SMITE - God Reveal - Cliodhna, Queen of the Banshees

[@wisniamw]

It will be insanely funny to see at the start people sitting in wall for too long and they won't pay attention to their HP and will rush on you with 20% :D

[@horsthooden4600]

Its really not that strong u can chill pretty long and set up your ambush.

[@shanemorton773]

Yeah it needs to be added to. When it was released it was nerfed so they could just sit in the wall for 10+ seconds. Bs tbh. They need to have it set at a percentage of your max HP.

Honestly, disappointed with the reveal cinematic... But hey, gatta make a Spooky Ghost character during October, might as well bastardize a diety of Love and Beauty known for Healing and Protection while doing it, amiright?

[@Getsugaru]

@@VirtuesOfSin Indeed. This character screams "American idea of what a banshee is." In other words, not a banshee. Seriously, do the research. Banshees are not the cause of death; they are mourners.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

@@Getsugaru In Irish mythology, the ones that spawned the myths of the banshee in the first place, they're the mourners, but to hear one is a bad omen. Their cries mean someone you know is dead, hence being only perceivable to them only.

[@VirtuesOfSin]

@@brynion2117 She Screams, She Jumps and Claws, She Goes invisible to targets she hits with her 3, and she calls forth Banshee ghosts from a rift... How exactly does this assassin set reference any of her aspect of a deity? You know, the healer love goddess of beauty and protection? 1) Banshees keen, they do not scream. Their keening does NOT hurt you, it is only a forewarning. 2) Banshee (Bean Sidhe) are NOT ghosts, they are Faeries. Representing them as Ghosts is a disrespect to their mythos. 3) If she DOES have lore associated to her that I missed, please give it instead of just saying a blank statement without examples. I'd love to see at least a sliver of lore attached to her as she is one of my favorite Celtic deities and I'd like to play her more than "spooky ghost lady that screams" like how most people view and depict (incorrectly) the Banshee on modern media.

Will deafen be impactful enough to be considered a CC? Audio coordination usually comes with trying to prepare for anything bad that will happen. But given they're deafening you with a shriek, I imagine you don't need audio to see what's happening at that point. Perhaps if deafen made it feel like you lost communication by taking away your sight of allied units, treating your vision on them like enemy units for the duration.

So just a heads up, she is NOT unhittable in a wall. Attacks that go through walls (such as anubis' Foul Breath & Sexy Bedtime Eyes) seem to be able to damage and kill her. Source: caught a banshee with bad breath right after she walked into the wall. Nothing will save you from the lord of the dead. Nothing.

[@philspence3073]

Just realised, this format and style has been done for three years, since 2019 (Olorun's release)

[@Getsugaru]

I saw the title of the video and thought "Oh cool! A Celtic Healer/Support! Maybe she'll get an ability that grants vision of enemies to her allies so that they are aware of ganks, and another that provides a shield when an ally would take lethal damage allowing them a moment to disengage or to finish the fight before they die; that'll be cool." Instead, they made her an assassin who focuses on DPS instead of team support. Cool gameplay, but it just feels off a bit to have her dealing damage instead of healing (I mean, she could have had birds that heal you with birdsong!)... An interesting approach, to be sure, just not the direction I'd have thought to take her in. Looking forward to when they eventually bring in Lugh, Balor, Queen Medb, and - if not connected to Queen Medb - Finnbhennach and Donn Cuailnge (who are known to have taken the forms of incredibly fertile stud bulls). It may not be how I would prefer, but I am glad they're adding more Celtic divinity to their tales. Also, Ishtar and Ereshkigal when? : P
