.

Isnt awilix apart of Mesopotamian mythology

@@oblivionj2323 no she is part of the mesomercian and Mayan pantheon

I think Nergal the god of the underworld would make a great start for a Mesopotamian pantheon.

@@humangirl2122 good choice

@@oblivionj2323 no

Lol now

Monday, the 11th. Maybe Tuesday, I forget which day is patch day.

They delayed it to the 11th to fix bugs.

@@Archtew not now try again

@@mr.niceguy777 wait it isnt now? I thought it would be cuz they released the video of him

he will be i think a aggressive tank (like bachus) and if i remember right he will have a poison in his kit... i hope that his ult will be long/big range so player can feel that jorm is actually long

@@staszeksraka4799 Make him go straight into the air and rain poison all over the map

isn't thanatos supposed to be the angel of death ?

@@Mr.Cerebr0 In greek mithology, yes.

Dave Vira asking the real questions

In Spring, I believe. Currently, the Switch Beta has some UI bugs in the main menu, but gameplay is surprisingly smooth, even in handheld mode. You will notice a downgrade in textures and models, but frames are pretty consistent, even in team fights. I would also note that Jungle Practice is pretty buggy on Switch, but that is a minor complaint when you consider the work required to get a game like Smite to run well on the Switch.

Erik Gutierrez yea aside from the lag when players leave/join mid game I've barely had any gameplay issues honestly

Never.

Jobert Uy dr. fate* cuz Merlin is like boosted dr. strange(read dr. fate)

@@justgoaway8508Golden Age Dr. Strange.*

@@justgoaway8508 also known as literally the most OP marvel hero

true

Ummmm. Not even close

If you manage to hit your attacks,Yeah. While i wait for merlin to be in the game,Ill be using my scylla for the time being ^^

How dare you insult Lord Shaggy like that, Merlin comes no where close to comparing to our Eternal Hero's power

SHAGGY PLS

So yemir, medusa, fenrir, arachne,etc doesn't count

Think before u write anything idiot

​@@Shadowdrives All of these are mythical entities though. Arthur was a HUMAN King. Merlin was a HUMAN Mage. Cu Chuulain was a HUMAN Warrior. Etc Etc Etc... Can we get things that arn't Human???

@@bamiyamoto8187 Hey nice argument, I'll be sure to keep that one in mind; genius.

MCRaven and? you really gonna say you dont get in if your not a god? cause then you have to remove a majority of smites cast for being stories of pantheons and not gods anyway, or for being god halfbreeds

It is not that overpowered, he uses a lot of mana and has long cd

The only nerf he needs is a cool cool down reduction on his 1 in ice form and hes in a good state. Even though he has cc and damage, he has very long cooldowns (especially stance switch) and drains mana insanely fast. The only short cool down he has is the ice form 1, which is ironically the only broken part of his kit.

@@Raydr62 like fafnir long cd when he came out

@@Raydr62 I think that's the point though. Pretty much every mage has their main damaging ability on a short CD without cdr. Merlins only even seems to get low CD once chronos pendent is online which is alot of CD where other Mages don't require it.

oof

Ironically Frostfire Ullr is a discount apollo without apollo's badass kit. Change my mind.

Merlin is like 3rd generation discount of Apollo confirmed

@gottfer no u

Gonzalo Garcia How can you say something so bold, yet so controversial?

That would be so cool

Norse World Serpent is next. Followed I believe by a mystery God and Horus and Set from the Egyptian pantheon

They've literally outlined the entire year of gods. Are you dumb?

what about ishtar, ereshkigal, anu, dumuzid, tiamat or the bull of heaven In the future? And isn't gilgamesh a demigod though? Like a certain lancer, riders and a berserker.

@@gamegeneration1305 "isn't he a demi god though"... as I browse through all the characters in smite that aren't gods.

Those Maya/Aztec Gods are like... From Mexico or something... Voodoo might as well be in Caribbean or Louisiana...

@@tsohgallik Central American gods

@@tsohgallik :(

Trump

Jesi Frostwhisper what about him?

You just had to mention your girlfriend eh?

Dumbledore and Harry Potter suck.

meeeh better voldemort skin

No one cares that ur girlfriend wants a dumbledore skin bruh.. they are not gonna add that just beacuse u want it or ur girlfriend.

Yea oh yea yea oh yikes u sound jealous

100% they did him like this so people would ship Arthur x Merlin There's no other reason to make an old wizard look like a hot dad.
