As a Shiva worshipper and Indian Hindu, this is one of, if not, the best portrayals of Shiva I have ever seen. His voice actor is perfect and his design is incredible.

Im an atheist from Brazil, but I love mythologies, and Hinduism is one of my favorites, and of course Shiva is the one I admire the most, althought not being a believer. And I was so eager to see Shiva in this game, and I was so happy to see how spot on the devs managed to depic the great Shiva, in both the most respectable way possible and also in the best representation possible. He looks absolutely incredible! As he should be.

@@smilehaver No, nothing like that, although I have heard that of those from the Indian community did had an issue with that (I mean he is one of their primary gods so its understandable) But the reason for the ptsd he's mentioning it's because (Spoiler warning): He is one of the most difficult boss in the game you fight at around the late game (like around lvl 90+), he's capable of one shoting you, healing himself, debuffing your entire party and summoning high lvl enemies at his side just to add salt to injury.

Lol if they added his third eyes I think he’d destroy all the players in the lobby. When his third opens like nothing we’ll survive

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@kooochie I think the third eye would be a good relic instead, acting like a combination of Ra’s and Janus’s ults. It’s be like a charging, hyper precise, instantaneous moving, map crossing beam of power that ignites the ground it passes over to deal a true damage blow to enemy gods current health, crippling them on direct contact. Like a bulked up but harder to use sunder. One branching upgrade could make a massive explosion on impact that stuns and blinds enemy gods directly hit (along with a deafening roar for anyone with headphones) and damages and trembles enemy gods in a 60 meter radius, while leaving a blazing wasteland in the blast zone that deals low but persistent damage in its wake until it expires. Think like a combustion bender from the _Avatar_ cartoons. The other upgrade makes the beam ignore walls and other obstructions utterly and it marks all enemy gods hit. Marked enemies are revealed for a duration (even when stealthed), you and allies move faster in the direction of marked enemies, and killing them while revealed recharges ability and relic cooldowns by a few seconds, while this upgrade itself already has a faster recharge and or an extra charge compared its more blatantly destructive counterpart.

[@vokun864]

Fun fact, in Hindu mythology, Ganesha is Shiva's son. Parvati is Ganesha's mother and Shiva's wife. One day, Parvati asked Ganesh to guard her while she was taking a bath. Shiva was out doing stuff and came back to parvati to see her but Ganesha was in the way and wouldn't let him through to see Parvati. In a fit of rage, Shiva cut Ganesha's head off. This made parvati very angry and upset so Shiva went out and obtained the head of an elephant and put it on Ganesh. That's why Ganesha has an Elephant head. I believe there are other interpretations too (This is what I've heard in KZbin videos and websites about this Hindu lore, if I got any of this lore wrong than excuse my ignorance and feel free to correct me.)

[@jettblade]

He has a great design. I actually don't like the passive on him, the rest of the abilities are great. To me that passive seems like it would have been better on a stance-switcher where you have more control on the added effects rather than having a gauge that you have to manage and possible lose any advantage mid fight. Its not bad but it seems more geared toward upper levels of play.

[@Galahime]

maybe as they slowly nerf him they will hit a point where they will need to make it a switch if they did it rn it would be to op with his kit

[@jettblade]

​@@Galahime His kit is already a little OP even without the added effects from the passive. He has an area Vortex, cone damage with Knock-up potential, and a Double Dash with Damage mitigations. I don't see him becoming a full stance-switcher(maybe do something like Achilles) but I could see him get a different passive and some of the added effects being just standard part of the ability. That passive just seems like something you should have more control over and not have to worry about managing all the time.

[@LadyTheLaddy]

@@jettblade yea i know you're average player like me will just end up losing the CC/heal when I want it. But at the same time I think if they really wanted him to be a healer type they'd have made him more like Hel, so I think this is there way of nerfing his ally support. I do think he's cool though and the fact they made him more aggro makes sense he'd be a warrior but he leans pretty heavily towards guardian too me which is a lil scary especially with the current meta being so hybridized. Who knows maybe its easier to manage than we think

[@xKyanite]

I'd be happy if they made more gods geared toward better players. There's over a hundred gods to choose from and a few high skill high reward gods don't hurt the game.

[@jettblade]

@@xKyanite An issue is if you have a god that only top-tier players can play like Yemoja, Persephone, or Freya. You get to the point where they are impossible to balance: either they are overpowered or utterly worthless with little in-between. I do agree that there needs some variance in skill level with gods but having ones that only work at the highest level is a bad design. Shiva overall is kind of a bridge, Most of his skills are easy to learn having a low skill floor but that passive gives him a high ceiling. He will be easy to play but hard to master, which is not a bad design.

Those who do something stupid in Shiva's name will have to answer to their own foolishness and karma. They will pay for it in their own time. Such people have no concept of respect, as a result they will not give others respect and in turn never recieve it either.. Also relax and learn to meditate.

You should add more Hindu gods like :- Kamadeva ( god of desire ) Parashuram ( The axe warrior ) Kalki ( last avatar of Vishnu ) Lakshmi ( Goddes of wealth ) Kuber ( Gold storer ) Kartike ( Warrior from gods ) Hanuman ( Fearless God or Worahipper of Rama ) Many more....................................

[@Lonebeastffjd]

Yes they should definitely try this

[@amresponsibilitytakernotli9613]

Why you interested in kama deva 🤣 not satisfied with your life ? I can't imagine what kind of mind set you peoples have ..have some clean choices and keep personal things secret don't have to spill things like mentally ill peoples

[@surajhawk27]

Well u can expect 2 in this the most being Karthikey the god of war and the mighty Hanuman since there's Ram

[@dev786ish]

Next bigshot would be hanumaan...💪💪💪💪💪

[@jianfongyaw]

I hope they can get this right, and with some updates for the older gods too.

[@vikkstardoom2950]

HES SO IMMUNE!

[@s0rana]

The visuals are amazing, like.. all of them. It could be a really great movie!

[@ladyreverie7027]

Wow these are BEAUTIFUL animations of Lord Shiva.

[@polterghost_]

Well, now, after 7 years, I feel obligated to play again.

[@ravexfire1]

I was hoping that his "Ulti" would be the "Deva Loka", I know that many will understand why, and to a certain extent we had it at least in concept, with his "dance to the sound of the universe".

[@internetrambo1069]

The losers from record of ragnarok infiltrated here too. Stay away with your fodder characters.

[@madhavpola9636]

Combat scenarios look amazing 👍

[@infernoboi1503]

This design looks insanely well done, the lore behind him makes him look like the strongest god in smite by a light year which I just love.

[@rebelindian1326]

The legendary GOD --------- SHIVA --------- The God of all Gods.

[@jivanshumiraroad9226]

I think you should add one more ability related to his anger created from his thrid eye 👁️

[@_mrspanky_4587]

Anubis ult

[@Florggy]

His dance is the best thing in game. Watched it 20 times

[@KarthikeshwarSathya]

Thank you for showing one of our trinity god's in a very beautiful way 🇮🇳❤️ will play smite. !

[@ludekwrozyna6031]

WOW i am really curious to what SMITE has planned next and i think that Shiva is gonna be really op,to be honest one of the coolest gods SMITE has created!

[@mr.clunique...1824]

I think they should be added third eye ability of lord Shiva as ultimate 🕉️✨

[@dreamxd9331]

Yeap and if he uses it then ...Everyone should get Logged out of the game and The PC shuts downs ...and Doesn't open for 6 days ....thats would be awesome 😂🔥

[@mr.clunique...1824]

@@dreamxd9331 yep LOL...😂

[@Bond._007]

True , its very hurtful to see many indians saying nice things for this game like wth

[@slamamander4652]

can't wait to see all of the cursed and amazing skins that come with him.

[@jonathanheineman1702]

I'm eyeballing maining him. Great jungle potential and kill securing. His pull and poke is terrific while his dash has a lotta application. Flexible tools for solo and team fighting. His ult is great for winning team fights. Really hoping we get some killer skins.

[@arpitkhairfitnessandsports7623]

How can a game can define the strength scale of shiva

[@xxMaro92xx]

Ravana started as a Warrior too and became an assassin. Let's see how this works out for his master ;) :D

[@srawat27]

I don't even play this game but props to whoever does the research for this game cause the representation and terminology used are all accurate.

[@TheNoxian]

The splash art is so freaking FIRE! Shiva ROCKS!

[@ItsThatRayGuy]

Man I miss when they had the old drawings in the lore section rather than reusing the reveal trailers.

[@xrain90]

Shiva, The Destroyer--he will dance on your grave.

[@jianfongyaw]

And the dance reshapes that grave into an entirely new world, very different from what you expected.

[@lionalrodrigus730]

Shiva the dancer ?

[@vedantsisode6043]

@@lionalrodrigus730 the death dancer

[@lionalrodrigus730]

@@vedantsisode6043 so shiva killed my best friend ? What is he destroying ?

[@apoorvaagrawal1917]

Shiva is dope.

[@fmtoledo2053]

The moment I see Shiva's Ult be like strikin' his dance on, in my head be like: (Devs if you can see this please take note) . Shiva be voguing in battle, which is really, really glorious, like imagine him having to slay, with his ult by voguing. Plus it can be a great partnership with Fabulous Chiron.

[@dns_error]

1:55 fire of agni? 😂

[@BeingBenaam]

[@yoopark6965]

Just lil correction Ultimate is pronounced as "Taandavaa" not Tandaavaa 😊

[@jamestingtat6266]

I'm really digging the cinematics

You guys did justice to Adiyogi ! Great !

i like how Clumzy was the pilot for the showcase

[@leonroy1260]

Would love to see *Lord Vishnu* next!!!

[@nevermind541]

Oh yeah baby gimme that 😍and please for gods fix the fking bugs

[@emmahas2moms8038]

Hirez will never fix the programming problems with this game, they are too invested in skins. Let's say they have X amount of money, they will invest 60% of that into the design team and then the other 40% gets spread out between the programming team, merch team, ad revenues, taxes, etc.

[@mrv70]

As a Hindu , it’s all cool and not disrespectful. Although shiv is indestructible and undamageable.

[@utkarshiitbhu4204]

Yep 😌😌

[@imperialguardsman5929]

So is many other gods in game

[@mariosquires115]

Congrats to 1 mil!

Bro what a cool animation.

[@aakashsingh5288]

In Hinduism Kali is his wife and in order to destroy things he perfectly synergies with kali( the goddess of energy)

[@ES-pc6co]

When is this god coming in SMITE for PC?

[@LukeR1M]

February 22nd.

[@RavenStorm332]

Same as on console the live versions are all updated at the same time unless you're talking about the PTS

[@Fenriir]

Tuesday

[@youngstan7009]

Just a small correction, it's shiva TAANDAVA Not tandaava, Great audio & design of all the characters & looks fun to play, 💯

[@naxnath2393]
